Board hears update on downtown lighting dispute; third-party report sent to manufacturer
Summary
Trustee Abernathy reported that P & G Enlighten and a third-party consultant inspected downtown lights, conducted tests and provided a report to manufacturer QTran; the village noted a June 30 deadline for a remedy but no formal board action was taken.
Trustee Abernathy told the Village Board that on Thursday representatives from contractor P & G Enlighten and a third‑party consultant inspected the village’s decorative lighting and performed tests to investigate grounding and decoder issues described by the lighting manufacturer QTran.
Abernathy said the group turned on lights, hooked up additional fixtures to the decoders and performed a process-of-elimination test. The third‑party consultant drafted a report that Abernathy said was shared with P & G Enlighten and that P & G is now sending to QTran so the manufacturer can propose a remedy. Abernathy said P & G acknowledged receipt of a letter from the village and that the contractor understands the deadline. During the meeting one trustee referenced a June 30 midnight deadline for resolution; another trustee mentioned July 1 before being corrected in the transcript that the deadline is June 30 at midnight.
No formal motion or vote was taken on the lighting issue during the meeting; the item was presented as an update and described as ongoing. Trustees indicated they expect a status update from staff; Abernathy said she hoped to receive an update later in the week.
