Council approves lease for two EV charging stalls in downtown parking lot
Summary
The council approved a site-lease agreement with Eugene Hotel for two electric-vehicle charging stalls in the 11th/15th Avenue parking lot; members discussed the fee structure, signage, and maintenance, and staff said the initial implementation will include communications to businesses.
The Board of Public Works offered a resolution approving a site-lease agreement with Eugene Hotel to install and operate two EV charging stalls in the city-owned 15th Avenue parking lot. The resolution notes the stalls will be publicly accessible and the lease charges an annual fee; Eugene Hotel will install and maintain the chargers and collect charging fees from users.
Councilmembers asked about the modest lease fee and whether the city should charge less or allow the hotel to proceed as a community benefit. Staff said the fee reflects use of city property and the city's need to reserve rights if restoration is required; the hotel agreed to the terms. Members also asked whether signage or promotional markings would identify the stalls; staff said the stalls should be publicly available but Eugene Hotel may acknowledge the installation as a courtesy to guests. The council voted to approve the lease by roll-call vote.
