Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution recreates 4.0 FTE positions within Metro Transit's operating budget.
The 2023 Adopted Operating Budget created 3.0 FTE High Voltage Technician positions to support the implementation and maintenance of new electric buses and charging infrastructure. Subsequently, Metro entered into an agreement for electric charging installation that also provides five years of warranty work and preventative maintenance for equipment.
