Question:

What is the cost to extend the holidays lights for an additional month on either end of the lighting season? (Councilwoman Pepper)

Response:

Holiday lights cost approximately $5,800 per month. This covers $2,500 for maintenance of the lights, which includes checking and replacing light strings, as well as $3,300 for electricity costs. The cost to add an additional month on each of the holiday lights season would be $11,600 annually. The cost to extend the current five-month period to 11 months would be $34,800.
