FARMINGTON -- Oops! A 15-year glitch in who pays for 10 streetlights in this community has been fixed.

In action taken recently, city leaders approved a sale agreement to purchase 10 additional street lights from Rocky Mountain Power for $2,090. The county has been paying for the 10 streetlights for the past 15 years, due to confusion in the ownership issue, according to City Manager Dave Millheim.

SOUTH OGDEN -- The city is in the process of replacing all 470 street lights with more efficient, energy saving lighting. City manager, Matthew Dixon, said all current street lights will be retrofitted with higher quality lighting that will save hundreds of dollars in operation fees. Savings from the new system will be used to pay for the installation of the lights over the next nine years. The project is expected to be completed by the end of June.

NORTH OGDEN -- The city is considering the addition of several street lights in neighborhoods after residents have been approaching the city council about dark streets.

City policy states that street lights should be every 600 feet at city intersections and some neighborhoods are not abiding by that policy.

Mayor Richard Harris said the city will closely examine and start working toward making that change.

“I think we should at least meet our minimum standard,” Harris said.

City Councilman Wade Bigler asked that the council discuss where the street lights should be put at the meeting scheduled for May 8.

City leaders have approved the purchase of all the Rocky Mountain Power-owned street lights within city limits for $157,686. The move is expected to help save costs in the future.
