It was a clearly worded motion designed to move the council off dead center. It failed for lack of a second.

After another few minutes of discussion, Susan Parrish offered a substitute motion, identical to Gooch’s except that she preferred the more traditional fixture designed by Trimblehouse.

After more discussion on some minor amendments, her motion passed 4-3. She was joined by Mark Bailey, Janice Moffett and Miller.

Fisher prefaced his “no” vote by saying, “the townspeople have spoken and they have chosen the Acorn.” He said he had not seconded Gooch’s motion because he wants to heed the survey and put the Acorn lights on Main and Gay streets and the more traditional fixture on the side streets.

Immediately after the vote was tallied, Bailey made a motion to stall any action to give Reynolds a chance to check with other towns in PotEd’s service area for support for a lower wattage bulb.

Morehouse was incredulous. “We just voted to do something and now you want to delay it?!” he said.

Bailey agreed to amend his motion to delay action only “to the end of the year.”
