REQUEST FOR COUNTY TO ASSUME STREET LIGHTING AT 43RD AVENUE <br />AND 13TH PLACE <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 4/3/85: <br />TO: The Honorable Members DATE: April 3, 1985 FILE: <br />of the Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH <br />Michael Wright, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: Public Works1DDirector V REFERENCES: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Request for County to <br />Assume Street Lighting at <br />43rd Avenue and <br />13th Place <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The City of Vero Beach has discontinued certain street light <br />agreements with subdivisions previously paying for lights. The <br />street light at the entrance of Idlewild Subdivision (13th <br />Place) west of 43rd Avenue is one such light that was <br />discontinued. The Idlewild Property Owners Association is <br />petitioning the County to assume this street light <br />responsibility(petition attached) <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The County Traffic Engineering staff has recently completed a <br />complete study of all street lights on County collector roads, <br />including those -in Street Light Districts, to determine if the <br />lights warrant County funding. A report on this study will be <br />presented to the Transportation Planning Committee in May, <br />1985. <br />The Subject light was also evaluated. Based upon the Board's <br />approved street light criteria, this location received a score <br />of 39.9 points, which is below the 56.3 points to warrant <br />County consideration for funding. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that this light, if it is to be continued, be <br />funded by a source other than County funds. A prepayment <br />arrangement has been proposed for similar such cases, and the <br />Property Owners Assoc. would arrange with the Office of <br />Management and Budget to prepay one years cost. <br />68 <br />APR 10 1985 <br />BOOK 60 FE 499 <br />
