Council OKs intent to join regional street-lighting negotiations
Summary
Moraine approved an ordinance expressing intent to negotiate jointly with neighboring cities for a regional street-lighting pricing schedule; the measure passed on second reading.
The Moraine City Council voted May 22 to express the city’s intent to negotiate jointly with other municipalities on a single price schedule for street-lighting services.
The ordinance — presented as “Ordinance 218,525” on the second reading — authorizes Moraine to participate in a regional negotiation for street-lighting contracts and noted Miami Valley Lighting and the Miami Valley Communications Council (MVCC) as partners in the effort. Council approved the measure on a roll call vote with all members present voting yes.
City officials described the ordinance as a procedural move enabling Moraine to join a broader regional procurement for electric light services used for street lighting. No substantive contract award or final pricing was approved at the meeting; the ordinance authorizes the joint-negotiation process rather than committing the city to a particular vendor or price schedule.
Councilmembers voting yes were Ms. Marcus, Ms. Witt, Mr. Miller, Mr. Brichette, Mr. Dougherty and Mayor Murphy. The ordinance was advanced on second reading and will allow staff to participate in the collective negotiation process with neighboring jurisdictions and their chosen vendors.
