SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION MODIFYING A FEE SCHEDULE TO BE COLLECTED
THROUGH CHARGEPOINT, INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, FOR
PUBLIC USE OF CITY-OWNED ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING
STATIONS
SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution authorizing the City of Pueblo to modify the existing fee schedule
for public use of City-owned electric vehicle charging stations located at: 120 S. Main
nd
Street, 700 N. Main Street, and 200 W. 2 Street. The updated rate schedule shall also
apply to any new City of Pueblo-owned charging stations installed at Main Street Parking
Garage, Weisbrod Parking Garage, and in the public parking lot at Pueblo Memorial
Airport while this fee schedule is in effect.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On February 26, 2020, Ordinance No. 9665 was approved establishing the Colorado
Energy Office Charge Ahead Colorado Project No. PL2002, budgeting and appropriating
funds in the amount of $27,000 for said Project, approving the terms and conditions of
the State of Colorado Small Dollar Grant Award from the Colorado Energy Office, and
approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Pueblo and Black Hills
Energy.
On July 27, 2020, Resolution 14439 was approved, approving an operating agreement
between ChargePoint, Inc., and the City related to the operation and maintenance of the
City-owned electric vehicle charging stations.
On July 27, 2020, Resolution 14440 was approved adopting a fee schedule for public use
of the three newly installed chargers.
On September 27, 2020, Resolution 14721 was approved modifying the fee schedule for
public use of the three vehicle charging stations.
BACKGROUND:
This Resolution will modify the existing fee schedule to establish a flat fee of zero dollars
per hour ($0.00) for charging electric vehicles at City-owned electric vehicle charging
stations through September 30, 2024. Effective October 1, 2024, the rate schedule shall
adjust to two dollars ($2.00) per hour unless otherwise updated by resolution of City
Council.
ChargePoint, the service vendor, is operated through a mobile application which tracks
data and collects payments. Those payments are then delivered to the City of Pueblo via
check or direct deposit. Under the original grant provided to fund installation of the
chargers, the City of Pueblo has a five-year service contract with ChargePoint, which
includes support and maintenance of the charging stations through October 2025. At the
end of the grant, the City of Pueblo may choose to continue with ChargePoint, change
vendors, or develop its own interface with the charging stations. These electric vehicle
charging stations will be managed by City’s Public Works Department.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Under the operating agreement with ChargePoint, the City has sole discretion to assess
fees for electric vehicle charging and if assessed, ChargePoint will collect and remit such
fees less ChargePoint’s collection fee which is ten percent (10%) of all revenues
collected. If fees are not assessed, no collection fee will be due ChargePoint. The fee
schedule adjusts in October 2024, to two dollars ($2.00) per hour which will allow the City
of Pueblo to recover the cost of electricity used and other administrative costs associated
with operating and maintaining the charging stations.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Resolution is not approved, the City of Pueblo will need to be able to activate and/or
collect any revenues from the newly installed City of Pueblo owned electric vehicle
charging stations until a rate for service is established.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Approve the Resolution.
