Prescott City Council Regular Voting Meeting—August 29,2006 Page 4 Mayor Simmons presented Item D for consideration: D. Authorize issuance of purchase order to Mohave Educational Services Cooperative in the amount of$189,809.37 for construction of sidewalk enhancements along the north side of Goodwin Street between McCormick Street and Summit Avenue Councilman Luzius asked the following questions: • Where did the money come from to pay for the 8 decorative lamps at $200 each and the$10,000 for the installation,for a total of$26,000? • Mr. Nietupski responded the funds would come from the 1% Sales Tax. • There was no decorative lighting between Granite and McCormick Street,why put them between McCormick Street and Summit Street? • Mr. Nietupski replied this was an extension of the downtown enhancement project and McCormick Street and Goodwin Street would be addressed in the future. • Why not consider the lighting as off-site improvements instead? • Mr. Nietupski said the lights were put in by the City in past years and the City would pay for these as a continuation of the downtown project. Councilman Lamerson asked if there was a benefit to putting in the decorative lights versus regular street lights and asked if they cost extra. Mr. Nietupski responded it was a priority of a previous Council to put in decorative street lights in the downtown area and lights would have to be put along there anyway. The City would have to pay APS to put in an intersection light that could cost$3,000 on its own.
