A thorization /
REQUEST: The Community Development Department, Urban Beautification Division, is
requesting authorization to decrease the City Standard Street Light Base Rate
from $14.02 to $13.79 per month pursuant to a revised rate schedule from
Progress Energy, effective January 1, 2011. The revised rate represents a
reduction of $.23 per base street light as compared to the previous rate.
SYNOPSIS: The City's street lights are leased from Progress Energy at a flat monthly rate, which
is inclusive of all maintenance and replacement costs. On April 13, 1998, the City
Commission adopted the `Standard' Street Light consisting of one (1) basic 30 / 35'
Concrete Pole attached to one (1) High Pressure Sodium 100 watt Cobra Fixture. This
street light configuration is provided as a minimum standard along public roadways
throughout Winter Springs. The cost for a standard street light is revised annually by
Progress Energy and is used to calculate a `Base Rate' for quarterly reimbursements
to approved Neighborhood Groups who are in a Neighborhood Street Sign and Light
Improvement Agreement (NSSLIA) with the City for upgraded decorative street
lights. Currently, the City has an inventory of approximately 2,300 units in the Street
Light Program and eight (8) Neighborhood Groups are participating with decorative
upgrades through an executed NSSLIA with the City.
CONSIDERATIONS:
In December of each year Progress Energy makes available to the City a
revised rate schedule for street lighting that will become effective January 1st of the
upcoming calendar year. On January 1, 2011, a rate adjustment took affect which decreased
the monthly cost of our standard base street lights by $.23 each. Such cost revisions are
comprised of rates and fees which have received approval from the Florida Public Service
Commission (FPSC) and are not negotiable by the end user.
1
Based upon Progress Energy rates approved by the FPSC and published in the
rate schedule (PSC BA -1 Sec. No. VI - Sixty-Sixth Revised Sheet No. 6.105), effective January
1, 2011, the City Standard Street Light Base Rate should be adjusted from $14.02 to $13.79
per month. This cost revision will result in an overall decrease of approximately $6,000 for
one (1) year of street light service (Line Code 1526 - 54312) as compared to the previous rate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Streetlighting Fund (1526) has a budget of $444,500 for expenditures
related to ongoing costs of street lighting as billed by Progress Energy. Funding for the City
Standard Base Street Light in the amount of $13.79 will continue to come from Street
Lighting Line Code (1526 - 54312). This Progress Energy street light price revision became
effective on January 1, 2011; therefore, the revised cost will be retroactive to the effective
date, upon Commission approval.
COMMUNICATION EFFORTS:
This Agenda Item has been forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission; City
Manager; City Attorney /Staff; placed in Press Packets; placed in the City Hall (Lobby) City
Commission Meeting binder; and is available on the City's Website, LaserFiche, and the
City's Server.
Further, information related to this Agenda Item has been sent to media/press

Associations on file with the City, all individuals who have requested Agendas /Agenda Item
