ccDale Cahn ± Attached Report. Lecce Electric quoted us $3,500.00 to install the new LED
lights that we received from a PennDot grant. Dale thinks the price is too high and would like to shop around. He also
suggested that council approve a resolution to raise the price of installing a water meter. We are currently losing money
because the prices are going up so fast.
