West Linn Sustainability Advisory Board approves minutes, assigns action leads and hears EV charger cost concerns
Summary
The Sustainability Advisory Board approved February minutes, assigned members to priority action items (electric landscaping equipment, compost education, outreach at the Old Fashioned Fair) and heard that replacing a single EV charging unit can cost roughly $14,000 plus installation; a repository for board materials was agreed to be pursued.
Members of the West Linn Sustainability Advisory Board approved the February minutes after Greg moved that the board approve them and the Chair called for a voice vote; the motion passed unanimously. The board then reviewed outstanding action items and members volunteered (or tentatively volunteered) to lead projects on gas equipment modernization, recycling and compost education, a repair-and-reuse directory and outreach tied to the Old Fashioned Fair.
The board received an operations update from Dylan, who described maintenance challenges with existing EV chargers and said one vendor has ceased support; "So it's, like, $14,000 to replace 1," he said about replacement costs. Members agreed to pursue a shared repository (a city SharePoint or cloud folder) to store project documents and grant examples instead of relying on email threads, and flagged the city's upcoming website replacement and FOIA/search considerations when determining how and where to publish resources.
