CC - Item 5A - Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locations and Restrictions at City Owned Parking FacilitiesROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: GLORIA MOLLEDA, CITY MANAGER A 'N ` .
DATE: AUGUST 28, 2018
SUBJECT: ELECTRICAL VEHICLE CHARGING STATION LOCATIONS AND
RESTRICTIONS AT CITY OWNED PARKING FACILITIES
California Vehicle Code Section 22511 allows a local authority to designate stalls or spaces in off street
parking facilities owned by that authority (City) for the exclusive purpose of charging and parking a
vehicle that is connected for electric charging purposes. It also allows the local authority to cite and
remove a vehicle from an electric vehicle charging station if the local authority has posted appropriate
signage stating that certain spaces are designated for electric vehicle charging purposes only.
DISCUSSION
The City currently has electric vehicle charging stations at two City owned parking facilities. There are
two stations that serve four vehicle stalls located at the Civic Center Plaza parking area between City Hall
and the Rosemead Community Recreation Center, and two stations that serve four vehicle stalls at the
Garvey Community Center parking area.
For the City to properly designate, install signage, and enforce parking restrictions for the electrical vehicle
station stalls, the City must formerly identify the locations being designated exclusively for electric vehicle
charging stations. The attached Resolution meets this requirement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt and approve Resolution No. 2018-49.
