Regular Council Meeting <br />9/28/98 <br />Page 6 <br />with that and wanted to go more than that. Council President Fixler said we ended up negotiating, if <br />Council is amenable, that instead of the system costing over time (over 5 years would have been <br />$246,000 to lease) we -now can buy the system up front for $192,000. Council President Fixler <br />believes this is an excellent value and something worthwhile. We are into a more traditional kind of <br />look as opposed to a more contemporary look. Since the decision-makers attended that meeting <br />tonight, we wanted to come to Council with this. Since we are working on a narrow time line, we <br />need Council's approval tonight to say whether or not they are interested enough to go forward with <br />it. Then Phil and U.R.S. Greiner can coordinate the- exact style. He showed a picture of typical- <br />fixtures from C.E.I. and Night Vision to give Council a rough idea of the style. They are <br />maintenance favorable. Lyndhurst and Solon use them. He asked for Council's approval to go <br />forward--not with the memo copied to Couneil because it shows a much higher price--we are talking <br />about $192,000. <br />Mrs. Cinco said she didn't receive the memo. <br />Mr. Brett said he had them ready to go out Friday. [Council didn't receive them.] <br />Council President Fixler said he thought they had the same material he had. [Council has it now.] <br />He asked if Council would like to go this direction to approve this motion so Mr. Brett and Mr. <br />Greiner can-go forward. They will still have to come back with a design, etc. <br />Mrs. Cinco asked how many lights. <br />Mr. Brett said 67 total; 37 for the median and 30 will be a shorter version of that for along the bike <br />path. <br />Dr. Parker asked if the warranty will be the same whether leased or purchased. <br />Council President Fixler said-the warranty for C.E.I. is if there is a problem with a bulb, they will <br />replace it. If we own the system, we are obviously responsible to have the maintenance done. On <br />the other hand, if the poles need painting, we were told that is an outside situation and they wouldn't <br />.cover-something like that. He thinks there is enough cushion there to provide for that.- If we went <br />with the lease versus the payment, they would still offer some maintenance. <br />Mr. Brett said maintenance costs are shown on the worksheet. <br />Council Preside'rtf Fixler asked for a roll call. <br />Roll Call: AYES: All <br />NAYS: None Motion Carried <br />Authorization Given <br /> <br /> <br />
