Wayne and Renee Morgan, identified in the meeting as residents, asked the Florence City Council to install a street light near Well 2, saying the area "is very dark" and reporting squatters and instances of doors being kicked in by children.
Mayor Ben Daniel asked city staff to investigate the costs of installing a street light and to add the matter to the council's next agenda for formal consideration. The request came early in the Oct. 14 meeting during the opening and public comment period.
City Administrator Tamela Louvier and other staff were present and will be responsible for returning cost estimates and necessary details to the council.
