Operations (Lead by Example) and established a goal of municipal operations carbon
neutrality by 2030; and
WHEREAS, the Lead by Example plan reports that fleet vehicle usage accounts
for 39 percent of the City’s operational emissions and sets a goal that the “City eliminates
fossil fuel use in vehicle and equipment fleet" with specific objectives to, among other
things “achieve 100% all-electric light duty vehicles (excluding certain long-range and
public safety vehicles)” and “achieve 50% zero emissions medium and heavy-duty
vehicles” by 2030; and
WHEREAS, the City is currently installing electric vehicle charging infrastructure
to support achievement of these goals and objectives; and
