Police & Community SafetyEnvironmentTransportation

In Plain English

The city currently has limited rules about where electric vehicle charging stations can be installed. Staff will present options for making it easier to build charging infrastructure throughout the city. If approved, new policies could speed up permits for home and business charging stations to prepare for more electric vehicles.
