•CCITY OF SOUTH BEND OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded that questions on color temperature had been received from the Dark <br />Sky community; however, the International Dark -Sky Association has approved the color <br />temperatures selected. Many respondents said they would like new lights in their neighborhoods. <br />Council President Sharon L. McBride asked about priority for installation. <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded that orders have begun to be placed for larger corridors like Lincoln <br />Way and downtown. Areas that receive lighting complaints will be prioritized. <br />Council President Sharon L. McBride stated that trees obstruct some lights. She asked if trees <br />would be trimmed during installation. <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded that the City Forester would assist on a case-by-case basis, but this <br />will not be handled immediately unless it impacts an electrical wire or prevents installation. <br />Chair Karen L. White asked what Council could do to spread the word about the survey. <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded that directing constituents to the article in the Tribune could help. <br />Direct mailers have been sent to neighborhoods where lights will be installed. Residents can <br />contact AEP or 311 to report non-functioning streetlights. <br />Councilmember Lori K. Hamann requested confirmation that installations will occur between <br />Spring 2022 and August 2022. <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded affirmatively. <br />Eric Horvath, Public Works Director, with offices on the thirteenth (13th) floor of the County - <br />City Building, added that this is crucial so that priorities can be identified and bulbs changed. <br />Committeemember Henry Davis Jr. asked if the workforce must be expanded to maintain the <br />lighting being established in the city. <br />Finn Cavanaugh responded that AEP is responsible for maintaining its lights, but it is the <br />responsibility of the city and residents to report which lights are out. <br />Eric Horvath responded that maintenance would be required much less than before, and AEP <br />will have a timeline to handle lights that are out. <br />With no further business, Chair Karen L. White adjourned the Residential Neighborhoods <br />meeting at 4:40 p.m. <br />Respect ly Submitted <br />--�7 <br />Karen L.
