2019 AGENDA ITEM
Committee of the Whole Meeting date: December 17th, 2019
Council Meeting date: January 7th, 2020
ITEM: Additional Street Lights on Hibbard
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT MATTER:
Issue
Through the Hibbard St. reconstruction project the Street Light committee met to review current
street lights and any need for additional.
*Update- Memo edited to correct directional location of lights. East & West locations were
flipped around on COW memo.
Background
Columbus Water & Light made recommendation that street lights be considered at each
intersection of Hibbard St. to be in uniform with the rest of the City. The Street Light committee
reviewed the recommendation and made the recommendation to move forward with 5 of the 6
street lights that were brought forward by Columbus Water & Light. These lights will not only be
uniform with the rest of the City but also add a safety factor to intersections along Hibbard
street.
Fiscal Impact
The 5 additional lights will have no initial installation costs to the City. They are lights that were
taken off of James street and can be repurposed on Hibbard St. and the lighting will match the
current lights on Hibbard st.. There is a monthly cost for every street light in the City and the
cost for 5 additional street lights is $800 per year or approximately $13.33 per month per pole.
This covers the investment charge and usage.
Recommendation
The Street Light Committee is recommending that these five new Street Lights be installed on
Hibbard Street;
- Intersection of Narrow St. & Hibbard (Eastt side of street)
- Intersection of Sunset & Hibbard (East side of street)
- Intersection of Chapin & Hibbard (East side of street)
- Intersection of Turner & Hibbard (West side of street)
- Intersection of Brevity & Hibbard (East side of street)
LIST ALL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION ATTACHED:
- Hibbard Street Light Pole diagram
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL: Review the recommendation as submitted.
