Council asks staff to study street lights for church, discusses Scott Street dumping and cameras
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to evaluate installing two street lights requested by Live Oak Church of God and discussed renewed illegal dumping and road-condition complaints on Scott Street; staff said camera monitoring is being pursued and will analyze right-of-way and costs.
Council member Jeff asked the City of Live Oak council on March 10 to authorize staff to study a public-safety request from Live Oak Church of God for two street lights in the church parking area.
"His congregation is getting is is older," the council member said in introducing the request, noting that later-afternoon services make lighting important for safety. He said the pastor and congregation would mark proposed light locations for staff review. The council asked the city manager, Mr. Sessions, to check whether the proposed locations are on public right-of-way and to return with cost and feasibility estimates; council members voiced consensus and recorded support in roll-call comments.
The council also discussed recurring complaints about the condition of Scott Street and recent illegal dumping in that area. Staff reported they are "working on putting cameras up" to help monitor and deter dumping; officials said they are also examining repair options for roadway segments that have deteriorated. Council asked staff to proceed with those steps and to report back.
No ordinances or street-light installations were approved at the meeting; the action recorded was direction for staff to study the requests and return with recommendations and cost estimates. Multiple attendees had reserved public comment for related annexation and ordinance items scheduled elsewhere on the agenda; those matters were not decided at this meeting.
The council approved the meeting agenda and the February 10 meeting minutes earlier in the session before moving to public comment and the items above.
