During this meeting, it was decided that we will be moving forward with the mass install of silicone strap lights. MTD will purchase these lights, since the cost is same as last year. We can get 1250 light sets for $6000.
As discussed in the last meeting, TBP will not participate in this event.
UIUC, MTD, Urbana, and Champaign confirmed that they will be providing funds for this year's Light the Night - $1500 each.
Following the Light the Night 2020 - Initial Planning Meeting, it was decided that this year we will install the silicone strap lights only. Evan Alvarez and/or Cyhtia Hoyle will purchase the lights and send the quote with the share to each funding agency.
University of Illinois organized a meeting for all participating units - F&S, CBC, Urbana, Champaign, MTD, CCRPC, TBP, and CCB. Please see attached the notes from our meeting.

Jennifer Carson from McKinley Health Center provided 400 (200 each for two locations) reflective orange slap bands for the Light the Night event that have imprinted on them our 24/7 Dial-A-Nurse. These are great for being seen in the evening hours.
Jen dropped them off in Sarthak's office at 9 am on October 3.
All, Abbreviated week for me as I was out of town Thursday and Friday. I’ll check in with my staff this week and see how things went in my absence.
There are 6 bikes on the outside rack from this weekend but unfortunately one or two are locked up as if it’s a regular bike rack. Whoops!
Bring your bicycle to Alma Mater Plaza or the Hallene Gateway (Illinois Street and Lincoln Avenue) on Thursday, October 3 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. for the free installation of bicycle light sets. Light the Night strives to improve the visibility of bicyclists in Champaign-Urbana and provide general bike safety information. Free, on-site bicycle registration will also be available. October 3, 4–7 pm
Information on Light the Night was approved to be posted in eWeek (for faculty and staff), iNews (for Undergraduates), iSEE, and ISSS Newsletters.
