[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Manorhaven 5-28-2015 by L.L.
No. 4-2016. Amendments noted where applicable.[1]]
A.
The cost of fuel in the United States, especially in New York State
and Nassau County, continues to rise.
B.
It is well-documented that fossil fuel consumption by motor vehicles
is one of the greatest contributing factors to many environmental
problems facing us today.
C.
One of the ways that government can help reduce costs and help the
environment at the same time is through the purchase and use of hybrid,
alternative fuel, and electric motor vehicles.
D.
Hybrid gas-electric and alternative fuel motor vehicles, including
electric only, ethanol, and compressed natural gas, are already available
and being commercially marketed.
E.
With rising fuel costs and better technology in the near future,
such purchases of electric motor vehicles will become more cost effective
as estimated miles-per-gallon for these vehicles greatly exceeds gasoline-only
vehicles.
F.
It is important that The Village of Manorhaven remains committed
to saving the environment and taxpayer dollars.
