Dr. Olson present a quote (Ameren discount included) to replace all indoor bulbs with LED bulbs. Lowman Electric thinks we could actually install the bulbs ourselves, so that would take an additional $7,600 off the quote, bringing the total to 7,429.60. We should actually see a significant savings in our electric bill as a result. It was noted it would take about 6 months to pay the cost based on what we save on energy cost. Monika wondered if there is somewhere we have to get of old bulbs due to mercury.
Moved by Heidbreder, seconded by Greenhalge to approve the quote from Lowman Electric as amended (roll call).
