Lights and liquor license on council, URA agenda

Downtown Coos Bay and Empire streets will be brighter and more energy efficient — and taxpayers will save $9,000 a year — thanks to a project to replace hundreds of street light bulbs.

The Urban Renewal Agency is scheduled to award the project during its meeting following the City Council session at 7 p.m. today in City Hall.Like this, you can set table lamps a mood or read a book or sew with great ease. Remember that lots of lighting sources are necessary within any room.

The lighting project is set to replace hundreds of sodium lights in the downtown Coos Bay and Empire areas with more energy-efficient high intensity discharge bulbs.

“It's not so much the long run of the light bulb as it is the efficiency,” said Randy Dixon, the city’s public works operations administrator.

“The benefits are enormous to the community here,” Dixon said.

Break-even point

The city will recoup its investment in six years, thanks to the energy-use savings, he added.The last form of lighting you can use for your kitchen cfl bulbs is accent lighting. This is used to highlight collectibles, artwork and any architectural feature in your kitchen. Accent lighting should be three times more powerful than ambient and task lighting.

The city’s $56,805 contribution to the project comes from Urban Renewal Agency funds. A $60,758 grant from the Oregon Department of Energy Efficiency and Conservation and $22,913 from an Energy Trust of Oregon grant make up the rest of the funding.

“We just happen to be lucky to have funds for grants to help us out to make that come to fruition," Dixon said.

Before the URA meeting, city councilors are expected to appropriate funds to the major capital reserve fund and its reserve to match the grants for the lighting project, and for another project to complete a seismic renovation of City Hall.

Old City Hall club

City Council members also are scheduled to make a recommendation about a new business’ request for a liquor license.

If recommended during council’s meeting at 7 p.m. tonight at City Hall, The Pyramid still faces final approval from the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, City Manager Rodger Craddock said.

The dance club and lounge is proposed for Old City Hall, 375 Central Ave. Issues arose when Mak’s Old City Hall Lounge operated in the same location, but Craddock said the situation seems different with Marcelino M. Garcia’s proposed business.The led lamp you purchase will be made up of two main components, apart from the bulb of course. These are known as the trim and the housing. The trim is the visible part of the light.

Garcia also owns the Sea Basket in Charleston and Sea Basket 2 in North Bend, both of which have liquor licenses.

Craddock: ‘A good deal’

A liquor license violation occurred at the Sea Basket, located in Charleston, when an employee illegally sold alcohol during an liquor control commission operation in May. However, a background check did not bring up any reason to prohibit a full on-premises sales license at the location, Craddock said, and the nature of the offense was not persistent.

In Garcia’s application to the liquor control commission, business hours are listed as 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., Wednesday through Monday,In order to perform your work more accurately in the kitchen, you need to have adequate illumination Led bulb light or task light in the key work areas.

Entertainment also includes dancing, karaoke, coin-operated games and pool tables.

“The new owner knows our expectations, and we’ve got to hear his business plan,” Craddock said.

“So if everything goes as he says, I think it’s going to be a good deal.”
