Mayor votes to approve a 2000 candle power lighting contract at 45.50 per light with 90 to 125 lights, to run ten years after nine months after ratification. City grants use of poles with extensions at company expense and three experts determine service quality, budgeted for disputes.
City council halts on lighting contract amid tied vote
With a 4 4 council split and the mayor casting the deciding vote, a second reading for the lighting ordinance passed at a special session. The plan would let Fairfield Gas and Electric operate for ten years, taking over municipal lighting and ending city control. Debates centered on pole and wiring value and whether the city should gift or retain the assets. The pumping contract vote was expected to mirror the lighting one.
