City of Oak Creek

Common Council Report

Meeting Date: May 6, 2003

Item No.:         25

Recommendation:  That the Common Council authorize the transfer of funds from the 2003 Unspecified Streets account in the estimated amount of $9,000 for the relocation of street lighting necessary for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WDOT) signalization and median alteration project on Highway 100 at 22^nd Street.

Background:  The WDOT is going to install traffic signals and construct left-turn lanes on Highway 100 at 22^nd Street and reconfigure the median at 20^th Street in July of this year.  The necessary relocation of existing light poles and related cabling to accommodate this project is the City’s responsibility.  The light poles are owned by WE Energies and the City pays them a usage fee for the street lighting.  WE Energies will perform the light relocations and bill the City for the cost of the work, which must be completed prior to the start of the WDOT project.

Fiscal Impact:  Funding for the street light relocations is proposed to come from the transfer from the 2003 Unspecified Streets account.
