Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved hiring Republic Intelligent Transportation Services to create the city's first comprehensive street lighting plan. The company will evaluate existing streetlights and develop a strategy for where new lights are needed, which old fixtures should be upgraded, and how to prioritize safety improvements. This planning contract will help guide future lighting decisions but doesn't commit the city to any specific projects or spending. The vote was routine, with all members supporting the assessment.
