Sections 50-312 and 50-313 of the Idaho Code authorize the city to provide for street lighting within the city and sections 62-2201 63-1311 and 63-1311A of the Idaho Code authorizes the city to impose and collect fees for such services. The city council does hereby find that public lighting promotes the safety and welfare of property owners and residents of the city and the beneficial use and enjoyment of improved real property within the city. The city council further finds that residents and property owners benefit from public lighting through the increased safety that a well lighted neighborhood provides and through increased safety when driving or walking in the city and that these benefits accrue even when such lighting is not adjacent to their property. The city council further finds that it is equitable and fair that the owners and occupants of improved real property pay for public lighting by charges commensurate with the relative proportionate benefit, as determined by the council, received for such service. The city council further finds that the most practical, fair and equitable method of collecting such charges is to include the billing of such charges as a separate item under the general utility billings of the city.
