The Culver Town Council members opened a public hearing Tuesday night to take public comments on the proposed ordinance that would regulate fees on town-owned electric vehicle charging stations.
The town’s charging station is on East Jefferson Street near Main Street.
The town was the recipient of a grant through the Indiana Department of Environmental Management with Volkswagon. That grant stipulates that the town must allow the first two hours of charging for free, but a fee may be charged for anything over two hours through October 31, 2024.
The town has chosen a $3.00 fee per hour.
There were no public comments.
Following the closure of the public hearing, the council unanimously voted to approve the first reading of the ordinance. The members voted to suspend the rules and approved the second and third reading of the ordinance.
