City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 5 of 9 September 17, 2024
COUNCIL QUESTIONS
Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about measures to prevent customers from moving between two adjacent charging stations. Senior Management Analyst Everett responded that the recommended policy doesn't completely prevent the issue but does promote user turnover and helps recover the City's electricity costs. She stated that users plugging into an adjacent charging station would still be charged the applicable fees, including those for overstaying or dwelling beyond the designated time. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about how to balance access for both employees and residents, considering that employees are typically on- site more often. City Manager Letourneau responded by emphasizing the importance of balancing access to EV chargers for both staff and the public. She noted that staff is aware of this need and considerate in their approach. She also mentioned the significance of having the right number and locations of chargers.
Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about a current formal policy for staff members . City Manager Letourneau responded that the recommended policy would apply to the employees in addition to the public. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about the characteristics of users who use a public EV charging station versus a private EV charging station. Senior Management Analyst Everett responded that the study evaluated city - owned stations and did not address behaviors at privately owned stations. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about the possibility of moving the portable EV charging stations to locations with higher demand. Public Works Director Scott responded that the portable EV charging stations have been moved in the past when use was better suited elsewhere, and that staff c ontinues to monitor the usage. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about the time limit for the future supercharger at City Hall. Senior Management Analyst Everett responded that maintaining consistency in the administration of EV charging is convenient for users and that while faster charging might reduce the likelihood of incurring a three- hour overstay fee, the dwell time fee would still apply due to quicker battery fill -up, ultimately encouraging user turnover. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about the $52,000 dollar energy cost. Senior Management Analyst Everett responded that the $52,000 dollar energy cost was during the study period of 13 months. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about the cost of maintenance of the EV charging stations. Senior Management Analyst Everett responded that the current maintenance costs are averaging $2,000 dollars per year. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about the no fee charge at the City’s portable EV charging stations. Senior Management Analyst Everett indicated that in accordance with the Government Code, a city’s cost recovery fee may not exceed the cost that it incurs to provide the service. She added that since the City does not incur any electricity costs at the portable EV charging stations, as the power is provided from 100% solar renewal energy, it is not appropriate to charge fees for this service. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo inquired about the possibility of recouping the maintenance fees through charge fees from the portable EV charging stations. Public Works Director Scott responded that the vast majority of the EV charging stations that the city is maintaining are permanent EV charging stations.
Council Member Gennawey inquired about the process of use of an EV charging station.
Senior Management Analyst Everett explained that all the EV charging stations are Charge Point stations and Charge Point is the network provider. She added that for a user to be able to utilize the City’s stations they would need to have an account with the Charge Point mobile application, and they would initiate the charge and plug in once they have acknowledged on their account.
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 6 of 9 September 17, 2024
She also added that payment is handled by Charge Point and the City would receive payment at the end of the period for the collected fees. She confirmed that the mobile application will notify the user when their battery is full, in advance of the time limit, and all fees.
Council Member Winstead inquired about a policy for non- EV cars parked in the EV charging stations. Senior Management Analyst Everett responded that the study did not evaluate behavior of non-EV owners parking in designated EV charging station spots and that the proposed policy does not contemplate enforcement of that situation.
Mayor Jennings opened the Public Hearing.
There were no public comments.
Mayor Jennings closed the Public Hearing.
COUNCIL DISCUSSION
Council Member Winstead expressed her support for the EV charging stations and policy, praising the well -thought-out study that highlighted user behavior and preferences, particularly for solar-powered portable charging stations. She shared her appreciation of the staff's recommendations and the fair pricing comparison with neighboring cities, noting the unique situation at the Metrol ink station. She also supported the policy for measured expansion of charging stations as grant funding allows and acknowledged the Traffic and Transportation Com mission's unanimous approval of the policy. Council Member Winstead commended the Traffic and Transportation Commission's minutes and comments, especially Vice Chair Cashion's suggestion about adding charging stations in parks.
Mayor Pro Tem Oddo expressed gratitude for the report and support for the new policy, emphasizing its potential to help the C ity recoup costs. She agreed with Traffic and Transportation Commission Vice Chair Cashion's suggestion to add charging stations in parks, noting Chapparosa Park as a good example. Mayor Pro Tem Oddo highlighted the significant difference in electricity costs between SDG&E and SCE, mentioning that many residents face high bills and advocat ed for exploring options with the Orange Count y Power Authority to reduce costs. She praised the work done on the policy and reiterated her support.
Council Member Gennawey expressed strong support for the recommendations regarding EV charging stations, thanking Kimley Horn for the well -researched study. He encouraged the public to review the extensive information available on the C ity website about the charger installations, which were funded by grants, not C ity funds. Council Member Gennawey expressed some caution about expanding the chargers and managing them, emphasizing the belief that the C ity should not act as a utility provider and that it is not profiting or subsidizing usage. He noted that charging fees will now be implemented after 13 months of free access, which may reduce usage. He anticipates revisiting the policy in a year to assess costs and usage patterns. Council Member Gennawey also inquired whether the estimated $2,000 maintenance costs would be
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 9 September 17, 2024
offset by penalties from overstay and dwell time fees. Senior Management Analyst Everett responded that all revenue from charging fees and overstay or dwell time fees will be pooled together. She expressed confidence that the combined income from the $0. 25 cents per kilowatt hour charging fee and other associated fees will adequately cover the City’s maintenance costs. Council Member Gennawey inquired about how the C ity Council will be informed about the measured expansion of EV charging stations and the process for seeking grants. City Manager Letourneau responded that the City Council will be notified through various channels, including the strategic planning process, budget updates, and regular communications about ongoing projects. She confirmed that there would be constant communication throughout the process. Council Member Gennawey reiterated his belief that government should not act as a middleman utility provider and emphasized the need for limited involvement in such transactions. However, he expressed his support for the policy as presented by staff and stated he would vote in favor of it.
Council Member Johns expressed gratitude to Public Works Director Scott and Kimley Horn for their work. He expressed his support for the policy, stating that while he doesn’t believe the government should provide electricity for electric vehicles, he recognizes the importance of offering access to those who lack alternatives. Council Member Johns expressed curiosity about usage levels once fees are implemented, predicting a significant drop from current numbers at City Hall. He thanked the team for their efforts.
Mayor Jennings expressed gratitude for the excellent report, thanking Senior Management Analyst Everett, Director Scott, and the consulting team for their fantastic work.
A MOTION was made by Council Member Winstead, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Oddo to:
