Bryce Canyon City Council approves three-year Christmas lights installation agreement with grant match
Summary
The council approved a three-year contract to install LED holiday decorations and landscape lighting on downtown poles and plantings, with state travel-council grant funds to cover part of the cost.
Bryce Canyon City Council voted to approve a three-year contract to install LED snowflake decorations, pole banners and landscape lighting along Center Street and the blocks around 100 South.
The contract, as described at the meeting, would cost about $19,004.85 in year one, $14,623.75 in year two and $12,666.50 in year three; the city expects to apply for a travel-council grant that the presenters said would cover up to 65% of eligible costs, capped at $5,000. Council members voted to approve a three-year plan for the lights after a motion and second were recorded.
Council members discussed timing and whether to authorize the contract immediately or wait; the council’s motion approved the three-year plan during the meeting without a recorded opposing vote. The presenter described the scope as LED fixtures on light poles, snowflake decorations, and landscaping work on bushes and trees in the corridors between Center Street and 100 South.
The council did not adopt any additional conditions in the discussion recorded on the agenda. Staff said the city is coordinating the lighting work with other exterior lighting projects, including work at the wellness center, so some installations will wait until that project is complete.
The contract award and the grant application are expected to proceed as staff coordinates pricing and grant paperwork; council members asked staff to notify the vendor and to gather final quotes. No implementation timetable or contract start date was specified during the discussion recorded in the transcript.
