Board pauses on pay-to-charge EV unit, leaves conduit in place for possible future install
Summary
The board deferred a decision on a pay-to-charge EV charger after discussing service-contract costs and uncertain demand; the electrician installed conduit so the site can be connected later without additional trenching.
Board members reviewed an EV-charger option the contractor had included in early plans but said the item was pulled from the immediate budget because of cost and uncertainty over usage. The vendor model discussed would run a pay-for-service contract; members worried about low usage creating an ongoing expense for the library.
To preserve future options the electrician installed conduit and pull-strings so a charger pad can be connected later without further site excavation. The board agreed to revisit the matter in the next couple of months once they have more information on expected usage and cost-sharing options.
