HomeMy WebLinkAbout0004_1_Streetlight Procedures Ordinance - SRREPORT TO PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMISSION
TO:Honorable Chairman and Members of the Public Safety Advisory Commission
FROM:Farid Dost, Senior Civil Engineer
DATE:May 17, 2017
SUBJECT:Streetlight Ordinance & Procedures
Recommendation
Receive and file.
Background and Discussion
On January 24, 2017, the City Council approved the Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) for the
acquisition of all the sellable streetlights from Southern California Edison (SCE) in order to control
and reduce cost for energy consumption, operation and maintenance of the streetlights.
With the City Council approval of the PSA, all new streetlights will be transferred to the City of Lake
Elsinore for ownership, operation and maintenance. Currently, the City does not have an ordinance
for the streetlights. The attached Exhibit A is a draft version of the ordinance that explains and
provides the purpose, policy, financial responsibility and the process on how any entity can request
for streetlights. This ordinance will streamline the process for both the City staff and the public on
the requirements and responsibilities needed for requesting streetlights.
This draft version will be further updated with the development of the Design Criteria and Standards
for the City. Once the design criteria and standards are near completion, the City will bring the
package back to PSAC for approval and recommendation to the City Council for approval and
adoption.
Fiscal Impact
None other than staff time.
