    Re: Agenda Item 3e, May 9, 2023 Board of Supervisors

    On August 3, 2021, your Board adopted a Resolution in support of a Carbon Free Mendocino. You declared your intent to take actions that will reduce and eliminate the County’s carbon footprint.

    The Coast Democratic Club wrote to you in support of that Resolution.

    Today, in that regard, we urge you to support the appropriate grant applications proposed to add EV 3 high speed charging stations on the Mendocino Coast and inland.

    High speed charging stations must be part of Carbon Free Mendocino. We want Mendocino County to be a place that is climate conscious and forward planning for an electric powered future. Our residents and visitors depend on your actions. Without EV 3 charging stations, driving to places around our vast County in reasonable time will not be feasible. Let's do our part in keeping with the State's 2030 climate goals. Gas powered vehicles, practically speaking, will be something of the past in another decade.

    Thank you for your consideration.
