District reviews Musco lighting assessment for football and baseball fields
Summary
A Musco site visit and lighting-readings showed current illumination is below optimal; staff said LED systems offer long life and remote control, and they will pursue grant options and long-range budgeting.
Dorena summarized a Musco site visit and the firm’s lighting measurements for the football and baseball fields and said the current levels fall short of optimal standards. She noted Musco's LED systems have a long expected useful life and maintenance benefits: "The thing about the Musco lighting is that it has a 25 year life."
Dorena described additional features — dimming and remote control via phone — and told the board Musco provided a list of community grants and school-grant information staff will review to see if the district qualifies for support. Board members asked about pole counts on the drawings and potential power-bill savings from LEDs; staff said grant and budget planning will inform any multi-year replacement schedule.
The board did not commit spending at the meeting; staff said the work is on a long‑range plan and they will follow up with the company's Portland representative and apply for any eligible grants.
