OLD BUSINESS
EASY STREET LIGHTING UPDATE:
Mr. Minner gave an update on the lights for Easy Street stating that the tall lights would
be $125,000, concrete sidewalk $40,000 and 18" lights $20,500. for $60,500. The light in
the sidewalk has the same estimate. The committee says not interested in tall lights.
Shorter lights would be okay but will cause more work for Parks Department. Recessed
in the sidewalk is best option. Chris got negative feedback. Water damage or moisture is
possible. Chris says they are the same as swimming pool lights. Mr. Sims asks about low
level lighting told the costs may vary but it will be close. Chris says if they wanted to
pick out one of each he could get exact prices.

might not be enough. Al says council can get two options. Choices OB361 and 1WBBL3

Sims says do you want us to pick out two. Mr. Minner asks what do they light better in
the sidewalk was the choice.
