Authorization
REQUEST: The Community Development Department is requesting authorization to set the
City Standard Streetlight Rate at $12.75 per month pursuant to a revised rate
schedule provided by Progress Energy effective on August 1, 2008. The revised
rate represents an increase of $ .11 from the previous rate of $12.64, which
became effective on January 1,2008.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to approve a revision of the City
Standard Streetlight Rate for one (1) City Standard Concrete Streetlight Pole with one
(1) lOOw Cobra Light Fixture.
CONSIDERATIONS:
On April 13, 1998, the City Commission adopted the City Standard Streetlight
consisting of one (1) non-decorative concrete pole attached to one (1) basic lOOw cobra
fixture. This streetlight configuration is provided as a minimum lighting standard along
public roadways throughout the City of Winter Springs.
Based upon Progress Energy rates approved by the Florida Public Service
Commission (FPSC), and published in the Progress Energy Rate Schedule (RS 1) effective
August 1, 2008, the City standard streetlight rate should be adjusted from $12.64 to $12.75
per month to reflect an increase in fuel and energy costs.

FUNDING:
Funding for the City standard streetlighting will continue to come from the Urban
Beautification Streetlighting Line Code (1526-54312).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the August 1, 2008 Revised City
Standard Streetlight Rate of $12.75 per month; an increase of $ .11 per street light as
compared to the current rate of$12.64 per month.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
The Progress Energy streetlight price revision became effective on August 1, 2008;
therefore, the new cost would be retro-active to the effective date upon Commission approval.
