o:sa CONVERSION OF CITY STREET LIGHTS TO LIGHT EMITTING DIODE (LED)
TECHNOLOGY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PGE City Administrator Derickson provided
a staff report. Councilor Cox stated that there are too many unanswered questions and he
would like to pass a motion approving it in principle and directing the City Administrator to
come back to Council with further details as they become available. Councilor Morris stated
that he is in favor of it and believes we should just get it done. Councilor McCallum stated
that he is also in favor of this with the proviso that if something red flags we can get out of it
and that he trusts our legal department, our City Administrator and public works people to
make that decision. Councilor Lonergan stated that he is in favor of option 1 and would like to
move forward but he agrees with Councilor Cox that if PGE is doing this in other cities there
should be agreements already out there and it shouldn't be hard for us to come to an agreement
and wondered what would happen if we brought this back to Council with an agreement in
four weeks. Public Works Director Brown answered that the City would lose the Oregon
Energy Trust grant. Mayor Figley stated that she is in favor of moving ahead.
