city's ev public ev 80 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:55,152 charging program. 81 00:02:55,152 --> 00:02:58,752 >> so tonight we'll cover a bit 82 00:02:58,789 --> 00:02:59,422 of background on the chargers 83 00:02:59,422 --> 00:02:59,990 that we have and how they 84 00:02:59,990 --> 00:03:02,326 relate to the city's 85 00:03:02,326 --> 00:03:03,193 sustainability goals. 86 00:03:03,193 --> 00:03:05,929 Then we'll give more detail on 87 00:03:05,929 --> 00:03:06,529 the current state of the 88 00:03:06,529 --> 00:03:07,264 chargers and some of the 89 00:03:07,264 --> 00:03:10,264 performance gaps that we'd like 90 00:03:10,367 --> 00:03:11,100 to address and some of the 91 00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:13,401 opportunities that we came 92 00:03:13,571 --> 00:03:14,238 across in the analysis and then 93 00:03:14,238 --> 00:03:17,238 we'll talk briefly about the 94 00:03:17,274 --> 00:03:18,508 next steps. 95 00:03:18,508 --> 00:03:21,178 >> so to get started with the 96 00:03:21,178 --> 00:03:23,178 sustainability goals. 97 00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:28,490 >> so the city adopted a 98 00:03:29,420 --> 00:03:30,420 sustainability action plan in 99 00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:33,420 2023 which is how we're really 100 00:03:33,924 --> 00:03:34,658 organizing all the city's 101 00:03:34,658 --> 00:03:37,580 efforts across different topics 102 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,928 to reach state sustainability 103 00:03:37,928 --> 00:03:38,496 goals and also to reach the 104 00:03:38,496 --> 00:03:40,496 council's priority of 105 00:03:40,564 --> 00:03:41,131 environmental sustainability 106 00:03:41,131 --> 00:03:43,131 and climate action. 107 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:45,670 And for walnut creek, our 108 00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:46,370 largest area when we look at 109 00:03:46,370 --> 00:03:48,770 our greenhouse gas inventories 110 00:03:48,839 --> 00:03:49,807 we try to measure community 111 00:03:49,807 --> 00:03:50,107 wide where our emissions coming 112 00:03:50,107 --> 00:03:50,708 from. 113 00:03:50,708 --> 00:03:53,108 The largest category is 114 00:03:53,711 --> 00:03:54,478 transportation and that's you 115 00:03:54,478 --> 00:03:55,179 really do as you all are very 116 00:03:55,179 --> 00:03:58,179 familiar with to our suburban 117 00:03:58,416 --> 00:03:59,150 development you know we're very 118 00:03:59,150 --> 00:04:01,151 dependent on passenger vehicles 119 00:04:01,151 --> 00:04:02,153 for folks to get around. 120 00:04:02,153 --> 00:04:04,555 And right now most of those are 121 00:04:04,555 --> 00:04:05,220 gas powered internal combustion 122 00:04:05,220 --> 00:04:05,790 engine vehicles. 123 00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:08,992 So really from the levers that 124 00:04:08,992 --> 00:04:09,726 the city has control over 125 00:04:09,726 --> 00:04:12,126 encouraging folks to transition 126 00:04:13,597 --> 00:04:14,265 ideally to drive less and then 127 00:04:14,265 --> 00:04:16,734 if you are going to drive to 128 00:04:16,734 --> 00:04:17,368 drive evs as one of the biggest 129 00:04:17,368 --> 00:04:18,200 ways that we can hopefully 130 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,402 bring down greenhouse gas 131 00:04:21,139 --> 00:04:21,839 emissions from the community 132 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,775 and our impact on the climate. 133 00:04:24,775 --> 00:04:25,409 >> so because of that we have 134 00:04:25,409 --> 00:04:27,912 some goals in he plan that 135 00:04:27,912 --> 00:04:28,479 really relate to ev hargers 136 00:04:28,479 --> 00:04:30,879 and other ev adoption. 137 00:04:31,916 --> 00:04:32,717 >> and one of the goals is to 138 00:04:32,717 --> 00:04:35,853 have the city have on our 139 00:04:35,853 --> 00:04:38,253 property 70 charging port ports 140 00:04:38,489 --> 00:04:39,223 by 2030 and we'll get into a 141 00:04:39,223 --> 00:04:42,930 bit more detail on what we have 142 00:04:42,930 --> 00:04:42,626 now but we are on track with 143 00:04:42,626 --> 00:04:44,626 our fleet chargers. 144 00:04:45,463 --> 00:04:46,164 We have I think it's 52 right 145 00:04:46,164 --> 00:04:50,364 now so we're we do think we're 146 00:04:50,402 --> 00:04:50,668 well on track to meet that goal 147 00:04:50,668 --> 00:04:51,635 . 148 00:04:51,635 --> 00:04:55,235 So before the plan was adopted 149 00:04:55,306 --> 00:04:55,673 we already had public ev 150 00:04:55,673 --> 00:04:57,608 chargers. 151 00:04:57,608 --> 00:04:58,642 The first ones went in about 152 00:04:58,642 --> 00:05:01,645 ten years ago and so they that 153 00:05:01,645 --> 00:05:02,380 program itself has its own set 154 00:05:02,380 --> 00:05:02,880 of goals to make sure that it's 155 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,880 being successful. 156 00:05:05,483 --> 00:05:05,984 So these are the four areas 157 00:05:05,984 --> 00:05:08,384 that we look at. 158 00:05:08,987 --> 00:05:09,587 First, we want to make sure 159 00:05:09,587 --> 00:05:11,289 that the infrastructure 160 00:05:11,289 --> 00:05:11,956 sustainable and we think f 161 00:05:11,956 --> 00:05:12,657 that in two different ways. 162 00:05:12,657 --> 00:05:15,559 One, we provide this asset of 163 00:05:15,559 --> 00:05:16,194 parking to the community and so 164 00:05:16,194 --> 00:05:18,262 we want to for folks to be 165 00:05:18,262 --> 00:05:19,164 drivers, we want them to have 166 00:05:19,164 --> 00:05:19,898 access to chargers but we want 167 00:05:19,898 --> 00:05:23,000 to make sure those chargers are 168 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,668 assets that are lasting that 169 00:05:23,668 --> 00:05:24,369 are in good quality and that 170 00:05:24,369 --> 00:05:25,603 are something that can be well 171 00:05:25,603 --> 00:05:26,804 maintained and managed. 172 00:05:26,804 --> 00:05:30,107 And then once we put that 173 00:05:30,107 --> 00:05:30,709 infrastructure in anything we 174 00:05:30,709 --> 00:05:31,342 have access to for the 175 00:05:31,342 --> 00:05:34,146 community we want it to be 176 00:05:34,146 --> 00:05:34,880 highly utilized so make sure 177 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,482 that folks are charging at them 178 00:05:37,482 --> 00:05:38,183 well we also want to make ure 179 00:05:38,183 --> 00:05:39,830 that you know, we're filling a 180 00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:42,354 gap in the market and so the 181 00:05:42,354 --> 00:05:43,540 folks we want to the folks most 182 00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:45,557 to wouldn't be able to charge 183 00:05:45,557 --> 00:05:46,257 somewhere else or would have 184 00:05:46,257 --> 00:05:46,891 challenges charging elsewhere 185 00:05:46,891 --> 00:05:49,294 and this is something that 186 00:05:49,294 --> 00:05:49,961 might drive them towards 187 00:05:49,961 --> 00:05:50,361 switching to an ev by having 188 00:05:50,361 --> 00:05:52,361 this access. 189 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:53,899 >> and then as with anything we 190 00:05:53,899 --> 00:05:54,499 do we want to make sure folks 191 00:05:54,499 --> 00:05:56,334 have a superior customer 192 00:05:56,334 --> 00:05:58,734 experience when they are 193 00:06:00,171 --> 00:06:01,172 utilizing our programs. 194 00:06:01,172 --> 00:06:03,808 >> so getting into the detail 195 00:06:03,808 --> 00:06:04,810 of the chargers that we own. 196 00:06:04,810 --> 00:06:07,646 So the next slide after this is 197 00:06:07,646 --> 00:06:08,246 a map with kind of laying out 198 00:06:08,246 --> 00:06:08,914 where they are. 199 00:06:08,914 --> 00:06:11,182 But right now we have 40 200 00:06:11,182 --> 00:06:11,582 chargers that are available to 201 00:06:11,582 --> 00:06:12,417 the public. 202 00:06:12,417 --> 00:06:14,817 So 40 ports across 23 chargers. 203 00:06:15,621 --> 00:06:16,321 So some of the chargers 204 00:06:16,321 --> 00:06:19,321 structures they have two ports 205 00:06:20,250 --> 00:06:20,591 on them and they're located in 206 00:06:20,591 --> 00:06:21,260 our downtown garages. 207 00:06:21,260 --> 00:06:23,261 And then we have a couple 208 00:06:23,261 --> 00:06:24,295

and 215 00:06:34,673 --> 00:06:37,673 walnut creek looking to charge 216 00:06:37,943 --> 00:06:38,943 where they go this is an area 217 00:06:38,943 --> 00:06:39,511 where we're planning to do more 218 00:06:39,511 --> 00:06:41,511 detailed analysis on. 219 00:06:42,380 --> 00:06:42,948 Right now we only ave data 220 00:06:42,948 --> 00:06:43,348 from some other public 221 00:06:43,348 --> 00:06:45,348 aggregators. 222 00:06:46,218 --> 00:06:46,551 And it's a quickly changing 223 00:06:46,551 --> 00:06:47,319 market. 224 00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,222 So our estimate there is that 225 00:06:50,222 --> 00:06:50,922 there's somewhere from 150 to 226 00:06:50,922 --> 00:06:53,858 250 chargers in the radius of 227 00:06:53,858 --> 00:06:54,225 walnut creek and our very close 228 00:06:54,225 --> 00:06:56,225 neighbors. 229 00:06:56,628 --> 00:06:57,629 So our our public charging 230 00:06:57,629 --> 00:06:58,430 ports of 40 that is a chunk of 231 00:06:58,430 --> 00:07:02,630 that but there are a lot of 232 00:07:02,834 --> 00:07:04,690 other options out there now. 233 00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:04,237 >> so these are the maps I was 234 00:07:04,237 --> 00:07:06,237 - 235 00:07:06,237 --> 00:07:07,272 mentioning. 236 00:07:07,272 --> 00:07:11,760 So the one on the left shows 237 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:11,743 the green dots are from the us 238 00:07:11,743 --> 00:07:14,179 department of energy data on 239 00:07:14,179 --> 00:07:14,980 where publicly available 240 00:07:14,980 --> 00:07:17,980 chargers are and then the 241 00:07:18,283 --> 00:07:19,351 orange ones are our chargers. 242 00:07:19,351 --> 00:07:22,421 And I'll just point out if I 243 00:07:22,421 --> 00:07:23,289 know how to use y clicker. 244 00:07:23,289 --> 00:07:24,256 So you'll see this orange dot 245 00:07:24,256 --> 00:07:26,858 here is on the one on the left. 246 00:07:26,858 --> 00:07:27,559 And it's not on the one on the 247 00:07:27,559 --> 00:07:29,861 right and that's because these 248 00:07:29,861 --> 00:07:30,295 are our fleet only chargers at 249 00:07:30,295 --> 00:07:31,130 the courtyard. 250 00:07:31,130 --> 00:07:31,697 So those are our chargers that 251 00:07:31,697 --> 00:07:34,697 we own but they're not 252 00:07:34,733 --> 00:07:35,434 available to the public or the 253 00:07:35,434 --> 00:07:36,134 one on the right just kind of 254 00:07:36,134 --> 00:07:37,602 highlights what we just talked 255 00:07:37,602 --> 00:07:38,237 about in the past slide. 256 00:07:38,237 --> 00:07:40,506 Most of the publicly owned 257 00:07:40,506 --> 00:07:41,573 chargers that are available to 258 00:07:41,573 --> 00:07:42,174 the public are in downtown and 259 00:07:42,174 --> 00:07:44,143 then we also have a few 260 00:07:44,143 --> 00:07:46,143 overarching plans. 261 00:07:48,213 --> 00:07:49,247 So taking a step back from 262 00:07:49,247 --> 00:07:49,981 that, you know what what do you 263 00:07:49,981 --> 00:07:53,850 need to make sure that you have 264 00:07:53,850 --> 00:07:53,418 a modern successful ev charging 265 00:07:53,418 --> 00:07:54,119 program? 266 00:07:54,119 --> 00:07:57,256 And what's shown on this slide 267 00:07:57,256 --> 00:07:57,923 here is how a lot of public 268 00:07:57,923 --> 00:07:59,923 agencies and municipalities 269 00:08:00,826 --> 00:08:01,126 have thought about it for a 270 00:08:01,126 --> 00:08:01,927 while. 271 00:08:01,927 --> 00:08:02,528 You just need a charger and 272 00:08:02,528 --> 00:08:04,764 then the cars will come. 273 00:08:04,764 --> 00:08:05,364 And that's how a lot of the 274 00:08:05,364 --> 00:08:06,198 grant funding is right? 275 00:08:06,198 --> 00:08:08,633 They'll have you pay to put the 276 00:08:08,633 --> 00:08:09,401 actual thing in the ground and 277 00:08:09,401 --> 00:08:10,269 then kind of the high level you 278 00:08:10,269 --> 00:08:11,603 think of it you're good to go 279 00:08:11,603 --> 00:08:12,471 then. 280 00:08:12,471 --> 00:08:15,541 But actually there's a lot of 281 00:08:15,541 --> 00:08:16,542 other elements that you need to 282 00:08:16,542 --> 00:08:17,242 make sure that it's successful. 283 00:08:17,242 --> 00:08:20,880 So kind of you don't have to 284 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,346 absorb all of all of what's on 285 00:08:21,346 --> 00:08:22,800 the slide here. 286 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,316 I think the three things I want 287 00:08:24,316 --> 00:08:24,951 to point out is you need two 288 00:08:24,951 --> 00:08:27,351 different types of staff. 289 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,621 You need staff who can provide 290 00:08:28,621 --> 00:08:29,321 maintenance on the charger so 291 00:08:29,321 --> 00:08:31,423 actually switch out components 292 00:08:31,423 --> 00:08:32,224 whether that's them degrading 293 00:08:32,224 --> 00:08:35,127 over time vandalism for lots of 294 00:08:35,127 --> 00:08:36,610 different reasons. 295 00:08:36,610 --> 00:08:36,361 the chargers need they need 296 00:08:36,361 --> 00:08:38,361 work. 297 00:08:38,764 --> 00:08:39,599 And then you also need olks on 298 00:08:39,599 --> 00:08:40,299 the customer support side so 299 00:08:40,299 --> 00:08:43,202 that when a customer is using 300 00:08:43,202 --> 00:08:43,869 the charger they can reach 301 00:08:43,869 --> 00:08:46,239 someone if they're having an 302 00:08:46,239 --> 00:08:47,400 issue and then you need some 303 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,942 data tracking to make sure that 304 00:08:49,942 --> 00:08:50,676 the chargers are being 305 00:08:50,676 --> 00:08:51,377 communicated with and that also 306 00:08:51,377 --> 00:08:53,379 we can kind of see how they're 307 00:08:53,379 --> 00:08:55,779 being used and operated. 308 00:08:57,150 --> 00:08:57,983 >> so ight now our model we 309 00:08:57,983 --> 00:09:00,983 definitely have this part down 310 00:09:01,353 --> 00:09:02,870 but we've been sort of using a 311 00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:05,870 few different structures to try 312 00:09:07,527 --> 00:09:08,393 and fit in the other pieces and 313 00:09:08,393 --> 00:09:11,530 so the way that that's looking 314 00:09:11,530 --> 00:09:12,231 for us is that there's nobody 315 00:09:12,231 --> 00:09:14,934 in the city who it's their 316 00:09:14,934 --> 00:09:15,501 their ain responsibility to 317 00:09:15,501 --> 00:09:16,168 manage the chargers. 318 00:09:16,168 --> 00:09:16,836 It's sort of something that 319 00:09:16,836 --> 00:09:19,338 different teams are doing on 320 00:09:19,338 --> 00:09:19,638 top of work that they already 321 00:09:19,638 --> 00:09:20,306 have. 322 00:09:20,306 --> 00:09:23,710 And so from their labor from 323 00:09:23,710 --> 00:09:24,377 materials and mainly from the 324 00:09:24,377 --> 00:09:26,777 electricity going into them 325 00:09:27,460 --> 00:09:27,980 we're spending approximately 326 00:09:27,980 --> 00:09:30,980 $250,000 a year to provide this 327 00:09:31,150 --> 00:09:33,519 asset to the public. 328 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:34,453 As I said before we started 329 00:09:34,453 --> 00:09:35,121 this about ten years ago, some 330 00:09:35,121 --> 00:09:37,590 of the chargers are original 331 00:09:37,590 --> 00:09:38,390 and so we're starting to see 332 00:09:38,390 --> 00:09:38,858 the aging in that 333 00:09:38,858 --> 00:09:40,858 infrastructure. 334 00:09:40,893 --> 00:09:41,827 But we've also seen a lot of 335 00:09:41,827 --> 00:09:42,161 them go out for various 336 00:09:42,161 --> 00:09:42,928 reasons. 337 00:09:42,928 --> 00:09:45,865 So we're trying to keep on top 338 00:09:45,865 --> 00:09:48,935 of the equipment that we have 339 00:09:48,935 --> 00:09:49,568 and then because we're managing 340 00:09:49,568 --> 00:09:52,105 it all internally we have 341 00:09:52,105 --> 00:09:53,139 different systems. 342 00:09:53,139 --> 00:09:56,442 We don't have the most modern 343 00:09:56,442 --> 00:09:57,109 data tracking on you know, 344 00:09:57,109 --> 00:09:57,476 who's using the chargers for 345 00:09:57,476 --> 00:09:59,476 how long. 346 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:01,614 A lot of that is there are more 347 00:10:01,614 --> 00:10:02,381 modern ways to be able to track 348 00:10:02,381 --> 00:10:04,350 that and then that could help 349 00:10:04,350 --> 00:10:07,200 us looking at how to expand 350 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,253 that potentially in the future 351 00:10:07,253 --> 00:10:08,253 . 352 00:10:08,253 --> 00:10:10,856 And then we are seeing at at 353 00:10:10,856 --> 00:10:11,524 some of our sites folks are 354 00:10:11,524 --> 00:10:13,924 coming there specifically to 355 00:10:15,161 --> 00:10:15,895 use the chargers maybe not to 356 00:10:15,895 --> 00:10:18,330 access the city facility that's 357 00:10:18,330 --> 00:10:19,165 there as well. 358 00:10:19,165 --> 00:10:21,968 And so sometimes they have a 359 00:10:21,968 --> 00:10:22,802 more charger focused mindset 360 00:10:22,802 --> 00:10:23,503 and that can provide some 361 00:10:23,503 --> 00:10:26,503 conflicts with the actual use 362 00:10:26,806 --> 00:10:27,707 at the site. 363 00:10:27,707 --> 00:10:30,707 And so for example, our 364 00:10:30,844 --> 00:10:31,644 challenge site is a preschool. 365 00:10:31,644 --> 00:10:32,312 There's lots of pick up and 366 00:10:32,312 --> 00:10:34,514 drop off and people milling 367 00:10:34,514 --> 00:10:35,248 around and lots of kids and 368 00:10:35,248 --> 00:10:35,982 some folks are coming in and 369 00:10:35,982 --> 00:10:37,850 out of the parking lot just for 370 00:10:37,850 --> 00:10:38,651 the chargers and so that has 371 00:10:38,651 --> 00:10:39,819 led to some conflicts just in 372 00:10:39,819 --> 00:10:42,219 the different priorities of 373 00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:46,690 users at that site. 374 00:10:48,562 --> 00:10:51,297 So the chargers went in around 375 00:10:51,297 --> 00:10:53,697 2016 2017 to start in the 2018 376 00:10:54,401 --> 00:10:55,134 rethinking mobility plan. 377 00:10:55,134 --> 00:10:55,802 It's kind of understood that 378 00:10:55,802 --> 00:10:58,802 there would there could be 379 00:10:58,805 --> 00:10:59,306 reasons to start charging a fee 380 00:10:59,306 --> 00:11:01,306 for the chargers. 381 00:11:02,542 --> 00:11:03,209 Currently we do not charge for 382 00:11:03,209 --> 00:11:03,777 them but coming out of that 383 00:11:03,777 --> 00:11:06,777 plan a fee range was 384 00:11:07,413 --> 00:11:08,810 established so that we could 385 00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:10,649 elect to charge charge money 386 00:11:10,649 --> 00:11:11,351 for the use of the chargers 387 00:11:11,351 --> 00:11:14,654 charge to charges kind of how 388 00:11:14,654 --> 00:11:15,555 we refer to it internally. 389 00:11:15,555 --> 00:11:17,991 So as they said right now we're 390 00:11:17,991 --> 00:11:18,591 not utilizing that fee but it 391 00:11:18,591 --> 00:11:19,159 has been sort of updated 392 00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:21,159 through different fee 393 00:11:21,461 --> 00:11:23,461 structures since 2018 and 394 00:11:24,564 --> 00:11:25,398 currently the adopted fee range 395 00:11:25,398 --> 00:11:27,798 is between $0.16 to $1 per 396 00:11:29,603 --> 00:11:30,303 kilowatt hour which is how you 397 00:11:30,303 --> 00:11:32,739 measure you know, ev charging 398 00:11:32,739 --> 00:11:33,407 versus a per gallon. 399 00:11:33,407 --> 00:11:36,407 And we've been doing some 400 00:11:36,509 --> 00:11:37,144 research and looking at what 401 00:11:37,144 --> 00:11:39,544 other publicly city owned 402 00:11:40,113 --> 00:11:40,947 chargers in contra costa county 403 00:11:40,947 --> 00:11:43,947 what folks are charging for 404 00:11:44,284 --> 00:11:45,180 those and from our research so 405 00:11:45,180 --> 00:11:47,254 far most of them are charging a 406 00:11:47,254 --> 00:11:50,254 fee and it averages about $0.36 407 00:11:50,490 --> 00:11:52,490 a kilowatt hour. 408 00:11:55,362 --> 00:11:56,290 So this next slide it goes back 409 00:11:56,290 --> 00:11:59,629 to those goals that I talked 410 00:11:59,632 --> 00:12:00,367 about previously of what are 411 00:12:00,367 --> 00:12:01,340 the goals that we have around 412 00:12:01,340 --> 00:12:02,970 this ev charger program and 413 00:12:02,970 --> 00:12:03,970 having public access. 414 00:12:03,970 --> 00:12:06,973 And this slide here kind of as 415 00:12:06,973 --> 00:12:07,674 a color gradient to show how 416 00:12:07,674 --> 00:12:08,341 well we're doing right now at 417 00:12:08,341 --> 00:12:11,780 meeting each of those goals. 418 00:12:11,780 --> 00:12:11,778 So the chargers are highly 419 00:12:11,778 --> 00:12:14,414 utilized if you drive by them 420 00:12:14,414 --> 00:12:15,115 most of the time you'll see 421 00:12:15,115 --> 00:12:15,582 there's there's usually people 422 00:12:15,582 --> 00:12:17,584 in most of them. 423 00:12:17,584 --> 00:12:18,510 So for that one we are doing 424 00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:20,510 well right now. 425 00:12:20,822 --> 00:12:21,622 >> the community access is more 426 00:12:21,622 --> 00:12:24,491 of an orange medium success 427 00:12:24,491 --> 00:12:26,891 because our understanding is 428 00:12:28,762 --> 00:12:29,463 that there's they're kind of 429 00:12:29,463 --> 00:12:29,730 like the best kept secret in a 430 00:12:29,730 --> 00:12:30,397 way. 431 00:12:30,397 --> 00:12:32,500 So there's a small group of 432 00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:33,167 people who know these chargers 433 00:12:33,167 --> 00:12:33,867 exist and know that they're 434 00:12:33,867 --> 00:12:36,336 free and are highly utilizing 435 00:12:36,336 --> 00:12:39,336 them but it's not generally 436 00:12:39,873 --> 00:12:40,708 known amongst the community. 437 00:12:40,708 --> 00:12:41,375 And because they're so highly 438 00:12:41,375 --> 00:12:44,110 utilized right now we don't 439 00:12:44,110 --> 00:12:44,745 necessarily promote them very 440 00:12:44,745 --> 00:12:47,614 much because there's not always 441 00:12:47,614 --> 00:12:48,516 availability at them right. 442 00:12:48,516 --> 00:12:51,152 And so we're really trying to 443 00:12:51,152 --> 00:12:52,152 target folks as I said earlier 444 00:12:52,152 --> 00:12:52,519 who might not buy an ev 445 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:54,519 otherwise. 446 00:12:55,556 --> 00:12:56,256 So with them right now with 447 00:12:56,256 --> 00:12:56,923 them being free for everyone, 448 00:12:56,923 --> 00:12:59,293 it's cheaper generally than 449 00:12:59,293 --> 00:13:00,360 charging at home. 450 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,829 So we do see that there's those 451 00:13:02,829 --> 00:13:03,464 folks who know about them are 452 00:13:03,464 --> 00:13:05,864 using them a lot. 453 00:13:06,534 --> 00:13:07,468 So that's that's kind of a 454 00:13:07,468 --> 00:13:07,902 there's a few different ways to 455 00:13:07,902 --> 00:13:09,870 look at that. 456 00:13:09,870 --> 00:13:10,471 Terms of the sustainable 457 00:13:10,471 --> 00:13:12,471 ifrastructure right now 458 00:13:14,141 --> 00:13:14,841 because we don't have the 459 00:13:14,841 --> 00:13:17,241 dedicated internal staff and 460 00:13:18,178 --> 00:13:19,460 the management company of the 461 00:13:19,460 --> 00:13:21,749 chargers changes on how you can 462 00:13:21,749 --> 00:13:22,149 replace different parts over 463 00:13:22,149 --> 00:13:23,160 time. 464 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:23,651 It takes a lot of communication 465 00:13:23,651 --> 00:13:25,686 back and forth between our 466 00:13:25,686 --> 00:13:26,860 staff and the charger companies 467 00:13:26,860 --> 00:13:26,820 . 468 00:13:26,820 --> 00:13:27,487 And so it's been challenging to 469 00:13:27,487 --> 00:13:30,891 keep them up and running and 470 00:13:30,891 --> 00:13:31,792 replace them quickly. 471 00:13:31,792 --> 00:13:32,426 It's a lot these hard to 472 00:13:32,426 --> 00:13:33,427 orchestrate is the quality 473 00:13:33,427 --> 00:13:34,361 customer experience. 474 00:13:34,361 --> 00:13:35,620 So even though we have these 475 00:13:35,620 --> 00:13:35,729 high utilizers we do hear from 476 00:13:35,729 --> 00:13:38,365 them a lot when chargers are 477 00:13:38,365 --> 00:13:38,666 down they'll be own for a long 478 00:13:38,666 --> 00:13:39,400 time. 479 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,669 And then as I mentioned earlier 480 00:13:41,669 --> 00:13:42,370 a can right now cause some 481 00:13:42,370 --> 00:13:44,605 challenges with other facility 482 00:13:44,605 --> 00:13:45,706 users as well. 483 00:13:45,706 --> 00:13:48,609 So we think that there are ways 484 00:13:48,609 --> 00:13:50,609 to improve this. 485 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,481 >> so our recommendation is to 486 00:13:53,481 --> 00:13:55,481 improve the program. 487 00:13:57,218 --> 00:13:57,952 There are third party operators 488 00:13:57,952 --> 00:14:01,288 that we could contract with who 489 00:14:01,288 --> 00:14:04,580 would be able to provide 24 490 00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:07,580 seven customer support which is 491 00:14:07,561 --> 00:14:08,462 not a model that we're able to 492 00:14:08,462 --> 00:14:09,163 provide right now and then also 493 00:14:09,163 --> 00:14:11,163 provide proactive maintenance 494 00:14:11,766 --> 00:14:12,466 on the chargers and they have 495 00:14:12,466 --> 00:14:14,866 more modern tracking systems. 496 00:14:15,503 --> 00:14:16,203 There's lot of different 497 00:14:16,203 --> 00:14:19,340 flexibility in how we set up a 498 00:14:19,340 --> 00:14:19,640 contract with someone like 499 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,542 that. 500 00:14:20,542 --> 00:14:23,444 And you in the contracts can 501 00:14:23,444 --> 00:14:24,111 set minimum required uptime is 502 00:14:24,111 --> 00:14:26,548 how it's referred to making 503 00:14:26,548 --> 00:14:27,548 sure the chargers are working 504 00:14:27,548 --> 00:14:27,848 you know 95 plus percent of the 505 00:14:27,848 --> 00:14:28,549 time. 506 00:14:28,549 --> 00:14:30,317 Things like that because that 507 00:14:30,317 --> 00:14:31,152 turnaround minimums for 508 00:14:31,152 --> 00:14:33,955 response time and all of that 509 00:14:33,955 --> 00:14:34,989 so it can be very closely 510 00:14:34,989 --> 00:14:37,692 managed but it's also in a way 511 00:14:37,692 --> 00:14:38,393 that's done by a third party. 512 00:14:38,393 --> 00:14:39,194 So it doesn't have to take up 513 00:14:39,194 --> 00:14:41,262 as much of our staff time and 514 00:14:41,262 --> 00:14:41,729 it's also folks who are more 515 00:14:41,729 --> 00:14:42,430 expert in this. 516 00:14:42,430 --> 00:14:44,990 This is what they do all day, 517 00:14:44,990 --> 00:14:45,133 every day. 518 00:14:45,133 --> 00:14:48,133 Generally how those work is 519 00:14:48,369 --> 00:14:49,360 that the fee that you are 520 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:49,937 charging for the use of the 521 00:14:49,937 --> 00:14:52,974 charger they take a cut of it 522 00:14:52,974 --> 00:14:53,541 and the cut depends on how much 523 00:14:53,541 --> 00:14:55,910 you're having them do. 524 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:56,577 So there's quite a bit of 525 00:14:56,577 --> 00:14:57,278 variability there and we're 526 00:14:57,278 --> 00:15:00,247 still sort of researching the 527 00:15:00,247 --> 00:15:00,915 exact model of what's out there 528 00:15:00,915 --> 00:15:03,384 in the market and what might 529 00:15:03,384 --> 00:15:04,452 work well for us. 530 00:15:04,452 --> 00:15:07,722 >> but in order to do that you 531 00:15:07,722 --> 00:15:08,289 have to be charging a fee for 532 00:15:08,289 --> 00:15:09,124 them to ake a cut of. 533 00:15:09,124 --> 00:15:11,159 So in order to make that work 534 00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:11,959 we would uggest beginning to 535 00:15:11,959 --> 00:15:14,629 charge a fee for the public 536 00:15:14,629 --> 00:15:15,663 facing chargers. 537 00:15:15,663 --> 00:15:18,663 And our goal that we'd 538 00:15:19,968 --> 00:15:23,338 recommend is to still et the 539 00:15:23,338 --> 00:15:24,720 rates lower to start lower than 540 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,472 our comparable neighbor cities. 541 00:15:26,641 --> 00:15:27,342 >> but the goal that we still 542 00:15:27,342 --> 00:15:29,978 want them to be accessible we 543 00:15:29,978 --> 00:15:30,812 want it to be something that 544 00:15:30,812 --> 00:15:33,681 would be much cheaper than 545 00:15:33,681 --> 00:15:34,483 fueling a gas powered car but 546 00:15:34,483 --> 00:15:38,830 give us enough funding to keep 547 00:15:38,419 --> 00:15:39,421 the system sustainable. 548 00:15:39,421 --> 00:15:42,223 And maybe for folks who could 549 00:15:42,223 --> 00:15:42,957 be charging at home, maybe they 550 00:15:42,957 --> 00:15:43,624 have slightly less incentive to 551 00:15:43,624 --> 00:15:45,927 be using the city chargers. 552 00:15:45,927 --> 00:15:46,661 And then that would free up 553 00:15:46,661 --> 00:15:47,361 space for those folks who don't 554 00:15:47,361 --> 00:15:49,431 have that option to charge at 555 00:15:49,431 --> 00:15:53,310 home because this would be new 556 00:15:53,340 --> 00:15:53,768 and would be still kind of 557 00:15:53,768 --> 00:15:54,435 figuring out all the logistics. 558 00:15:54,435 --> 00:15:56,972 We'd make sure to regularly 559 00:15:56,972 --> 00:15:57,706 review those rates and ensure 560 00:15:57,706 --> 00:15:59,674 that it's creating the behavior 561 00:15:59,674 --> 00:16:01,674 that we are. 562 00:16:03,845 --> 00:16:04,846 >> that's our goal. 563 00:16:04,846 --> 00:16:07,148 >> so this is our last slide 564 00:16:07,148 --> 00:16:07,515 before we take feedback and 565 00:16:07,515 --> 00:16:08,383 questions. 566 00:16:08,383 --> 00:16:11,386 So we're coming to you tonight 567 00:16:11,386 --> 00:16:12,200 to get your feedback on this 568 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,420 analysis and your thoughts 569 00:16:14,989 --> 00:16:15,991 about this plan. 570 00:16:15,991 --> 00:16:16,658 And then in JULY we're going to 571 00:16:16,658 --> 00:16:19,361 take this to city council as 572 00:16:19,361 --> 00:16:19,995 part of a larger plan that 573 00:16:19,995 --> 00:16:22,640 we're developing that also 574 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:22,530 looks at goals around our 575 00:16:22,530 --> 00:16:24,530 internal fleet. 576 00:16:26,267 --> 00:16:27,680 And if we get approval of the 577 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,971 plan from council then we would 578 00:16:29,971 --> 00:16:30,805 spend late summer early fall 579 00:16:30,805 --> 00:16:31,472 doing that vendor analysis and 580 00:16:31,472 --> 00:16:33,909 really getting a much better 581 00:16:33,909 --> 00:16:36,309 understanding of what exactly 582 00:16:36,979 --> 00:16:37,379 the economics of that would be 583 00:16:37,379 --> 00:16:38,246 . 584 00:16:38,246 --> 00:16:41,817 Okay, if we move forward with 585 00:16:41,817 --> 00:16:42,517 that direction then we would do 586 00:16:42,517 --> 00:16:45,120 targeted outreach to the users 587 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,120 of the chargers before likely 588 00:16:48,356 --> 00:16:50,959 around early 2027 would be when 589 00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:51,560 we might see a fee be 590 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,560 implemented. 591 00:16:55,331 --> 00:16:56,164 >> so that's the overview that 592 00:16:56,164 --> 00:16:56,799 for you tonight and I'm happy 593 00:16:56,799 --> 00:16:58,667 to take any questions and 594 00:16:58,667 --> 00:16:59,368 receive your feedback. 595 00:16:59,368 --> 00:16:59,735 >> thank you. 596 00:16:59,735 --> 00:17:01,735 All right. 597 00:17:02,971 --> 00:17:06,571 So we'll do commissioner q&a. 598 00:17:07,342 --> 00:17:07,943 So how about we tart with 599 00:17:07,943 --> 00:17:09,943 commissioner rick mann? 600 00:17:09,944 --> 00:17:10,846 All right. 601 00:17:10,846 --> 00:17:11,280 Thank you so much for the 602 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:12,130 presentation. 603 00:17:12,130 --> 00:17:15,613 That was really good and really 604 00:17:16,317 --> 00:17:16,718 clear and it's awesome. 605 00:17:16,718 --> 00:17:18,718 Yeah. 606 00:17:19,888 --> 00:17:20,522 So I think the one thing that I 607 00:17:20,522 --> 00:17:22,791 was kind of thinking when 608 00:17:22,791 --> 00:17:23,692 you're talking about the data 609 00:17:23,692 --> 00:17:24,359 for these chargers and like the 610 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:25,270 locations I don't know if we 611 00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:29,227 can go back to that map real 612 00:17:30,666 --> 00:17:31,733 quick but I think if possible 613 00:17:31,733 --> 00:17:32,400 can we get as much data as 614 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,302 possible before we make like 615 00:17:34,302 --> 00:17:35,103 too many decisions? 616 00:17:35,103 --> 00:17:37,907 I'm like where he private 617 00:17:37,907 --> 00:17:38,708 chargers are where the public 618 00:17:38,708 --> 00:17:39,800 chargers are like who's using 619 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800 what? 620 00:17:42,110 --> 00:17:42,878 Like how often are they being 621 00:17:42,878 --> 00:17:45,448 used so then we can actually 622 00:17:45,448 --> 00:17:46,248 like you know, put more in in 623 00:17:46,248 --> 00:17:46,948 the places they need to go 624 00:17:46,948 --> 00:17:49,885 instead of, you know, putting 625 00:17:49,885 --> 00:17:50,519 extras in if they're not being 626 00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:53,519 used and stuff like that. 627 00:17:53,822 --> 00:17:56,491 So yeah, with the data just 628 00:17:56,491 --> 00:17:57,393 collecting that data is that 629 00:17:57,393 --> 00:18:00,393 like doable with you know 630 00:18:00,495 --> 00:18:01,730 before this all gets completed 631 00:18:01,730 --> 00:18:03,832 or you know, do you have to 632 00:18:03,832 --> 00:18:04,467 start making money first to be 633 00:18:04,467 --> 00:18:06,802 able to collect that data 634 00:18:06,802 --> 00:18:07,736 because I know that takes time 635 00:18:07,736 --> 00:18:08,700 and that's a whole process oo. 636 00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:10,700 >> yeah. 637 00:18:11,473 --> 00:18:12,174 Yes, that's a great question. 638 00:18:12,174 --> 00:18:12,908 So I think the way we're 639 00:18:12,908 --> 00:18:15,177 thinking of a partner right now 640 00:18:15,177 --> 00:18:15,844 is ort of stabilizing the 641 00:18:15,844 --> 00:18:18,747 charger network that e have 642 00:18:18,747 --> 00:18:21,183 now and proving that customer 643 00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:22,850 experience and the maintenance 644 00:18:22,850 --> 00:18:25,120 of it first which we think that 645 00:18:25,120 --> 00:18:25,822 this you know, getting a third 646 00:18:25,822 --> 00:18:26,722 party in will help with that. 647 00:18:26,722 --> 00:18:28,824 It will also get us better data 648 00:18:28,824 --> 00:18:29,358 on what those users at those 649 00:18:29,358 --> 00:18:31,358 facilities are like. 650 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,428 But I hink before we expand 651 00:18:32,428 --> 00:18:35,464 the public chargers we want to 652 00:18:35,464 --> 00:18:36,980 do exactly that get much better 653 00:18:36,980 --> 00:18:38,835 data on which are already 654 00:18:38,835 --> 00:18:39,701 publicly available. 655 00:18:39,701 --> 00:18:40,435 >> also see if we can 656 00:18:40,435 --> 00:18:43,306 understand what might be coming 657 00:18:43,306 --> 00:18:43,973 down in the market, what are 658 00:18:43,973 --> 00:18:46,909 the trends, what are some of 659 00:18:46,909 --> 00:18:47,743 the private facilities that you 660 00:18:47,743 --> 00:18:48,477 know might put their own 661 00:18:48,477 --> 00:18:49,144 chargers and and so we can look 662 00:18:49,144 --> 00:18:50,612 at exactly that where are we 663 00:18:50,612 --> 00:18:51,447 really filling gaps? 664 00:18:51,447 --> 00:18:54,447 Another layer I'll mention that 665 00:18:54,850 --> 00:18:55,518 I want to look at in analysis 666 00:18:55,518 --> 00:18:57,853 is the housing stock that we 667 00:18:57,853 --> 00:18:58,521 have you know, where do we have 668 00:18:58,521 --> 00:18:59,550 older multifamily where it's 669 00:18:59,550 --> 00:19:01,900 going to be the most 670 00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:02,157 challenging for folks to charge 671 00:19:02,157 --> 00:19:04,994 at home and do we have, you 672 00:19:04,994 --> 00:19:05,995 know, city owned property 673 00:19:05,995 --> 00:19:06,429 around that r nearby that we 674 00:19:06,429 --> 00:19:08,429 could utilize? 675 00:19:09,632 --> 00:19:10,332 So before we expand any more of 676 00:19:10,332 --> 00:19:10,766 that, that is the direction we 677 00:19:10,766 --> 00:19:13,166 like to go in. 678 00:19:14,170 --> 00:19:14,771 >> and then just for the 679 00:19:14,771 --> 00:19:17,171 private garages, do they 680 00:19:17,806 --> 00:19:18,474 currently charge like the main 681 00:19:18,474 --> 00:19:21,811 ones in downtown or are the 682 00:19:21,811 --> 00:19:22,311 private chargers and in walnut 683 00:19:22,311 --> 00:19:22,645 creek in general? 684 00:19:22,645 --> 00:19:24,645 >> yes. 685 00:19:24,647 --> 00:19:25,515 They don't have their rates on 686 00:19:25,515 --> 00:19:28,515 hand but that is our 687 00:19:29,252 --> 00:19:30,286 understanding is that they do 688 00:19:30,286 --> 00:19:31,653 grow so we could match theirs 689 00:19:31,653 --> 00:19:35,853 or get kind of closer be like 690 00:19:38,328 --> 00:19:41,328 under there's basically a it's 691 00:19:42,999 --> 00:19:43,833 and then yeah. 692 00:19:43,833 --> 00:19:46,369 Is there any other cities that 693 00:19:46,369 --> 00:19:47,369 are kind of you know doing this 694 00:19:47,369 --> 00:19:48,380 on like a similar size to us 695 00:19:48,380 --> 00:19:51,638 that are doing a really good 696 00:19:51,775 --> 00:19:52,475 job of this like you through a 697 00:19:52,475 --> 00:19:53,209 private partnership or they're 698 00:19:53,209 --> 00:19:54,977 doing it themselves that we can 699 00:19:54,977 --> 00:19:57,847 kind of you know copy what 700 00:19:57,847 --> 00:19:59,820 they're doing a little bit. 701 00:19:59,820 --> 00:20:02,451 >> I this is something that I 702 00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:05,451 think cities in general are 703 00:20:05,855 --> 00:20:06,589 struggling with and it's I 704 00:20:06,589 --> 00:20:06,923 think it's the maintenance nd 705 00:20:06,923 --> 00:20:08,923 of that. 706 00:20:09,692 --> 00:20:10,360 I think we are there are the 707 00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:13,960 vast majority of cities are 708 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:13,763 charging something at this 709 00:20:13,763 --> 00:20:14,497 point which is then allowing 710 00:20:14,497 --> 00:20:17,601 them to fund and t's there are 711 00:20:17,601 --> 00:20:18,301 different models of is it 712 00:20:18,301 --> 00:20:20,436 internal staff, is it external 713 00:20:20,436 --> 00:20:20,837 which charger company do they 714 00:20:20,837 --> 00:20:21,671 work with? 715 00:20:21,671 --> 00:20:24,730 I'm on a lot of email threads 716 00:20:24,730 --> 00:20:24,941 of like what is the most 717 00:20:24,941 --> 00:20:25,775 reliable ev charging pad. 718 00:20:25,775 --> 00:20:27,944 So I think we are all kind of 719 00:20:27,944 --> 00:20:28,678 figuring it out together but 720 00:20:28,678 --> 00:20:32,278 that is something that we think 721 00:20:32,449 --> 00:20:33,283 about as our drivers especially 722 00:20:33,283 --> 00:20:33,950 are driving to our neighboring 723 00:20:33,950 --> 00:20:36,119 cities and they don't really 724 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:36,953 care if they're in walnut creek 725 00:20:36,953 --> 00:20:37,721 or pleasant hill or concord. 726 00:20:37,721 --> 00:20:38,121 >> they want a similar charging 727 00:20:38,121 --> 00:20:40,121 experience. 728 00:20:40,490 --> 00:20:43,593 So that is something that we 729 00:20:43,593 --> 00:20:44,940 try to coordinate with cool. 730 00:20:44,940 --> 00:20:44,795 >> cool. 731 00:20:44,795 --> 00:20:47,397 Well thank you so much 732 00:20:47,397 --> 00:20:47,997 commissioner guerrero. 733 00:20:47,997 --> 00:20:49,997 >> thank you. 734 00:20:50,867 --> 00:20:51,734 Good presentation. 735 00:20:51,734 --> 00:20:52,502 Just a couple of questions. 736 00:20:52,502 --> 00:20:55,372 Of the $250,000 that we spend 737 00:20:55,372 --> 00:20:55,905 annually, how much of that is 738 00:20:55,905 --> 00:20:57,905 to pay electricity? 739 00:20:59,476 --> 00:20:59,909 >> so I believe I have it 740 00:20:59,909 --> 00:21:01,909 written down. 741 00:21:02,145 --> 00:21:02,646 I think t's 155,000. 742 00:21:02,646 --> 00:21:02,946 >> yes. 743 00:21:02,946 --> 00:21:03,780 Okay. 744 00:21:03,780 --> 00:21:06,683 And that comes out of the city 745 00:21:06,683 --> 00:21:07,160 budget to to pay that. 746 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,817 >> yeah. 747 00:21:07,817 --> 00:21:10,120 So right now it's just all 748 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:10,453 general funding that 200 749 00:21:10,453 --> 00:21:12,453 50,000. 750 00:21:13,657 --> 00:21:14,457 >> and do any of these charges 751 00:21:14,457 --> 00:21:15,291 ation support solar power in 752 00:21:15,291 --> 00:21:18,162 order to offset that or is that 753 00:21:18,162 --> 00:21:20,162 something in consideration? 754 00:21:20,830 --> 00:21:21,498 >> the only one that's out of 755 00:21:21,498 --> 00:21:24,498 facility with solar is city 756 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,538 hall which we currently are not 757 00:21:28,538 --> 00:21:29,373 monitoring. 758 00:21:29,373 --> 00:21:32,343 That's that's a whole nother 759 00:21:32,343 --> 00:21:33,430 challenge that the solar panels 760 00:21:33,430 --> 00:21:33,710 on city hall are. 761 00:21:33,710 --> 00:21:34,411 They are operational but we 762 00:21:34,411 --> 00:21:36,313 also need better data tracking 763 00:21:36,313 --> 00:21:37,313 on those. 764 00:21:37,313 --> 00:21:40,517 But es, ideally I would say 765 00:21:40,517 --> 00:21:41,218 that that is setting it off 766 00:21:41,218 --> 00:21:41,985 offsetting it a bit. 767 00:21:41,985 --> 00:21:44,355 I'm not sure if we've thought 768 00:21:44,355 --> 00:21:45,550 about putting solar and in 769 00:21:45,550 --> 00:21:47,958 other facilities but I'm glad 770 00:21:47,958 --> 00:21:49,958 you said that. 771 00:21:50,994 --> 00:21:52,994 17 yes. 772 00:21:54,798 --> 00:21:55,598 So ideally the chargers would 773 00:21:55,598 --> 00:21:56,300 be on their own meter which 774 00:21:56,300 --> 00:21:59,300 could still interact with the 775 00:21:59,436 --> 00:22:02,906 solar on the building but you 776 00:22:02,906 --> 00:22:03,741 can get an ev charger 777 00:22:03,741 --> 00:22:06,610 electricity rate from mce or 778 00:22:06,610 --> 00:22:07,210 energy provider that's more 779 00:22:07,210 --> 00:22:07,711 favorable to the type of 780 00:22:07,711 --> 00:22:09,711 charging for that. 781 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:11,681 Some of ours are networked on 782 00:22:11,681 --> 00:22:14,284 their own meter and some f 783 00:22:14,284 --> 00:22:15,118 them are not so that would be a 784 00:22:15,118 --> 00:22:18,356 goal over time to is to get 785 00:22:18,356 --> 00:22:18,956 them on their own meter but 786 00:22:18,956 --> 00:22:20,956 probably wouldn't happen 787 00:22:22,526 --> 00:22:22,860 necessarily for all of them 788 00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:23,194 before. 789 00:22:23,194 --> 00:22:23,894 >> okay. 790 00:22:23,894 --> 00:22:25,963 Would like to implement this. 791 00:22:25,963 --> 00:22:26,630 So I assume a lot of this 792 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:29,300 information was developed by 793 00:22:29,500 --> 00:22:30,000 from from black and veatch. 794 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:30,267 >> yes. 795 00:22:30,267 --> 00:22:32,267 yes. 796 00:22:32,937 --> 00:22:33,637 So we worked with them that was 797 00:22:33,637 --> 00:22:34,538 our consultant on this plan. 798 00:22:34,538 --> 00:22:37,641 >> and do they have more data 799 00:22:37,641 --> 00:22:38,342 as to what ryan was saying as 800 00:22:38,342 --> 00:22:40,711 far as other cities have been 801 00:22:40,711 --> 00:22:41,479 successful as far as you know 802 00:22:41,479 --> 00:22:41,745 how to go about implementing 803 00:22:41,745 --> 00:22:43,745 it? 804 00:22:43,947 --> 00:22:47,418 And I guess to follow that, you 805 00:22:47,418 --> 00:22:48,850 know, is solar powered you know 806 00:22:48,850 --> 00:22:50,485 charging stations that that 807 00:22:51,622 --> 00:22:52,323 support the infrastructure, is 808 00:22:52,323 --> 00:22:53,230 that something they recommend? 809 00:22:53,230 --> 00:22:55,192 >> I'm just kind of curious of 810 00:22:55,192 --> 00:22:56,600 that piece that wasn't 811 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:56,693 something that came up in the 812 00:22:56,693 --> 00:22:59,930 analysis or something hat 813 00:22:59,831 --> 00:23:00,164 we've seen directly from other 814 00:23:00,164 --> 00:23:02,164 cities. 815 00:23:03,330 --> 00:23:03,834 I think even if the electricity 816 00:23:03,834 --> 00:23:06,834 that the chargers were using 817 00:23:07,338 --> 00:23:07,938 was fully offset by the solar 818 00:23:07,938 --> 00:23:08,605 power or some other 819 00:23:08,605 --> 00:23:11,500 alternative, you would still 820 00:23:11,275 --> 00:23:11,975 have the maintenance costs and 821 00:23:11,975 --> 00:23:12,676 the networking cost. 822 00:23:12,676 --> 00:23:13,377 So there are still costs but 823 00:23:13,377 --> 00:23:15,777 obviously electricity is it's 824 00:23:16,130 --> 00:23:16,514 more than half of the rate 825 00:23:16,514 --> 00:23:18,514 we're paying now. 826 00:23:19,490 --> 00:23:19,750 But you would we would still 827 00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:20,418 see hose maintenance 828 00:23:20,418 --> 00:23:21,520 challenges nd those sorts of 829 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,287 things where a third party 830 00:23:23,287 --> 00:23:23,988 could help address that. 831 00:23:23,988 --> 00:23:24,621 >> got it. 832 00:23:24,621 --> 00:23:27,621 And then what's what's the 833 00:23:27,958 --> 00:23:30,958 difference between the the lots 834 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:32,863 that like tesla runs where you 835 00:23:32,863 --> 00:23:36,330 see all the tesla chargers like 836 00:23:36,330 --> 00:23:36,834 the jam or you know across from 837 00:23:36,834 --> 00:23:38,903 other farms and he's put those 838 00:23:38,903 --> 00:23:39,737 in now. 839 00:23:39,737 --> 00:23:42,137 Like are we benefiting? 840 00:23:42,239 --> 00:23:45,839 Are we profiting at all from 841 00:23:46,211 --> 00:23:46,444 from any of those private ones 842 00:23:46,444 --> 00:23:47,444 . 843 00:23:47,444 --> 00:23:47,811 >> so none of those are on city 844 00:23:47,811 --> 00:23:48,512 property. 845 00:23:48,512 --> 00:23:50,881 so they're they're all managed 846 00:23:50,881 --> 00:23:52,881 privately. 847 00:23:55,153 --> 00:23:55,820 >> we did look at models to you 848 00:23:55,820 --> 00:23:56,521 know, potentially lease city 849 00:23:56,521 --> 00:23:58,790 spaces which is something that 850 00:23:58,790 --> 00:23:59,624 some other cities do and then 851 00:23:59,624 --> 00:24:02,627 the the third party can do 100% 852 00:24:02,627 --> 00:24:03,361 of that but that would e I 853 00:24:03,361 --> 00:24:06,364 think we were looking at how do 854 00:24:06,364 --> 00:24:07,310 we solve the problem now in the 855 00:24:07,310 --> 00:24:09,467 short term with the charters 856 00:24:09,467 --> 00:24:10,680 that we have and from our 857 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,680 analysis, you know 858 00:24:12,136 --> 00:24:12,771 transitioning that to the third 859 00:24:12,771 --> 00:24:15,771 party is what makes sense 860 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:16,741 because someone who would come 861 00:24:16,741 --> 00:24:19,770 in at least a spot they don't 862 00:24:19,770 --> 00:24:19,878 want to buy our old 863 00:24:19,878 --> 00:24:20,344 infrastructure or work with our 864 00:24:20,344 --> 00:24:22,344 aging chargers. 865 00:24:23,515 --> 00:24:24,215 So when we go back to looking 866 00:24:24,215 --> 00:24:26,615 at expanding, that's something 867 00:24:27,518 --> 00:24:27,885 that we'll keep on the table to 868 00:24:27,885 --> 00:24:28,586 consider. 869 00:24:28,586 --> 00:24:30,955 But I think in the short term 870 00:24:30,955 --> 00:24:31,756 that's not something that is 871 00:24:31,756 --> 00:24:32,190 likely to solve the issues that 872 00:24:32,190 --> 00:24:32,524 we're having. 873 00:24:32,524 --> 00:24:34,524 >> okay. 874 00:24:35,226 --> 00:24:36,127 I just have one last thing. 875 00:24:36,127 --> 00:24:38,796 Could you show me the or you 876 00:24:38,796 --> 00:24:41,796 talked about the different the 877 00:24:42,433 --> 00:24:43,234 customer and the network and 878 00:24:43,234 --> 00:24:43,601 the little map that show like 879 00:24:43,601 --> 00:24:43,935 who deals? 880 00:24:43,935 --> 00:24:45,935 >> yeah. 881 00:24:46,671 --> 00:24:47,405 So right now how is how is that 882 00:24:47,405 --> 00:24:50,405 manage these pieces right here? 883 00:24:51,843 --> 00:24:52,176 Like who actually does that for 884 00:24:52,176 --> 00:24:53,411 for us? 885 00:24:53,411 --> 00:24:53,845 >> yes I'll bring you up for 886 00:24:53,845 --> 00:24:54,679 that one. 887 00:24:54,679 --> 00:24:57,582 >> so I just want to understand 888 00:24:57,582 --> 00:25:01,180 a little bit can just as much 889 00:25:01,180 --> 00:25:01,586 color. 890 00:25:01,586 --> 00:25:02,186 Good evening. 891 00:25:02,186 --> 00:25:02,520 Gina eicher public works 892 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,520 manager. 893 00:25:04,723 --> 00:25:05,457 So currently right now we ave 894 00:25:05,457 --> 00:25:08,457 some of our signal technicians 895 00:25:09,161 --> 00:25:12,296 who are not ev experts but they 896 00:25:12,296 --> 00:25:13,640 are able to go out there and 897 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,640 make repairs to our ev 898 00:25:16,734 --> 00:25:17,369 infrastructure for the phone 899 00:25:17,369 --> 00:25:20,369 calls, go to our traffic 900 00:25:20,439 --> 00:25:21,720 operation center which really 901 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:21,673 only monitors their in the 902 00:25:21,673 --> 00:25:24,673 field most of the day. 903 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:25,810 So they don't even get the 904 00:25:25,810 --> 00:25:26,645 calls until the end of the day. 905 00:25:26,645 --> 00:25:29,281 Then they're able to kind of go 906 00:25:29,281 --> 00:25:29,981 through their you know, their 907 00:25:29,981 --> 00:25:30,715 voicemail is the following day 908 00:25:30,715 --> 00:25:33,685 they MAY be able to go out and 909 00:25:33,685 --> 00:25:33,985 take a look at it 90% of the 910 00:25:33,985 --> 00:25:35,985 time. 911 00:25:36,210 --> 00:25:36,755 Right now we do not have the 912 00:25:36,755 --> 00:25:39,155 infrastructure in place that 913 00:25:40,225 --> 00:25:43,225 allows us to make repairs. 914 00:25:43,929 --> 00:25:44,930 So the way that the chargers 915 00:25:44,930 --> 00:25:47,832 were originally set up is that 916 00:25:47,832 --> 00:25:48,700 they used to be modular. 917 00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:49,401 That's not really the case so 918 00:25:49,401 --> 00:25:49,734 much anymore with the current 919 00:25:49,734 --> 00:25:51,734 vendors. 920 00:25:52,137 --> 00:25:52,838 One of the current vendors that 921 00:25:52,838 --> 00:25:55,207 we have we have to replace an 922 00:25:55,207 --> 00:25:55,841 entire system every time that 923 00:25:55,841 --> 00:25:59,441 we have a charger go down. 924 00:25:59,611 --> 00:26:00,379 So and a lot of that has to do 925 00:26:00,379 --> 00:26:02,681 with just the way that we had 926 00:26:02,681 --> 00:26:03,515 it the existing contract is so 927 00:26:03,515 --> 00:26:06,752 there's quite a bit that we can 928 00:26:06,752 --> 00:26:07,519 do to improve that experience 929 00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:10,655 and to allow for people to have 930 00:26:10,655 --> 00:26:10,989 easier access to the charging 931 00:26:10,989 --> 00:26:11,322 systems. 932 00:26:11,322 --> 00:26:13,322 >> good. 933 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,728 So this is outside or third 934 00:26:15,728 --> 00:26:16,395 party would definitely relieve 935 00:26:16,395 --> 00:26:18,731 a lot of the stress of this. 936 00:26:18,731 --> 00:26:19,364 >> yeah we have to make do 937 00:26:19,364 --> 00:26:19,865 contract every single time 938 00:26:19,865 --> 00:26:21,865 something happens. 939 00:26:22,670 --> 00:26:22,734 So we end up going through and 940 00:26:22,734 --> 00:26:25,471 whether they get damaged or 941 00:26:25,471 --> 00:26:26,471 it's something that just 942 00:26:26,471 --> 00:26:27,306 because of the time in them we 943 00:26:27,306 --> 00:26:30,575 end up having to do individual 944 00:26:30,575 --> 00:26:31,310 contracts to get these repaired 945 00:26:31,310 --> 00:26:31,643 and so that takes time and it's 946 00:26:31,643 --> 00:26:33,512 own too. 947 00:26:33,512 --> 00:26:34,145 >> sure. 948 00:26:34,145 --> 00:26:34,512 >> okay. 949 00:26:34,512 --> 00:26:35,130 Thank you. 950 00:26:35,130 --> 00:26:35,380 That's all I have. 951 00:26:35,380 --> 00:26:35,747 Thank you. 952 00:26:35,747 --> 00:26:37,747 Thank you. 953 00:26:39,551 --> 00:26:41,551 Vice chair patch. 954 00:26:43,622 --> 00:26:44,356 >> the nice thing about going 955 00:26:44,356 --> 00:26:45,230 after other people have is that 956 00:26:45,230 --> 00:26:48,623 a lot of my questions were 957 00:26:49,294 --> 00:26:50,395 already answered. 958 00:26:50,395 --> 00:26:53,320 >> so a couple that I do that 959 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,632 we haven't talked about do we 960 00:26:57,402 --> 00:26:57,970 have a plan in place to replace 961 00:26:57,970 --> 00:27:00,370 the old ones already? 962 00:27:00,405 --> 00:27:01,390 I know you said you're not 963 00:27:01,390 --> 00:27:01,674 looking at expanding the 964 00:27:01,674 --> 00:27:04,443 locations right now but if 965 00:27:04,443 --> 00:27:07,443 they're already failing are we 966 00:27:08,481 --> 00:27:11,481 looking at replacing the ten 967 00:27:11,784 --> 00:27:12,170 plus old ten year plus old ones 968 00:27:12,170 --> 00:27:12,617 ? 969 00:27:12,617 --> 00:27:13,418 >> yeah. 970 00:27:13,418 --> 00:27:15,888 So we are sort of was just 971 00:27:15,888 --> 00:27:16,622 talking about you know when we 972 00:27:16,622 --> 00:27:19,158 get to the oint of need to 973 00:27:19,158 --> 00:27:20,158 repair them especially now that 974 00:27:20,158 --> 00:27:20,826 the modular model is kind of 975 00:27:20,826 --> 00:27:22,861 going away with some of the 976 00:27:22,861 --> 00:27:23,763 brands we are looking at when 977 00:27:23,763 --> 00:27:26,164 it makes sense to take them out 978 00:27:26,164 --> 00:27:26,999 entirely and replace with a 979 00:27:26,999 --> 00:27:27,699 company that maybe we've had a 980 00:27:27,699 --> 00:27:30,699 better experience with and we 981 00:27:31,737 --> 00:27:32,571 have replaced some I believe 982 00:27:32,571 --> 00:27:34,440 the ones at the library got the 983 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:35,174 if you see the blink model 984 00:27:35,174 --> 00:27:35,841 chargers those are the newer 985 00:27:35,841 --> 00:27:38,841 ones that we've worked with. 986 00:27:39,110 --> 00:27:39,712 So this thing we're doing over 987 00:27:39,712 --> 00:27:42,140 time and that's coming out of 988 00:27:42,140 --> 00:27:42,281 the general fund still right 989 00:27:42,281 --> 00:27:42,648 now. 990 00:27:42,648 --> 00:27:44,648 All right. 991 00:27:45,550 --> 00:27:46,219 And kind of similar to the 992 00:27:46,219 --> 00:27:46,752 tesla question but not 993 00:27:46,752 --> 00:27:48,752 specifically tesla. 994 00:27:50,122 --> 00:27:50,789 >> have you thought of any 995 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:52,789 corporate sponsorships that 996 00:27:53,225 --> 00:27:55,625 like they are sponsoring 997 00:27:57,696 --> 00:27:58,731 specific charging ports and 998 00:27:58,731 --> 00:28:01,901 they might be in charge of the 999 00:28:01,901 --> 00:28:02,768 maintenance? 1000 00:28:02,768 --> 00:28:05,238 I'm my understanding where the 1001 00:28:05,238 --> 00:28:06,238 market is now on that is that 1002 00:28:06,238 --> 00:28:07,730 those in the esla this is true 1003 00:28:07,730 --> 00:28:09,709 for those are generally the dc 1004 00:28:09,709 --> 00:28:10,342 fast chargers which we didn't 1005 00:28:10,342 --> 00:28:12,742 really talk about charging 1006 00:28:13,212 --> 00:28:14,800 levels in the presentation but 1007 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:14,713 just for full background you 1008 00:28:14,713 --> 00:28:16,816 know there's like a level one 1009 00:28:16,816 --> 00:28:17,650 which is plugging in at home 1010 00:28:17,650 --> 00:28:18,284 into a regular plug there's 1011 00:28:18,284 --> 00:28:18,584 level two which is what we 1012 00:28:18,584 --> 00:28:20,584 have. 1013 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,856 It's sort of an in-between 1014 00:28:23,856 --> 00:28:24,857 energy level and then there's 1015 00:28:24,857 --> 00:28:25,691 level three or dc fast and so 1016 00:28:25,691 --> 00:28:28,728 those are we didn't really cost 1017 00:28:28,728 --> 00:28:29,361 more per kilowatt hour because 1018 00:28:29,361 --> 00:28:31,761 they're they're you know, 1019 00:28:31,997 --> 00:28:32,331 expending energy much more 1020 00:28:32,331 --> 00:28:33,650 quickly. 1021 00:28:33,650 --> 00:28:35,734 And so my understanding for the 1022 00:28:35,734 --> 00:28:36,435 market is right ow there's a 1023 00:28:36,435 --> 00:28:39,672 lot of though that sort of 1024 00:28:39,672 --> 00:28:40,406 model is that dc fast charger 1025 00:28:40,406 --> 00:28:42,374 kind of more charging hub folks 1026 00:28:42,374 --> 00:28:42,942 coming in and out within like 1027 00:28:42,942 --> 00:28:44,942 45 minute increments. 1028 00:28:46,379 --> 00:28:47,800 And so the folks aren't that 1029 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,882 companies that are doing that 1030 00:28:49,882 --> 00:28:50,917 are not looking at the level 1031 00:28:50,917 --> 00:28:51,383 two that's the service model we 1032 00:28:51,383 --> 00:28:52,117 have right now. 1033 00:28:52,117 --> 00:28:54,287 So I think that would kind of 1034 00:28:54,287 --> 00:28:57,356 be opening a whole a whole 1035 00:28:57,356 --> 00:28:58,257 nother possibility that would 1036 00:28:58,257 --> 00:28:58,925 need to be part of that next 1037 00:28:58,925 --> 00:29:01,594 level of analysis for where 1038 00:29:01,594 --> 00:29:02,280 might that kind of model make 1039 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:02,362 sense for us? 1040 00:29:02,362 --> 00:29:04,362 >> sure. 1041 00:29:04,697 --> 00:29:05,631 Okay. 1042 00:29:05,631 --> 00:29:08,835 And then if we do start 1043 00:29:08,835 --> 00:29:09,869 charging people for using the 1044 00:29:09,869 --> 00:29:12,739 chargers and how much of the 1045 00:29:12,739 --> 00:29:13,539 contract and electricity are 1046 00:29:13,539 --> 00:29:17,430 you hoping to offset with the 1047 00:29:17,430 --> 00:29:20,213 charging like are you trying to 1048 00:29:20,213 --> 00:29:23,650 get to 100% or is it half of it 1049 00:29:23,650 --> 00:29:24,350 that we're I think we're trying 1050 00:29:24,350 --> 00:29:28,550 to get to a better place than 1051 00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:30,956 we're at now because of the 1052 00:29:30,956 --> 00:29:31,658 lack of sophistication our data 1053 00:29:31,658 --> 00:29:34,594 tracking right now we we don't 1054 00:29:34,594 --> 00:29:36,994 really have that understanding. 1055 00:29:38,970 --> 00:29:38,931 And I think we also we'll have 1056 00:29:38,931 --> 00:29:39,565 to see ow it affects our 1057 00:29:39,565 --> 00:29:41,834 customer demand, how much 1058 00:29:41,834 --> 00:29:43,834 utilization we're having. 1059 00:29:46,139 --> 00:29:46,973 So we honestly aren't sure what 1060 00:29:46,973 --> 00:29:47,674 how that's going to level out 1061 00:29:47,674 --> 00:29:50,760 in the end it will definitely 1062 00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:50,610 we're not be profiting off of 1063 00:29:50,610 --> 00:29:50,910 it that's for sure. 1064 00:29:50,910 --> 00:29:51,611 Right. 1065 00:29:51,611 --> 00:29:53,713 I think it's still going to be 1066 00:29:53,713 --> 00:29:54,414 probably subsidized even to 1067 00:29:54,414 --> 00:29:57,250 some degree but much less than 1068 00:29:57,250 --> 00:29:57,650 it is now and that's what 1069 00:29:57,650 --> 00:29:58,451 overtime is. 1070 00:29:58,451 --> 00:30:01,855 We're going to track the ate 1071 00:30:01,855 --> 00:30:02,589 especially early on to make 1072 00:30:02,589 --> 00:30:02,989 sure we're kind of hitting that 1073 00:30:02,989 --> 00:30:04,989 right mark? 1074 00:30:06,393 --> 00:30:06,760 So that's a long way o say I'm 1075 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:07,226 not sure. 1076 00:30:07,226 --> 00:30:09,620 >> fair enough. 1077 00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:11,620 Okay. 1078 00:30:16,103 --> 00:30:17,336 And then my my last question is 1079 00:30:17,336 --> 00:30:18,500 ,you know, I don't know how to 1080 00:30:18,500 --> 00:30:21,500 phrase this actually so I'm 1081 00:30:21,410 --> 00:30:21,441 going to I'm just going to skip 1082 00:30:21,441 --> 00:30:23,441 it for now. 1083 00:30:24,244 --> 00:30:24,844 >> we'll come back to you. 1084 00:30:24,844 --> 00:30:25,211 >> all right. 1085 00:30:25,211 --> 00:30:27,211 Thank you. 1086 00:30:31,318 --> 00:30:31,885 Great presentation, 1087 00:30:31,885 --> 00:30:33,885 commissioner guerrero. 1088 00:30:34,788 --> 00:30:36,220 Got my top question. 1089 00:30:36,220 --> 00:30:38,691 How much of the money was going 1090 00:30:38,691 --> 00:30:39,926 to electricity? 1091 00:30:39,926 --> 00:30:41,795 So I'll I'll ask the flip side 1092 00:30:41,795 --> 00:30:43,795 question. 1093 00:30:44,965 --> 00:30:45,832 >> so the other approximate 1094 00:30:45,832 --> 00:30:48,232 $100,000 what would be the 1095 00:30:49,169 --> 00:30:49,970 biggest buckets on an annual 1096 00:30:49,970 --> 00:30:52,970 that we're spending on that's 1097 00:30:53,239 --> 00:30:53,707 not electricity with our 1098 00:30:53,707 --> 00:30:54,740 current model? 1099 00:30:54,740 --> 00:30:54,875 >> yeah. 1100 00:30:54,875 --> 00:30:58,111 The next biggest bucket is the 1101 00:30:58,111 --> 00:30:59,946 contracts hat I was mentioning 1102 00:30:59,946 --> 00:31:00,713 with aintenance staff that's 1103 00:31:00,713 --> 00:31:01,581 about another 60,000. 1104 00:31:01,581 --> 00:31:04,184 And then the rest is sort of 1105 00:31:04,184 --> 00:31:04,985 spread across our internal 1106 00:31:04,985 --> 00:31:07,887 staff time that if we are 1107 00:31:07,887 --> 00:31:08,522 purchasing the equipment 1108 00:31:08,522 --> 00:31:08,922 ourselves that's needed to 1109 00:31:08,922 --> 00:31:10,922 replace it. 1110 00:31:12,192 --> 00:31:13,260 And then the the limited 1111 00:31:13,260 --> 00:31:14,894 networking that we do have the 1112 00:31:14,894 --> 00:31:15,529 fees for that. 1113 00:31:15,529 --> 00:31:17,529 >> okay, great. 1114 00:31:19,666 --> 00:31:23,136 So speaking of the data and 1115 00:31:23,136 --> 00:31:26,136 networking, if you can share 1116 00:31:26,606 --> 00:31:30,206 briefly what what kind of data 1117 00:31:30,310 --> 00:31:31,344 elements do we get today? 1118 00:31:31,344 --> 00:31:32,145 >> what are the ones we don't 1119 00:31:32,145 --> 00:31:34,281 get that we really want that 1120 00:31:34,281 --> 00:31:37,281 makes having one of these 1121 00:31:40,254 --> 00:31:41,488 providers really beneficial? 1122 00:31:41,488 --> 00:31:44,457 >> right now we do not have a 1123 00:31:44,457 --> 00:31:45,126 system in place to regularly 1124 00:31:45,126 --> 00:31:47,894 monitor data so it's sort of 1125 00:31:47,894 --> 00:31:48,562 like a project to get the data 1126 00:31:48,562 --> 00:31:52,132 updated and dig in to that. 1127 00:31:52,132 --> 00:31:54,935 So what we would be able to get 1128 00:31:54,935 --> 00:31:55,603 with this is more our 1129 00:31:55,603 --> 00:31:56,337 understanding and we'll find 1130 00:31:56,337 --> 00:31:58,606 out the details of this when we 1131 00:31:58,606 --> 00:31:59,340 do the rfp and really 1132 00:31:59,340 --> 00:31:59,707 understand what the vendors are 1133 00:31:59,707 --> 00:32:01,707 offering. 1134 00:32:02,109 --> 00:32:02,809 But our understanding for the 1135 00:32:02,809 --> 00:32:03,444 research e have now is it's 1136 00:32:03,444 --> 00:32:06,179 more like a ashboard model 1137 00:32:06,179 --> 00:32:07,470 where you could regularly check 1138 00:32:07,470 --> 00:32:09,983 in with days of what times of 1139 00:32:09,983 --> 00:32:11,170 day are they being with you, 1140 00:32:11,170 --> 00:32:13,687 how long are folks staying at 1141 00:32:13,687 --> 00:32:14,622 them? 1142 00:32:14,622 --> 00:32:17,622 There's also likely the ability 1143 00:32:17,791 --> 00:32:18,426 to get understanding of repeat 1144 00:32:18,426 --> 00:32:18,793 customers versus different 1145 00:32:18,793 --> 00:32:20,793 customers. 1146 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:22,796 So all of that would really 1147 00:32:22,796 --> 00:32:25,932 give us better insight to who 1148 00:32:25,932 --> 00:32:26,733 is using it and how they're 1149 00:32:26,733 --> 00:32:27,434 using it and how's that 1150 00:32:27,434 --> 00:32:28,690 behavior maybe different than 1151 00:32:28,690 --> 00:32:30,170 some of our other parking 1152 00:32:30,170 --> 00:32:30,504 customers in those facilities 1153 00:32:30,504 --> 00:32:32,504 as well? 1154 00:32:33,874 --> 00:32:37,244 So with the existing free model 1155 00:32:37,244 --> 00:32:40,614 or if we got one of these 1156 00:32:40,614 --> 00:32:41,248 companies in place but we were 1157 00:32:41,248 --> 00:32:44,248 still going with free, how 1158 00:32:45,752 --> 00:32:46,486 would we identify I like the 1159 00:32:46,486 --> 00:32:48,789 repeat customers who's using it 1160 00:32:48,789 --> 00:32:49,489 like what what data if anything 1161 00:32:49,489 --> 00:32:53,890 do we capture from the people 1162 00:32:53,727 --> 00:32:54,270 driving up I'm plugging in 1163 00:32:54,270 --> 00:32:54,361 today. 1164 00:32:54,361 --> 00:32:56,197 >> yeah. 1165 00:32:56,197 --> 00:32:56,797 Do you want that part? 1166 00:32:56,797 --> 00:32:58,797 Yeah, maybe. 1167 00:33:00,334 --> 00:33:01,680 So the data if we were to try 1168 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,304 to go we would have to get 1169 00:33:03,304 --> 00:33:04,104 another ontract in place that 1170 00:33:04,104 --> 00:33:06,907 would allow for us to better 1171 00:33:06,907 --> 00:33:07,908 monitor that. 1172 00:33:07,908 --> 00:33:11,245 It really depends if that's a 1173 00:33:11,245 --> 00:33:11,945 good answer right now because 1174 00:33:11,945 --> 00:33:12,346 we really don't know what our 1175 00:33:12,346 --> 00:33:14,346 options are. 1176 00:33:15,416 --> 00:33:16,217 So we really looking to kind of 1177 00:33:16,217 --> 00:33:18,786 when e do when we go out to 1178 00:33:18,786 --> 00:33:19,486 try to get a third party vendor 1179 00:33:19,486 --> 00:33:20,540 we're really going to do more 1180 00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:22,623 of like a request for 1181 00:33:22,623 --> 00:33:23,357 qualifications and have them 1182 00:33:23,357 --> 00:33:26,461 tell us hat it is that e're 1183 00:33:26,461 --> 00:33:27,195 missing out on because we don't 1184 00:33:27,195 --> 00:33:27,595 right now we don't know what we 1185 00:33:27,595 --> 00:33:27,962 don't know. 1186 00:33:27,962 --> 00:33:29,962 >> right. 1187 00:33:30,631 --> 00:33:31,398 Because I think if we go to a 1188 00:33:31,398 --> 00:33:34,302 fee model we're going to get 1189 00:33:34,302 --> 00:33:37,400 credit card numbers and we'll 1190 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:37,404 know we'll know who's using 1191 00:33:37,404 --> 00:33:37,939 system. 1192 00:33:37,939 --> 00:33:38,639 >> right. 1193 00:33:38,639 --> 00:33:39,273 So it wouldn't necessarily be 1194 00:33:39,273 --> 00:33:41,673 with credit card numbers. 1195 00:33:41,676 --> 00:33:42,376 i think that they actually 1196 00:33:42,376 --> 00:33:45,313 users have to have like a sign 1197 00:33:45,313 --> 00:33:45,979 on it like oh like an app like 1198 00:33:45,979 --> 00:33:46,714 an app that they utilize so 1199 00:33:46,714 --> 00:33:49,217 they don't do with credit cards 1200 00:33:49,217 --> 00:33:52,217 because we don't there's a 1201 00:33:52,386 --> 00:33:52,654 whole compliance thing with pci 1202 00:33:52,654 --> 00:33:53,321 . 1203 00:33:53,321 --> 00:33:53,688 Yeah, exactly with it. 1204 00:33:53,688 --> 00:33:55,688 Thank you. 1205 00:33:56,357 --> 00:33:57,157 So there is an entire pci that 1206 00:33:57,157 --> 00:33:57,859 we model that they have to 1207 00:33:57,859 --> 00:33:58,593 follow and that's all part of 1208 00:33:58,593 --> 00:34:00,280 the process that we would have 1209 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:00,928 to go through. 1210 00:34:00,928 --> 00:34:04,265 We would be getting way more in 1211 00:34:04,265 --> 00:34:04,999 the details if I started to 1212 00:34:04,999 --> 00:34:07,999 explain the fact that sometimes 1213 00:34:08,102 --> 00:34:08,502 the vendor is not even involved 1214 00:34:08,502 --> 00:34:09,337 in that. 1215 00:34:09,337 --> 00:34:12,340 So it is just a totally 1216 00:34:12,340 --> 00:34:13,410 different option but we don't 1217 00:34:13,410 --> 00:34:13,775 know what we don't know right 1218 00:34:13,775 --> 00:34:16,411 now and so we're really looking 1219 00:34:16,411 --> 00:34:17,145 to see what kind of models are 1220 00:34:17,145 --> 00:34:19,915 possibly out there and that 1221 00:34:19,915 --> 00:34:20,582 would allow us by going out you 1222 00:34:20,582 --> 00:34:23,685 know, to search out at third 1223 00:34:23,685 --> 00:34:24,419 party vendor we would be able 1224 00:34:24,419 --> 00:34:27,880 to see what the options are and 1225 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:27,789 maybe they could provide us 1226 00:34:27,789 --> 00:34:28,256 information even with what we 1227 00:34:28,256 --> 00:34:30,256 currently have. 1228 00:34:30,925 --> 00:34:31,258 But we won't know that until we 1229 00:34:31,258 --> 00:34:33,258 go out. 1230 00:34:34,329 --> 00:34:35,290 So here's a question and this 1231 00:34:35,290 --> 00:34:38,266 is a question I think that 1232 00:34:38,266 --> 00:34:38,633 would be is a pass through 1233 00:34:38,633 --> 00:34:39,267 question. 1234 00:34:39,267 --> 00:34:41,503 >> and I think when ou're 1235 00:34:41,503 --> 00:34:42,203 asking vendors would any one of 1236 00:34:42,203 --> 00:34:45,106 these vendors have the ability 1237 00:34:45,106 --> 00:34:49,306 to wait for it have a discount 1238 00:34:49,977 --> 00:34:50,478 free pricing kind of like a 1239 00:34:50,478 --> 00:34:51,145 validation model. 1240 00:34:51,145 --> 00:34:53,648 So if someone comes just to 1241 00:34:53,648 --> 00:34:56,648 charge they would spend a 1242 00:34:57,285 --> 00:34:58,320 little more er kilowatt hour 1243 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,556 but if they came to charge but 1244 00:35:01,556 --> 00:35:04,760 added at original joe's or one 1245 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:05,860 of our other restaurants maybe 1246 00:35:05,860 --> 00:35:06,161 they get it for a half price or 1247 00:35:06,161 --> 00:35:06,861 free. 1248 00:35:06,861 --> 00:35:08,864 It'd be an interesting to ask 1249 00:35:08,864 --> 00:35:09,231 the vendors if anybody could do 1250 00:35:09,231 --> 00:35:09,797 that now. 1251 00:35:09,797 --> 00:35:11,797 >> excellent question. 1252 00:35:13,350 --> 00:35:13,702 Well will pass that question 1253 00:35:13,702 --> 00:35:14,402 along because we're going to 1254 00:35:14,402 --> 00:35:16,571 give people free electricity. 1255 00:35:16,571 --> 00:35:17,305 >> it might be nice to get them 1256 00:35:17,305 --> 00:35:19,774 to spend money downtown, right? 1257 00:35:19,774 --> 00:35:23,244 Yes or in the other locations. 1258 00:35:23,244 --> 00:35:24,112 >> correct. 1259 00:35:24,112 --> 00:35:26,512 >> I think you've already 1260 00:35:26,914 --> 00:35:27,883 answered this question. 1261 00:35:27,883 --> 00:35:28,617 I was going to ask if our 1262 00:35:28,617 --> 00:35:31,219 chargers today are all the same 1263 00:35:31,219 --> 00:35:32,870 vendor and model they are not. 1264 00:35:32,870 --> 00:35:32,788 >> we actually have two vendors 1265 00:35:32,788 --> 00:35:34,889 that we're utilizing right now 1266 00:35:34,889 --> 00:35:38,393 and if we went to one of these 1267 00:35:38,393 --> 00:35:39,127 newer vendors would we would we 1268 00:35:39,127 --> 00:35:39,494 wholesale replace out all these 1269 00:35:39,494 --> 00:35:40,195 chargers? 1270 00:35:40,195 --> 00:35:42,263 >> not necessarily and that is 1271 00:35:42,263 --> 00:35:43,131 not our intent. 1272 00:35:43,131 --> 00:35:43,798 Our intent is to utilize the 1273 00:35:43,798 --> 00:35:45,798 existing infrastructure and 1274 00:35:46,168 --> 00:35:46,868 have them be able to work on 1275 00:35:46,868 --> 00:35:49,268 the oldest infrastructure you 1276 00:35:50,205 --> 00:35:51,173 know, as it's needed. 1277 00:35:51,173 --> 00:35:51,573 We can determine what that 1278 00:35:51,573 --> 00:35:52,274 looks like. 1279 00:35:52,274 --> 00:35:55,510 It can be anything from a full 1280 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:55,944 replacement to use what we have 1281 00:35:55,944 --> 00:35:57,944 until it dies. 1282 00:35:58,547 --> 00:35:59,348 Got it right so we can 1283 00:35:59,348 --> 00:36:02,348 determine what that looks like. 1284 00:36:02,651 --> 00:36:06,955 >> and I know in the in the the 1285 00:36:06,955 --> 00:36:09,725 letter or memo e received as a 1286 00:36:09,725 --> 00:36:10,759 part of our packet it talked 1287 00:36:10,759 --> 00:36:13,829 about if we did it internally 1288 00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:14,462 we would need to sound like I 1289 00:36:14,462 --> 00:36:17,462 said one full time person. 1290 00:36:17,866 --> 00:36:18,600 >> yes and even then one full 1291 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,836 time person wouldn't be able to 1292 00:36:20,836 --> 00:36:23,236 offer 24 seven service for 1293 00:36:23,939 --> 00:36:24,640 repairs and or you know 1294 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,640 necessarily being able to get 1295 00:36:27,810 --> 00:36:28,310 you know, chargers running up 1296 00:36:28,310 --> 00:36:28,943 and running again. 1297 00:36:28,943 --> 00:36:31,847 You know, we won't have an 1298 00:36:31,847 --> 00:36:32,549 inventory on hand to quickly 1299 00:36:32,549 --> 00:36:36,149 swap things out as when you 1300 00:36:36,352 --> 00:36:36,885 have a vendor an on hand they 1301 00:36:36,885 --> 00:36:37,218 have those options. 1302 00:36:37,218 --> 00:36:39,218 >> okay. 1303 00:36:39,755 --> 00:36:40,422 So it sounds like something is 1304 00:36:40,422 --> 00:36:42,822 more valuable beneficial to 1305 00:36:43,525 --> 00:36:46,729 outsource then I always hate to 1306 00:36:46,729 --> 00:36:46,962 see jobs outsourced of the city 1307 00:36:46,962 --> 00:36:47,963 . 1308 00:36:47,963 --> 00:36:48,631 >> I think that that is our 1309 00:36:48,631 --> 00:36:49,231 recommendation is to look at 1310 00:36:49,231 --> 00:36:50,699 the third party vendor. 1311 00:36:50,699 --> 00:36:52,699 Got it. 1312 00:36:55,710 --> 00:36:55,971 Those are all my questions. 1313 00:36:55,971 --> 00:36:56,405 >> vice chair patch did you 1314 00:36:56,405 --> 00:36:58,307 your question. 1315 00:36:58,307 --> 00:36:59,700 I've got two what I needed 1316 00:36:59,700 --> 00:36:59,341 around the data so we're good. 1317 00:36:59,341 --> 00:37:01,341 >> okay. 1318 00:37:01,543 --> 00:37:02,144 Awesome. 1319 00:37:02,144 --> 00:37:02,845 >> all right. 1320 00:37:02,845 --> 00:37:03,479 Any any further questions from 1321 00:37:03,479 --> 00:37:05,879 any of the commissioners? 1322 00:37:06,810 --> 00:37:06,448 I had one other question 1323 00:37:06,448 --> 00:37:07,115 actually. 1324 00:37:07,115 --> 00:37:09,351 Um, I don't know if you saw 1325 00:37:09,351 --> 00:37:10,190 this if I missed it, but did 1326 00:37:10,190 --> 00:37:11,454 you say what the cost per 1327 00:37:11,454 --> 00:37:15,540 charger is for like to replace 1328 00:37:15,958 --> 00:37:19,494 one or to put one in writing it 1329 00:37:19,494 --> 00:37:20,463 back up like average? 1330 00:37:20,463 --> 00:37:21,163 >> I know there's a bunch of 1331 00:37:21,163 --> 00:37:22,598 different ones too, but yeah, 1332 00:37:22,598 --> 00:37:26,198 there are a lot currently we're 1333 00:37:26,268 --> 00:37:26,602 seeing anywhere from 11,000 to 1334 00:37:26,602 --> 00:37:27,203 15,000. 1335 00:37:27,203 --> 00:37:30,203 >> it's a lot of money. 1336 00:37:30,272 --> 00:37:33,442 Yeah it is a lot of money and 1337 00:37:33,442 --> 00:37:34,310 if you do like a bunch in a row 1338 00:37:34,310 --> 00:37:34,843 does it get a little bit 1339 00:37:34,843 --> 00:37:35,544 cheaper because the 1340 00:37:35,544 --> 00:37:37,580 infrastructure is kind of you 1341 00:37:37,580 --> 00:37:38,314 know so it depends on which 1342 00:37:38,314 --> 00:37:41,116 company we're talking about too 1343 00:37:41,116 --> 00:37:41,818 right now because like I said 1344 00:37:41,818 --> 00:37:44,720 there is one of our vendors is 1345 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:45,354 allowing for some modular 1346 00:37:45,354 --> 00:37:47,354 upgrades and updates. 1347 00:37:48,900 --> 00:37:51,690 Another one if there's a hose 1348 00:37:51,694 --> 00:37:52,261 that's broken, they want the 1349 00:37:52,261 --> 00:37:54,261 entire head replaced. 1350 00:37:55,998 --> 00:37:58,998 >> and so whereas before you 1351 00:37:59,134 --> 00:37:59,769 know and the model or one of 1352 00:37:59,769 --> 00:38:02,169 the vendors is drastically 1353 00:38:02,705 --> 00:38:03,305 changed from when we originally 1354 00:38:03,305 --> 00:38:04,600 went with them. 1355 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,409 So that's kind of the other 1356 00:38:06,409 --> 00:38:07,243 thing that's pushing us to move 1357 00:38:07,243 --> 00:38:10,746 to a third party vendor that 1358 00:38:10,746 --> 00:38:11,247 can help us better manage this. 1359 00:38:11,247 --> 00:38:11,547 >> yeah. 1360 00:38:11,547 --> 00:38:13,547 Cool. 1361 00:38:14,550 --> 00:38:15,718 Thank you. 1362 00:38:15,718 --> 00:38:16,850 >> I do have ne more question. 1363 00:38:16,850 --> 00:38:18,850 I'm sorry. 1364 00:38:18,487 --> 00:38:18,788 So originally we put these in 1365 00:38:18,788 --> 00:38:20,788 2017. 1366 00:38:22,291 --> 00:38:23,920 We don't charge for them. 1367 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,229 There must have been a plan or 1368 00:38:26,229 --> 00:38:27,300 some kind of idea of of wire 1369 00:38:27,300 --> 00:38:27,462 you know what we were going to 1370 00:38:27,462 --> 00:38:29,462 do with these. 1371 00:38:29,932 --> 00:38:33,569 So my question is more like if 1372 00:38:33,569 --> 00:38:37,169 these are level two and they 1373 00:38:37,172 --> 00:38:37,973 don't charge very fast and then 1374 00:38:37,973 --> 00:38:41,143 we charge charging a fee what's 1375 00:38:41,143 --> 00:38:42,278 what's the incentive? 1376 00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:42,979 I don't have any v so I don't 1377 00:38:42,979 --> 00:38:45,682 know if I can answer this. 1378 00:38:45,682 --> 00:38:48,170 I'm asking what's the incentive 1379 00:38:48,170 --> 00:38:48,951 to use a level two that's not 1380 00:38:48,951 --> 00:38:52,555 as fast and now they ave to 1381 00:38:52,555 --> 00:38:53,890 pay a fee for it. 1382 00:38:53,890 --> 00:38:53,356 >> and will they? 1383 00:38:53,356 --> 00:38:55,356 Yes. 1384 00:38:56,125 --> 00:38:56,859 So the intent when they were 1385 00:38:56,859 --> 00:38:57,760 first put in and you also think 1386 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,129 you know ten years ago the ev 1387 00:39:00,129 --> 00:39:00,863 market was in a very different 1388 00:39:00,863 --> 00:39:04,990 place and so it really was we 1389 00:39:04,990 --> 00:39:04,835 won't charge a fee now the goal 1390 00:39:04,835 --> 00:39:05,468 of this is to try and encourage 1391 00:39:05,468 --> 00:39:07,868 folks to transition their 1392 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:08,471 vehicles and free is better 1393 00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:08,771 than than a fee. 1394 00:39:08,771 --> 00:39:09,606 Right. 1395 00:39:09,606 --> 00:39:11,508 and now there are so many more 1396 00:39:11,508 --> 00:39:12,208 chargers available and 1397 00:39:12,208 --> 00:39:14,608 different charging models and 1398 00:39:15,111 --> 00:39:15,979 benefits from mce if you charge 1399 00:39:15,979 --> 00:39:16,646 at home you can sign up for a 1400 00:39:16,646 --> 00:39:16,946 special app that is just for 1401 00:39:16,946 --> 00:39:18,714 that. 1402 00:39:18,714 --> 00:39:21,714 >> there's a lot more options 1403 00:39:21,851 --> 00:39:22,518 out there and so from a 1404 00:39:22,518 --> 00:39:24,518 convenience versus charging 1405 00:39:25,622 --> 00:39:26,560 perspective customers have more 1406 00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,560 distinction there. 1407 00:39:29,793 --> 00:39:32,895 So I think the goal with 1408 00:39:32,895 --> 00:39:33,696 charging a fee is really to 1409 00:39:33,696 --> 00:39:34,364 make sure it's a sustainable 1410 00:39:34,364 --> 00:39:36,933 system that is providing the 1411 00:39:36,933 --> 00:39:37,767 quality customer experience. 1412 00:39:37,767 --> 00:39:40,767 I think another benefit that 1413 00:39:41,304 --> 00:39:41,971 we've we believe we will find 1414 00:39:41,971 --> 00:39:45,475 from our analysis is that it 1415 00:39:45,475 --> 00:39:46,176 will target more of the folks 1416 00:39:46,176 --> 00:39:46,843 who really need those chargers 1417 00:39:46,843 --> 00:39:49,378 who aren't ble to charge at 1418 00:39:49,378 --> 00:39:49,712 home who aren't able to charge 1419 00:39:49,712 --> 00:39:51,712 at work. 1420 00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:53,883 Our feedback so far from folks 1421 00:39:53,883 --> 00:39:56,219 has been oh if you charge you 1422 00:39:56,219 --> 00:39:56,920 know at ind of this level I'll 1423 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:57,654 probably charge at home. 1424 00:39:57,654 --> 00:40:00,457 You know it takes that 1425 00:40:00,457 --> 00:40:01,391 convenience out. 1426 00:40:01,391 --> 00:40:02,910 It's going to cost a similar 1427 00:40:02,910 --> 00:40:05,195 amount but it's really for the 1428 00:40:05,195 --> 00:40:05,895 folks who you know, live in an 1429 00:40:05,895 --> 00:40:08,531 older apartment or don't have 1430 00:40:08,531 --> 00:40:09,165 onsite parking for whatever 1431 00:40:09,165 --> 00:40:12,350 reason they're not able to 1432 00:40:12,350 --> 00:40:12,602 charge at home or they're 1433 00:40:12,602 --> 00:40:13,302 already accessing our 1434 00:40:13,302 --> 00:40:15,702 facilities and it's something 1435 00:40:16,390 --> 00:40:16,706 that you know, can be a benefit 1436 00:40:16,706 --> 00:40:18,341 for them when they're there. 1437 00:40:18,341 --> 00:40:18,941 Maybe it's convenient. 1438 00:40:18,941 --> 00:40:19,376 >> okay. 1439 00:40:19,376 --> 00:40:21,376 Mm

00:41:07,223 the parking space to them and 1464 00:41:07,223 --> 00:41:07,458 then it's their infrastructure 1465 00:41:07,458 --> 00:41:08,224 . 1466 00:41:08,224 --> 00:41:08,859 >> they set the

00:41:14,165 --> 00:41:15,899 what that would be and so it 1471 00:41:15,899 --> 00:41:16,300 wouldn't be necessarily our 1472 00:41:16,300 --> 00:41:17,134 parking fee. 1473 00:41:17,134 --> 00:41:19,936 It would be their their fee on 1474 00:41:19,936 --> 00:41:20,404 their space that they're 1475 00:41:20,404 --> 00:41:20,704 leasing from us. 1476 00:41:20,704 --> 00:41:21,405 Okay. 1477 00:41:21,405 --> 00:41:23,140 So that's what we see in some 1478 00:41:23,140 --> 00:41:25,140 other cities. 1479 00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:27,411 Do I I'm I'm not personally 1480 00:41:27,411 --> 00:41:28,111 aware of though this might be 1481 00:41:28,111 --> 00:41:30,347 out there like that gets more 1482 00:41:30,347 --> 00:41:31,150 complicated when it's inside 1483 00:41:31,150 --> 00:41:31,649 our garage right where we're 1484 00:41:31,649 --> 00:41:33,517 charging it so that works 1485 00:41:33,517 --> 00:41:34,251 better at a surface like but 1486 00:41:34,251 --> 00:41:34,918 yeah that's more the model 1487 00:41:34,918 --> 00:41:37,588 we've seen for that there re 1488 00:41:37,588 --> 00:41:38,122 some providers who do that. 1489 00:41:38,122 --> 00:41:38,489 Okay, great. 1490 00:41:38,489 --> 00:41:39,190 Thank you. 1491 00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:41,124 All right then I think we've 1492 00:41:41,124 --> 00:41:41,525 concluded commissioner 1493 00:41:41,525 --> 00:41:42,560 questions. 1494 00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,662 So for the record I have to ask 1495 00:41:45,662 --> 00:41:46,363 if there's anyone in the public 1496 00:41:46,363 --> 00:41:48,766 who would like to address the 1497 00:41:48,766 --> 00:41:49,800 commission on this topic. 1498 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,603 >> we have no members of the 1499 00:41:52,603 --> 00:41:53,700 public wishing to provide 1500 00:41:53,700 --> 00:41:53,804 public comment. 1501 00:41:53,804 --> 00:41:56,204 >> thank you, MR. Secretary. 1502 00:41:57,141 --> 00:41:58,142 Then we'll close public comment 1503 00:41:58,142 --> 00:42:00,845 and we will move on to 1504 00:42:00,845 --> 00:42:01,311 commissioner comments. 1505 00:42:01,311 --> 00:42:03,311 Let's go. 1506 00:42:04,615 --> 00:42:06,615 Reversal here. 1507 00:42:08,319 --> 00:42:09,120 >> how about vice chair patch? 1508 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:09,553 Thank you for this 1509 00:42:09,553 --> 00:42:09,953 presentation. 1510 00:42:09,953 --> 00:42:11,953 It's great. 1511 00:42:12,623 --> 00:42:13,457 I actually just recently went 1512 00:42:13,457 --> 00:42:16,160 to london and I was going to 1513 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,600 reach out to you because I saw 1514 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:17,728 some cool things around ev 1515 00:42:17,728 --> 00:42:18,228 chargers and then I saw this 1516 00:42:18,228 --> 00:42:20,564 was on the agenda. 1517 00:42:20,564 --> 00:42:23,367 I was like oh I can tweet now. 1518 00:42:23,367 --> 00:42:24,435 So that's kind of cool. 1519 00:42:24,435 --> 00:42:27,204 >> one of the things that I saw 1520 00:42:27,204 --> 00:42:30,804 in london is they have shell 1521 00:42:31,275 --> 00:42:33,675 charging units attached to 1522 00:42:34,946 --> 00:42:35,279 telephone poles and street 1523 00:42:35,279 --> 00:42:37,279 lights. 1524 00:42:38,950 --> 00:42:42,550 So the city that like basically 1525 00:42:42,886 --> 00:42:43,587 leases the street lights to 1526 00:42:43,587 --> 00:42:44,255 shell and shell charges but 1527 00:42:44,255 --> 00:42:46,655 like they're responsible for 1528 00:42:46,924 --> 00:42:47,592 the maintenance and stuff and 1529 00:42:47,592 --> 00:42:49,927 so that's why I asked about 1530 00:42:49,927 --> 00:42:50,795 corporate sponsorships. 1531 00:42:50,795 --> 00:42:51,529 I know you're ot looking to 1532 00:42:51,529 --> 00:42:54,265 expand but that might be 1533 00:42:54,265 --> 00:42:54,932 something to start thinking 1534 00:42:54,932 --> 00:42:55,101 about and considering and as 1535 00:42:55,101 --> 00:42:57,101 - 1536 00:42:57,835 --> 00:43:00,835 you're looking for a third 1537 00:43:00,905 --> 00:43:02,140 party vendor I would definitely 1538 00:43:02,140 --> 00:43:05,409 ask them or include in their 1539 00:43:05,409 --> 00:43:07,409 qualification portion what 1540 00:43:09,379 --> 00:43:09,780 their creative solutions are to 1541 00:43:09,780 --> 00:43:10,810 this issue. 1542 00:43:10,810 --> 00:43:10,815 Right. 1543 00:43:10,815 --> 00:43:13,718 Because as you said, you know, 1544 00:43:13,718 --> 00:43:16,788 we have 40 ports but we have 1545 00:43:16,788 --> 00:43:17,155 goals of installing a lot more 1546 00:43:17,155 --> 00:43:19,155 than that. 1547 00:43:20,792 --> 00:43:21,459 >> so knowing not just how 1548 00:43:21,459 --> 00:43:24,459 we're maintaining it now but 1549 00:43:24,862 --> 00:43:25,596 how the expansion is going to 1550 00:43:25,596 --> 00:43:28,532 work would be really important. 1551 00:43:28,532 --> 00:43:29,233 I have found as you change 1552 00:43:29,233 --> 00:43:31,902 vendors that that can be 1553 00:43:31,902 --> 00:43:32,871 complicated. 1554 00:43:32,871 --> 00:43:33,538 So if we could find a vendor 1555 00:43:33,538 --> 00:43:35,840 that actually works with the 1556 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:36,541 growth plan as well as the 1557 00:43:36,541 --> 00:43:39,210 maintenance plan that would be 1558 00:43:39,210 --> 00:43:41,210 really important. 1559 00:43:42,780 --> 00:43:43,682 And also on the data front I 1560 00:43:43,682 --> 00:43:47,184 would be really curious if they 1561 00:43:47,184 --> 00:43:47,985 can tell us which of our 1562 00:43:47,985 --> 00:43:50,888 locations are full most of the 1563 00:43:50,888 --> 00:43:51,590 time so that maybe that's an 1564 00:43:51,590 --> 00:43:54,225 indicator that there needs to 1565 00:43:54,225 --> 00:43:57,610 be more chargers there or a 1566 00:43:57,610 --> 00:43:59,461 higher priority on maintaining 1567 00:44:00,698 --> 00:44:01,732 those chargers versus like if 1568 00:44:01,732 --> 00:44:05,932 the other areas are not used as 1569 00:44:08,774 --> 00:44:09,474 much and I as a person who 1570 00:44:09,474 --> 00:44:11,874 lives in multi-family complex 1571 00:44:12,310 --> 00:44:12,977 who cannot install a charger I 1572 00:44:12,977 --> 00:44:15,377 understand the importance of 1573 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:16,447 this publicly available 1574 00:44:16,447 --> 00:44:18,447 chargers. 1575 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:19,985 >> I do think it's reasonable 1576 00:44:19,985 --> 00:44:22,985 to start charging for them 1577 00:44:23,288 --> 00:44:24,222 especially if it's a nominal 1578 00:44:24,222 --> 00:44:27,822 amount that kind of just covers 1579 00:44:28,292 --> 00:44:28,927 the electricity or a portion of 1580 00:44:28,927 --> 00:44:30,927 the maintenance coverage. 1581 00:44:32,530 --> 00:44:33,231 I think that as we move forward 1582 00:44:33,231 --> 00:44:35,733 the communication on that and 1583 00:44:35,733 --> 00:44:38,733 why we're charging instead of 1584 00:44:39,304 --> 00:44:40,105 free is going to be make it 1585 00:44:40,105 --> 00:44:40,772 making sure that we communicate 1586 00:44:40,772 --> 00:44:43,410 on that will make sure that 1587 00:44:43,410 --> 00:44:45,441 it's accessible and hopefully 1588 00:44:46,711 --> 00:44:47,279 will address some of the user 1589 00:44:47,279 --> 00:44:49,279 conflict that you're 1590 00:44:50,916 --> 00:44:51,616 experiencing at places that 1591 00:44:51,616 --> 00:44:54,286 shouldn't be charging just for 1592 00:44:54,286 --> 00:44:56,286 charging purposes right? 1593 00:44:58,757 --> 00:45:02,460 I would also look at if the 1594 00:45:02,460 --> 00:45:06,600 vendor can have a robust plan 1595 00:45:06,431 --> 00:45:07,990 for replacing the old ones it's 1596 00:45:07,990 --> 00:45:09,499 really disappointing to hear 1597 00:45:10,235 --> 00:45:10,568 that they're not module there 1598 00:45:10,568 --> 00:45:11,269 anymore. 1599 00:45:11,269 --> 00:45:14,269 That's just me from a 1600 00:45:14,372 --> 00:45:15,173 sustainability perspective 1601 00:45:15,173 --> 00:45:18,173 really irritating to me like 1602 00:45:18,743 --> 00:45:19,445 why are we wasting materials 1603 00:45:19,445 --> 00:45:22,445 instead of just replacing the 1604 00:45:22,580 --> 00:45:23,315 thing that is broken and and 1605 00:45:23,315 --> 00:45:24,150 understand that that comes from 1606 00:45:24,150 --> 00:45:26,318 the charger vendor itself and 1607 00:45:26,318 --> 00:45:27,180 not the person or the company 1608 00:45:27,180 --> 00:45:30,180 that's going to maintain them 1609 00:45:30,122 --> 00:45:30,755 but if they have those 1610 00:45:30,755 --> 00:45:33,155 relationships or they have 1611 00:45:33,525 --> 00:45:36,495 insights in how we can not have 1612 00:45:36,495 --> 00:45:37,329 to create waste as we're 1613 00:45:37,329 --> 00:45:39,729 replacing old chargers that 1614 00:45:40,865 --> 00:45:43,865 would be great to hear. 1615 00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:45,204 And a lot of my comments are 1616 00:45:45,204 --> 00:45:47,973 just about the expansion which 1617 00:45:47,973 --> 00:45:51,573 you're not focusing on but also 1618 00:45:52,177 --> 00:45:52,878 I love that we're doing this so 1619 00:45:52,878 --> 00:45:55,380 I'll probably just send you an 1620 00:45:55,380 --> 00:45:58,980 email about ideas that I have 1621 00:45:59,510 --> 00:46:00,850 for expanding our ev chargers 1622 00:46:00,850 --> 00:46:02,654 in general so that we stay on 1623 00:46:02,654 --> 00:46:04,654 topic here. 1624 00:46:07,426 --> 00:46:08,126 >> >> commissioner guerrero. 1625 00:46:08,126 --> 00:46:08,493 No further comments. 1626 00:46:08,493 --> 00:46:09,610 Thank you. 1627 00:46:09,610 --> 00:46:11,300 Was good presentation 1628 00:46:11,300 --> 00:46:11,663 commissioner mcmahon. 1629 00:46:11,663 --> 00:46:13,663 >> oh yeah. 1630 00:46:14,366 --> 00:46:15,670 This was a really good 1631 00:46:15,670 --> 00:46:15,634 presentation and I really love 1632 00:46:15,634 --> 00:46:17,869 that we're focused on 1633 00:46:17,869 --> 00:46:18,603 sustainability for this and I 1634 00:46:18,603 --> 00:46:19,304 think electric cars are just 1635 00:46:19,304 --> 00:46:22,241 going to continue to get more 1636 00:46:22,241 --> 00:46:23,410 popular, more popular as gas 1637 00:46:23,410 --> 00:46:23,875 prices go up and all this other 1638 00:46:23,875 --> 00:46:26,679 stuff is going on and as the 1639 00:46:26,679 --> 00:46:27,346 car prices et as the electric 1640 00:46:27,346 --> 00:46:28,470 car prices get cheaper, more 1641 00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:30,282 people are going to be buying 1642 00:46:30,282 --> 00:46:31,283 them. 1643 00:46:31,283 --> 00:46:33,885 So I think it's definitely 1644 00:46:33,885 --> 00:46:34,787 something we should focus on. 1645 00:46:34,787 --> 00:46:37,590 i totally agree and just some 1646 00:46:37,590 --> 00:46:38,223 of the comments and what he 1647 00:46:38,223 --> 00:46:38,924 agenda said that you know, 1648 00:46:38,924 --> 00:46:41,894 having people pay for it will 1649 00:46:41,894 --> 00:46:42,728 make it more sustainable. 1650 00:46:42,728 --> 00:46:45,264 We can keep up these chargers. 1651 00:46:45,264 --> 00:46:45,998 They can have more uptime. 1652 00:46:45,998 --> 00:46:46,665 They can be safer too. 1653 00:46:46,665 --> 00:46:49,650 That's something we actually 1654 00:46:49,135 --> 00:46:50,135 didn't really talk about today. 1655 00:46:50,135 --> 00:46:52,404 But I know like six months ago 1656 00:46:52,404 --> 00:46:53,380 there was a fire in one of the 1657 00:46:53,380 --> 00:46:53,639 garages and you know that 1658 00:46:53,639 --> 00:46:56,800 caused a big issue too. 1659 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:56,675 So you know, like having money 1660 00:46:56,675 --> 00:46:59,245 coming in ensures that these 1661 00:46:59,245 --> 00:46:59,845 are all safe and you know, 1662 00:46:59,845 --> 00:47:02,245 protecting the cars and 1663 00:47:03,115 --> 00:47:03,448 protecting the people using the 1664 00:47:03,448 --> 00:47:05,448 garages. 1665 00:47:06,118 --> 00:47:07,152 I would say like we should try 1666 00:47:07,152 --> 00:47:07,953 to gather as much data as we 1667 00:47:07,953 --> 00:47:10,589 can and use the money that we 1668 00:47:10,589 --> 00:47:10,889 do make from this or that 1669 00:47:10,889 --> 00:47:12,889 data. 1670 00:47:13,659 --> 00:47:14,360 And I second what my other 1671 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:14,993 commissioner said in terms of 1672 00:47:14,993 --> 00:47:17,393 communicating that to the 1673 00:47:17,964 --> 00:47:21,433 public in terms of like you 1674 00:47:21,433 --> 00:47:22,301 know, we want to we're charging 1675 00:47:22,301 --> 00:47:23,350 but we're we're going to use 1676 00:47:23,350 --> 00:47:23,369 this money to make the chargers 1677 00:47:23,369 --> 00:47:24,200 better. 1678 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,904 We're going to put them in 1679 00:47:25,904 --> 00:47:26,639 places where people need them 1680 00:47:26,639 --> 00:47:27,306

most efficient way would to 1684 00:47:33,446 --> 00:47:34,113 be hire hired a private company 1685 00:47:34,113 --> 00:47:36,749 to do this like they're the 1686 00:47:36,749 --> 00:47:37,650 experts

00:48:33,272 --> 00:48:36,272 to attract with the free 1713 00:48:37,430 --> 00:48:37,743 charging the biggest barrier is 1714 00:48:37,743 --> 00:48:38,411 really not the charging fee 1715 00:48:38,411 --> 00:48:40,880 it's the cost of getting the 1716 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:41,915 the ev itself. 1717 00:48:41,915 --> 00:48:42,716 Those are you know and even to 1718 00:48:42,716 -->

00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,800 charge rate like you purchase 1746 00:49:38,172 --> 00:49:39,380 into this number of credits for 1747 00:49:39,380 --> 00:49:39,573 the month and you get to use 1748

00:49:45,345 --> 00:49:46,380 on what vendor you go for but 1752 00:49:46,380 --> 00:49:49,683 it might be a way to offset 1753 00:49:49,683 --> 00:49:52,180 some of what my fellow 1754 00:49:52,180 --> 00:49:54,418 commissioner was suggesting on 1755 00:49:56,490 --> 00:49:57,390 lower income individuals. 1756 00:49:57,390 --> 00:49:58,910 So I think the purpose of 1757 00:49:58,910 -->

00:50:45,872 --> 00:50:46,874 public works. 1784 00:50:46,874 --> 00:50:47,507 Tonight I'm going to be giving 1785 00:50:47,507 --> 00:50:50,143 you a quick update on the 1786 00:50:50,143 --> 00:50:50,844 activities that the traffic 1787 00:50:50,844 --> 00:50:51,511 engineering division organized 1788 00:50:51,511 --> 00:50:54,815 for bike tour every day that 1789 00:50:54,815 --> 00:50:55,782 was last thursday as part of 1790 00:50:55,782 --> 00:50:58,782 our larger bike month effort 1791 00:50:59,887 --> 00:51:00,887 for 2026. 1792 00:51:00,887 --> 00:51:01,588 >> so to begin with our morning 1793 00:51:01,588 --> 00:51:04,588 location this is the energizer 1794 00:51:04,859 --> 00:51:05,259 station that we've been hosting 1795 00:51:05,259 --> 00:51:07,128 at the city. 1796 00:51:07,128 --> 00:51:07,995 But for the covid interruption 1797 00:51:07,995 --> 00:51:10,931 for about ten years this was 1798 00:51:10,931 --> 00:51:11,865 until last year hosted in front 1799 00:51:11,865 --> 00:51:15,680 of city hall last year and this 1800 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:15,836 year we moved it to broadway in 1801 00:51:15,836 --> 00:51:16,337 newark at the crossing of the 1802 00:51:16,337 --> 00:51:18,337 iron horse trail. 1803 00:51:18,805 --> 00:51:19,473 This is an area where we have a 1804 00:51:19,473 --> 00:51:21,473 larger roadway improvements 1805 00:51:22,844 --> 00:51:23,544 project underway so this is 1806 00:51:23,544 --> 00:51:26,214 also a chance to do outreach 1807 00:51:26,214 --> 00:51:26,914 with people directly on site 1808 00:51:26,914 --> 00:51:27,615 and additionally just being 1809 00:51:27,615 --> 00:51:30,150 closer to the trail is a much 1810 00:51:30,150 --> 00:51:30,851 better way to get cyclists on 1811 00:51:30,851 --> 00:51:33,851 their way to different places. 1812 00:51:33,954 --> 00:51:34,688 So like last year we had 1813 00:51:34,688 --> 00:51:37,880 significantly higher numbers of 1814 00:51:37,992 --> 00:51:38,425 cyclists come by than the city 1815 00:51:38,425 --> 00:51:40,425 hall location. 1816 00:51:40,561 --> 00:51:43,664 We had to about 200 this year. 1817 00:51:43,664 --> 00:51:44,465 There were some concerns about 1818 00:51:44,465 --> 00:51:45,166 rdundancy with the bike walk 1819 00:51:45,166 --> 00:51:47,835 walnut creek location also on 1820 00:51:47,835 --> 00:51:48,502 the trail pretty close by but 1821 00:51:48,502 --> 00:51:48,836 there didn't seem to be any 1822 00:51:48,836 --> 00:51:50,836 issues. 1823 00:51:50,904 --> 00:51:51,939 Many cyclists are happy to 1824 00:51:51,939 --> 00:51:55,420 visit many or even all of the 1825 00:51:55,420 --> 00:51:55,710 energizer stations and you 1826 00:51:55,710 --> 00:51:58,710 know, we all offer slightly 1827 00:51:59,146 --> 00:51:59,613 different things so it worked 1828 00:51:59,613 --> 00:52:00,347 out pretty well. 1829 00:52:00,347 --> 00:52:03,484 It also that morning allowed us 1830 00:52:03,484 --> 00:52:04,185 to advertise as our evening 1831 00:52:04,185 --> 00:52:07,185 afternoon event in civic park 1832 00:52:07,689 --> 00:52:08,322 which is what most of this 1833 00:52:08,322 --> 00:52:10,722 presentation will be about 1834 00:52:10,724 --> 00:52:11,926 because it was a big change. 1835 00:52:11,926 --> 00:52:15,228 So you an see here a picture 1836 00:52:15,228 --> 00:52:18,228 it's called the bike rodeo. 1837 00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:19,700 So this is a almost like a 1838 00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:22,100 festival in civic park. 1839 00:52:22,403 --> 00:52:23,137 So compared to the morning 1840 00:52:23,137 --> 00:52:23,771 energizer station which is just 1841 00:52:23,771 --> 00:52:25,771 sustainability and traffic 1842 00:52:26,307 --> 00:52:26,707 engineering hosting like one 1843 00:52:26,707 --> 00:52:28,707 table each. 1844 00:52:29,843 --> 00:52:30,244 This was a much, much larger 1845 00:52:30,244 --> 00:52:30,944 undertaking. 1846 00:52:30,944 --> 00:52:31,278 We had partnerships with local 1847 00:52:31,278 --> 00:52:33,278 vendors. 1848 00:52:34,281 --> 00:52:34,682 We had an obstacle course for 1849 00:52:34,682 --> 00:52:35,383 cyclists. 1850 00:52:35,383 --> 00:52:37,585 We had information booths for 1851 00:52:37,585 --> 00:52:38,385 many more city departments and 1852 00:52:38,385 --> 00:52:40,385 some local organizations. 1853 00:52:42,230 --> 00:52:42,990 So just to give you a sense of 1854 00:52:42,990 --> 00:52:43,290 the scale, this is a map of the 1855 00:52:43,290 --> 00:52:44,580 event. 1856 00:52:44,580 --> 00:52:46,327 If you know the civic park 1857 00:52:46,327 --> 00:52:47,128 layout, that bottom left corner 1858 00:52:47,128 --> 00:52:49,397 is the bridge into the parking 1859 00:52:49,397 --> 00:52:50,431 lot. 1860 00:52:50,431 --> 00:52:51,232 So you can see we had many 1861 00:52:51,232 --> 00:52:53,801 booths in that kind of cul de 1862 00:52:53,801 --> 00:52:54,168 sac central area stretching up 1863 00:52:54,168 --> 00:52:54,835 the path. 1864 00:52:54,835 --> 00:52:57,835 And then the larger obstacle 1865 00:53:00,410 --> 00:53:00,875 course by carmel drive. 1866 00:53:00,875 --> 00:53:01,543 So there's a picture of the 1867 00:53:01,543 --> 00:53:04,245 obstacle course you can see 1868 00:53:04,245 --> 00:53:04,913 there it's a chance for kids to 1869 00:53:04,913 --> 00:53:05,413 kind of practice biking in a 1870 00:53:05,413 --> 00:53:07,413 safe environment. 1871 00:53:07,849 --> 00:53:08,516 They can learn about safety 1872 00:53:08,516 --> 00:53:10,916 practices and improve their 1873 00:53:11,953 --> 00:53:12,654 maneuvering just kind of get 1874 00:53:12,654 --> 00:53:13,354 generally more comfortable on 1875 00:53:13,354 --> 00:53:16,124 the seat of their bike driving 1876 00:53:16,124 --> 00:53:19,494 on the road, biking on the road 1877 00:53:19,494 --> 00:53:20,161 and you know, if they can 1878 00:53:20,161 --> 00:53:20,828 complete the obstacle course 1879 00:53:20,828 --> 00:53:22,831 they can feel more confident 1880 00:53:22,831 --> 00:53:23,598 about themselves and be better 1881 00:53:23,598 --> 00:53:25,998 prepared to handle

00:53:33,975 --> 00:53:34,609 Our pedal passport the traffic 1886 00:53:34,609 --> 00:53:36,609 engineering booth provided 1887 00:53:37,945 --> 00:53:40,848 these to anyone who wanted one. 1888 00:53:40,848 --> 00:53:41,683 The idea is hat each page has 1889 00:53:41,683 --> 00:53:42,284 a place where you can get 1890 00:53:42,284 --> 00:53:44,786 stamped by ne of the 1891 00:53:44,786 -->

gift cards and we use them 1901 00:54:09,578 --> 00:54:10,378 all and in fact we had one 1902 00:54:10,378 --> 00:54:11,790 unfortunately one additional 1903 00:54:11,790 --> 00:54:14,150 person who came after we'd run 1904 00:54:14,150 --> 00:54:14,683 out but they were very 1905 00:54:14,683 --> 00:54:17,830 understanding luckily and we 1906 00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:19,387 also had a polaroid

kids were excited 1917 00:54:31,566 --> 00:54:33,968 to get their picture taken. 1918 00:54:33,968 --> 00:54:34,669 You can see in the back of that 1919 00:54:34,669 --> 00:54:35,337 photo there there's kind of a 1920 00:54:35,337 --> 00:54:37,505 billowing like yellow orange 1921 00:54:37,505 --> 00:54:38,439 curtain. 1922 00:54:38,439 --> 00:54:39,107 That was a little photo booth 1923

appreciated the photo booth so 1930 00:54:51,686 --> 00:54:52,387 newly this year we had a much 1931 00:54:52,387 --> 00:54:53,121 larger collaboration with the 1932 00:54:53,121 --> 00:54:55,990 kind

00:55:11,640 walk walnut creek which is a 1943 00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:12,341 local kind of pedestrian 1944 00:55:12,341 --> 00:55:14,341 bicycle advocacy organization. 1945 00:55:15,811 --> 00:55:19,470 we also had vendors show up. 1946 00:55:19,470 --> 00:55:19,681 This was soul house matcha in 1947 00:55:19,681 --> 00:55:22,810 their debut appearance jp 1948 00:55:22,951 -->

donations. 1952 00:55:27,756 --> 00:55:28,424 Others were selling but they 1953 00:55:28,424 --> 00:55:30,459 definitely helped add to the 1954 00:55:30,459 --> 00:55:31,259 atmosphere and provide more 1955 00:55:31,259 --> 00:55:33,659 activities and options for 1956 00:55:34,263 --> 00:55:35,164 people who were attending. 1957 00:55:35,164 --> 00:55:38,164 >> so overall this event was 1958 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:39,702 definitely a huge success. 1959 00:55:39,702 --> 00:55:40,402 I think we brought a lot of joy 1960 00:55:40,402 --> 00:55:42,771 to a lot of kids and families 1961 00:55:42,771 --> 00:55:43,471 we helped you know, dispense a 1962 00:55:43,471 --> 00:55:46,471 lot of great information about 1963 00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:47,509 biking, walking sustainably in 1964 00:55:47,509 --> 00:55:48,210 walnut creek. 1965 00:55:48,210 --> 00:55:50,312 There are some lessons learned 1966 00:55:50,312 --> 00:55:51,213 that we would want to take 1967 00:55:51,213 --> 00:55:51,580 forward if e were going to do 1968 00:55:51,580 --> 00:55:53,580 it again. 1969 00:55:54,383 --> 00:55:54,783 The children were younger than 1970 00:55:54,783 --> 00:55:56,783 we expected. 1971 00:55:57,253 --> 00:55:57,953 It was mostly around 4 to 8 1972 00:55:57,953 --> 00:56:00,953 years old with their parents. 1973 00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:01,757 Most e-bike and bicycle safety 1974 00:56:01,757 --> 00:56:04,157 advocacy is typically targeted 1975 00:56:05,610 --> 00:56:05,761 more at like kind of 12 to 18 1976 00:56:05,761 --> 00:56:08,563 like tweens and teenagers who 1977 00:56:08,563 --> 00:56:09,398 are out biking on their own who 1978 00:56:09,398 --> 00:56:12,501 might be riding e-bikes in a 1979 00:56:12,501 --> 00:56:13,168 kind of unsafe speed or fashion 1980 00:56:13,168 --> 00:56:13,535 so that they can learn best 1981 00:56:13,535 --> 00:56:15,535 practices. 1982 00:56:16,839 --> 00:56:17,539 So that had kind of been what 1983 00:56:17,539 --> 00:56:18,841 we'd expecting which is why we 1984 00:56:18,841 --> 00:56:19,208 opened at 3:00 after school 1985 00:56:19,208 --> 00:56:19,372 gets out. 1986 00:56:19,372 --> 00:56:19,741 - 1987 00:56:19,741 --> 00:56:20,376 but we saw that it was 1988 00:56:20,376 --> 00:56:22,776 definitely a much younger 1989 00:56:23,379 --> 00:56:24,460 demographic who are kind of 1990 00:56:24,460 --> 00:56:24,646 just learning the basics of 1991 00:56:24,646 --> 00:56:26,646 cycling, doing practice 1992 00:56:27,149 --> 00:56:29,549 sometimes with training wheels. 1993 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,288 And that also meant that they 1994 00:56:33,288 --> 00:56:34,220 the spike in attendance was 1995 00:56:34,220 --> 00:56:34,723 after 5:00 when their parents 1996 00:56:34,723 --> 00:56:36,992 could take them directly after 1997 00:56:36,992 --> 00:56:37,893 work. 1998 00:56:37,893 --> 00:56:40,429 We also learned that rodeo is 1999 00:56:40,429 --> 00:56:40,729 not a great fit for walnut 2000 00:56:40,729 --> 00:56:41,530 creek. 2001 00:56:41,530 --> 00:56:44,133 People thought it was some kind 2002 00:56:44,133 --> 00:56:45,670 of a hoedown or something. 2003 00:56:45,670 --> 00:56:47,836 It's it's not really the kind 2004 00:56:47,836 --> 00:56:49,710 of place we are. 2005 00:56:49,710 --> 00:56:49,772 So if we were going to o it 2006 00:56:49,772 --> 00:56:52,700 again we would probably choose 2007 00:56:52,700 --> 00:56:55,411 a name that's a little bit less 2008 00:56:55,411 --> 00:56:56,212 home on the range. 2009 00:56:56,212 --> 00:56:56,379 We would also probably want to 2010 00:56:56,379 --> 00:56:56,679 - 2011 00:56:56,679 --> 00:56:58,679 increase staffing. 2012 00:56:59,548 --> 00:57:00,249 We had enough to make it work 2013 00:57:00,249 --> 00:57:00,949 but it was more strained than 2014 00:57:00,949 --> 00:57:03,352 we typically like to plan for. 2015 00:57:03,352 --> 00:57:04,530 That's just something where you 2016 00:57:04,530 --> 00:57:04,453 have to kind of do it and see 2017 00:57:04,453 --> 00:57:06,453 how it goes. 2018 00:57:07,289 --> 00:57:07,890 So now we know we could also 2019 00:57:07,890 --> 00:57:09,890 revise certain passport 2020 00:57:10,460 --> 00:57:10,726 exercises like the mad libs 2021 00:57:10,726 --> 00:57:11,460 one. 2022 00:57:11,460 --> 00:57:14,197 We had our traffic engineering 2023 00:57:14,197 --> 00:57:14,998 booth supervising and stamping 2024 00:57:14,998 --> 00:57:15,665 that and managing handing out 2025 00:57:15,665 --> 00:57:18,650 the passports and redeeming 2026 00:57:18,801 --> 00:57:19,502 them and it could lead to lead 2027 00:57:19,502 --> 00:57:22,304 to some, you know, holdups and 2028 00:57:22,304 --> 00:57:25,904 delays and we would also have 2029 00:57:26,209 --> 00:57:26,943 more trash facilities nd staff 2030 00:57:26,943 --> 00:57:29,545 also just something you kind of 2031 00:57:29,545 --> 00:57:29,812 have to try and see how it goes 2032 00:57:29,812 --> 00:57:30,647 . 2033 00:57:30,647 --> 00:57:33,647 We are considering also adding 2034 00:57:33,983 --> 00:57:34,583 something to the passport about 2035 00:57:34,583 --> 00:57:35,284 trash pickup so that the 2036 00:57:35,284 --> 00:57:37,920 attendees have an incentive to 2037 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:38,821 participate and help out. 2038 00:57:38,821 --> 00:57:39,421 >> especially for kids it's a 2039 00:57:39,421 --> 00:57:41,357 great way to teach them 2040 00:57:41,357 --> 00:57:42,424 sustainable practices. 2041 00:57:42,424 --> 00:57:45,861 >> o I just want to give a 2042 00:57:45,861 --> 00:57:46,529 special thanks to a lot of the 2043 00:57:46,529 --> 00:57:46,796 organizations that helped us 2044 00:57:46,796 --> 00:57:47,396 out. 2045 00:57:47,396 --> 00:57:49,396

2219 01:02:15,399 --> 01:02:16,000 groups including some of the 2220 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:16,567 like families with young 2221 01:02:16,567 --> 01:02:18,669 children who we got to 2222 01:02:18,669 --> 01:02:19,403 advertise the evening event to. 2223 01:02:19,403 --> 01:02:19,770 There was still probably more 2224 01:02:19,770 --> 01:02:21,770 of those. 2225 01:02:23,700 --> 01:02:23,708 Yeah,

of them didn't so you 2229 01:02:30,681 --> 01:02:31,348 know we did mention the evening 2230 01:02:31,348 --> 01:02:34,718 event to them where we could 2231 01:02:34,718 --> 01:02:35,530 but it seems like they were not 2232 01:02:35,530 --> 01:02:35,753 enticed. 2233 01:02:35,753 --> 01:02:38,489 >> and do you feel like it was 2234 01:02:38,489 --> 01:02:41,693 about the same level as last 2235 01:02:41,693 --> 01:02:42,930 year at that station as your it 2236 01:02:42,930 --> 01:02:43,940 was similar. 2237 01:02:43,940 --> 01:02:45,262 It was a little less last year 2238 01:02:45,262 --> 01:02:45,996 we had 219 and this ear it was 2239 01:02:45,996 --> 01:02:48,396 200 but still pretty comparable 2240 01:02:48,966 --> 01:02:49,500 and our old city hall stations 2241 01:02:49,500 --> 01:02:50,234 would get like 100. 2242 01:02:50,234 --> 01:02:52,637 >> so it's way better than that 2243 01:02:52,637 --> 01:02:54,637 great, great. 2244 01:02:56,307 --> 01:02:57,108 >> and and how did you decide 2245 01:02:57,108 --> 01:03:00,611 to have the evening event at 2246 01:03:00,611 --> 01:03:00,978 civic park instead of any other 2247 01:03:00,978 --> 01:03:02,978 location? 2248

is why 2305 01:04:33,172 --> 01:04:34,839 we are not allowed to bar them 2306 01:04:34,839 --> 01:04:35,741 there. 2307 01:04:35,741 --> 01:04:36,108 >> okay, that's t for my 2308 01:04:36,108 --> 01:04:38,108 questions. 2309 01:04:38,977 --> 01:04:40,977 Great. 2310 01:04:43,649 --> 01:04:44,249 What now when you had the 2311 01:04:44,249 --> 01:04:46,952 people showing up at the 2312 01:04:46,952 --> 01:04:47,419 station I'm running station the 2313 01:04:47,419 --> 01:04:49,419 morning station. 2314 01:04:49,655 --> 01:04:49,955 We're gathering feedback from 2315 01:04:49,955 --> 01:04:50,689 them. 2316 01:04:50,689 --> 01:04:53,890 Right or we're getting 2317 01:04:53,625 --> 01:04:54,326 questions were there any 2318 01:04:54,326 --> 01:04:56,726 thematic questions or comments 2319 01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:58,130 from the 200 folks? 2320 01:04:58,130 --> 01:05:00,399 You know that trail crossing is 2321 01:05:00,399 --> 01:05:01,466 pretty hairy. 2322 01:05:01,466 --> 01:05:04,436 It's got a very long signals 2323 01:05:04,436 --> 01:05:07,873 across a very wide you know, 2324 01:05:07,873 --> 01:05:08,773 stretches of roadway. 2325 01:05:08,773 --> 01:05:09,441 So people are generally pretty 2326 01:05:09,441 --> 01:05:11,644 excited about the thought of 2327 01:05:11,644 --> 01:05:12,444 having a diagonal crossing 2328 01:05:12,444 --> 01:05:13,450 about how many general 2329 01:05:13,450 --> 01:05:15,450 improvements, you know, 2330 01:05:16,748 --> 01:05:17,382 unsurprised really since we 2331 01:05:17,382 --> 01:05:18,170 were right at that corner 2332 01:05:18,170 --> 01:05:18,517 catching people going from 2333 01:05:18,517 --> 01:05:20,517 corner to corner. 2334 01:05:20,619 --> 01:05:21,387 They were more focused on that 2335 01:05:21,387 --> 01:05:21,920 than on the other you know, new 2336 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:22,555 all ut improvements. 2337 01:05:22,555 --> 01:05:23,555 But that doesn't mean that 2338 01:05:23,555 --> 01:05:24,356 they're not meaningful. 2339 01:05:24,356 --> 01:05:27,956 It's just you know, what's the 2340 01:05:30,529 --> 01:05:32,929 demographic you're catching so 2341 01:05:34,599 --> 01:05:35,400 wat makes you comfortable with 2342 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,800 the thought of potentially 2343 01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:39,739 suspending the morning station 2344 01:05:39,739 --> 01:05:40,439 because there's obviously 2345 01:05:40,439 --> 01:05:42,608 something in the back of your 2346 01:05:42,608 --> 01:05:43,109 mind going away maybe we can do 2347 01:05:43,109 --> 01:05:43,809 without it. 2348 01:05:43,809 --> 01:05:44,109 >> what what's what's behind 2349 01:05:44,109 --> 01:05:46,109 that? 2350 01:05:47,146 --> 01:05:50,883 So we had kind of a postmortem 2351 01:05:50,883 --> 01:05:51,483 this morning as I alluded to in 2352 01:05:51,483 --> 01:05:53,883 the presentation a bit. 2353 01:05:54,587 --> 01:05:55,554 It was very draining on staff 2354 01:05:55,554 --> 01:05:57,954 time, resources nd energy. 2355 01:05:58,910 --> 01:05:59,580 So being able to consolidate 2356 01:05:59,580 --> 01:06:02,327 all of that into the evening 2357 01:06:02,327 --> 01:06:03,280 event leaves us with much more 2358 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:03,729 options to ake that much 2359 01:06:03,729 --> 01:06:06,729 better instead of having to 2360 01:06:06,732 --> 01:06:07,400 stretch ourselves so thin. 2361 01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:09,902 So it's not necessarily true 2362 01:06:09,902 --> 01:06:10,803 that we would do that. 2363 01:06:10,803 --> 01:06:13,606 It's just a possibility we're 2364 01:06:13,606 --> 01:06:14,306 exploring not only for our, you 2365 01:06:14,306 --> 01:06:14,940 know, time and energy but also 2366 01:06:14,940 --> 01:06:17,242 the people helping us the 2367 01:06:17,242 --> 01:06:19,242 volunteers potential donors 2368 01:06:20,513 --> 01:06:20,746 supplying things or showing up 2369 01:06:20,746 --> 01:06:21,713 . 2370 01:06:21,713 --> 01:06:24,116 It's basically just that if we 2371 01:06:24,116 --> 01:06:24,783 have, you know, one event 2372 01:06:24,783 --> 01:06:27,783 that's smaller scale and you 2373 01:06:28,321 --> 01:06:29,550 know, not as fun we have one 2374 01:06:29,550 --> 01:06:31,657 that's a much bigger deal being 2375 01:06:31,657 --> 01:06:32,491 able to consolidate everything 2376 01:06:32,491 --> 01:06:33,159 into that could potentially, 2377 01:06:33,159 --> 01:06:36,261 you know, have a much better 2378 01:06:36,261 --> 01:06:39,861 day overall all that we're also 2379 01:06:40,766 --> 01:06:41,434 looking at impact in terms of 2380 01:06:41,434 --> 01:06:42,135 the community and engagement 2381 01:06:42,135 --> 01:06:44,404 and we just feel like the the
