MOTION
The following motion, put forward by Commissioner Robertson, was referred from the Meeting of the Board held on Monday, July 06, 2009.
Whereas the City of Vancouver's vision is to be the greenest and most sustainable city in the world, and
Whereas electric cars will rise to 35% of all cars produced in the world by 2025, of that 10% will be pure electric cars, and
Whereas many plug-in electric vehicles' range is 50 km and require only a 220-volt dryer or stove-type electrical outlet,
Therefore be it resolved that the Board direct staff to inventory the electrical infrastructure servicing Park Board parking lots and nearby areas to identify potential capacity available and outlets suitable for electric vehicle charging and identify the costs related to installing and operating outlets for electrical vehicle charging on a test basis.
The following motions were put forward by Commissioner Jasper:
A Whereas at the regular Board meeting on Monday, February 02, 2009, the Board
established two
committees, Services and Budgets and Planning and Environment and appointed the Chair and
Vice Chair and Committee members;
Therefore, Be It Resolved That the Board rescind the February 02, 2009 motion establishing the Committee and appointees.
B THAT the Vancouver Park Board change the Planning and Environment Committee as follows:
Commissioner Sarah Blyth, Chair
