Community Development Department -Urban Beautification Services Division Update On Street Lighting And Decorative Sign Project. Mr. Richart presented this Agenda Item and stated, "[I] Met with Progress Energy on the 18`" [February]; we did a walk through; we finalized the whole project. They are ; essentially done. The only thing they have to finish is Vistawilla [Drive] where there is a couple of lights they did not do because of the Median thing that we are still working with, but essentially they are done." Mr. Richart added, "Billing on that should start pretty immediately. So we are going to have four (4) Streets hit at once on our Billing and they are going to hit early." Advisory Committee Member Brenda Hayes Brown asked, "Where are we with the status of Vistawilla [Drive]? I know it went before Commission and the other question would be, where are we with this Homeowner in Chelsea Woods; what did we ultimately end up with?" Mr. Richart stated that regarding the Homeowner who wanted the street lighting on his own will not happen. The City will not be able to accommodate doing that. The City requires that the Homeowners Association approach the program; it could not be just a street or a single person due to the fact that a group of people on a street or a single person could not commit to the financial requirement to have the street light bill be paid." Further discussion. Discussion ensued about communicating more information out to the homeowners regarding the installation of Street Lights on their streets and the requirements that the City has regarding this issue. Mr. Richart stated that the street sign portion of the project has been pushed back until March because of the ordering of the signs. Mr. Richart stated that the signs installation will hopefully be completed by June 2008. Discussion. REGULAR 603.
