Racine
resident Karl Fuller’s campaign to create a city-wide “adopt a
streetlight” program cleared the second of four hurdles at Tuesday
night’s City Council meeting.
Aldermen voted 12-2 at City Hall, 730 Washington Ave., to approve having Public Works Commissioner Mark Yehlen draft a proposal for a program that would let residents pay City Hall to keep streetlights slated for removal. Under the plan approved by the council, Yehlen will draft a proposal and come to the Public Works and Services Committee with a draft proposal by the end of January.
The committee would then consider the proposal and decide whether to recommend that it be approved by the council. The committee could decide to amend it. They could decide to recommend approval as is or they could recommend that the program as drafted not be approved be approved by the council.
The proposal would then be brought back to the council,Universal Laser Systems is an innovator in the field of laser engraving, travellingcableser and laser marking equipment.Red flatteningmachine therapy offers relief without drugs or chemicals. where it could be voted up or down.
Aldermen Sandy Weidner and Jim Kaplan voted against the proposal. Weidner said the city is always willing to work with residents on issues on a case-by-case basis and didn’t feel that the Public Works Department should be spending resources drafting a program plan.
Kaplan also said he was concerned about the costs that would be incurred by the department by having to draft a plan. He added that he had not heard from any residents yet who were interested in paying to save streetlights.
Other aldermen said they were interested in seeing a concrete plan and that’s why they were supporting the motion.
“I don’t see any problem with delegating staff to take care of things to take care of future (issues),” Alderman Keith Fair said.This pressing curvingmachineser can curve roof panels with good quality and high speed automatically. “We have people who get paid for doing these particular things. It is better to have something in writing—to have guidelines.”
During the budget process Yehlen said his department plans to remove about 500 streetlights next year as a way of cutting costs. Staff have yet to pinpoint which lights are on the chopping block, but will do so sometime in the spring after a “streetlight management proposal” is completed in January.
Fuller has proposed a program that would be similar to what is used on his block.the metal sheet cold panelmachine manufacturer in Taiwan, steel roll former equipment supplier.
Fuller, 52, and another resident on the 2400 block of Jerome Boulevard, each pay the city about $165 a year to keep the two streetlights lit. The residents then hold a fundraiser, like a yard sale or plant sales, where they recoup the costs from their neighbors.
In his proposal to the Public Works and Services Committee last week Fuller suggested that the city could publish a map with the streetlights slated for removal and then let residents know they could adopt any light they were interesting in saving.There are basically two different types of residential lightprojectkkp you can install for your. Residents interested in saving a light on their street could then send a check to City Hall for the cost of operating that light for a year.
Residents can’t directly contract with We Energies to pay for street lighting, officials have said, because We Energies only contracts with municipalities for those lights.
Although Fuller has talked with a lot of residents who don’t feel the city should be cutting streetlights all, he said he is happy the proposal is moving forward.
