I also realize that our <br /> Strategic Plan is not yet finished and so we have not prioritized "Climate Action"vs"Fiscal Responsibility".This is the sort <br /> of debate that the Strategic Plan must resolve.Yes,we care about the environment and have CAP 2.0 goals to electrify <br /> our municipal fleet and off-road equipment, but at what cost?Within the scope of CAP 2.0,the diesel option will always <br /> cost less than the electric or hybrid. <br /> My vote is for a full-electric street sweeper at the expense of discretionary spending. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Todd Nelson <br /> Aanwk <br /> 2 <br />
