C. Recommendation of Replacement Streetlight Fixtures for Discontinued “Destin-Prague”

April 20, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is planning to replace existing streetlight fixtures in the Town Center CRA and Harbor CRA areas. The current "Destin-Prague" model is no longer supported, requiring a new lighting agreement. The city plans to adopt a teardrop-style fixture with a decorative bracket as the new standard for the Town Center CRA and a specific Area Lighting fixture for the Harbor CRA. This item is currently under review, with a recommendation made to adopt the new fixtures and authorize the City Manager to execute a lighting agreement. The project will involve the removal of old fixtures and the installation of new ones, potentially including associated electrical work and site preparation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in electrical, lighting, and general construction could find opportunities as the city moves forward with this lighting upgrade. Engaging early before final plans and permits are established may offer a competitive advantage.
