Summary

Trustees reviewed a proposed lighting plan that emphasized efficiency but may not suit the library’s historic building; the contractor will provide a revised plan and trustees noted they must use grant funds this month or consider another vendor.

Trustees discussed an exterior lighting project and a vendor meeting about a plan that emphasized energy efficiency. The minutes say the vendor "was pushing efficiency but we need to have something more appropriate for a historical building" and that the vendor would return with a new plan for Jen and Jake this week.

Members expressed urgency about the grant timeline: "We need to use the grant money this month," the recorded minutes state, and trustees discussed whether to engage a second vendor if the revised plan is not suitable. The exchange directs staff and trustees to monitor the vendor’s revised proposal closely and to act quickly to meet grant requirements if necessary.
