City buildings could save ~$39,000/year in energy costs
Energy audits of Fire Station 1 and the DPW found potential savings of about $32,000 a year at the DPW and $6,700 a year at Fire Station 1, with projects to be weighed through the city's capital improvement process. Asbestos in the fire station's second-story ceiling is blocking upgrades.

The DPW presented plans to replace dead library and Withington lot chargers with dual-port Level 2 units by summer 2026 and to refresh the 2023 EV master plan with real user input, new fees, and consideration of light-post charging.
