Regular Council Meeting <br />February 15,1999 <br />Page 9 <br />OPEN PORTION - 3 minute limit imposed by Chair. Those who wish to speak must first state their <br />name and address. This open portion is limited to discussion pertaining to the items under "New <br />Business" only. <br />There were no comments. <br />ANY OTHER MATTER THAT MAY COME BEFORE COUNCIL <br />Night Swimming Lighting <br />Ken Muhlbach of Brandstetter, Carroll, Zofcin (in the audience) said he needs some direction as to <br />what the Village's intentions are regarding night swimming. The contractor would need to do some <br />things now as part of the contract rather than have to redo things later on. They are moving and we <br />don't want to get backed up. <br />Council President Marquardt asked him to enlighten everyone. <br />Mr. Muhlbach asked if everyone had seen the letter from Night Vision. Our original conversation <br />was for a,cost of around $47,000. The provisions in the contract include 12 single-head area lights; <br />20' poles. The night swimming was 50' poles with sport light fixtures on each which will cost <br />$47,000. He met with representatives of Night Vision to coordinate the street lighting, the parking <br />lot lighting, et cetera. They d'iscussed some options to light the pool. They looked at underwater <br />lighting which is about $3,000 per fixture and we would still need the area lights. It is probably cost <br />prohibitive_to go that direction. He referenced the 4?' paragraph of the letter. We are approximating <br />a credit of around $30,000 for the 12 area lights so we are looking at a difference of $46,000. Then, <br />to upgrade the night lighting which would be the same fixture (a decorative fixture on a pole with 2- <br />3 spotiights on top) woutd be another $60,500. At our meeting last week, we discussed the option of <br />going with a_similar, less expensive fixture. His conversations with Night Vision indicated that the <br />savings would be about $5-6,000 overall. We could pursue some other options but as the contractors <br />start excavating, they will start putting conduit and wire in. So we don't get backed up, we need to <br />know what the Viilage's thoughts are for the future. <br />Mr. Brett said he assumed that lighting and swimming at night had been put on hold. He assumed <br />the contract for the pool included the area lights not inside the parking lot--and asked if that was <br />correct. <br />Mr. Muhlbach said the contract for the pool includes 4 head lights in the parking lot and 12 poles <br />with single heads as security lighting in the pool site. It is within the pool fenced area but does not <br />address the issues of Night Swimming. <br />Mr. Brett asked for clarification on whether the $30,000 was for the light fixtures for the parking lot. <br />Mr. Muhlbach said we have not received a concrete number from the contractor but we are assuming <br />it will be about the same-430,000.
