Summary

Staff reported contracting activity for parking-lot and wetland resiliency projects, progress on phase 1 EV charger installations, and program delivery metrics (823 families served, ~2,000 people); commissioners discussed evaluation timelines for consolidating charging locations.

Staff updated the commission on multiple resiliency projects: parking-lot and wetland projects are in contracting with the state, the North Street RFP awaits comment revisions, and structural and survey work is underway for planned sites.

On EV chargers, staff said phase 1 has been installed at multiple sites and that the city will evaluate usage for at least six months before deciding whether to consolidate or relocate units. The presenter reported that resiliency programs have served 823 families (approximately 2,000 people) and that some installations and procurement steps remain on multi-month timelines.

Commissioners asked about charging-station placement, refurbishment of older hardware and whether phase 2 will require removal or repurposing of phase-1 equipment; staff said they would reassess after the six-month evaluation and report back.
