I City of New Brighton October 25, 1983 Page Four The City Engineer reviewed t~e staff report regarding renovation of the downtown street lighting system. Consideration of Renovation of Downtown Street Lighting-Report #83-274 Councilmember Schmidt requested input from the Director of Community Development as to which type of lights he felt would fit in with the downtown development. He further stated that if the City went ahead with the proposal at this time energy savings would be immediate and the cost of the lights would be reimbursed to the City later through tax increment when development occurred. The Director of Community Development stated that Councilmember Schmidt's comments were correct and that he would probably choose the decorative or I.T.T. lights.

The City Engineer responded that that many lights probably could not be used elsewhere in the City later. Motion by Benke, seconded by Janecek to: 1. Authorize the purchase and installation of 35 150 watt H.P.S. luminaires, G.E. M-250R at $80 each. 2.
