Glens Falls board reviews proposed EV charging station; insurance and placement to return next month
Summary
Board members discussed a second test placement for an EV charging station by Gold Post Inc. near 22 Bay Street and asked staff to confirm additional liability insurance and return the item to next month's agenda for formal approval.
Under new business the board discussed a proposed second test placement of an EV charging station by Gold Post Inc. at approximately 22 Bay Street, behind the 333 Glen Park garage. The location was authorized by Jeff Flag, the city's economic development director, but board members repeatedly asked staff to confirm liability coverage before final approval.
Unidentified Speaker 1 said the city appreciates charging infrastructure but stressed that "we'll make sure we've got the liability insurance." Several members noted the city previously received state grants that funded earlier chargers and that the plan is to locate chargers around the city and contract operations so the city does not maintain them long-term.
The board did not vote. Members asked staff to request higher insurance limits from the vendor and to place the item on next month's agenda for potential formal approval.
