The Administrator and Public Works Superintendent consulted with Mountainview Electric to determine an estimate for hydro costs for three 100 watt lamps. It is estimated that the cost would be between $200 - $300 per year. Enderby in Bloom is expecting however to install 2 lamps with 3 lights per lamp. This would conceivably increase the hydro costs to $400 - $600 per year. Hydro has not yet provided a more accurate estimate.
Discussions occurred as to the amount of funding that the City has already contributed to Enderby in Bloom. Will the garden eventually become the City’s responsibility to maintain in years to come? There was concern about approving a request that does not have a more accurate cost attached.
It was noted that the City has not installed lighting in other parks. The Cenotaph was cited as a park that was denied lighting due to cost.
Moved by Councillor Brookes, seconded by Councillor Vetter that the request to provide payment of hydro to the Cornerstone Garden be denied.
Defeated
