Resident asks about broken EV charger; borough says repair cost exceeds revenue, may seek grants
Summary
A resident asked why the EV charger in the Borough Hall parking lot is not working. Borough Administrator Andrew Huisman said repair costs exceed revenue from the charger; Borough Attorney Peg Schaffer suggested the borough look into available grants.
During public comment at the Aug. 5 Lake Como Borough Council meeting, resident Diane Kolodzinski asked about an EV charger in the Borough Hall parking lot that "has not been working for a while." Borough Administrator Andrew Huisman responded that the cost to repair the charger "far exceeds what the Borough makes from it." Borough Attorney Peg Schaffer added that there may be grants the borough can pursue to address EV charger repairs or replacement.
The minutes record the resident's concern and officials' initial responses but do not include a repair estimate, vendor information, or a specific funding source. The council did not vote on any immediate repair or replacement at the meeting.
The borough indicated it will explore grant options; no timeline or commitment to repair was recorded in the minutes. The council's next regular meeting is scheduled for Aug. 19, 2025, where follow-up could be reported.
