Request Action:
Pass a Resolution to approve the Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Agreement with FP&L
Need:
To approve the Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Agreement.
Summary Explanation/ Background:
A quick follow up of the meeting we had with Peter Martinez of FPL. Both Martin and I asked him specific questions regarding how their plan fits for us as a city. After hearing his answers to both my questions and Martin’s questions, this program is a slam dunk winner for the city. In my opinion, and I think that Martin feels the same way, the most important thing is that we must act quickly on this due to the limited number of these stations available since they are nearing the end of their allocation. I am sure that Martin will also fill you in on his opinion after his questions and concerns were addressed by Mr. Martinez in this meeting. Again, I believe we must act on this generous offer rather quickly to assure we are not being left out after allocations are exhausted.
