BACKGROUND

Duke Energy has solicited proposals from eligible local and state government entities, as well as non-profits, for the installation of electric vehicle charging stations.  Duke Energy will provide 100% reimbursement for all approved projects.  Gaston County Public Works applied for and was awarded $10,000 in funding.  This will allow Public Works to install two (2) electric vehicle charging stations.  Both will be installed at the Health Department.  These two new stations will bring the total number of County owned electric vehicle charging stations to five (5).  Approval of this Board Action formally accepts grant funds totaling $10,000 and appropriates the funds into the proper accounts.  Further, this Board Action authorizes the County Attorney to prepare the necessary contract documents and the County Manager or his designee to approve necessary agreements for grant and station installation purposes.
