Council considers donating three surplus Woods Road light poles to town park
Summary
Council discussed repurposing three streetlight poles left over from the Woods Road project for installation near the amphitheater and pickleball courts at the park; staff said installation and wiring would be handled by town crews and expressed comfort with the donation, though no formal funding details were provided.
Council discussed a request to donate three surplus streetlight poles—leftover from the Woods Road project—to the town park for use near the amphitheater and pickleball courts.
Town staff explained the poles could not meet roadway light‑shed requirements for major roads but would be suitable for park lighting. "They would obviously be called electricity to work to get them hooked everything," the staff member said, noting a town employee (Randy) is comfortable managing the wiring and installation logistics. Council members asked about number and height; staff confirmed there are three surplus poles and said some other poles at proper height could serve elsewhere.
Council discussion focused on logistics, timeline and where the poles might be placed; staff said the town would handle electrical work and follow up with a site plan or wiring schedule. No formal motion to transfer ownership with funding for installation was recorded; council expressed general support and requested staff follow up.
