Street Lighting Concession Stalled (El Mexicano, 1/21/13 by Marco A. FLORES MANCILLA)
ENSENADA, BC - After canceling the contract for the replacement of 17 luminaries with LED lamps Councillor Alberto Moreno (Panal) presented before the Council today a proposal relative to the 20th City Council authorizing a halt by the regime for the concession of the public lighting service.
The proposal was made by the Coordinator of the Commission of Finance and Municipal Heritage and will be dealt with in Point 2 of the General Affairs Session of the Committee of the Governance and Legislation for its study and opinion.
Both commissions are responsible for determining the feasibility of the proposal, and to convene and secure bases, terms, conditions and expiration under which is a procedure can be granted as subject for the provision of the service.
Moreno Garayzar recalled that in July of last year the Cabildo approved "technological replacements for saving energy and elimination of light pollution in the municipality of Ensenada", looking for savings and to avoid light pollution. He explained that the City Council has no financial or credit capacity to fund the project, and therefore "should find creative mechanisms and try the project later or eliminate the topic". http://www.el-mexicano.com.mx/informacion/noticias/1/3/estatal/2013/01/21/645618/quieren-concesionar-el-alumbrado-publico.aspx
