Thompson Electric will be installing. Some electric will be tied in. Paxton questioned who will change the lights if they go out. Newman stated it depends on who owns that building. Burnett asked how are these lights attached? Newman answered, these lights are not drilled in, they are attached by silicon and clips as she provided advise from other municipalities that have done a similar project. This will not mess up the integrity of the building. Per Newman, nothing has been publicized yet, but goal to complete project is Friday December 12, 2025. Burnett asked if these lights can be removed easily, Newman answered, yes, but for example, removal is not necessary in case of a hurricane Kyle w/ City of Wauchula also mentioned about the Verizon Building, how will that be lined due to it being a corner structure and a step down.
