REQUEST: The Community Development Department, Urban Beautification Services
Division, is requesting authorization to revise the baseline streetlight rate.
PURPOSE: This agenda item is needed for the City Commission to approve revision of the base
streetlight rate for the City Standard Streetlight Pole and Cobra Fixture.
CONSIDERATIONS:
r
On April 13, 1998, the City Commission adopted the City Standard Streetlight, which
is a non-decorative concrete pole with a basic lOOw cobra fixture, at an original cost of $8.72
per month. In 2002, the rate was adjusted to $9.71, and in 2004 the rate was increased to
$10.32 per streetlight.
Based upon current Progress Energy rates which include the August 1st, 2004 Storm
Cost Recovery Fees, the following details our current cost for the City Standard Streetlight.
. Luminaries - Fuel, Energy, and Rental $7.63
. Pole Rental $3.86
. Gross Receipts Tax $ .06
. Total $11.55

Item 203 - November 14, 2005
r Since the Municipal Franchise Fee ($0.35) is a 'pass-thru' fee and returned to the
City by Progress Energy, it has not been included in the City Standard Streetlight cost. There
is also a customer charge of $1.09 on each monthly billing from Progress Energy that cannot
be quantified into the individual streetlight cost.
FUNDING:
Funding for the City Standard Streetlighting will continue to be taken from the Utility
Services - Streetlighting Line Code (1525-54312).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the revised City Standard Street
Lighting Cost of $11.55 per streetlight.
r
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE:
The price revision for City Standard Streetlighting will be made effective beginning
November 15,2005.
