Speaker 3: Thank you. There's a motion any second. These are public comment on this.
Speaker 5: If there are any members of the public that would like to speak on item 21 in person, please line up at the podium in the zoom. Please use the raise hand feature or Dr. Knight. We do have one person in Zoom, Pete Marsh. Your time begins now. You have 3 minutes. Check if your muted press star nine.
Speaker 6: And can you hear me now?
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 6: Okay. Very sorry. Good evening, Mr. Mayor. Council members. Thank you very much. Pete Marsh, District two. I submitted you comment on this also, and I wanted to actually walk that back very slightly. The comment encouraged you to consider deferring this purchase until electric versions of these trucks are available. And but I remembered hearing a brief last summer to the Sustainable City Commission by our Fleet Services Department and being impressed. And I went back and found that and learned relearned that they're rated as one of the top fleets in the nation and even in heavy duty trucking with plans currently in development to go zero emissions on metal and heavy duty trucks. I think in advance of the requirements from CARB but and councilmember Al staff also confirmed that they had talked with public works about this. So basically this is it's a fantastic opportunity to think about where we need to go with our purchases as soon as the market allows, which is evolving very, very rapidly in the right direction. And that's electric electric vehicles in all size scales, but also electrified machines in every other way we can. Essentially, the way to cut demand for fossil fuels is to electrify things at every opportunity and use our purchasing power to do that on our purchasing program. So anyway, I just wanted to basically acknowledge that the fleet services folks have been already for several years. Looking ahead, I was hoping that we could get this purchase to be electric. It doesn't seem like that's feasible, but please just counsel. Keep encouraging the staff to lean forward into electrifying everything and thank you for what you've done so far.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
Speaker 5: That concludes public comment.
Speaker 3: We'll call that, please.
