CLEVELAND, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- City officials in Cleveland say installing light switches in the city's nine-story police
headquarters will likely cost $792,000.

The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported Friday the city council's Public Safety Committee voted this week to have light switches installed throughout the downtown police headquarters built in 1976.

The $792,000 price tag will be paid with federal grants, city officials said.

Safety Director Martin Flask said the proposal, which still needs to be approved by the full city council, would finally allow the lights in the building to be turned off when not needed.

"I don't think there's 15 light switches in that building," offered Flask, who is in the dark about why builders didn't install light switches.

"I don't know the logic," he told The Plain Dealer.
