SUMMARY: The blue decorative streetlights downtown were initially installed with 100W High
Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps, which are a type of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamp. In 2014 the
City began converting the lights from HPS to Light Emitting Diode (LED) for improved energy
efficiency. The conversion consisted of removing the ballast in the fixtures and installing
replacement lamps. The City consulted with a vendor who recommended the replacement lamps to
install. The new LED lamps installed were initially 24W LED (150W HID equivalent), and later
upgraded at the intersections to 35W LED (175W HID equivalent). While the lumen output from the
new lamps exceeds the lumen output from the HPS lamps that were replaced, the amount of light
cast on the roadway was diminished due to the nature of how light from the new lamps reflects off
the existing fixtures. Replacement of the fixtures is necessary to restore lighting to previous levels
and is proposed to be completed over 5-years (78 in 2020, 50/year for 5 years). This initial purchase
of 78 LED fixtures will restore lighting at all pedestrian crossings to levels that exceed the lighting
from the original HPS lamps.

FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The expenditure of $4�1-36$178,016 will be
fI om the Transportation Capital Fund. No budget adjustment is required.
