DESCRIPTION: This was the third year of a proposed four-year project to replace
the old painted steel street light poles in subdivisions that were constructed in the 1960's. These
ungalvanized poles have deteriorated over time, and many are corroded to the point of needing
replacement. The City incurs some liability exposure from the condition of these poles, and it was
recommended in the 2002-2003 Capital Improvement Program to begin replacing all of the older poles.
The project was originally programmed as a six -year project, but was changed to a four-year project in
2004-2005 when the condition assessment was updated and it became apparent that the poles were
deteriorating faster than originally believed. The fourth and final phase of the project is proposed to be
completed in 2005-2006.
This third -phase project replaced 154 poles. The new poles installed are galvanized steel, which has an
estimated life span of 60 years or more. The galvanized poles will also reduce ongoing maintenance costs
by eliminating the need to paint the poles every five years.
