Why This Vote Matters
The city council approved spending $53,000 to purchase two electric vehicles to replace retired gas-powered cars in the city fleet. The money comes from the Environmental and Community Investment Agreement, so it won't affect the general budget. Six council members supported the purchase, with Thomas K. Butt abstaining from the vote. This continues the city's ongoing effort to convert its vehicle fleet from gas to electric power as part of its environmental goals.
