Committee approves Musco lighting control warrant to let parks schedule and dim ball‑field lights remotely
Summary
Council recommended a $73,050 warrant to Musco Sports Lighting for software that allows remote scheduling and on/off control of park field lights, a measure staff said will reduce late‑night nuisance lighting and enable permit‑based control.
The committee approved a warrant in favor of Musco Sports Lighting (not to exceed $73,050) to acquire software for digital control of park and ball‑field lighting. Public Works staff said the platform supports preprogrammed schedules tied to permits and allows park superintendents to control lights remotely.
John Leppard of Public Works described existing systems and the benefit of standardizing control: "When a field is permitted ... it could be preprogrammed to turn on and off during the time of the permit. Also, people like Keith and Joe Rush ... can go on their phone and turn lights on and off." Members welcomed the improved control and noted compatibility with city night‑sky considerations.
