The intent is to have the tower lit warm white “95% of the time.” Two options for lights on the tower were shared with council members. The first would call for lights to be installed only on top of the tower. An estimated cost of $33,300 was given, drawn from public lease funds. The second option would also light the legs of the tower. The estimated cost is $43,500.
