SUMMARY STATEMENT:
City staff from Community and Economic Development and Public Works have been communicating with Lindsey Fraser, Project Developer from Commercial Charging – Northwest, about the opportunity
to place Tesla Level 3 chargers in the City of McCall. Several public parking locations have been evaluated, and it was originally recommended that the Mill Street Parking Lot would
be the preferred location for the 4 chargers (8 spaces). After introducing the project and location, there were numerous questions about EVs, the project, and concerns about the Mill
Street parking lot location. It was decided to continue the item so staff could prepare more information about EVs, have the Project Representative present the project and answer any
questions, and have staff provide look at alternative public parking lot locations. Attached is a summary of meeting notes for the potential project. Staff has been working on getting
EV chargers to McCall for several years and is familiar with the funding sources and challenges. This opportunity for this project is unique because it allows the City to determine
the location and provide a Level 3 charging station to the community, there are no infrastructure cost or maintenance cost to the City, the project is completed by an experienced vendor,
and the City will receive annual revenue of $20,000 with an annual increase.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Review potential project locations
Direct Staff to develop a lease for the EV charging station project.
