He urged for consistent lighting throughout the City.
A discussion ensued about the cost of retrofitting the mission bell streetlights. Senior Management Analyst Robinson noted that the initial estimate for the City to retrofit the mission bell lights is upwards of a million dollars. She noted that a meeting will be scheduled with SCE, City Administrator Arrula and herself to discuss alternative options. She noted that 2.3 million will be saved over 20 years in SCE's conversion project.
City Administrator Arrula noted that the Council could proceed with the conversion minus the mission bell lighting or convert completely to the cobra head lighting in SCE's program. He noted the long lead time once the City applies for the program.
A discussion ensued about converting only the residential streetlights and completing the arterial streets at a different time. City Administrator Arrula discussed cost savings and the need to meet with SCE to discuss the project further.
Councilmember Wanke expressed concerns about LED lights on human health and commented on the differences between white and yellow lights. He expressed support for 3,000K throughout the city and noted that he appreciates the shield option available to residents.

Mayor Smith concurred with Mayor Pro Tem Yamaguchi and expressed support for the 3,000K/4,000K option. He reiterated the importance of lighting for safety and crime prevention.
In response to a question by Mayor Pro Tem Yamaguchi about residential and arterial streets that intersect, Deputy City Administrator Estevez explained that lighting would be based on street type.
Motion by Wanke, seconded by Shader and carried a (2-3 Kirwin, Smith, Yamaguchi voted no) vote to proceed with 3,000K lights for both arterial and residential streets excluding the mission bell lights until a plan for replacement of the mission bell lighting can be developed. Said motion failed.
Councilmember Kirwin expressed concerns about unknown costs to the City for the retrofit of the mission bell lights.
City Administrator Arrula stated that Staff, after meeting with SCE, will come back with a plan for the mission bell lighting. He emphasized the savings of 2.3 million over 20 years noting that SCE is advancing all the capital costs for this project. He added that SCE has agreed to replace the mission bells lights as they burn out.
Councilmember Kirwin urged for consistent lighting stating that replacing the mission bell lighting as they burn out would create inconsistent lighting.
Motion by Yamaguchi, seconded by Smith and carried a (2-3 Kirwin, Shader, Wanke voted no) vote to proceed with 4,000K lights for arterial streets and 3,000K lights for residential streets excluding the mission bells lights until there is a plan to convert them all to LED at a separate date.
