AND AUTHORIZE RECORDING BY THE CLERK ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Town Manager to execute a Certificate of Acceptance and Notice of Completion accepting the work of Republic Intelligent Transportation Services, Inc. and authorize recording by the Clerk Administrator. BACKGROUND: During the construction phase of the Library, staff became aware of a visible lack of continuity between the lighting installed in the Civic Center parking lot, the old lights adjacent to the Civic Center lawn, and the parking lot at the Adult Recreation Center. The lights in question were outdated in terms of both energy consumption and architectural style. This presented an opportunity to bring the Civic Center outdoor lighting, which is visible from Main Street and the new Library, into alignment. This project provided for new energy efficient LED lighting in front of the Civic Center adjacent to the semicircular walkway. These outdoor fixtures match the lights in the new Library parking lot. It also replaced the same type of fixtures utilized in the parking lot for the Adult Recreation Center, visible across the street from the Civic Center campus.
