Andrew Fahlman, Director of Public Works and Planning services, explained that when the project first started the silhouettes were sponsored by indi- viduals and organizations around Melville. “They paid a variety of monies depending on the silhouette they were purchasing. Then once they were up and the lights were installed, the city undertook the maintenance of them and retained ownership of the silhouettes,” Fahlman explained. After several years, the city found that they were spending a lot of time and money fixing the lights. The damages to the lights were caused by a variety of circumstances. “The lights were always exposed to the elements, whether it be snow, freezing; in that area it’s a bit swampy and the lights were susceptible to that. We were spending a lot of money on repairing them and they were down a lot, where half a silhouette was lit up and the other half wasn’t. It didn’t look very good at all,” he said. The budget for putting up new lights was up to $5,000 but after a member of Rodz N’ Relics, who works for Public Works, heard about the project they volun- teered their time which cut the budget down. “One of the people on Rodz N’ Relics work for Pub- lic Works and the city - after he heard what we were doing on the management side in planning for this project, he approached the car club and they volun- teered their time to install the lights. I will still have to hire an electrician to wire them in, so there will be some costs, but a lot less than the original $5,000 quote we originally got,” Fahlman mentioned. “It’s an excellent project and hats off to Rodz N’ Relics club for stepping up and helping out the com- munity and saving some money. It’s one of those feel- good projects that we can offer citizens and passers-by our community.” Fahlman explained that the groups around Melville who volunteer their time like Rodz N’ Relics are ex- tremely important to the community.
