Dr. Parker, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to request proposal and proceed forward with the lighting plan of Night Vision for the cost outlined in the memo to Council. Council President Fixler said we had extension discussion with the Night Vision representatives this evening. Council has a brochure that outlines some of the different styling available. The difference between the plan of theirs and a company of theirs and the ones you get from C.E.I. is two-fold. They generally are alease-to-own company as opposed to a C.E.I. program which is a lease-to-lease. Then you will continue to pay for these street lamps as long as you want them up. Phil had gone through some numbers that outlined what our costs would have been. Over a 10 year period of time, even though the Night Vision is originally more money up front in terms of monthly payments, over the life of i0 years it would actually be a savings to go with Night Vision. Night Vision makes them out of a concrete substance that is very difficult to vandalize. We will still have the same costs for trenching, backfilling, underground wiring, transformer pads, etc. In our discussions we realized we were talking about an interest rate of 6.5% over their leasing. We asked if we paid for the system up front if we could knock the 6.5% offto reduce the cost. The answer was yes. We weren't happy
