3. Update on Purchase of SCE-owned LED Streetlights — Presentation {Strategic Plan <br /> No. 6, 1C; 1G} (William Galvez, PWA) <br /> William Galvez, City Engineer, stated that the option to purchase 7,800 streetlights went to <br /> Council. Finance is working on a transition plan, to switch over approximately 1,000 street <br /> lights per month. Currently, 95% of the City is covered by the lighting plan, and we will focus <br /> on which poles need to be knocked down. A total of approximately 4,000 lights will remain <br /> Southern California Edison (SCE) owned. The City plans to continue working on securing <br /> those poles, including placing sensors to capture information data. SCE originally wanted to <br /> bring the purchase back to Council. LED improves visibility, breaking time, and reduced <br /> maintenance costs by almost 1 million dollars per year. Currently we are at a status quo <br /> until we can determine a finance plan. For City's owner light posts, staff will be responsible <br /> for maintenance duties, and will utilize a contractor for any knockdowns. <br /> ITEMS MOVED TO NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING: <br /> None <br /> PUBLIC COMMENTS: <br /> None <br /> COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS <br /> Chair Martinez <br /> • Look into pension and PARS update on where we are in Santa Ana.
