Summary

Council reviewed an $83,750 Phase 1 lighting proposal for Veterans Memorial, Casey Park and Barrier Free Park from Impact Lightscapes; council approved moving forward with Phase 1 pending a finance department budget amendment.

City staff presented an RFP response from Impact Lightscapes and Outdoor Audio LLC for a three-phase lighting plan for city facilities. The proposed Phase 1 would light the Veterans Memorial, Casey Park and Barrier Free Park at a cost of $83,750; Phase 2 (City Hall decorative lighting) and Phase 3 (community center and pool) were offered as later phases at additional costs.

Staff told council the lighting project was not included in the current budget and would require a finance department budget amendment to fund the first phase. Council members discussed phasing the project and whether to award only Phase 1 and bring back additional phases after completion. A motion to approve Phase 1 and direct staff to return with a budget amendment carried.

Staff will return with the necessary budget amendment to authorize the Phase 1 award and proceed with contract execution if funded.
