Council approves up to $1,300 for donor youth association to install solar floodlights at fields
Summary
Council approved a not-to-exceed $1,300 quote (after staff-reduced labor) from Trinity Lighting to install replacement solar floodlights at sports facilities; staff said digging could be done in-house to lower the cost and the purchase fits the parks' line item budget.
Council considered a request from the donor youth association to purchase and install replacement solar floodlights at the 1300 facility. Staff said the existing solar lights were inadequate and that Trinity Lighting provided a quote that could be reduced by about $1,200 if the city did the trenching work. The presentation included a financial-impact note that the line began the year with $11,000 and currently had an available balance (transcript numbers cited by staff).
A councilmember moved to approve the request and a second was recorded; one councilmember voiced support and the mayor called for the vote. The transcript records the request as a routine capital expenditure described as "not to exceed $1,300" and the council voiced support for approving the installation so the batting cages and youth facilities have safe lighting.
