Camera Continued from page A-1 "Most jurisdictions are," he said. "The benefit to the pavement is a big thing for US." Camera-like devices can also be seen on many traf- fic signals in Shelton, but many of them are part of an Opticon system, which detects flashing police, fire and aid unit lights, giving such vehicles a clear lane of travel in an emergency situ- ation. So don't worry about be- ing caught on candid cam- era on Wallace Kneeland, and expect more signal cam- eras to come in the future. Vote Continued from page A-1 District officials say that the replacement levy rates are pro- jected to be less than current ones and that the district will be eligible to receive about $7 mil- lion in matching funds. The projected rate for 2012 is $3.15 per $1,000 of assessed val- uation and will raise $6,570,000. In 2013, the rate would be about $3.20 and raise $6,786,000 and in 2014 the projected rate is $3.27 and raise $7,030,000. By way of comparison, the estimated rate for the levy that expires at the end of this year is $3.37 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Lastly, a Southside School District levy will help finance the cost of the district's non-high payment, administrative costs and maintenance and operation. If approved, the levy rate (per $1,000 of assessed valuation) would be $2.16 in 2012i $2.30 in 2013 and $2.40 in 2014. EMS Fire districts 3 and 9, mean- while, are also both running reg- ular property levies for EMS. In the Grapeview area, Fire District 3 is proposing a six- year levy at a rate of 18 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Fire District 9, meanwhile, is seeking a six year EMS levy at a rate of 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Light Continued from page A-1 very dark, officers monitored the area frequently. 'That light will remain off," Dav- enport said. Davenport asked the commission to approve the start of phase two of the project, which would darken 36 streetlights south of Cota Street to the Shelton city limits. The cost savings for the city for this phase is not yet known because all of the lights do not use the same amount of electricity. The city plans to start phase three, which eliminates 24 street- lights from Wallace Kneeland Blvd north to the city limits sometime in the second quarter of next year. City administrator Dave O~Leary commented on the project, and also said that the project would make the city's use of electricity much more efficient. "If there is existing lighting that makes that light redundant.., if we leave them on we're just burning en- ergy," he said. Mayor John Tarrant was hesi- tant to approve the commencement of phase two of the project, and said that he was still concerned about the impacts of the project on public safety, despite Davenport's assur- ances that safety would not be nega- tively impacted. "I didn't vote for this before," Tar- rant said. To address Tarrant's concerns, and to give the public another chance to give their input, the com- mission agreed to have another two-week public comment period on phase two of the project. Tap out?
