Mr. Garland stated he has heard from neighbors that the project cost will be covered by <br /> assessments. <br /> Chairperson Riley stated assessments were never discussed as an option. <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated neighborhood residents have received 2 letters from <br /> City staff, most recently on September 29, 2016, which clearly outline project details, timeline <br /> and cost. He added a request for partial funding has been submitted to the neighboring <br /> developer, Lennar Homes, and is under consideration. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma requested clarification regarding the proposed project timeline. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated staff recommends that <br /> project approval be considered by the City Council at their next meeting, as spring construction <br /> schedules are filling up. <br /> Chairperson Riley thanked Mr. Garland for his attendance and input. <br /> Parks and Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated additional project <br /> information is available on the City's website under Documents/Public Works Agenda's/2016 <br /> and 2017. <br /> Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to recommend City <br /> Council approval of a landscape renovation plan for Sweet Bay Ridge Development center <br /> medians. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Riley, Councilmembers Johns and Kuzma. Voting <br /> No: None. <br /> 5.02: Request for Rate Change at Electrical Vehicle Charging Station <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riemer reviewed the staff report and rate change proposal. He <br /> added this proposal is the result of feedback from a resident who indicated she would use the <br /> charging station more if it would stop charging a fee for use of the station, when her battery is <br /> fully charged. He noted the charging station currently charges $1/hour and continues to charge <br /> $1/hour until the car is unplugged from the station. Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated <br /> staff recommends a rate reduction at the electrical vehicle charging station. He added the rate <br /> can be easily adjusted. He noted that only one resident comment has been received by City staff <br /> to date and requested input from the Committee. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma stated he would recommend a reduction of.20 per hour, to .80 per hour. <br /> Councilmember Johns stated the charging station generated an income of $19.87, which is <br /> minimal. <br /> Councilmember Kuzma asked whether City staff had considered removing the charging station. <br /> Public Works Committee/January 17, 2017 <br /> Page 3 of 9 <br />
