New Lighting Contract Promises Lower City Rates
City considers a five year lighting contract based on a moonlight schedule with 300 watt lamps at $48 annually, 250 candlepower units at $39, and 150 watt street and gas lamps at $24 annually. A meters-for-reduction proposal offers a half discount if meters are installed, potentially adding about 240 more lights without increasing total cost.
