It is recommended that the Council approve the 47th Amendment to the Annual Appropriation Resolution No. 2014-95 appropriating $139,400 of funds from CFD 11 assessment revenue balance to the Public Works Department, Capital Management Division to develop a project to replace the existing High Pressure Sodium ("HPS") fixtures with more efficient Light-emitting Diode ("LED") fixtures.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Fresno collects CFD 11 funds to perform street light maintenance in selected tracts, including the power bill, regular routine maintenance and longer-term component replacements. Public Works will utilize these CFD 11 funds to install energy efficient, longer lasting LED fixtures on the existing street lights.
