Oversight on Street Lighting that was not on the program, I'm asking the council to make a change, The alley behind Billy's Tavern on Elm Street to Crawford's carpet, there was a ligh.t at each one of these locations, about mid way in the block and we removed both of them under that program. Pete Pohlman and I talked about reinstalling one of those lights on VanBuren Court on an existing pole, that would take care of both of these alleys, We removed 175 watt vapor ligh~s, we would like to put back up 1-100 so.dium vapor ligh~, This does meet`the criteria of the lighting policy. The new light cost $4.74 a month, and the old light cost $4.00 a month, Motion by Alderman Workman, second by Alderma.n May, that one sodium ~ vapor street light be reinstalled as stated, and a resolution requesting ~ this street light be presented by ~Che CIPS to the Ci~y Council. Voice N vote, motion carried. (Al1 Ayes), W Cliff inet with the citizens in the Evergreen Estates area, At that ~ meeting he explained the various ways the ci:ty would be fixing the sewer Q problem and what had been approved, The mayor and Cliff talked about a alterna~ing way of repairing that sewer, and that is by inserting a steel sleeve inside this pipe. It will cost about as half as much as already approved. However, all the members of that Board, which includes all of the people owning property in Evergreen Estates, voted not to have any construction work done until the lst of December, - COMMUNICATIONS FROM DAVE DORGAN - COMMUNTTY DEVELOPMENT DIRE CTOR AND BUDGET ADMINISTRATOR, In consul.tation with the bond consultant and the city attorney, we are targeting December 17th for the sale of bonds for the Sewer & Water Project. Alderman Falcone asked if that allowed the banks to participate in the purchase of those bonds before January lst when the tax laws change? Dave Dorgan said the bond rating would cost around $2,000. We would not get a'A' rating under the economics of the region, so we thought we would probably have a'B' rating. Dave said that one of the reasons of December 17th being the date the bonds would be so1d, is to sell be- fore the tax law change. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Finance. Council Action None.
