Town to hold work session on converting street lights to LEDs
Summary
Town staff proposed a September work session to consider converting the town's remaining street lights to LED fixtures, discuss vendor proposals and financing, and weigh expected long-term savings; current street-light costs were cited at about $5,500 per month.
Town staff asked the board to schedule a focused work session in September to consider converting the town’s remaining street lights to LED fixtures and to discuss financing and vendor options.
Speaker 1 told the board the topic would likely require more time than a regular meeting and should include a detailed conversation on savings, replacement strategy and repayment. Speaker 5 provided a recent cost figure, saying, “We pay about $5,500 a month for street lights,” and urged the board to consider that cost in evaluating an LED conversion.
No formal vote or financing decision was made during the meeting. Staff asked board members to suggest dates in September for the proposed work session so the conversion proposal, including financing and vendor comparisons, can be discussed in detail at a future meeting.
