Rodeo organizers pitch $24,336 LED lighting upgrade for arena; commissioners ask staff to seek grants
Summary
Kinney River Stampede representatives presented a $24,336 proposal to replace arena fixtures with LEDs that would roughly double illumination; the board asked organizers to pursue Roundup for Safety and utility grants and return with funding options.
Representatives of the Kinney River Stampede presented a proposal to upgrade rodeo-arena lighting to LED fixtures that would approximately double the current illumination and improve visibility for riders entering from the ends.
The presenter said pole locations are fixed and the plan focuses on aiming and adding fixtures rather than relocating poles. A candela meter survey informed the proposed fixture layout. The estimated project cost is $24,336.
Commissioners asked about operational savings and potential grant credit programs. Presenters identified possible support from Roundup for Safety and local electric cooperatives and agreed to explore those avenues and return with funding options.
No vote was taken; staff and organizers will seek grant and partnership opportunities and return to a future agenda with cost-share proposals.
