Trustees discuss streetlight maintenance and My Brightwaters app reporting; responsibility for some lights unclear
Summary
Trustees discussed recurring outages and graffiti near an overpass and clarified that some streetlights are county property while others are village-maintained; staff described how the My Brightwaters app geolocates resident reports to route to staff, and trustees said they would clarify replacement-cost figures that varied in the discussion.
A resident and trustees discussed a multi-party maintenance issue: several streetlights near a storage facility and under an overpass have been knocked down repeatedly and residents expect repair. One trustee noted that some lights sit on Suffolk County right-of-way and are not village property, while others are the village's responsibility.
Staff and trustees described the My Brightwaters app reporting process. "If you go to do that in the app, you go to, right away ... that gets reported into Kristen and then that report goes to Mike and then they have to follow touch," a staff speaker said, explaining how geolocated reports are routed. Trustees also discussed replacement costs that appeared inconsistently in the transcript (cited as $3,750 in one exchange and $37.50 in another); they said staff would clarify the actual per-incident replacement cost and pursue a longer-term fix.
