Street lighting systems: City of South El Monte.

(1) The Street Lighting Act of 1919 provides for an alternative system for making improvements to street lighting systems, as defined. The act authorizes, when, in the opinion of the city council of any city, the public interest or convenience requires, that the city may, among other things, order that any street lighting system be maintained in or along the whole or any part of any one or more of the streets in that city. This bill would, in addition to the Landscaping and Lighting District of the City of South El Monte's existing authority to perform specified maintenance and operations under the Street Lighting Act of 1919, authorize that district to also make improvements and perform maintenance pursuant to the Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972. (2) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the City of South El Monte.
