He 3 discussed the trails and lighting that were proposed as part of this project. He explained the wrong 4 wiring was purchased for this project and the contractor was recommending the existing wire be 5 pulled and that the correct wire be purchased and installed for the trail lights. He reported there 6 was no impact to the 2023 Budget as this expense would come out of the 2023 Street Improvement 7 Fund. 8 9 Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if this was an engineering design error. Public Works/Parks and 10 Recreation Director Peterson believed this to be the case. He stated the contractor installed the 11 wire as per the designs, but once it was in the pole, the gauge wire could not bend within the 12 smaller LED poles. 13 14 Council Member Lindstrom recommended the wire that was pulled be sold for scrap in order to 15 recover some of the lost cost for the wire.
