The City is fully committed to the Climate Action Plan; however, we must be <br /> strategic about the way we utilize funding for purchases that will help us fall in compliance with federal and <br /> state regulations. Even though electrical options may be available for the City to purchase,the City doesn't <br /> yet have the infrastructure to support fully electrical vehicles/equipment. In this instance, the recommended <br /> purchase of a street sweeper is to replace a vehicle that is well over 30 years old—when the average life cycle <br /> of a street sweeper is between 5-7 years. This purchase is not a want, but a must for the City. With current <br /> CARIB regulations, the City will be facing fines and penalties moving forward if we do not make this purchase <br /> "mind continue use of the existing street sweeper. Several years from now, we anticipate the City will be ready <br /> fiscally, as well as structurally, to consider a full electric sweeper in the City fleet. <br /> Thanks, <br /> Tamara Baptista <br /> Interim Director of Operations and Water Utilities <br /> D: 925-931-5507 <br /> F: 925-931-5595 <br /> tbaptistaCa)_cityofpleasantonca.gov <br /> City of Pleasanton P.O.
