Summary

A committee moved to forward a resolution asking City Water and Light to provide free utilities for listed traffic-signal locations, including 1506 N. Church Street for a HAWK signal; the chair noted that Mr. Street would like to be recused because of his position on the City Water and Light Board of Directors.

The Community Committee voted to forward to full council a resolution asking City Water and Light to provide utility service at specified traffic-signal locations and to permit those services be provided without charge.

Speaker 1 read the resolution, which requested free utilities at locations listed in the resolution and stated that the ultimate use of those utilities is part of the city's governmental or proprietary functions under state law. The resolution identified a location read on the record as "15 oh 6 north Church Street" for a HAWK signal; the agenda item and transcript wording were interpreted as 1506 N. Church Street.

A committee member moved to forward the resolution to full council and another member seconded. The chair noted that Mr. Street would like to be recused from voting because of his position on the City Water and Light Board of Directors. The committee was asked to record its vote; the committee transcript did not include final tallies in this record.

The matter will appear on the full council agenda for final consideration; if approved by the council, City Water and Light and city staff will complete any implementation steps needed to permit and provide the services.
