Public Works presented a quote to replace the sports-complex ball-field lighting with LED fixtures and automated control that allow field-by-field scheduling. Staff said energy-efficiency savings and automated scheduling are primary benefits, though the vendor’s current quote is roughly $100,000 higher than a 2023 estimate. Council members asked about kilowatt and dollar savings; staff indicated LED fixtures should be significantly lower in energy use and that the project will be handled via a midyear budget amendment.
