(a) A municipality may install and maintain lighting improvements for a local public street as provided by this chapter if the governing body of the municipality adopts a resolution:
(1) on its own motion if:
- (A) the governing body considers it more advantageous to the public; and
- (B) public money is available for that purpose; or
- (2) following the receipt of a petition from the owners of property abutting a street to install and maintain street lighting improvements.

- (1) the nature and extent of the lighting improvements to be made;
- (2) any street or district composed of streets, highways, or alleys to be lighted;
- (3) the materials to be used; and
- (4) the method of paying the cost of the improvements.
