Mrs. Mueller seconded the motion which carried. <br />PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: <br />COMMENTS FROM COMMON COUNCIL PRESIDENT CONCERNING REPLACEMENT OF <br />MERCURY VAPOR STREET LIGHTS WITH SODIUM VAPOR LIGHTS <br />Mr. Steve Luecke, President, South Bend Common Council, noted that <br />Indiana Michigan Power Company is changing the City's street <br />lights from mercury vapor to sodium vapor. Mr. Luecke stated that <br />it is his understanding that at this time I&M is changing some of <br />the lights in the older neighborhoods. Mr. Luecke asked that the <br />Board request that I&M not change any of the street lights in the <br />older neighborhoods without the City first being able to determine <br />if this new lighting is appropriate in those neighborhoods. He <br />noted that the change to the sodium vapor light, which is a yellow <br />light, gives the appearance of not being brighter. Mr. Luecke <br />informed the Board that he has received complaints from residents <br />of Lindsey Street. Mr. Leszczynski stated that the City will look <br />into this matter. Mr. Leszczynski also stated that the comments <br />he has received have all been compliments and residents indicated <br />that it appears that lighting has been increased and things look <br />brighter. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />There being no further business to _come before the Board, upon a <br />motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mrs. Mueller and <br />carried, the meeting adjourned at 9:58 a.m. <br />BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />Sandra M.
