i <br />Elk River ^-~ <br />Municipal Utilities <br />13069 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />June 4, 2007 <br />To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission <br />Jerry Takle <br />Jerry Gumphrey <br />Jim Tralle <br />From: Bryan Adams <br />Subject: Decorative Street Light Replacement Costs <br />phone: 763.441.2020 <br />Fax~.163.441.8099 <br />The City has started a street rehabilitation program approximately four years ago. These projects <br />often effect the water department if we need to replace water mains. The electric department is <br />also affected if we need to relocate the electric distribution system or street light system. The <br />subject of this memo is street light system upgrade. The question is in street rehabilitation <br />projects where street lighting already exists, who should pay to have street lighting system <br />upgraded to decorative poles instead of wood utility poles. <br />This subject was asked a number of months ago to this commission. City and utility staff was <br />directed to draft an acceptable payment policy. Attached is a proposed policy that staff <br />recommends. For reference, the cost to upgrade to a decorative pole is in the $800 to $1000 per <br />pole range. <br />
