Council approves $51,000 streetlight LED conversion; project expected to pay back in about three years
Summary
The council authorized funding and an agreement with Rocky Mountain Power to convert all city streetlights to LED at a one‑time cost of $51,000; staff estimated roughly $17,000 in annual savings and a 17‑year service life for the fixtures.
Finance Director Shari' Garrett presented a cost‑analysis for converting city streetlights served by Rocky Mountain Power to LED fixtures. Garrett said the project would require a one‑time city expenditure of $51,000, that RMP will need about ten weeks to order fixtures and one week to install them, and that the city can expect approximately $17,000 in annual energy savings for an estimated service life of 17 years. Council Member Cheryl Parkinson noted the initial investment would be repaid in roughly three years; the council voted unanimously (5–0) to approve the funding and agreement.
Staff said future budgets will reflect the anticipated power‑cost savings. The motion to approve funding and the agreement was made by Council Member Jeff West and seconded by Council Member Anna Davidson.
