My follow up question would be: is there a difference in electricity from 3,000 to 4,000? How do we calculate
that savings?

Mayor Donchess

| think the answer to that is the tariff says what the bill is going to be. There would be no difference in billing
between a 3,000 and 4,000. The smart meter would enable the city to get into that maybe in the future but
without the smart meter, the tariff brings the bill down.

| asked for two reasons. One, there is a huge variance in how well street light products throw light on the
ground. For those of us who like to look at the sky, we’d rather not have it there. For those of us who like to
look at the ground, we’d really like to have it there. The more efficient the fixtures are, the better off everybody
is. | was just wondering if we had taken that into account.

Another thing | think the committee did well in the last term was there was a proposal to sole source this to a
different provider. The committee asked that it be put out to bid. The amount of for the sole source that was
being considered last term was | think $2.1 million or $2.2 million. Now it’s a little less than $1.5 million. By
putting it out to bid, we saved $600,000 - $700,000.
