Summary

The commission approved a lighting change near Brookside School under a Consumers Energy agreement; staff flagged fund-coding questions for construction vs. ongoing street-light charges and will confirm correct accounting entries before final processing.

Commissioners approved a Consumers Energy lighting agreement to replace or modify an existing fixture near Brookside School. Michelle noted the proposed change appears to convert a narrow, projector-style fixture into a broader flood-style light to improve wintertime illumination outside the school.

Commissioners asked whether costs were being charged to the correct fund lines; staff said they would confirm whether construction charges should be coded to local street construction accounts while ongoing street-light electrical bills would be charged to street-lighting budgets. The motion passed with the commission asking staff to verify the fund coding before final invoicing.
