    [00:02:05] No, thank you. [00:02:07] Councilman Starkey. [00:02:08] I have no comment. [00:02:09] Thank you. [00:02:10] I'm glad we're doing this, because I [00:02:11] think it's an integral part of why we haven't [00:02:14] had those flooding problems that some of the areas [00:02:17] around the city have had. [00:02:19] There's no further discussion. [00:02:20] All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. [00:02:22] Aye. [00:02:23] Opposed, like sign. [00:02:25] Next item is a public hearing on the annual street lighting [00:02:28] assessment. [00:02:28] Ms. Manns. [00:02:30] Mr. Mayor, the purpose of this public hearing [00:02:33] is to elicit public comment on the streetlight assessment [00:02:36] fee, which in this fiscal year is $371,899. [00:02:44] And additionally, to adopt resolution number 2016-28, [00:02:49] which approves the assessment and allows for certification [00:02:52] of Pasco County. [00:02:54] Very good. [00:02:54] Ask the city attorney to please read the resolution. [00:03:00] Resolution number 2016-28, a resolution [00:03:03] of the City Council of New Port Richey, Florida, [00:03:05] approving the fiscal year 2016-17 non-anvil arm [00:03:08] assessment role for street lighting services, [00:03:11] directing certification of the assessment role [00:03:13] to the Pasco County tax collector, [00:03:15] and provide an effective date. [00:03:17] This is a public hearing. [00:03:18] Opened up for public comment. [00:03:21] Seeing no one come forward, I bring it back to council. [00:03:24] Move for approval. [00:03:26] Second. [00:03:26] To the maker. [00:03:27] No, sir. [00:03:28] To the second. [00:03:30] These funds were obviously used for the streetlight transition. [00:03:32] Someone asked me that the other day. [00:03:34] Like, would we have been able to afford this, [00:03:36] changing out all the streetlights [00:03:37] like we did without this assessment? [00:03:39] No, sir. [00:03:40] I didn't think so. [00:03:41] That's what I told them, but I wasn't harm's insurance. [00:03:43] Right, the capital investment was [00:03:45] incurred by the energy company, but the rate [00:03:49] charge for each one of the fixtures was higher. [00:03:52] And so the taking and doing this assessment put us at 100% [00:03:57] and gave us a little bit of leeway [00:03:58] to be able to have something to be [00:04:00] able to add new lights into our infrastructure [00:04:03] and be able to afford the LED lighting. [00:04:05] Thank you.
