City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Date: June 5, 2023 Agenda Number: 10.h. Agenda Section: CONSENT CALENDAR File Number: 23-233 File Type: Staff Report COUNCIL PRIORITY ·Infrastructure ·Sustainability & Resiliency ·Community & Business Development SUMMARY The proposed master site license agreement will allow East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), a Joint Powers Authority, to install, operate, and maintain Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) to fuel electric vehicles (EV) at multiple municipal facilities. As shown in Exhibit A of the master license agreement, EV-only parking stalls will be assessed for feasibility, and may be installed at one or more parking lots or garages. EBCE’s standard project design is a minimum of 10-dual port DCFCs at each project site. However, EBCE ’s feasibility assessments may reveal that size and volume of chargers at certain specific sites may need to be modified based on available parking stalls and electrical capacity at the site. All DCFCs will be available for use by the public, via payment of dynamic rates that will vary over time based on market conditions. EBCE will pay for the installation, operation, maintenance, and electricity costs. This agreement allows EBCE to operate these EV fast chargers and associated electrical equipment on City of San Leandro (City) property for 15 years. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution to approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a license agreement with East Bay Community Energy, a Joint Powers Authority of which the City of San Leandro is a member agency, for installing, operating, and maintaining electric vehicle fast chargers at multiple municipal facilities at no cost to the City. BACKGROUND Vehicle electrification is an important strategy for air quality improvement and is identified as a priority action item in San Leandro’s adopted Climate Action Plan (CAP). Cars and trucks burning gasoline and diesel fuels presently create most of San Leandro’s local greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), as well as other air pollutants. To reduce the pollution impacts of vehicles, the CAP notes that it is incumbent upon the City to assist as many of San Leandro’s residents as possible to move around without the use of fossil-fuel burning vehicles. Active transportation (walking and biking) and public transportation are top priorities. For those who must use vehicles, electrification of such vehicles is a key element in the City’s ongoing efforts to reduce carbon Page 1 City of San Leandro Printed on 5/31/2023
