Museum says upgrading EV charging station would cost more than $6,500; board prefers removal
Summary
John Stiles told the council that the museum would need to spend more than $6,500 to upgrade its electric vehicle charging station and that the Lincoln Historical Society board considers the charger a nuisance and would prefer it removed.
John Stiles addressed the council about the electric vehicle charging station at the museum, saying the Museum would have to spend more than $6,500 to upgrade the station. Stiles added that the current board of directors at the Lincoln Historical Society consider the charger a nuisance and would prefer it removed rather than upgraded.
His remarks followed an approach from Councilmember Lance Strite about transferring responsibility for the charger. The council recorded Stiles’s estimate of the upgrade cost but did not take formal action on the item during the meeting. The mayor and administrator noted the funding threshold and bid concerns on other facility repairs earlier in the meeting.
If the museum and board proceed with removal or a transfer of responsibility, staff follow-up and any lease or maintenance agreements would be required on a future agenda.
