Coldwater BPU approves $58,350 for Rotary Park decorative lighting
Summary
The board adopted a staff recommendation to buy decorative lighting (to match Waterworks Park) for Rotary Park at a cost of $58,350, covering 14 fixtures for parking and pathways; lead time is 18–24 weeks and infrastructure is being placed for future expansion.
The Board of Public Utilities approved a $58,350 purchase of decorative lighting for Rotary Park, aiming to match the fixtures used in Waterworks Park and to standardize aesthetics for future projects.
John Springhall said the city project requires parking‑lot and pathway lighting; staff recommended purchasing fixtures from Michigan Lighting Systems (representing Spring City Lighting) as the sole state provider for the chosen style. He said the package covered nine pathway fixtures and five parking lot lights (14 total) for the current phase and that infrastructure will accommodate future phases.
Board members asked whether the purchase was phase 1 only; staff confirmed this purchase covers the existing parking/boat launch area and the pathway toward US‑12, with future phases possible. A motion to adopt staff’s recommendation passed on a voice vote.
Next steps: staff will place the order and schedule installation with an 18–24‑week lead time.
