California Edison provides service to all street lights except Ramona Blvd., which are city facilities. It has taken time to resolve the blame for the problem between Edison and the City contractor. Edison has corrected their part of the problem, but the city contractor had to go back east for the parts. We have asked the contractor to push the completion schedule up. Councilman Izell said he estimated about 200 to 250 street lights that are out. Councilman McNeill said he had had calls from business people in the area who had break-ins because of darkness on Ramona. He said he had checked for at least 2 months. He favored a strict policy that the police report all inoperative lights immediately so they can be repaired as soon as possible. If the contractor cannot do the job he would suggest getting another contractor. He did not believe there should be any further lapse of time until lights are operative. They should be taken care of now. Councilman Aguilar said the problem is that Edison is the only service provider and the General Contractor has to resolve difficulties with them. Mr. Kelly said Edison is under the Public Utilities Commission and he was checking as to why our contractor did not have the necessary parts stocked. The parts were ordered last Thursday. Councilman King felt a letter from the Mayor would resolve the situation. Discussion followed and it was resolved that this problem win be corrected as soon as possible. 00- Mr. Sexton read by title: STREET LIGHTS RESOLUTION NO. 79-131 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF BALDWIN PARK COMMENDING THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY DAILY TRIBUNE FOR 25 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY WAIVE FURTHER READING AND ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 79-131.
