Legislature approves $1.485 million bond for county electric-vehicle charging stations
Summary
Ulster County on July 15 authorized up to $1,485,000 in serial bonds to buy and install electric vehicle charging stations at county locations; one legislator noted stations will mostly be in Kingston and Ellenville and asked about southern-county coverage.
The Ulster County Legislature unanimously adopted Resolution 3-22 on July 15, authorizing purchase and installation of electric-vehicle charging stations for the Department of Public Works and authorizing issuance of up to $1,485,000 in serial bonds to pay the cost.
Roll-call statements recorded multiple yes votes. Minority concerns focused on geographic distribution: Legislator Roberts said he would vote yes but asked lawmakers to note that the charging stations will be concentrated in Kingston and Ellenville with none in the southern portion of the county.
The bond authorization allows the county to purchase equipment and pay for installation at county-owned properties; specific site locations and installation timelines will be developed by Public Works. The resolution passed 23-0.
