after hearing from various neighboithood district councils, business associations, prop ty owners and staff, the Council approved both the construction of these systems and thei.
operation by the City on an assessment basis. It is required that a public hearing be eld
each year for both the estimated operating costs and then the actual operating costs. he
first above - standard lighting system began with the Lowertown system in 1983. These systems,
have increased at a rate of about 2 systems per year since then. 1
