Kaysville moves EV charging fees to Parks & Recreation; council approves resolution

Summary

The council approved a resolution to reclassify public EV charging stations as park assets and transfer fee administration to Parks & Recreation, placing the fees in the FY26 consolidated fee schedule under parks. Staff said the chargers are on public park property and parks staff will now manage maintenance and fees.

Kaysville City Council voted Nov. 6 to amend the FY26 consolidated fee schedule to move fees and management of public electric-vehicle charging stations into the Parks & Recreation fee schedule.

Cole Stevens, director of parks and recreation, told the council the change is essentially a transfer of responsibility from the Power Department to Parks because the chargers are located on public park property. "They will transition to a park asset," Stevens said during his presentation.

Council members moved to approve the resolution after a brief presentation and discussion. The resolution places the line item for charging fees in the parks fee schedule and makes Parks & Recreation responsible for day-to-day management and maintenance. No changes to the substantive fee amounts were described at the meeting; staff said the consolidated fee schedule will show the new departmental assignment.

The council approved the motion by voice vote.
