Motion seconded by Selectman Green. VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. Cape Light Compact: Correspondence was received from The Cape Light Compact dated October 7,2002 with regards to participation in the Compact's Traffic Signal Retrofit project. A summary of the field survey was sent to the DPW Director for review and verification. Greg Taylor, Director of Public Works corresponded to the Selectmen on the Cape Light Compact initiative project in a memorandum addressed to the Board dated October 16, 2002. Mr. Taylor indicated that the Town has changed all traffic lights to light emitting diode (LED)traffic signals. He recommended against the change of the Fire/Police flashing signal since signalization is forthcoming. With regards to the school flashing lights,they are on only four hours per day for 180 days. It would not be cost effective to change these lights. Motion made by Selectman Leveille to remit a letter of appreciation to The Cape Light Compact for the initiative, but defer from participation, and to further review the previous contract with The Cape Light Compact to review the cost effectiveness of the program. Motion seconded by Selectman Green. VOTE: Unanimous. 5-0. Mr. Taylor was requested to update the Board on the cost of street lights.
