Ms. Taylor called for a vote on Ms. Ortiz's previously stated motion. The <br />motion passed unanimously, 3:0. <br />Oregon Electric Vehicle and Electric Vehicle Charging Network Grant Application <br />Ms. Wilson provided a brief description of the grant application and noted that it was due on May 20, <br />2009. <br />Parking Services Manager Jeff Petry noted that he had been in discussions with EWEB representatives and <br />with them had begun to coordinate with State efforts to purchase and utilize electric vehicles as part of the <br />City's fleet vehicle replacement schedule. <br />Mr. Petry commented that the City staff's strategy to employ electric vehicles for fleet purposes and to <br />make use of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant funding through the Oregon <br />Way Advisory Group was to provide parking and charging stations in addition to the purchase of the <br />vehicles themselves. <br />Mr. Petry directed the committee members to his memorandum dated May 19, 2009 regarding the grant <br />application and noted that the cost listed to purchase and convert hybrid electric vehicles to plug-in electric <br />vehicles was actually zero since the City planned to convert its current fleet of Prius hybrid vehicles rather <br />than purchase new hybrid vehicles. <br />Ms. Ortiz, seconded by Mr. Poling, moved to support Staff's request for au- <br />thority to submit a letter of commitment to the State of Oregon's Oregon <br />Way Advisory Group as described in the staff memorandum of May 19, 2009. <br />The motion passed unanimously, 3:0. <br />Mr. Petry noted that he would keep the committee members advised of any future developments regarding <br />the grant application and corresponding electric vehicle projects. <br />4.Items from Members and Staff <br />Mr. Poling, seconded by Ms. Ortiz, moved to adopt the staff recommendation <br />for priorities and recommendations for all bills that were not pulled for <br />discussion for the May 20, 2009 CCIGR meeting and the committee action for <br />all bills that were discussed and acted upon at that meeting. The motion <br />passed unanimously, 3:0. <br />Ms. Taylor adjourned the meeting at 1:55 p.m. <br />(Recorded by Wade Hicks) <br />MINUTES—Council Committee on Intergovernmental Relations May 20, 2009 Page 3 <br />
