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 />i Look into pension and PARS update on where we are in Santa Ana.
