1. Lighting Fixtures Installed By City; Monthly Charge:
a. A self-contained automatic dusk to dawn ninety (90) watt mercury vapor lighting fixture shall be furnished and installed, or caused to be installed, by the city electrical department, such fixture to meet standards and specifications of the city, on existing wood pole structures for the customer's use at a monthly energy charge rate of five dollars fifty cents ($5.50) per unit; if city furnishes pole and ninety (90) watt mercury vapor, six dollars fifty cents ($6.50) per month. Four hundred (400) watt mercury vapor or two hundred fifty (250) watt sodium lamps shall have a monthly rental charge of nine dollars ($9.00) per month. The charge of five dollars fifty cents ($5.50) per month or nine dollars ($9.00) per month, as the case may be, will be added to the customer's monthly utility bill and shall become an integral part of said bill.
b. The city electrical department will be responsible for making the installation, furnishing the electricity for the operation of the lamp, and providing all the necessary maintenance (including the normal replacement of lamps).
2. Additional Facilities; Charges: Should the installation of a standard lighting unit require the installation by the city electrical department of additional facilities not required by the city for distribution purposes other than the private outdoor lighting to be installed, the electrical department will furnish, install, own and maintain the additional facilities (including wood poles) which may be necessary to provide such lighting from nearby distribution lines. The electrical department will make a net monthly charge of six dollars fifty cents ($6.50) per month.
3. Contract Agreement: A two (2) year minimum contract shall be agreed to and signed by each customer desiring dusk to dawn lighting service, authorizing fixed monthly charges to be applied to the monthly city utilities bill.
