FI CAL IMPACT:
Th difference in annual cost for operating the new street lights
is as follows:
Pr posed street lig hts, 6 lights x $11.67 per month = $70.02
Existing street lights on utility poles -
2 lights x $13.19 per month = 26.38
$43.64
$43.64 per month x I2 = $523.68 per year. However, this is for
si~C versus two street lights.
