Board agrees to apply for EV charger grant and considers ARPA to prepay park‑lights contract
Summary
Board approved applying for a grant for EV chargers at the community center and Tops parking and discussed using ARPA funds to prepay a $47,250 park‑lights contract so remaining ARPA dollars can be used toward Grove Road engineering.
The board approved a resolution authorizing staff to apply for a grant to install EV charging infrastructure at the community center and the Tops parking area. Council members discussed level‑2 and fast‑charger options and the need to separate quotes per location for the contract.
Separately, the supervisor reported a signed Schumacher Construction contract for park lights totaling $47,250 and proposed using remaining ARPA funds to prepay the lights contract if the board preferred that to using occupancy tax funds. Several members supported obligating ARPA funds now to avoid losing grant‑period obligations and to free the balance for bridge engineering. The board voted to pursue the EV charger grant application and directed staff to coordinate permitting and bidding as required.
