THE CITY OF 14 PLEz�S�4NTONo CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT April 17, 2012 Operations Services TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE TO ADD A FEE STRUCTURE FOR PUBLIC ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS OPERATED BY THE CITY SUMMARY In 2011, the City received a grant to obtain five electric vehicle (EV) charging stations from Coulomb Technologies (Coulomb) for public use. The stations were installed in early 2012 and made available initially at no cost to the general public as a way of encouraging usage. At the time, staff indicated that a recommendation regarding an appropriate fee schedule would be developed in April 2012 after there had been time to assess the systems. As a result, staff is now recommending amending the City Master Fee Schedule to incorporate electric vehicle charging stations. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached resolution amending the City Master Fee Schedule to include electric vehicle charging stations and authorizing the City Manager to adjust these rates as necessary to recover actual costs reflecting PG&E rate adjustments. The recommended fee is $1 per hour. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The City will incur expenses for electricity and payment processing at the charging stations. However, these costs are covered by the rate structure and as a result, the EV charging stations will be operated at no net cost to the City.
