Councilmember Moser questioned if the lighting for the parking lot has been resolved. Assistant Fire Chief Donald Ladd responded the lighting was in the pricing of the bid. Mr. Ladd and staff will look at additional lighting to match the Fire Station better which will tie into that on San Jacinto. Mr. Ladd also added there is decorative lightning that matches the Fire Station, and no cheap box lighting will be used. Councilmember Moser asked if it will address the concern of the neighbors on the south side of the Fire Station. Mr. Ladd responded the lightning concern is being looked at by staff, and bids have been received; but it is not a part of this project. Mr. Ladd also added money is set aside for the project, and staff is working to make sure the lights will tie in with the low voltage in order for all of the lights to come on at the same time. Councilmember Moser moved to approve the award bid #13023 as presented by staff. Councilmember Kaminski seconded. MOTION PASSED. Page 4 of 8 October 28, 2013, Council Meeting Minutes
