Discussion and update on Colonia Lighting Initiative
Bobby Villarreal introduced Director of Strategic Planning Division, Rey Salazar who was present to update the Court in reference to the Rural Neighborhood Street Light Program. He mentioned the work they have accomplished so far, including solar panel street lights for all four precincts under the Pilot Program. Mr. Salazar made point of the projects they had consider which would include adding public light to the colonias under a certain electric provider, however due to the citizens wanting to chose their own electric provider this project did not work. After the approval of HB 3002 and with the consent of the community partners, they are working on establishing a new concept to facilitate street lights to the residents under the county’s name and later seek reimbursement through a fee assessment from the homeowners.
