Shari Burger was present to discuss the lighting at the library. A quote was received from Adams County Electrical Contracting in the amount of $10,535 for lighting.

Kitzman stated that Quent Dalton, Public Works could add a ceiling fan, rather than hiring out. It was the consensus of the council not to accept the quote for light fixtures at this time.
