He said there aren't enough <br /> charging stations in parking lots for the county to successfully operate electric vehicles. He said <br /> they are working on a staff recommendation on which can be electrified and how much it will <br /> cost to install additional charging facilties in the parking lot. <br /> Commissioner Richards said she was at the unveiling of the Chapel Hill electric buses. <br /> She asked if the county is pursuing state funds for the electricrificaiton of the fleet. <br /> Theo Letman, Transportation Services Director, said the county was awarded a low <br /> emission grant from state. He said there are delays in the production of electric vehicles. He <br /> said there are supply chain issues and there are only a couple of manufacturers that produce <br /> the type of vehicles the county uses. <br /> Commissioner Richards said the beauty of the 10 year plan is that electric vehicles can <br /> be built into future years. She said it also takes several years to get these vehicles designed, <br /> tested, and on the road, so it will require taking a long term approach. <br /> Chair Price said the county has been looking at the VW grant for years, maybe even <br /> four years ago. She said that the county is making an attempt and has 28 hybrid cars and <br /> SUVs and 1 electric motorcycle for the Sheriff. <br /> Slide #24 <br /> FY2022-23 Recommended County Projects <br /> County Sustainability Policy <br /> — Build su stainable featuresin base project budgets <br /> Northern Campus PriAect <br /> Bonnie E�Gavltv Center <br /> • $5 kwPho6ovoltak syeteme(174 solar p3nele)eavedthG county$5,400tadate einceApril <br /> • Salar Waher HeatruMh 2 independemsolar panels <br /> • 2 Ran WatsfQammaforhMacapewatedrig use <br /> + EloctrK VohKis Charg.ng siamns chat urwo 2volwiss w0h posslb4Wyof arddwb l 2alat+ans <br /> + 0:c'voancyUnsoraf"bosh IlgimIng and WAC units los&&mofaywhon unoccupla<I <br /> • LED 5ghdg and larr flow plumbing Mims <br /> Parks operationsdase <br /> + 20kWPrata,roltwspstem(56 solar pawwls) <br /> + LED rghtsg ano law flaw plumbry Nures <br /> oetanlloncer"r <br /> • GeathemW WAG Systeme with BS weks at 40T deep <br /> + 150rtWF vspstemsseving$7,100seo a-@ r by*In May(406 Saw Poneft) <br /> * Eract�++carvahlcleCharyrya�abona�rry2ca�+x <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> 24 <br /> W11173 I CAROLINA <br />
