The Community Development Department, Urban Beautification Division, is requesting
authorization to increase the City Standard Street Light Base Rate from $13.79 to
$13.91 per month pursuant to a revised rate schedule from Progress Energy, effective
January 1, 2012. The revised rate represents an increase of $.12 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 inclusive of all
maintenance and replacement costs. On April 13, 1998, the Commission adopted
the `standard' street light consisting of one (1) 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 used to calculate a `base'
street light rate for quarterly reimbursements to neighborhood groups who have a
Neighborhood Street Sign and Light Improvement Agreement ( NSSLIA)
with the city. Currently, the city has an inventory of approximately 2,300 street lights and
eight (8) neighborhood groups are participating in the NSSLIA Program.
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, 2012, a rate adjustment took affect which increased the monthly cost of
our standard base street lights by $.12 each. Such cost revisions are comprised of rates and
fees which have received approval from the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) and
Consent 203 PAGE 1 OF 2 - January 23, 2012
are not negotiable by the end user.
Based upon Progress Energy rates approved by the FPSC and published in the rate schedule
(PSC BA -1 Sec. No. VI - Sixty- Seventh Revised Sheet No. 6 105), effective January 1, 2012,
the City Standard Street Light Base Rate should be adjusted from $13.79 to $13.91 per
month. This cost revision will result in an overall increase of approximately $3,500 for one
(1) year of street light service (1526 Fund), as compared to the previous rate.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Streetlight Fund (1526) operating budget was increased by $3,200 in FY `11/12 in
order to accommodate a routine rate adjustment from Progress Energy scheduled for
January 1, 2012. As a result of this increase, the City's Standard Base Rate obligation
will increase by $.12 for a new total of $13.91 per streetlight. The City is required to
reimburse the base rate of each streetlight in the City's Streetlight Program, on a
quarterly basis, to all qualified NSSLIA participants. The NSSLIA reimbursements are
payable from Streetlight Fund Line Code (1526 - 54312). Progress Energy could make a
request to the FPSC for an additional rate adjustment in August 2012 which may require
staff to seek additional funding for August/September 2012.

(1) Fuel Cost Recovery Factor:
The Fuel Cost Recovery Factors applicable to the Fuel Charge under the Company's various rate schedules are normally determined
annually by the Florida Public Service Commission for the billing months of January through December. These factors are designed to
recover the costs of fuel and purchased power (other than capacity payments) incurred by the Company to provide electric service to its
customers and are adjusted to reflect changes in these costs from one period to the next. Revisions to the Fuel Cost Recovery Factors
within the described period may be determined in the event of a significant change in costs.
(2) Energy Conservation Cost Recovery Factor:
The Energy Conservation Cost Recovery (ECCR) Factor applicable to the Energy Charge under the Company's various rate schedules
is normally determined annually by the Florida Public Service Commission for twelve-month periods beginning with the billing month of
January. This factor is designed to recover the costs incurred by the Company under its approved Energy Conservation Programs and
is adjusted to reflect changes in these costs from one period to the next. For time of use demand rates the ECCR charge will be
included in the base demand only.
