Parks board approves purchase of single solar light; minutes approved

The Parks Board approved the minutes from its October 2024 meeting and voted to purchase one solar-powered light for installation near a park bridge.

Board members voted to approve the October 2024 minutes after a motion from Kelly and a second from Jeannie. Later in the meeting, the board voted by voice to authorize buying a single solar light, with staff instructed to proceed with a purchase order; the board chair said the cost for a typical pole-and-light unit runs about $1,900 to $2,000.

The minutes-approval motion was introduced and carried without discussion. The solar-light motion was discussed briefly; a board member moved to purchase one test unit so staff could evaluate performance before buying additional lights. The chair called the voice vote and declared the motion carried.

No formal roll-call vote totals or named yes/no votes appear in the meeting transcript; outcomes were recorded as voice votes and announced by the chair.
