10. NEW BUSINESS
A. ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 22-5625 APPROVING NEW EV CHARGE
STATION FEES AND RESOLUTION NO. 22-5626 AMENDING THE MASTER
FEES AND FINE SCHEDULE
The City Council is requested to adopt the resolutions to create a new EV Charge
Station Use Fee and EV Charge Station Penalty Fee, and to add the fees to the
City's Master Fees and Fines Schedule.
Parks and Recreation Director Matsumoto gave a summary of the staff report and
noted a change to staff's recommendation on late fee for cars still plugged in after
the 30 minutes grace period. Staffs recommendation was to implement a $1
overstay fee for every 30 minutes, however, the application managing the EV
charging stations, Charge Point, only allows charges on hourly increments.
Therefore, the new late fee would be $2 per hour instead of $1 per 30 minutes.
City Council asked questions and made comments about the proposed fees and
time limitation for charging at the Primrose EV charge stations.
Mayor Sternquist opened public comment.
Steve Stafford, resident, commented on possible electrical concerns for installation
of EV charging plug in residential homes and on the charging station hours.

Hannah Kwok, resident, asked a question regarding the use of the EV charging
station.
Parks and Recreation Director Matsumoto responded that the EV charging stations
are managed through an application. If there is no waiting on the queue, then users
can plug in their car again, after unplugging, to continue to charge their car. But if
there are others waiting, then they would need to schedule another session and wait
their turn.
Hearing no further request to speak, Mayor Sternquist closed public comment.
City Council made final comments about fees and time limitation for using the
Primrose EV charge stations.
Councilmember Chavez made a motion to:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 22-5625 approving EV Charge Station Use Fee and EV
Charge Station Penalty Fee and implement on October 1, 2022 with the
amendment that the EV Charging Stations would be available to the public until
2 a.m.; and
2. Adopt Resolution No. 22-5626 to amend the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Master Fees
and Fines Schedule to include the adopted EV Charge Station fees with an
amendment to the late fee after the 30 minutes grace period from $1 per 30
minutes to $2 per hour.
