Following an updated rate study, staff learned that <br />the City might benefit from outsourcing the administration and maintenance of charging stations to an <br />external service provider. Customers have voiced concerns with the current rates and would like the City <br />to provide competitive pricing. While staff explores potential solutions, it must address concerns that the <br />current rate will increase on January 1, 2026. The proposed action will enable the City to continue <br />recovering the majority of its costs while staff identifies the most economically viable solution to present <br />to the City Council for consideration. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Adopt a resolution amending Resolution No. 16194 to amend the phase in of the adopted electric vehicle <br />charging fee. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN GUIDING PRINCIPLE <br />Excellence in Government Operations <br />7.B. - Page 1 of 8 <br />128
