Burg-I contacted a few companies that I got off the Internet. Two (2) returned my phone |
call. Of the two, one didn't have powerful enough lights. The other had a powerful |
enough light and cost $4500 per installation. $235,000 would include replacement |
batteries which last about 5 yrs. Keith Surges got the cost for ComEd lights, $91,000. |
With ComEd you would have to continue paying the same rates. It would be a payback |
of about 13 years if you do the solar lights. You also have to account for knockdowns, |
we don't always catch the person. Dratnol-You also have to keep in mind that when we |
light a neighborhood, it's about $3500-$4000 per light. Sebby-I can understand not |
using them in large areas, what about using them like on the Prairie Path? Dratnol-I |
don't see using them in a developed urban area like this. The solar panels are very |
unsightly. They're good in isolated rural areas. An area like the Prairie path where you |
don't have the visibility, they can be a target for vandalism. Sebby-The ComEd lighting, |
does the 49 lights include extra lighting for Schafer school? Rickard-It's just the |
intersections. Sebby-$20,000 a year doesn't sound too terrible. |
Rickard-Eventually we would want to come in with our own lights. Sebby-Would the |
wire come from the backyard easement? Rickard-There would be some. There is |
some underground there. |
It was moved by Kaforski, seconded by Mahal, to recommend approval to the |
Board of Trustees installation of additional ComEd lighting. The motion carried |
by the following vote: |
Aye:
Kaforski, Arnold, Blakeslee and Mahal
