Discussion was held regarding the funding of exterior lighting upgrades in certain
parking lots and alleyways located within the BIA boundary. Senior Economic
Development Officer Arndt put forth, for the Committee's consideration, that
luminaries located on PSE-owned utility poles could be upgraded from high
pressure sodium luminaries to LEDs, providing more illumination for increased
safety and security. The upgrades could take place on ten utility poles located in
the B and D Street parking lots as well as the east/west alleyways between
Auburn Ave and D Street SE. Cost for the upgrade would be $5,497.32, and work
would begin in mid-January.
Committee Member Klontz moved and Member Jones second to approve the
funding of an exterior lighting upgrade to ten utility poles located within the BIA,
