Holtville reports $25,000 IID grant to convert park lights to LEDs; pool sponsorship and social-media engagement highlighted
Summary
City staff reported a $25,000 IID grant to replace field lights with LEDs, announced the pool is sponsored through the summer and flagged a successful social-media post approaching 15,000 views.
City staff reported that the city applied for and received a $25,000 grant from IID to replace halogen fixtures with LED lights at the Samaha facility. Staff said the conversion will make the lights brighter and more energy-efficient and credited local volunteer support in pursuing the grant.
City Clerk Eva Rego also highlighted an active social-media presence: a recent TikTok post has approached roughly 15,000 views, which staff said helps local outreach. Rego added that the city’s pool has a sponsor for the full summer season and noted a Friday-night swim event scheduled for July 26.
Staff described the lighting conversion as funded by the IID grant and expected to reduce long-term operating costs. No formal council action beyond acceptance of the report was recorded; staff indicated they would proceed with implementing the lighting replacement.
