Garden Prairie takes first step toward assuming neighborhood streetlights
Summary
The board gave first reading to an ordinance authorizing the city administrator to negotiate an agreement to assume permanent responsibility for certain subdivision streetlights; item discussed in prior work sessions and will return for further consideration.
The Garden Prairie Board of Aldermen gave first reading to Bill 25-60, which would authorize the city administrator to negotiate and execute an agreement with a homeowners association for the city to assume permanent responsibility for specified streetlights in a subdivision.
City counsel said the item had been discussed in prior work sessions and is before the board for first reading. No final contract was executed at the meeting; aldermen acknowledged the ordinance is at first reading and will return for additional consideration or a second reading if the board desires.
The measure was introduced to allow the city to take on maintenance and operational responsibility for streetlights in the named subdivision; staff identified the item as previously vetted and requested direction to proceed with negotiation and execution of the agreement after the appropriate readings.
The board did not take final action at first reading; staff and the city attorney will bring any negotiated agreement and required amendments back to the board for formal approval.
