From the meeting
At its October 19, 2026 meeting, the committee discussed setting new standards for residential street lighting after Ohio Edison did not follow the city's requests for lower wattage and less extreme color temperature. Chairperson Taft raised the option of the city taking over residential lighting and cited LED solar fixtures with batteries at about $500 each. The decision is still open, but the city may move toward standards and a self-owned lighting model.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
