Aurora is looking at installing electrical vehicle charging stations at the new Public Works building on the far East Side of the city. Aldermen at this week’s Infrastructure and Technology Committee meeting recommended an agreement with Maryland-based Blink Network, LLC to install 10 EV charging stations at the new building, with the potential of more at other city buildings. The cost of the stations to the city would be $68,396. At least half the overall cost of the project would be paid for through a ComEd grant program that would provide up to $8,000 for each station up to 10. With the grant program available, Ian Wade, of the city’s Engineering Division, said officials thought it would be good to find “a consistent vendor” to develop a single, standardized charging network for the city, as well as a revenue collection system. “The grant was the catalyst to get a vendor to take advantage,” Wade said. The city would have four dual port charging stations at the front of the building, outside the fence, so both staff members and the public could take advantage of them. Because they are dual port, it would actually allow eight vehicles to charge at once. There would be six more dual port installations for city use only at the facility. Blink also would rough in 10 to 12 EV charging stations inside the fleet storage area, for a longer term use “when we can get large EVs,” Wade said. “We’re looking ahead to the future,” he said. Wade said city officials decided that rather than finding a charging “product off the shelf and installing it,” the city would go through the request for queries process. Blink was one of three vendors that responded. “We wanted to select a vendor the right way, that we feel comfortable with going forward with the future,” he said. He said while the city is getting a grant for the first 10 stations, ComEd will continue to make the program available until the money is used up. The city is looking at other programs that provide such grants, Wade said. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Ald. Brandon Tolliver, 7th Ward, a committee member. “I appreciate the proactiveness on this, especially for the potential of having the bigger vehicles, if that ever happens.” slord@tribpub.com7xm app download 。

Elections BC is drawing scrutiny which threatens to undermine taxpayer’s faith in our elections. That’s a problem. Here’s the solution: call a public inquiry into Elections BC, not a politicised process through legislative committees working behind closed doors. There is nothing to suggest the B.C. provincial election was stolen. There is nothing to suggest Elections BC was in cahoots with one party or another. But that doesn’t mean we can afford to turn a blind eye to its mishandling of the most important day in our democratic cycle. In a democracy, taxpayers must have faith in elections and repeated errors from Elections BC erodes that trust. And make no mistake, Elections BC did mess up its handling of the provincial election. The problems with Elections BC range from bad to worse. It took Elections BC more than a week to finish the preliminary tally of votes. Voting closed Oct. 19, but the final count didn’t occur until Oct. 28. British Columbians shouldn’t be left in limbo because Elections BC workers didn’t stay late to count votes. And it shouldn’t take an extra week for the final count to begin. Then came the revelation that Elections BC officials were storing ballots in their personal homes. Think about that for a moment. When you cast your ballot, did you imagine it would find its way into the basement of someone’s home? British Columbians generally believe Elections BC acts in good faith. But why allow questionable chains of custody for the most important pieces of paper in a democracy? Why risk storing ballots in home basements instead of secure government buildings? In three-quarters of B.C.’s 93 ridings, mistakes by Elections B.C. led to unreported votes. That’s unacceptable. To be fair, all the votes were eventually accounted for and counted. But our elections are too important to risk with these kinds of blunders. Both the ruling NDP and Opposition BC Conservatives agree there needs to be an investigation into Elections BC’s mistakes. The NDP wants an all-party committee made up of MLAs to probe Elections BC. But that’s not good enough. Legislative committees are political and are made up of politicians fighting for the spotlight. They can hide behind in camera meetings the public doesn’t have access to. For the public to have faith in our elections, the public needs to be involved in the inquiry. That’s what the BC Conservatives are calling for: an independent public review. British Columbians need to have faith in our elections, so the public must be a part of the investigation. This is far too important an issue for taxpayers to be shunted off to the side while politicians play partisan games.
