=== Votes ===
[https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Vote_to_Upgrade_3515_Lighting Vote to Upgrade 3515 Lighting]
*Would the contractor be installing the materials?
**Yes
*Can we add zones?
**Not sure - ask Michael Skilton
**If there's extra money from the vote, it would be nice to add zones
* Who is pulling the permits?
**Contractor
*Will this delay us moving into the new space?
**Good question, not sure
** Ken's guess is it would be 2-3 days max for swapout, and space is usable at night (lights are on)
** Regardless, if there are not lights, we would not move into the space, so this work needs to happen
*Is there a schedule?
**Not yet, no contract yet
* What is the payback time?
** Estimated at 1.42 years, based on 8.5 hours per day (3,120 hours a day)
** Our usage is probably higher, so payback time would be shorther
** Even if it's twice as long as this estimate from the contractor, our lease is for five years.
** Payback is based on the $2500 amount; if landlord chips in the up to $1000 promised, payback could be faster
* Issue passes, 38 votes in favor, 0 against, 0 abstain
