The Council discussed the rate change and Mayor Reiman stated that the changeover will cost the City approximately $7000.00 more per year. Mr. Erik Spencer from Public Service stated that the City had not been paying for anything but the power on these lights and had, therefore not paid as much as the City does for all other street lights. Mr. Bill Ensign, O'Bara Court, stated he felt that the City was getting a bargain even at $9.03 per light per month when the power companies maintained the equipment.
