Title
Discuss and consider action regarding the locations for the electric vehicle charging stations proposed and allocate funds from the FY 12 general capital reserve fund.
Summary
The installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations was proposed in conjunction with various projects funded by the general capital reserve fund, but was removed from the list of proposed projects for consideration due to cost and location challenges. Originally, $48,000 was proposed to complete this project. Of the twelve EV charging stations received by the city, two have been installed by the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation (PCDC) at the Renewable Energy Park, also known as 130 Commerce Center, at the southwest corner of Pecan Street and SH 130. The remaining ten stations are proposed as follows:
- Stone Hill Town Center (4)
- Pflugerville Community Library (4)
- Return (2)
