Memorandum
Attached is a resolution for your approval for the purchase of eighty-one (81) street light poles for installation in the downtown area along Main Street between Huron and William. The Downtown Development Authority and the City are partnering to replace the existing street lights along Main Street, which are rusting at the base creating a safety issue.
Total estimated costs for the project total $580,000.00. The Downtown Development Authority is contributing $300,000.00 toward the project costs and the City will contribute the remaining $280,000.00, which includes city labor, city equipment, and material costs. The details of the funding split were not complete during FY14 budget preparation; therefore, the appropriation from the General Fund is necessary to fund the City’s contribution.
