Background: The City became aware over the last year that the monthly rental fee being charged to the City in Florida Power & Light (FPL) agreements includes the initial cost of fixtures and installation broken up over years as FPL does not charge for installation. The City in turn also learned that the developer obligated roadway extensions were not being required to fund the street lighting fixtures and installation. After negotiations with FPL and Mattamy, we were able to work with Mattamy to get a cost estimate of what the furnish and install price for street lighting would have been for this portion of roadway.
Issues/Analysis: The monthly cost to the City for FPL Street Lighting can change over the years due to a change to the Lighting Tariff controlled by the Florida Public Service Commission. A long term analysis does show the financial benefit to utilizing FPL Street Lighting versus City owned and maintained lighting systems.
Financial Information: The City shall receive $239,200.40 from Mattamy as a reimbursement of the material and installation cost of the street lighting, to be placed in a financial fund to pay future payments and costs associated with FPL Lighting Agreements and for general City street lighting needs.
