NAVARRE STREET LIGHT UPDATE <br /> <br />Struve noted back in May of 2012, Spring Park had experienced a failure of one of their street light poles <br />and have elected to move forward with replacement of those poles. <br /> <br />At the July 23, 2012, City Council meeting, Spring Park’s streetlight study was presented and the Council <br />discussed potential grant opportunities. At the November 26, 2012, the City Council was informed that <br />Orono was not eligible for a Hennepin County grant. Three options were presented at that time for <br />various pole/lighting options as well as the costs associated with each option. <br /> <br />Struve noted the Spring Park quote is higher than the costs outlined in their study. Since this is a quote <br />and not a competitive bid, it is probable the cost will come down during the competitive bidding process. <br />Spring Park is planning on including all three pole options in the competitive bidding process to get a <br />finite number before a decision is made. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 01/28/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 01/14/2013 <br />[Page 2 of 16]
