Summary
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Councilwoman Vanice Williams requests that the City install LED street lighting to protect their properties and provide nighttime safety. This resolution proposes to install six (6) streetlights to better illuminate the area.
The total annual cost for the operation and maintenance of the lighting is $834.30 of which the City's share is $36.64. Additionally, there is a one-time installation cost of $5,500.00 to be paid from the Special Assessment Services Fund. NOW, THEREFORE,
Be it resolved by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That it is necessary to improve the following lots and lands by installing street lighting, as described below.
A. The alley bounded by Columbia St., Ashland Ave., Fulton St. & W. Bancroft St., by installing six (6) 90-watt, LED cobra-style streetlights on wood poles with overhead service.
SECTION 2. That the plans, specifications, and cost estimates for this proposed improvement, which are on file in the Division of Engineering and Construction Management, are approved.
SECTION 3. That the lots and lands identified in Section 1 are specifically benefited by said improvement and each shall be assessed at a rate per assessed front footage.
A. All lots and lands bounding and abutting the alley between Columbia St., Ashland Ave., Fulton St. & W. Bancroft St., shall be assessed at the rate of ($0.832) per assessed front foot, an increase of ($0.512) per assessed front foot.
SECTION 4. That the costs related to the improvement shall be levied and assessed annually in accordance with the Assessing Ordinance hereafter to be passed by City Council, and said assessments shall be certified to the County Auditor to be placed upon the tax duplicate and collected as other taxes.
SECTION 5. That the remainder of the cost and expense of said improvement not specially assessed together with damages, if any, awarded to the owner or owners of adjoining lands with interest thereon, and the costs and expenses of any such award shall be paid by a levy upon the general tax list made by the city for such purpose in the manner provided by law.
SECTION 6. That notice of the adoption of this Resolution shall be by publication in the Toledo City Journal in the manner provided by law.
SECTION 7. That this Resolution is declared to be an emergency measure and shall be in force and effect from and after its passage.
