6. MATTERS FROM CITY MANAGER & STAFF
A. Southern California Edison Street Light Acquisition and Conversion Program
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the City Council directed staff to work with
Southern California Edison (SCE) to prepare a valuation for the street lights within
the City. The purpose of the valuation was to consider the potential acquisition
and /or conversion of the street lights by the City.
There are 2,511 street lights in the City. The majority of these street lights are
owned by SCE and most use high pressure sodium, which are not energy efficient
or easy to maintain. The City is eligible to purchase approximately 1,459 of the
street lights from SCE, with the opportunity to retrofit them to LEDs to reduce
energy consumption and maintenance needs. The City currently owns and operates
176 streetlights that are under additional consideration for LED retrofit. The
remaining 876 street lights are not eligible to be purchased by the City because they
are located on high voltage distribution line poles.
Recommendation: That the City Council provides direction regarding the following
options:
1. Status Quo
2. SCE Conversion Program — LED Bulbs
3, SCE Acquisition and LED Conversion
4. Tanko Lighting Acquisition and LED Conversion
7. MATTERS FROM MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL
