Sebby-Rick Soderstrom is concerned about sole sourcing for the Prairie Path lights. |
|
Perhaps we could have an approved equal. If we don't sole source it opens up other |
|
issues, i.e., different contractors, different fixtures. Kaforski-That's one of the reasons |
|
we've talked about having a standard. Rickard-It is allowed under state law to sole |
|
source if it's something the village wants to standardize. When you allow other vendors, |
|
you're going to run into differences. |
|
General discussion ensued regarding the difference between manufacturers and |
|
distributors. D Mahal asked if it's possible to enter into a long term agreement with a |
|
manufacturer to negotiate a better price. Rickard explained that doing that would |
|
probably not secure a better price. Beyond three years most wouldn't want to do it. |
|
Rickard reviewed the proposed policy. The committee discussed Section D, last |
|
sentence. Kaforski-Maybe if it read non-aesthetic components. D Mahal-Section B, |
|
instead of "not be included, change to "not required". |
|
Rickard will email revised policy to committee members and put on the October 2nd |
|
Board agenda. |
|
Sebby suggested that once the ComEd intersection lighting is 85%-90%, staff should do |
|
a walk-through and make sure no houses are being washed with light. |
|
It was moved by Kaforski, seconded by Blakeslee, to recommend approval of the |
|
proposed policy with the amendments as noted. The motion carried by the |
|

before winter. |

Kaforski-Are they working to alleviate flooding? Dratnol-They do have an effect in lesser |
|
storms. It's not making it any worse for having added impervious area. |
