THE SEAL BEACH CITY COUNCIL DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:
Section 1. On January 10, 2011, the City Council approved grant agreements
with the State of California for the purchase of electric vehicle charging stations
and authorized a budget expenditure of $15,000 for their installation.
Section 2. Pursuant to police powers granted by its Charter and the California
Constitution, Seal Beach is authorized to establish regulations for the use of
public property and to adopt fees for municipal services, provided that such fees
do not exceed the cost to the City for providing the services.
Section 3. A. Use of City Property. The City Council hereby authorizes users
of electric vehicles to charge and recharge their vehicles at City operated
charging stations for a maximum of two hours per charging session. After the
expiration of the two hour period, the user is subject to parking violation fines.
B. Recouping Cost to City. The City Engineer has prepared a
written report analyzing the cost to the City of operating and maintaining an
electric vehicle charging station. The costs to the City include: maintenance and
replacement costs, the value of the parking spaces to be occupied by vehicles
using electric vehicle charging stations, and the cost of administering the point of
sale cost collection system for the electric vehicle charging stations. According
to the City Engineer's report, it will cost the City $2.42 per two -hour charging
session to operate and maintain electric vehicle charging stations.
Section 4. The City Council reviewed the City Engineer's report and
determined based on its independent judgment that imposition of a fee of $2.42
per two -hour charging session will enable the City to reasonably recover the cost
of providing an electric vehicle charging station without exceeding the cost of
providing such service.
Section 5. The City Council hereby adopts an electric vehicle charging station
fee of $2.42 for a two -hour charging session. The Council hereby directs the
City Clerk to revise the City's Master Fee Schedule accordingly.
Section 6. The adoption of this Resolution approves a charge for the purpose
of meeting the cost of operating and maintaining electrical vehicle charging
stations for public use and is therefore exempt from the California Environmental
Quality Act ( "CEQA "), Public Resources Code § 21080 et seq., pursuant to
Public Resources Code § 21080(b)(8)(A) and Section 15273(a)(1) of the CEQA
Guidelines.
Section 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this
resolution. This Resolution shall be effective upon adoption.
