Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
During the August 3, 2021, Board of Supervisors General Meeting the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors signed Resolution No. 21-117 declaring its intent to reduce and eliminate the carbon footprint of buildings and operations of the County of Mendocino, with an initial investment of at least $2,000,000. Among the resolutions was direction to staff to leverage this investment with grants and low interest financing resources.
On December 7, 2021, a preliminary audit of County facilities was presented by the General Services Agency This audit included a variety of Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) project suggestions that would offer the greatest return on investment of limited County funds. Among the recommendations was the installation of electric vehicle charging stations.
On July 25, 2023, the Board of Supervisors accepted a Carbon Footprint Reduction Priority Plan which included installation of new Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.
Summary of Request:
Sonoma Clean Power Authority (SCPA) has proposed a project to install four workplace Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at the Avila Coastal Center in Fort Bragg as part of their Workplace Electric Vehicle Charging Research Project including incentives from SCPA in the amount of $5,000 per charger. While proposed as workplace EV Chargers for employees (provided at cost by the County) the County is free to use the chargers of fleet charging after hours. This project provides for a very cost-effective opportunity to install chargers at a County site in Fort Bragg, making the use of electric vehicles feasible for County travel between Ukiah and Fort Bragg. This item authorizes staff to create the project, negotiate the participation agreement with SCPA and appropriates up to $75,000, $55,000 of which will be from the Carbon Footprint Reduction set-aside fund with the remaining $20,000 funded through the SCPA program.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not authorize the project and provide direction to staff.
