Council asks engineer for streetlight alternatives as Congressman secures $500,000 for Brundage project
Summary
Council directed the City Engineer to study alternatives to acorn-style lights for Eagle Meadows and feasibility of city ownership; Mayor Hernandez said Congressman Jim Costa secured $500,000 for the Brundage Street Light Project.
The Farmersville City Council directed City Engineer Jason Watts to return with additional information on alternatives to acorn-style street lighting for the Eagle Meadows subdivision, including decorative solar-powered fixtures and an analysis of whether the city could own and maintain the systems.
Mayor Tina Hernandez also told the council that "Congressman Jim Costa secured $500,000 in funding for the Brundage Street Light Project." Public Works Director Steven Thompson said he has received a streetlight analysis and will provide an update after review. The council did not adopt a final style or a funding plan at this meeting; staff were asked to report back with options and cost information.
Separately, the council’s earlier directions about pursuing grant funding and engaging engineering review set the path for staff to evaluate capital and maintenance trade-offs for different lighting technologies.
