Review Proposed 2017 Blue Heron Days Events Schedule —Director <br />16 DeGardner introduced Recreation Supervisors Brian Hronski and Ali Luken to review <br />17 plans for this year's city festival, Blue Heron Days. (See PowerPoint Presentation for <br />18 outline of Friday, Saturday and Sunday activities) <br />19 <br />20 The council asked that the event be presented on the city's cable channel as well as the <br />21 planned advertisements. <br />24 3. LED Retrofit Proposal -Legacy at Woods Edge Street Lights, Civic Complex <br />25 Parking Lot Lights, and Civic Complex Exterior Building Lights - Director <br />26 DeGardener introduced the proposed contractor for the project, Jeff Rutz of Meridian <br />27 Energy Products (who completed a lighting upgrade project recently at the city hall <br />28 complex). Mr. DeGardner noted that staff is recommending a project to retrofit exterior <br />29 lighting with a goal to reduce energy costs. He noted the proposed project cost and a <br />30 payback period of approximately four years. Mr. DeGardner explained how the <br />31 opportunity has come forward to have an exterior project. <br />32 <br />33 Council Member Rafferty recalled that he had previously brought forward the idea of <br />34 upgrading this lighting and at that time the concept was based on a ten year payback; this <br />35 is better. Also he's curious about how the change actually occurs — would this involve <br />36 new fixtures? <br />37 <br />38 Mr. Rutz explained that with the custom lights present in the project area, there was <br />39 previously only one vendor who could retrofit the lights. Now there is more opportunity, <br />40 creating more ease and less cost through a retrofit (no fixture replacement). <br />41 <br />42 Council Member Maher asked about the warranty and Mr. Rutz said it would be 100,000 <br />43 hours. She noted that there shouldn't then be any difference in longevity or warrantee <br />1 <br />
