Residents and council debate boat-launch lighting, warranty and safety
Summary
Councilors heard concerns about boat-launch lights that run at 30% until motion is detected; President Sheila R. Phillips said the village will not void the warranty, and residents urged alternatives including an offer to purchase the lights.
The Lincoln Village Council heard competing perspectives July 7 on lighting at the village boat launch.
Paul Sharp told the council there is no kill switch for the lights and that they remain at 30% power until motion is detected. President Sheila R. Phillips said the village would not void the warranty. Resident Kathy Putsky said she did not like the lights at the boat launch and questioned why the village would not accept an offer from Joe James to purchase them. Council Member Wambold argued that the boat launch is for everyone and that lighting should serve both firefighters and boaters.
The council did not record a formal vote on altering the lights during the meeting; the discussion was recorded as part of regular business.
