This ordinance transfers $45,000 from the Future Planning category
in the Community Development Grant into an account permitting it to
be used for various improvements within the Department of Public
Works.
Two projects are specifically identified at this time. These both
pertain to the Western Avenue viaduct. It is proposed to install
lights at a capital improvement cost of $14,375. This will result
in an annual electric bill of $1,380. If these lights were installed
in our normal program, where they would be owned by Indiana & Michigan
Electric Company, the annual billing would be $2,495.04 per year at
the present rate. Under the proposed program these lights would be
city owned. The installation of these lights is considered an exception
to the present program .which places a moratorium on all additional
lighting. This exception is recommended for your consideration on the
basis that this is an area improvement and will contribute significantly
to the development of a large area on the west side within the influ-
enced corridor of Western Avenue. Because of the financial restrictions
it is felt that the moratorium policy on lights can not, as a general
policy, be changed.
Approximately $600 is identified for painting this viaduct. It is
proposed to delay the painting program until next Summer, at which time

Summer Program employees under the CETA Program could be used for this
painting project.
The balance of this money will be used to supplement the Curb Replace-
ment Program now being conducted by the Department of Public Works.
Your favorable consideration of this ordinance is recommended.
Very truly yours,
Rollin E. Farrand, P. E.
Director
