Staff Presentation: Permitting & Construction Manager Marty Pawlikowski gave a brief overview of Resolution 15 -2772, explaining that it was the City's annual street light resolution. He further explained that the rate of $31.88 per equivalent residential unit (ERU) had not changed from the previous year assessed, and staff felt this was due in part to the conversion to LED streetlights, and that the cost based on what Duke Energy had presented to them would be exactly the same as the previous year. He added that without a full year of invoicing from Duke Energy with the new LED lights, staff felt it would not be appropriate to raise the rate for FY 2015 -2016.
