At the conclusion of the agenda, Public Works Director Jim Robinson made a presentation on new streetlight technology.  Conversion to LED technology is becoming more cost-feasible as the cost of the LED fixtures falls.  LED lights are considerably more expensive to install than the typical high pressure sodium lamps, but the cost savings in electricity, lamp life and maintenance are much better.  Mr. Robinson suggested starting with a pilot program to change over to LED lamps in test areas to see the quality of the light and to gauge the energy savings with several different lamps.

 

The administration proposed to make a presentation at next week’s special Finance Committee meeting (on Supervisor of Elections’ operations center) regarding the Bank of America incentive project. The committee preferred to schedule a separate meeting for that purpose.

 

Council Member Anderson thanked Chairman Crescimbeni for a great year of committee leadership.
