Committee to forward split lighting recommendation to governing board after mixed survey results
Loading...
Summary
After a mixed resident survey and split committee views, the Sports Pavilion committee recommended the proposed diamond‑style LED lighting project be included in the capital improvement budget but noted the governing board may pull it for further review once staff provides pricing.
The Sports Pavilion committee reviewed a survey and staff recommendation to replace billiard‑room lights with a newer, lower‑profile diamond LED fixture and debated whether to forward the item for governing‑board approval.
Chair Jolene Pioskowski outlined the survey results (about 296 respondents) and asked whether the committee wanted to recommend the new lighting for the capital improvement plan. Committee members were split: Bob argued many players reported no problem with current lights and suggested a limited trial first—“why are we spending money on something that isn't a problem?”—while Cliff said a filtered subset of players who had used the perimeter lights showed a near 54/46 split and staff believed a diffused diamond light could satisfy both frequent and casual players if costs were reasonable.
Gary said he had requested a vendor quote for 29 lights, freight and installation from West Coast Billiards and expected pricing by the end of the week. Cliff emphasized the board, not the committee, ultimately decides whether to use savings this year to accelerate installation; the committee’s role was to recommend inclusion or request that the board pull the item for more consideration.
After discussion, the chair said she would recommend including the lighting project in the capital improvement budget and have the governing board decide whether to proceed or pull the item for further review.
