City staff proposes 20% streetlight fee increase to cover maintenance
Summary
Staff proposed raising residential streetlight fees from $2.50 to $3.00 per month and commercial from $3.75 to $4.50 to better offset maintenance and replacement costs.
Staff proposed a 20% increase to the streetlight utility fee to help cover maintenance and replacement of signals and street lights.
"So right now, it's currently $2.50 for residential properties and $3.75 a month for commercial properties. That would go to $3 and $4.50," staff said, explaining the 20% adjustment and saying the change would better align fees with costs.
Commissioners asked for details on how increased revenues would be tracked and whether the fee change would be phased in; staff said the proposal appears in the working packet as a revenue strategy to reduce the general-fund subsidy for street lighting.
