Voters Back Measure for Street Light Upkeep
From Staff and Wire Reports
More than 90% of Lancaster property owners voted to approve a proposed $25 annual increase in their street light maintenance assessment, city officials said Friday.
Because of increased electricity costs, City Manager Jim Gilley said, if voters had not approved the measure, street lighting would have been reduced.
Gilley said that 95 of Lancaster’s 104 zones voted for the increase, which will be added to property tax bills.
