City council approves additional lights in Lions Club Park
A request to add additional lighting around the walking path in Lions Park has been approved by Meadow Lake city council.
The decision to endorse the Lions Club need for additional lights came at council’s last meeting on March 14.
Mayor Gary Vidal said a similar proposal had been made two years ago, but was rejected due to high cost. “This seems like a very good compromise where they can get some additional lighting in some areas, where it’s maybe a little dark around the path, and do it in a very cost effective manner.”
The estimated cost of installing the seven lights is $400 to $500 each ($3,500 at the most), which will be covered by the Lions Club. The City of Meadow Lake will be responsible for paying the power bill and maintenance of the lights, which is estimated to cost approximately $76 per month.
