Council approves EV‑charger contract for police station, project paid from energy reserve
Summary
Council unanimously approved a consent-agenda contract with Alliance Electric to install up to 16 EV chargers at the police station; councilors said the work is funded from an energy project reserve fund and could receive a 30% federal credit. City staff will return with final tariff details.
The City Council approved, on a unanimous consent vote, a contract authorizing the city manager to execute documents with Alliance Electric to install EV chargers and related equipment at the police station. Councilor Andrew highlighted that the project will be paid from the city's energy project reserve fund—savings the city built up from prior energy-efficiency measures—and that the city expects to receive a 30% federal tax credit for the installation.
Lou Brzee, the city's energy project manager, told the council: "The plan right now is to keep the rate the same as what we're using for all the other locations." Councilors asked staff to report back on whether chargers would be subject to state tax and to confirm the initial tariff and any short-term promotional rate.
