Public Works Director Lee stated he does not know why the other vendors did not submit a quote. MOTION /SECOND: Flaherty /Gunn. To waive the reading and adopt Resolution 6671 Approving Retrofit of the Existing Electronic Message Board to an LED Lighting System Mayor Marty noted there is a time limit on the rebate and he hopes the sign is operational so the City qualifies for the rebate.

He stated he believes it would be more prudent to increase it to $1,000. Mayor Marty asked staff to correct a typo in the resolution, the last sentence under Section D, to indicate: "The City Council may grant an exception on the $1,200limit on a case -by -case basis." Councilmember Thomas stated she understands Councilmember Stigney's concerns but is also aware of the cost of higher education. She noted the goal is to have staff do a better job for the City and $750 does not accurately reflect the cost of higher education. She noted that even at $1,200 it is only half of the cost.
