approved is quite extensive. It’s still not totally okayed. We expect to get that soon, this spring. Hayner
Swanson is more involved in this whole repurposing issue than anyone else. They have a rather strong,
lengthy relationships with all of the parties and understand the regulations that are necessary to accomplish
this. This is basically making sure that we are able to fully take advantage of the federal funds that were
originally assigned to the project. This is bonded money. This is money that is still left over from the bonds
that the city sold pursuant to this project.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman O’Brien
| am amazed that we only had 11 fixtures that seemed to have the type of damage for the type of winter that
we're having. That seems like an extremely low number compared to the 5,500 street lights that we have out
there. We're doing very good with the LEDs evidently.
Mr. Kooken
Yes, they are very durable. Some of this is to buy some fixtures for specific neighborhoods.
Alderman O’Brien
Very good.

ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Caron
Can you tell me when this is going to begin?
Mr. Kooken
| think it’s the spring.
Mayor Donchess
| think it is as soon as the weather allows. The point of this contract was to assess the streets that are going to
be paved. It will start as soon as the weather is good enough to begin the work.
