Street light cost shifting to electric utility
Summary
Street light energy bills (~$400K) are currently paid by the General Fund but were once paid by the electric utility. Commissioners discussed shifting that cost back to the electric fund in FY28 — a move that would trim the General Fund without cutting services, though the utility advisory board history cuts both ways.
