Installation of two Xcel Energy Street lights south of the existing city hall parking lot. Standard installation would be wooden utility poles with 400 watt lights and new wiring. A Ten Dollar application fee is required and then monthly fees to pay for the installation and service. Discussion with Xcel Energy included the requirement that the lights have full cut off shielding and that the electric feed would be underground. They quoted the current prices as $19 per month for the light, $7 monthly for the pole and $3 per month for the wiring for each light. I was surprised there was not a surcharge for underground feed. For budgeting I would bump up the current quote by 10% and estimate $780 per year for added Utility payment for the city hall lights. Though total electric usage for the security lights should be minimal, between the lease payments of $780 and added use at the park buildings (?$10/month) I would suggest our estimate be $900 for added utility costs. We inflated electric costs in the budget by 6% on electric for increases from 2007 to 2008 so I would propose $950 be added to electric costs for budget projections in 2008. Park Budget Yearly Increase for Utilities -- Electric $950 The increase in utility costs would be ongoing. We will not propose any movement on the city hall lighting until final building decisions are made. B. Security Lights and Vandalism Protection at Park Buildings Installation of power to existing pole at Cover Park $500 Installation of Halogen Flood Light at Cover Park $500 Installation of Halogen Flood Light at Brekke Park $500 Installation of Halogen Flood Light at Valley View Park $500 Installation of Halogen Flood Light at Autumn Hills Park $500 TOTAL Building Improvement Estimate $2500 TREE CITY U.S.A. Requirements: Flood lights shall be placed under the shelter areas at each building except Cover. Lights shall be recessed in to the light housing and directed downward to limit lighted illumination within the sheltered and covered areas of the picnic pavilions. Cover Park shall have the light mounted on the existing wooden pole with the rink flood lights and shall be directed at the North East Side of the building. The light housing shall be directed down to provide cut off of direct illumination prior to the exit of the property on the south. Timers shall be installed to limit operation of these security lights to operate during hours the parks are closed (after 10PM). Neighbors shall be notified that tripping of the security lights would be ground to notify the police that there are intruders in the park after closing and it might be worth checking for vandalism. The lighting at the Park Buildings is specifically for security of City of Oak Park Heights buildings and as such is exempt from the lighting ordinance on full cut off lighting though we will attempt to comply with all the requirements for full cut off to avoid any controversy. Our goal is to have a deterrent for late night vandalism by Illuminating anyone trespassing in the park building after hours and alerting the neighbors of such intrusion. The building improvements at Park Buildings would be a one time installation for budget year 2008 only. The operational costs of utilities would be recurring each year. Reference and Background Note: Our requirements for design, placement and aiming of the lights at the parks and city hall should allow these installations to meet all relevant ordinance requirements. The lighting at the south end of the City Hall Parking Lot may require a conditional use permit if the lighting is not limited on hours of use. The Following Requirements were reviewed and are included for reference: 401.15.E General Building and Performance Standards ...... 15-4 Outdoor Lighting......................................................... 15-7 7. Outdoor Lighting. a. Purpose. It is the purpose of this Ordinance section to encourage the use of lighting systems that will reduce light pollution and promote energy conservation while increasing night time safety, utility, security and productivity. b. Exemptions.

Intensity. No light source or combination thereof which cast light on a public street shall exceed one (1) foot candle meter reading as measured from the centerline of said street nor shall any light source or combination thereof which cast light on adjacent property exceed four - tenths (0.4) foot candles as measured at the property line, per the method outlined in Section 401 A 5. B.7. e. f. Performance Standards, 1) Residential/Open Space District Standards. In all residential/open space districts, any lighting used to illuminate an off-street parking area, structure, or area shall be arranged as to deflect light away from any adjoining residential property or from any public right-of-way in accordance with the following provisions: a) The light source shall be hooded or controlled so as not to light adjacent property in excess of the maximum intensity defined in Section 401.15.B.7.d. b) Bare light bulbs shall not be permitted in view of adjacent property or public right-of-way, unless part of a permanent fixture. 11 2) Publicllnstitutional, Commercial and Industrial Districts.
