B. Painting and priming of luminaire and other fixture housings shall be done in accordance with the requirements of ADOT Standard Specification Sections 610 and 1002.

C. The color of the support structure shall match Sherwin-Williams Drylac RAL6012 or approved equal. Alternate colors may be acceptable if approved by the City Engineer.

D. Supplementary pedestrian-level lighting structures and luminaires may be finished in other colors; provided, that the color chosen is sensitive to and complements the environment surrounding the installation. (Ord. 2017-22, Rep&ReEn, 07/05/2017; Ord. 2020-10, Amended, 09/15/2020 (Res. 2020-13))

13-12-005-0004 Streetlight Equipment and Service Line Ownership

A. For streetlights on public roadways, the division point for ownership is at the junction point where the service line is tapped or spliced for the service to each light. Thus, the streetlight equipment, including foundation, pole, mast arm, luminaire, and wiring within each pole and to the junction point, are property of the City of Flagstaff. The electric circuit feeding the lights, the junction box at the foot of each pole, and the connections, splicing, fuses, and other equipment within the junction box are the property and responsibility of the electrical utility that provides power to the streetlights.

B. On private streets, the streetlight ownership, operation, and maintenance are by separate agreement with the utility and the homeowners’ association, entity, or organization responsible for the private street. (Ord. 2017-22, Rep&ReEn, 07/05/2017; Ord. 2020-10, Amended, 09/15/2020 (Res. 2020-13))
