At that time, the following questions were presented: 1) Commissioner Fletcher had questions about the cost and efficiency of the new lights. 2) Attorney Collins questioned the applicability of the agreement to cover the Laureli•,-ood and Rockridge Street Lighting District. ALTEP ATIVES AND ANALYSIS In discussing these items with Dir. H.R. Reiner of FPL, he states that the intent of the agreement is to form one contract with the County binding FPL to a governmental body such as a County or City. Mr. Reiner claims that FPL is not permitted to form these contracts with street lighting districts. At the advice of the County Attorney and as agreed by Mr. Reiner of FPL, if the agreement is executed between "Indian River County on behalf of itself and the effected Municipal Service Street Light Districts" and FPL, this matter -can be resolved. The Direct Cost savings. to the County and Laurelwood Street Lighting District is: North Countv Savings South County Savings Laurelwood Savings Total Savings _ $912.00 per year .363.448 per year 266.40 Per year $15.11.88 per year One agreement will serve all areas as proposed. The Rockridge District is serviced by the.City of Vero -Beach and does not apply. Mr. Reiner also requests that-"F-Yhibit D" (Replacement Proposal) be revised to delete the word "cut-off" beneath the Proposed Replacement (lumens - type) column to allow the flexibility of using new products now on the market that are superior to the "cut-off" lunimaire. The alternatives considered are as follows: Alternative # 1 Approve the Chairman executing the agreement between "Indian River County -on behalf of itself and the effected Municipal Service Street LiRt Districts". The impact approvin, this alternative would have includes a� savings of $1,215.48 per Near for the County and $266.40 per year for the Laurelwood Street Lighting District. The Rockridge Street Lighting District is serviced by the City of Fero Beach, not FPL.
