(A) The city's standard street light pole shall be the base service pole provided by the local electric utility and as verified by the Board of Control. Upgrades or alternatives to the base street light pole and fixture for new residential subdivisions and existing neighborhoods will be evaluated by the Board of Control and approved by a vote of the Council.

A = The monthly cost difference between the base service street light and upgraded street light as obtained from the local electric utility and verified by the Engineering Department Supervisor.
