White called to order the Residential Neighborhoods Committee <br />meeting at 4:00 p.m. <br />Full audio dialogue of the meeting is available upon request from the City Clerk's Office. <br />Finn Cavanaugh, Project Engineer, with offices on the thirteenth (13th) floor of the County -City <br />Building, reported that an LED test pilot had been undertaken with American Electric Power <br />(AEP). A survey was posted in the Tribune and circulated to neighborhood associations. Finn <br />Cavanaugh provided an overview of the light specifications. <br />Committeemember Sheila Niezgodski asked if the number of kelvins is adjustable and if the <br />lights are physically adjustable. <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded that kelvins are not adjustable once the lights are implemented. Three <br />thousand (3,000) kelvins are consistent with city lights. Physical adjustments can be made to an <br />extent. AEP has its own technicians who work on the lights should a resident complain. <br />Committeemember Sheila Niezgodski asked how many additional lights there would be for areas <br />that do not currently have lighting. <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded that nine thousand (9,000) existing lights will be converted. Then, <br />additional requests will be reviewed as the Light Up South Bend project starts again. <br />Councilmember Rachel Tomas Morgan stated she hopes Council can spread the word on the <br />survey and asked about the feedback from the nine (9) participants who did not visit on site. <br />EXCELLENCE ACCOUNTABILITY INNOVATION INCLUSION EMPOWERMENT <br />455 County -City Building 227 W Jefferson Bvld South Bend, Indiana 46601 p574.235.9221 f574.235.9173 TTD574.235.5567 wwwsouthbendin.gov <br />
