128 Councilman Henderson questioned whether the fixtures would be similar to those of the restaurant . Acting Deputy Director of Public Works Sennewald responded they would not , and agreed that the Charley Brown Restaurant fixtures were attractive , but did not produce any light . He displayed a large sketch of the pro- posed electroliers and commented on his discussions with City Manager , who wanted sometling functional , but attractive . Council - man Henderson stated she was not convinced a lot of lighting was needed . Assistant City Manager advised that the intensity of lighting could easily be changed by the number of luminaires . The masthead with halyards design was intended to fit in with the area . Acting Deputy Director of Public Works noted that it had been anticipated there might be a question as to lighting levels and definition of what "adequate " was . He reviewed recommended standards of the Illuminating Engineering Society of lighting levels for various types of lighting situations , including two to five foot - candle levels for parking lots . Lighting level recommended by Public Works would provide lighting in the low range . Councilman Henderson noted that the Marina Committee had considered this question and pursued the possibility of fixtures similar to the restaurant , but not as expensive , and indicated she was not prepared to accept the present proposal . Acting Deputy Director of Public Works responded to a number of questions by Council , relative to pole height , life expectancy of the ropes , recommended heights of the light fixtures , etc . He pointed out that it is recommended to have a greater light level in parking lots for safety reasons than those on residential streets , and that those proposed were at the lower end of the range recommended . He also stated that placement of the light higher allows the light to distribute itself over a broader area , rather than having bright spots immediately below . Councilman Henderson felt that it would be preferable for Council not to take action until there had been an opportunity to examine the potential of doing the entire visitor parking area . Motion to adopt the resolution LOST on roll call vote , Councilmen Henderson , Leipzig , Norris and Mayor Keckley voting no ; Councilmen Weymouth and Williams voting yes , and Councilman Rhodes being noted absent . 8/7/72 Reg .
