PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to approve a revision of the baseline streetlight rate for City standard concrete streetlight poles and standard lOOw cobra light fixtures. CONSIDERATIONS: On April 13, 1998, the City Commission adopted the City standard streetlight consisting of (1) one non-decorative concrete pole attached to (1) one basic lOOw cobra fixture. This streetlight configuration is provided as a minimum lighting configuration by the City along public roadways throughout Winter Springs. Around November of each year, Progress Energy makes available to the City of Winter Springs a revised rate schedule for streetlighting that becomes effective January 1 st of the upcoming year. The revised rates are based upon cost adjustments that have received approval from the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC). Based upon Progress Energy rates approved by the FPSC and published in the rate schedule effective January 1, 2007, the City standard base streetlight cost should be adjusted from $13.29 per month to $13.13 per month. 010807_ COMM _ CONSENT_ 404 _2007_ Street lighting_ Base_Rate FUNDING: Funding for the City standard streetlighting will continue to come from the Urban Beautification, Utility Services - Streetlighting Line Code (1525-54312).
