Rhinebeck board authorizes short-deadline grants, task order for EV charger grant and renews ChargePoint service
Summary
Trustees authorized submission of a local government efficiency grant to relocate a shared server, approved a $3,800 task order to pursue a level‑3 EV charger grant, and renewed a ChargePoint monitoring/service agreement for $4,220.
Trustees authorized staff to pursue a short-deadline Local Government Efficiency grant (application due Feb. 4) to explore relocating a shared municipal server from Town Hall to Village Hall. The relocation would require creating a conditioned room; trustees said the town is supportive of moving the server and the village has contacted its IT provider (PCA) for cost estimates.
On electric vehicle infrastructure, the board discussed installing a single-stall Level 3 DC fast charger in the municipal lot. The board approved a task order (listed in the meeting as bond task order number O12026) from Tye & Bond (or the consultant on file) for $3,800 to prepare the paperwork needed to apply for the zero-emission vehicle infrastructure grant (deadline mid-February). The $3,800 would come from the contingency fund and be reimbursed to contingency if the grant is awarded.
Separately the board approved renewing the ChargePoint monitoring and service agreement for the village's Level 2 chargers at a cost of $4,220 for the year; the packet included a detailed cost breakdown.
What happens next: staff will continue to refine grant requests, gather cost estimates, and submit the applications within the stated deadlines. The consultant task order will produce the grant application materials for the EV charger funding.
Provenance: the shared-server grant, the EV charger task order (O12026 for $3,800) and the ChargePoint renewal ($4,220) were discussed and approved during the meeting.
