policy
changes

and
consumption
of
sugary
drinks
and
increase
the
availability
of
consumption
of
healthier
alternatives.
I
move
approval
of
these
five
items,
but
I
will
pause
to
see
if
there
are
any
comments
from
my
colleagues
council.
Vice
president
Jenkins
Thank.
B
You,
chair,
Cunningham
I
am
just
curious
about
the
council
appointment
process,
I'm
looking
at
the
Southside
Green
Zone,
and
it
appears
that
you
know
this
this
body,
this
Advisory
Committee
I,
think
it
is
made
up
of
residents
from
Ward,
six
and
nine,
but
the
Southside
is
encompasses
much
more
than
that.
I'm
just
curious.
What's
the
process
for
these
appointments.
C
Councilmember
Jenkins,
the
process
has
been
quite
extensive
on
this
actually
and
council.
Member
Cano
has
been
very
involved
in
this
as
well
too.
We
started
doing
applications
in
late,
2008
2018
and
we
did
get
some
approval
of
Southside
Greendale
Council
folks.
Prior
to
this
point
in
time,
we
were
looking
here
to
be
able
to
expand
the
diversity
of
underrepresented
areas.
So
this
is
not
the
full
council,
that's
being
appointed
at
this
point
in
time
we
had
a
partial
appointment
at
it
at
that
time,
which
does
include
more
members
from
the
different
neighborhood.
C
C
Mr.
chair
council,
member
jenkins,
I
believe
it
is
18
members
that
are
on
the
council.
That's
it
I'm!
Sorry,
I'm
corrected
stand
corrected.
It's
20,
we've
shifted
it
around
a
little
bit
and
I
I
apologize
for
that.
So
it's
a
total
of
20
members
it
around
the
council.
This
is
the
second
round
we're
looking
at
adding
some
youth
folks
as
well.
C
C
A
You
I
would
also
like
to
note
that
the
Southside
Green
Zone
has
specific
boundaries.
It's
not.
It
does
not
encompass
the
entire
south
side,
so
there
are
specific
boundaries,
which
is
why
you
would
see
a
concentration
of
Ward
6
in
Ward
9.
It's
because
those
are
determined
based
on
pollution,
historical
pollution.
You
speak
to
the
the
boundaries
and
why
they
are
what
they
are
and
if
you
know
where
they
are,
that
would
be
appreciated.
C
My
brain,
where
yeah
mr.
chair
yeah,
it
does
go
down
to
approximately
Lake
Street
and
you've
got
it
yeah.
We
could
pull
up
the
boundaries
in
it,
but
it
includes
a
large
section
of
sort
of
Cedar
Riverside,
a
little
bit
of
sewer
most
of
Phillips
communities
in
there
a
little
bit
kind
of
ends
right
around
Lake
Street
and
includes
Ventura
Village
as
well
too.
C
It
was
based
on
really
overall
the
impact
of
environmental
injustice
or
decisions
that
were
made
that
impacted
the
community
and
affected
their
health
and
their
wealth
and
their
and
basically
their
abilities
to
be
able
to
succeed
and
be
prosperous
within
that
community.
So
there
was
a
number
of
different
factors
that
were
included
in
that,
but
it
did
include
you
know:
percentage
of
low-income
families,
environmental
impacts
from
like
I,
say
over
the
last
century,
or
more
and
really
tried
to
do
a
focus
specifically
to
correct
and
remediate
that
environmental
injustice
over
time.
D
E
Well,
I
did
find
the
map
of
it
here,
I'm,
pretty
sure
that
it
only
includes
the
ninth
and
the
sixth
Ward
I.
Don't
think
it
goes
into
the
eighth.
There
was
the
second
at
all
so,
but
the
map
I
found
doesn't
have
the
ward
boundaries
synched
up
with
it,
but
I'll
send
you
the
map
of
the
greens
on
itself,
but
as
I
recall,
it
just
has
two
wards
that
are
included.
F
F
The
East
African,
the
Latino
community
and
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
the
the
Southside
green
zones
and
the
North
had
green
zones
was
established
year
and
the
demographics
and
the
data
and
the
geography
of
it
is
defined
through
a
specific
scientific
method
of
identifying
the
areas
of
the
city
that
have
the
highest
level
of
pollution
and
overburdened
communities.
In
addition
to
the
city's
most
racially
diverse
areas,
as
well
as
the
most
low-income
areas
of
the
city.
F
A
Great
thank
you.
A
couple
items
that
I
would
like
to
speak
to
myself
is
I'm
excited
about
the
transgender
equity
council.
Appointments
getting
that
up
and
running
this
year
really
excited
to
see
the
work
that
comes
out
of
this
group
of
folks,
very
talented
folks
coming
to
the
table,
so
I'm
very,
very
grateful
for
the
work
that
will
be
done
through
this
entity
and
then
also
for
the
violence
prevention
work.
A
This
money
was
designated
in
the
2019
budget
at
the
end
of
last
year,
earmarked
for
specifically
downtown
strategies,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
that
it's
being
brought
forward
before
council
that
we're
gonna
be
able
to
support
folks
on
the
ground
like
mad
dads,
who
are
doing
amazing
violence
prevention,
work.
That
was
the
intention
for
the
funding
and
so
I'm
glad
to
see
it
coming
to
fruition.
So
with
that,
I
have
made
a
motion
to
approve
these
five
items.
A
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
and
those
items
are
passed.
The
now
we
are
moving
on
to
our
discussion
items,
so
we
have
three
items
that
are
gonna
be
up
for
discussion.
The
first
is
going
to
be
receiving
and
filing
an
update
on
the
progress
to
date
of
a
community-wide
100%
renewable
electric
blueprint.
A
Then
we're
gonna
be
following
that
up
with
a
discussion
about
transfer
of
2019
sustainability,
franchise
fee
funds,
then
the
last
will
be
it
transfer
funding
to
see
ped
to
support
the
development
of
passive
housing.
So
we'll
go
ahead
and
kick
it
off
talking
about
our
100%
renewable
electric
blueprint.
We
have
our
sustainability
director.
Mr.
Navy.
The
floor
is
yours.
C
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
so
thank
you,
council
members
for
the
opportunity
to
come
and
talk
with
you
today.
We've
got
a
lot
of
information
to
share
about
where
we're
going
in
regards
to
getting
achieving
our
goal
of
100
percent
renewable
electricity.
So
what
I
thought
I'd
do
is
start
off
with
just
a
little
bit
of
a
overview
of
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
so
that
we
can
kind
of
set
the
stage
and
be
able
to
go
a
little
bit
deeper
in
some
of
these
areas.
C
So
I'm
gonna
take
a
look
at
a
snapshot
of
our
current
city
emissions.
We're
gonna
look
at
what
our
overall
resolution
goals
were,
and
there
were
quite
a
few
of
them
as
part
of
this
process.
We're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
gonna
look
at
capacity
and
forecasting
of
our
energy
needs
going
forward
in
2030.
In
light
of
all
the
changes
that
are
happening
within
our
electric
grid.
C
We're
gonna
be
talking
about
what
are
really
some
of
the
barriers
to
our
success
and
there's
quite
a
few
of
them,
but
there's
opportunities
to
be
able
to
overcome
those
and
be
able
to
address
those.
We
also
want
to
talk
about
what
our
current
strategies
are,
that
we're
doing
right
now
actively
today
and
what
we
can
do
in
the
future,
and
then
we
want
to
talk
about
how
we
make
decisions
about
what
kind
of
strategies
we're
going
to
be
enacting
in
the
future.
C
So
what
this
is
our
latest
greenhouse
gas
emissions
chart
and
what
it
shows
is
that
we've
reduced
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions
and
citywide
activities
by
more
than
20%
over
our
base
year
of
2006.
Most
of
this
information
is
our
story.
Most
of
this
reduction
is
coming
actually
from
the
decarbonization
of
the
electric
grid.
C
This
is
a
chart
that
shows
the
specifics
about
what
sector
are
our
emissions
are
coming
from,
so,
as
you
can
see,
it's
approximately
36%
coming
from
electricity
consumption,
so
we
continue
to
have
a
very
large
amount
of
our
GHG
emissions.
Coming
from
there,
our
natural
gas
or
sometimes
I
like
to
refer
to
it
as
utility
gas.
After
all,
oil
and
coal
are
actually
natural
as
well.
If
you
look
at
it,
but
the
point
is
there
fossil
fuels,
they
are
emitting
carbon.
That
was
sequestered
for
millions
of
years,
and
this
is
another.
C
You
know
one
of
those
things
that
we
have
to
sort
of
frame
things
a
little
bit
different
in
our
narrative,
so
utility
gets
consumption
comes
from
about
35%
and
then
our
on-road
transportation
is
another
26%.
So,
as
we
are
shifting
from
using
less
utility
gas
and
using
less
fuels
for
transportation,
we
are
actually
shifting
much
of
that
load
onto
electricity,
so
it
becomes
much
more
important
for
us
to
be
look
at.
How
do
we
decarbonize
that
electric
grid
and
that's
exactly
what
the
point
of
this
resolution
is?
C
So
the
resolution
has
a
number
of,
as
you
can
see,
a
lot
of
different
areas
here
that
work,
but
we're
looking
at.
We
want
to
identify
the
impacts
on
the
climate
action
plan
and
how
the
climate
action
plan
is
going
to
be
affected
going
forward
in
the
future.
We
want
to
look
at
how
we
can
expand
and
propose
new
policies
that
achieve
these
particular
blueprints.
We
need
to
identify
financial
resources
that
are
available
and
costs
are
incurred
as
a
result
of
making
this
transition
away
from
fossil
fuels.
C
We
need
to
look
at
what
our
proposed
timeline
is.
How
do
we
get
from
where
we
are
today
in
2019
to
2030?
Where
we're
at
a
hundred
percent
renewables?
There
might
be
some
legislative
changes,
things
that
have
to
happen
that
are
different
than
what
we're
doing
today
and
we
may
need
to
have
some
regulatory
changes
so
identifying
what
those
options
might
be
and
proposing
particular
legislative
changes.
Identifying
the
impacts
to
each
of
the
different
kurz
that
I
talked
about
is
going
to
be
important
as
well.
C
To
specifically,
how
do
we
engage
people
to
really
buy
into
to
support
the
efforts
that
we're
doing
to
really
accelerate
the
work
that
can
happen
here?
We
also
have
to
focus
on
equitable
strategies.
How
are
we
going
to
do
this
in
a
way
that
doesn't
burden
communities
that
already
have
a
high
energy
burden
or
are
really
facing
high
energy
costs?
C
They
want
to
be
able
to
participate
as
much
as
anybody
else,
but
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
shift
costs
under
families
that
are
already
paying
a
significant
amount
of
their
monthly
income
and
energy
costs,
we're
looking
for
ways
to
engage
workforce
training
and
development
opportunities,
community
wealth
building,
community
investment.
How
do
we
look
at
creating
career
pathways,
and
things
like
that?
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that,
because
we
are
doing
some
things
this
summer
that
are
really
interesting
about
career
pathways
and
renewable
and
energy
efficiency.
C
The
2018
baseline
is
that
the
non
renewable
energy
components
make
up
about
two-thirds
of
the
overall
total
grid
demand
of
electricity
in
Minneapolis,
the
green
being
the
renewable
energy
sector.
We're
looking
at
really
focusing
on
how
to
reduce
our
overall
energy
demand
through
energy
efficiency
strategies
and
being
able
to
work
with
people
to
be
able
to
basically
take
different
options.
For
example,
the
work
that's
being
done
with
the
comp
plan.
2040
is
looking
at
alternative
transportation.
C
Options
can
significantly
reduce
our
demand
for
electricity,
even
if
you
have
an
electric
car,
because
you're
walking
or
you're
taking
your
bike
you're
taking
public
transit.
We're
also
looking
at
doing
some
deep
energy
retrofits
for
buildings.
Many
of
you
were
here
for
our
report
on
the
residential
energy
disclosures
and
our
goal.
There
is
to
see
20%
energy
reductions
over
a
five-year
period
of
time
across
our
benchmarked
buildings,
so
more
than
a
thousand
buildings.
C
So
this
number,
the
gray
area,
comes
from
the
energy
efficiency
potential
that
we
have
it's
part
of
a
study
that
was
completed
last
year
by
the
Center
for
energy
in
the
environment.
So,
if
we're
able
to
reduce
our
energy
demand,
then
the
remainder
of
those
particular
options
are
to
look
for
ways
that
the
city
can
facilitate
a
more
renewable
energy
for
the
community.
It
also
includes
the
more
decarbonized
grid,
and
then
it's
also
really
looking
at
maximizing
on-site
solar
within
the
city,
which
will
be
an
embedded
component
of
this
particular
plan.
C
E
C
E
E
C
Think
it
counts.
Member,
thank
you.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we've
got
a
number
of
barriers
and
challenges
some
headwind
facing
us,
and
they
are
some
of
them
in
a
in
a
positive
way.
We
can
look
at
them,
but
they
continue
to
be.
Barriers
should
be
able
to
achieve
that.
So,
for
example,
we
are
going
to
be
seeing
a
lot
of
growth
in
the
electric
for
electricity.
We've
got
Eevee's
that
are
coming
I.
Think
we're
really
going
to
be
looking
at
a
tipping
point
here
in
the
next
five
years.
C
There's
many
car
manufacturers
that
are
basically
shifting
their
efforts
to
v's
from
sedans
there's
an
electric
pickup
truck
that
I
just
read
over
the
weekend.
It's
coming
out.
That's
going
to
be
able
to
go
up
to
300
miles
on
a
charge.
We're
gonna
see
a
tremendous
change
out
in
our
electricity
because
of
demand
increases.
These
also
include
things
like
being
able
to
switch
over
to
heat
pumps
rather
than
using
a
natural
gas
furnace.
So
there's
a
going
to
be
a
tremendous
amount
of
increase
in
demand,
but
that's
a
barrier.
C
We
have
a
phase-out
of
a
number
of
renewable
energy
incentives.
The
solar
rewards
standard,
for
example,
offer
rewards
solar
rewards
funds
are
ending
in
2021,
so
we
hope
to
be
able
to
continue
those
who
are
looking
at
expanding
them
and
being
able
to
get
another
year.
That's
part
of
a
legislative
strategy
at
the
state,
the
phase-out
of
the
30%
federal
tax
credit
that
is
actually
going
to
phase
down
to
10%
for
commercial,
solar
installations
by
2022
and
0%
for
residential.
C
So
we're
really
going
to
have
to
see
prices
for
solar
to
continue
to
come
down
in
order
to
make
for
those
financial
incentives
going
away.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
have
existing
and
potentially
future
fossil
fuel
investments
by
Xcel
Energy.
They
are
looking
at
purchasing
of
600
megawatt
natural
gas
plant
in
Mankato
and
which
the
city
has
taken
a
position
against
that
at
the
PUC.
But
there
is
continued
investment
in
fossil
fuel
infrastructure.
C
There
is
a
number
of
different
things
happening
on
the
PUC
level
against
commercial,
a
large
commercial
solar,
really,
the
the
rate
that's
being
set
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
is
being
affected
by
this
on
when
there's
larger
scale
solar
projects,
they
are
given
a
certain
rate.
But
at
this
point
that's
called
the
capacity
factor
is
only
good
for
a
number
of
years
and
it
can
change
dramatically
so
being
consistent
on
really
our
commercial
solar
rate
design.
C
So
that
can
be
challenging
as
well.
There
is
some
good
news:
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
great
things.
As
you
know,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
has
been
very
active
with
programs
and
strategies.
We
have
very
strategic
use
of
our
franchise
fees,
which
will
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
later,
which
help
us
with
energy
efficiency
and
renewables.
We
have
a
successful
green
business,
cost
share
and
green
housing
cost
share
program
which
is
focusing
on
energy
efficiency.
In
those
two
sectors
we
have
the
continued
decarbonization
of
the
grid.
C
C
So
we're
still
going
to
look
at
having
to
have
40%
of
our
energy
being
covered
by
additional
renewable
above
the
60%
that
Excel
will
be
providing
by
2030
20%
of
that
is
going
to
be
related
to
nuclear.
The
other
20%
is
basically
going
to
be
coming
from
utility
natural
gas
plants,
so
we're
going
to
have
to
look
at
ways
to
have
our
own
renewable
energy
cover
that
additional
amount.
C
In
order
to
achieve
this
resolutions
goal,
we've
got
great
utility
conservation,
improvement
programs,
but
we'd
like
to
see
those
continue
to
expand
the
we'd
like
to
concede
the
continuation
of
solar
rewards,
but
it's
been
active
and
running
and
it
will
be
for
the
next
two
years,
the
federal
tax
credit
of
an
active
community
solar
gardens
program.
Again,
that's
somewhat
been
under
attack
as
well
too.
It's
almost
been
too
successful.
That's
been
the
problem
if
it
was
just
a
state,
a
little
small
program.
C
What
wouldn't
have
been
an
issue,
but
it's
been
very
successful
and
really
put
the
state
of
Minnesota
on
the
map
is
one
of
the
nation's
leaders
in
solar
and
we
also
have
renewable
connect
and
wind
source
which
are
opted
in
renewable
energy
programs.
But
as
you
many
many
of
you
know,
those
are
programs
that
are
all
at
premiums,
so
you're,
paying
one
or
two
cents
more
or
10
to
20
percent
more
of
your
energy
bill.
C
So
some
interesting
future
strategies
that
we're
looking
at
is
that
we
really-
and
these
are
I'm
gonna-
break
it
down
this
interventions
and
then
things
that
the
city
can
work
with
others
or
encourage
others
to
do,
and
the
city
interventions
are
really
about
increasing
the
ability
for
us
to
scale
up
our
green
business.
Cost
share.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
later
in
the
second
presentation,
but
we
have
tremendous
demand
for
these
energy
efficiency
programs
and
our
supply
of
leverage
dollars
are
already
used
up.
C
You
know
in
the
first
couple
of
rounds
out
of
four,
and
so
we
could
you
can
easily
double
triple
our
commitment
to
the
green
business
cost
share,
and
this
is
really
without
doing
any
heavy
advertising
or
outreach.
This
is
just
sort
of
word-of-mouth
and
people
seeing
it
on
the
website.
So
we
have
a
tremendous
demand
on
energy
efficiency,
especially
these
funding
go
to
small
businesses
to
mult
smaller
multifamily
properties.
Things
like
that
and,
of
course
they
also
support
our
4d,
affordable
housing
program,
so
green
business
class
share
needs
more
dollars.
C
Expanded
City,
Enterprise
participation,
community
gardens
we're
looking
at
doing
this
and
trying
to
expand
our
efforts
in
there,
but
we
need
to
have
space
and
we
again
have
limits.
We
have
a
cap
of
only
one
megawatt
currently
on
community
solar
Gardens
and
the
subscriber
single
subscriber
can
only
have
four
forty
percent
of
that
that
that
subscription
so
we're
limited
to
400
kW,
which
means
we
have
to
participate
in
a
lot.
Many
dozens.
You
know
hundred
different
community
solar
Gardens
in
order
to
really
have
an
impact
on
our
renewable
energy
portfolio.
C
We
want
to
look
at
ways
that
we
can
fully
utilize
our
facilities
and
our
property
to
maximize
out
our
renewable
energy,
especially
solar
on
buildings
properties.
Brian
Milberg
has
been
working
with
our
office
quite
extensively
to
look
at
the
water
utility
and
being
able
to
add
three
to
five
megawatts
up
there
on
underutilized
property.
A
C
C
So
a
typical
home
uses
about
a
thousand
kilowatt
hours
of
energy
on
a
monthly
basis,
so
that
would
be
a
bill
of
around
a
hundred
dollars,
maybe
folks,
whose
less
than
that
in
apartments
for
smaller
homes,
so
a
megawatt
is
going
to
be
a
thousand
of
those
particular
homes.
So
you're
gonna,
be
it's
a
pretty
grand
scale,
but
so
it's
you
know
somewhere
in
that
neighborhood
you're
gonna
be
using
that
much
more
for
each
of
the
different.
You
know.
C
A
C
Chair
the
the
it
was
set
in
negotiations,
but
but
the
state
of
Minnesota
actually
has
that
in
legislation.
So
Excel
was
part
of
the
negotiation.
So
we
would
have
to
go
to
the
legislature,
as
we
have
proposed
this
year,
to
increase
that
up
and
there
have
been
other
bills
that
have
attempted
to
increase
that.
That.
C
You
so
much
so
we
are
also
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
do
what
are
called
virtual,
ppas
or
rec.
Purchasing,
though,
that
not
adding
necessarily
to
the
amount
of
renewable
energy.
That's
out
there.
This
may
be
an
existing
renewable
energy
facility.
So
it's
something
that
to
be
considered
we're
also
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
align
across
all
of
our
city
departments.
I.
Think
what's
going
on
is
transportation,
of
course,
would
happen
with
the
comp
plan
and
what
we're
doing
with
seat
pad
on
passive
housing.
C
All
of
those
are
ways
that
we're
sort
of
crossing
over
and
utilizing
different
departments
to
be
able
to
expand
and
be
able
to
support
our
renewable
energy
and
sustainability
goals,
and
so
the
city's
working
really
great
across
lines
like
that
and
I'm
really
excited
about
the
work.
That's
happening,
especially
in
transportation,
on
some
of
the
unique
things
to
reduce
carbon
from
the
transportation
sector.
C
And
then
I
also
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
look
at
innovative
strategic
ways
to
expand
the
use
of
the
franchise
fee,
to
really
be
able
to
align
how
we
are,
how
much
carbon
is
being
produced
and
being
able
to
potentially
reward
folks
for
reducing
their
carbon
use
and
reinvesting
dollars
that
are
based
on
carbon
emissions.
In
order
to
really
help
facilitate
energy
efficiency
and
carbon
reduction
as
well
too.
And
we
have
some
ability
to
be
flexible
on
restricting
our
franchise.
E
You
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
renewable
energy
credits,
which
is
something
that
can
be
traded
to,
allow
somebody
to
burn
more
unremovable
energy
or
whatever
mm-hmm
fossil
fuels.
When
we
have
our
own
city-owned
renewables,
are
we
keeping
those
energy
credits
or
we're
using
those
to
finance
our
projects?
Do
you
know.
C
C
However,
you
know
there
are
other
options
where
we
do
sometimes
are
participating
in
a
community
solar
garden,
for
example,
that
the
rate
that's
side
to
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
we
get
to
keep
the
REC,
even
though
we're
receiving
the
energy
and
paying
for
it.
It's
retained
by
Xcel
Energy
as
part
of
their
portfolio
I
understand.
C
Okay,
so
some
interesting
future
strategies
that
we
have
that
are
not
specific
to
the
city
actually
doing
these
activities,
but
really
encouraging
others
to
take
action
and
really
getting
the
private
sector
involved.
New
construction,
major
renovation,
ordinance
we're
we're
very
active
this
year
at
the
state
legislature
to
pass
sustainable
buildings
2030.
It
doesn't
look
like
it's
going
to
happen
as
of
the
closing
of
the
session
tonight
at
midnight.
C
It's
unlikely,
however,
we're
hopeful
to
be
able
to
bring
together
a
stakeholder
process
and
bring
the
parties
together
to
draft
legislation
that
we
can
all
support
for
in
2020.
But
basically
that's
SB
2030
would
be
legislation
that
would
allow
cities
to
opt
in
to
have
a
stretch
code
based
on
this
current
SV
2030
program,
which
really
creates
a
long-term
glide
path
to
carbon
neutrality
by
2030.
C
The
overall
goal
would
be
able
to
have
all
new
buildings
of
a
certain
size
say:
50,000
square
feet
are
larger,
be
required
to
be
carbon
neutral,
beginning
in
2030,
as
well
as
any
major
renovations
of
buildings
that
also
are
of
a
certain
size
that
expend
more
than
50%
of
their
value
on
a
major
renovation.
To
also
spend
the
money
to
make
those
buildings
carbon
neutral,
so
that's
that's
a
big
effort
that
we
would
love
to
see
the
sustainable
building
policy
right
now.
C
The
city
has
some
sustainable
building
policies
around
affordable
housing
around
city-owned
properties,
but
it
does
not
encompass
all
the
buildings
that
might
be
built,
and
certainly
a
lot
of
our
multifamily
buildings
are
not
falling
under
a
sustainable
building
policy
because
they
are
not
receiving
any
specific
funds
from
the
city.
Nor
do
they
have
any
requirements
to
meet
certain
energy
efficiency
standards.
We
really
want
to
look
at
how
we
can
do
more
electrification
and
how
that
can
become
a
way
to
reduce
our
dependence
and
utility
gas
make
requirements
on
lower
emissions
for
overall
buildings.
C
Looking
at
ways
that
we
can
have
renewable
energy
stored
so
that
we
can
meet
peak
demand
and
not
have
to
have
natural
gas,
peaker
plants
incorporate
transportation
mobility
hubs
within
a
half-mile
of
every
resident,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
as
a
way
to
really
take
out
the
need
for
the
first
model
last
mile
and
to
have
that
car
available
for
those
once
a
week
or
twice
a
week.
Trips
really
look
at
ways
like
complan
2040
is
around
increasing
density
in
transit
corridors
and
expand
our
urban
agriculture
and
local
food
policies.
C
Those
are
some
of
the
potential
strategies
that
we
can
encourage
others
to
take,
and
then
there's
also
a
future
legislative
action,
as
I
mentioned
as
well.
So
the
SB
2030
bill
is
really
important
to
look
at
the
ability
for
our
to
look
at
how
we
might
be
able
to
aggregate
our
community
choice
which
is
really
about
having
this
ability
of
the
city
to
bring
together,
neighbors
and
purchase
renewable
energy,
but
still
utilize,
the
utility
that
we
have
transmission
and
distribution
network,
but
the
power
itself
will
be
coming
from
a
hundred
percent
renewable.
C
This
is
allowed
in
about
a
half
a
dozen
states
around
the
country,
but
it
currently
is
not
allowed
in
in
Minnesota
as
governor
Wallace
wanted
to
do,
I
think
we
should
be
supporting
an
increase
in
the
renewable
energy
standards
statewide.
This
is
not
just
about
the
city
but
really
about
the
planet,
and
we
need
to
have
everybody
engaged
in
this
currently
we're
at
25
percent,
with
one
and
a
half
percent
for
solar
by
2025
we're
gonna
blow
that
out
of
the
utility
will
meet
that
actually
by
next
year.
C
So
we
need
to
really
increase
that
to
keep
the
pressure
on.
We
want
to
expand
the
net
metering
sizes
like
talked
about.
That
is
a
legislative
change
that
we
have
to
and
then
another
area
where
we
want
to
look
at
is
we'd
really
like
to
see
the
pricing
of
energy
incorporate
the
societal
effects
and
the
societal
cost
of
greenhouse
gas
emissions.
C
I
mean
what
we
regulate:
sulfur
dioxide,
nitrous
oxide,
many
other
kinds
of
pollutants,
particulate
matter,
but
we
the
that
we
do
not
regulate
or
we
and
we
do
not
price
carbon
dioxide,
which
makes
up
the
mass
majority
of
pollutants
that
are
emitted.
So
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
do,
that
would
have
a
significant
impact
on
really
the
incentives
people
have
to
reduce
their
overall
carbon
footprint
and
the
Minnesota
PUC
did
increase
the
societal
cost
of
carbon
emissions
which
Excel
has
to
incorporate,
but
they
that
the
range
is
tremendous.
C
It
goes
from
about
nine
dollars
per
metric,
equivalent
ten
to
forty
three
dollars
for
metric
equivalent
tonne
and,
as
varies
depending
on
what
kind
of
sources
etc.
So
we
need
to
come
up
with
a
specific
amount
that
we
can
agree
to
and
being
able
to
utilize
that
in
decision-making,
so
that
things
that
are
more
carbon
intensive
are
less
likely
to
be
invested
in
as
compared
to
those
that
are
carbon,
free,
I'll
go
I
know
this
is
taking
a
little
bit
long.
C
I'm
acquainted
in
here
I
pre-apologize
get
a
lot
is
a
very
in-depth
concept,
but
in
a
lot
of
different
options
on
here,
but
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
utilities
to
support
this
from
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing,
such
as
our
conservation,
Improvement,
Program
and
looking
to
increase
those
more
renewable
energy
in
the
grid.
Inclusive
financing,
which
many
of
you
have
talked
about
and
heard
about
that
scan,
is
something
we're
continuing
the
time-of-use
rates
that
can
align
with
renewables
and
Evi
charging.
That
is
really
ideal,
we're
looking
at
doing
a
pile.
C
That's
purchased
from
a
private
developer,
but
then,
through
agreement
with
utility,
the
power
is
brought
into
this
distribution
grid
for
the
use
by
the
city
in
the
city
residents.
This
is
something
that's
being
looked
at
in
a
number
of
other
cities
such
as
Salt
Lake,
City,
Park,
Park,
City,
Utah,
and
a
couple
of
other
places.
Denver
is
starting
to
look
at
this
as
an
option
as
well,
and
they
they
have
Xcel
Energy
too,
and
then
the
potential
for
what's
called
a
green
tariff
or
the
ability
for
people
to
get
a
price
for
renewable
energy.
C
That
is
just
like
their
price
per
kilowatt
hour
for
their
current
electricity,
but
strictly
have
it
be
a
price
for
a
hundred
percent
renewable
energy
and
have
that
be
a
basically
a
separate
portfolio
that
is
managed
by
the
by
the
utility.
So
in
order
to
really
come
up
with
what
is
the
best
way
that
we
should
do
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
prioritizing
and
ranking
strategies?
C
This
is
just
an
example
based
on
sort
of
the
principles
and
goals
of
the
of
the
resolution,
but
we're
also
going
to
be
looking
at
this
to
get
community
input
engagement
with
partners
on
this
and
to
be
able
to
really
develop
I,
develop
a
strategy
for
how
do
we
prioritize,
which
one
of
these
aspects
we're
going
to
be
focusing
on
whether
it
be
sleep,
EPA's
or
or
virtual
PPS,
or
many
of
the
other
different
options?
Really.
C
This
is
part
of
the
what
we're
going
to
be
asking
for
input
from
community
and
other
technical
experts
and
how
we
can
really
weigh
the
different
options
in
order
to
come
up
with
the
priorities
for
this
plan
to
implement,
and
then
we
are
receiving
technical
assistance
on
forecasting
and
other
things
in
regards
to
our
Bloomberg
a
triple
C
grant.
They
have
been
actively
supportive
of
looking
at
ways
that
we
can
see
a
difference
in
our
and
our
renewable
mix
with
Excel.
C
So
if
I
think
you
talk
and
lead
the
way
on
that
one,
we
have
some
good
options
to
take
a
look
at
how
we
can
make
that
happen
here
as
well.
Its
Utah
HB
411
is
the
name
of
the
energy
act,
so
next
gaps.
Next
steps,
we're
really
looking
at
defining
our
engagement
strategy,
and
this
is
something
we're
working
with
Bloomberg
as
well
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
get
people
to
buy
it
in
a
concept.
How
can
we
identify
personal
activities
and
options
for
people?
C
So
the
timeline
is
that
we're
going
to
do
continue
to
conduct
some
analysis
here
in
the
near
term
to
be
able
to
look
at
load
forecasting,
engage
stakeholders
over
the
summer
and
into
the
fall
present
a
blueprint
going
forward
in
quarter
four
of
2019
to
the
city
council
and
then
be
able
to
start
looking
at
our
specific
actions
and
work
plan.
Implementation,
as
well
as
engagement
strategies
to
get
people
engaged
in
those
strategies
starting
in
2020.
And
that's
the
update
report
on
the
100
percent
blueprints
great.
E
E
C
E
That
was
my
understanding
too.
So
there's
a
staff
direction
that
committee
members
should
have
before
you,
which
would
be
direct
finances,
ability
and
Health
Department
staff
to
work
with
a
consultant
to
explore
financial
planning
to
support
and
accelerate
the
implementation.
That
was,
climate
action
plan
and
associated
programs,
including
through
an
exploration
of
financial
strategies
being
utilized
by
other
cities
in
the
United
States.
A
Right
councilmember
Gordon
has
made
a
motion
with
the
staff
direction.
Has
this
been
sent
over
to
the
city
clerk
as
well?
Yes,
we're
all
squared
away
awesome
all
right.
So
is
there
any
discussion
on
that
motion
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye,
all
right,
those
opposed
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
and
that
motion
passes.
Thank
you
so
much
and
now
we
have
councilmember
Schrader.
Thank.
D
You
very
much
our
Cunningham
director
gave
you
a
couple
things
that
first
just
want
to.
Thank
you
in
your
office
for
all
your
work
just
to
highlight
one
thing:
that's
just
been
a
pleasure.
Well,
we
didn't
get
there
this
year
with
SB
2030
on
the
state
level.
It
was
fascinating
to
see
and
just
encouraging
to
see
how
many
cities
across
the
state
actually
jumped
on
and
are
supportive
of
this.
For
their
very
own
reasons.
It
was
something
like
working
with
the
state
before
sometimes
when
Indianapolis
is
on
that
list,
it's
done.
D
It
wasn't
positive,
but
it
was
nice
to
see
us
start
the
lead
and
especially
working
with
councilmember
Gordon's
office
in
my
own,
have
us
kind
of
start
to
take
the
back
seat
because
there
it's
really
gaining
momentum
for
very
real
reasons
and
I
think
just
to
move
on
that
kind
of
line.
I
mean
of
the
more
and
more
we
learn
our
best
efforts
will
not
get
there
like
seeing
those
numbers.
It's
it's
very
deflating,
and
so
I
have
a
motion
to
work
and
I'll.
D
Just
read
that
in
a
second
but
I
think
that
just
the
points
we
want
to
make
that
we
really
need
to
be
looking
at
all
options,
because,
right
now,
with
the
best
ideas,
we
have
no
backup
plan
picking
one
of
them.
It's
us
in
a
severe
way
and
the
more
we
learn
about
the
efforts
we're
trying
to
do
we're
limited
by
the
state
to
our
own
detriment.
So
we
need
to
be
able
to
at
least
explore
things
and
see
what
will
work
here
in
this
city.
So
yep
I've
got
a
move
of
motion.
A
All
right,
Cosmo
Schrader,
has
made
a
motion
to
direct
staff.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments?
I'll
just
add
that
I'm
really
grateful
that
you
have
brought
this
for
because,
as
the
presentation
was
happening,
that
was
a
question
that
I
had
was
and
and
was
hoping
that
we
would
get
some
work
done.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
it
forward
all
those
in
favor
of
the
motion
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
in
that
motion
carries
all
right.
Thank
you
so
much
director
Haiti
next
up.
A
A
A
C
Thanks
I
appreciate
that
I
I
know
you
all
are
very
interested
in
this,
so
this
is
really
part
of
our
expanded
effort
that
we
did.
We
have
our
first
full
year
of
our
franchise
fee
increase,
which
was
a
half
a
percent
on
electricity
and
utility
gas
revenues,
and
this
brought
in
an
additional
approximately
2.8
million
dollars
to
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
and
we've
got
a
number
of
programs
that
we
are
supporting
and
I
want
to
talk
about
those
a
little
bit
today
and
request
authorizations
to
transfer
those
to
our
our
city
department
partners.
C
So
our
2019
plan,
we
really
looked
at
how
we
can
make
minimal
alterations
to
the
programs
that
are
very
successful,
already
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
all
of
the
programs,
just
the
ones
that
we're
highlighting
today,
but
a
couple
of
other
ones
just
real
quickly.
Our
are
0%
loan
financing,
which
is
about
to
be
coupled
with
our
on
bill
payment
loan
payment
options
with
Centrepointe
energy,
as
well
as
our
low
and
no-cost
Home
Energy
Squad
support
as
well
too.
So
those
are
six
an
example
of
some
successful
programs.
So
we
continue
to
fund
those.
C
We
want
to
be
able
to
move
forward
programs
that
are
showing
great
success.
We
have
a
landlord
engagement
program
that
is
focusing
on
smaller
up
to
20
unit
apartment
buildings
within
the
green
zones,
and
we
have
a
specific
outreach
person
who
works
for
Guardian
property
management,
someone
who's
in
the
business
reaching
out
to
minority,
mostly
minority
business,
our
property
owners
within
the
green
zones,
to
look
for
ways
that
we
can
support
them
to
do
energy
efficiency
upgrades.
It's
been
very
successful,
we've
actually
met
with
40
different
property
owners
and
that's
been
moving
forward.
C
So
we
did
continue
to
move
that
forward.
We
want
to
be
able
to
leverage
city
programs,
resources
and
staff
when
and
not
be
able
to
basically
create
our
own
freestanding
programs.
So
we
work
very
closely
with
see
pet
and
health
department,
for
example,
to
be
able
to
support
their
programs.
We
want
to
leverage
special
grants,
programs
or
matching
funding
whenever
possible.
Again.
C
Green
cost
share
is
a
great
example
of
being
able
to
provide
matching
funding
to
support
our
our
energy
efficiency
areas,
and
then
we
also
want
to
be
able
to
look
at
innovative
projects
that
are
really
going
to
be
the
future
of
where
we
want
to
go
and,
as
I
mentioned,
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
set
our
sights
on
carbon
neutrality
for
all
new
buildings,
starting
in
2030.
If
not
before,
we
really
need
it.
We
can
do
that.
It's
completely
possible.
C
We
just
have
to
be
able
to
give
a
long
enough
lead
time
so
that
our
developers
and
others
can
really
be
able
to
make
that
happen.
So
that's
our
that's
our
kind
of
guiding
principles
in
our
plan,
so
today,
I
want
to
talk
about
transferring
funding
over
to
our
green
cost,
share
housing
and
supporting
our
LED
and
Healthy
Homes.
The
lead
and
Healthy
Homes
program
serves
lead
poisoned
Children
and
Families
childhood
asthma,
anytime
you're,
looking
at
being
making
improvements
to
a
home,
we'd
love
to
go,
be
able
to
go
in
there.
C
One
time
visit
the
dress
led
an
unhealthy
hair
quality
in
there,
as
well
as
be
able
to
dress
energy
efficiency
and
those
two
meet
very
well
together.
They
really
mesh
really
well
together.
Improvements
to
the
air
ceiling
and
the
air
quality
of
a
home
is
also
makes
the
home
much
more
energy
efficiency,
much
more
energy
efficient,
so
reducing
energy
costs,
as
well
as
making
the
home
healthier
and
safer.
C
So
we
had
this
program,
it
was
started
or
has
been
going
on
letting
Healthy
Homes
for
a
while,
but
we
provided
funding
last
year,
one
hundred
and
thirty,
nine
thousand
and
twenty
eighteen
we'd
like
to
increase
that
to
two
hundred
seventy
five
thousand
in
2019
and
we're
able
to
leverage
basically
double
our
funding.
So
one
dollar
of
utility
are
I'm
sorry
franchise
fee
funding
will
leverage
an
additional
federal
dollars,
so
we're
able
to
double
our
impact
in
those
particular
homes,
and
we
are
looking
at
ninety.
C
C
Another
great
program
is
the
four
D
program
in
which
we're
really
working
with
property
owners
to
preserve
naturally
occurring
affordable
housing,
and
this
programs
been
very
successful,
as
many
of
you
know,
to
be
able
to
keep
our
housing
costs
down
and
maintain
affordable
housing
again.
This
is
one
of
those
efforts
where
we're
already
doing
outreach
to
these
these
landlords.
We
have
the
ability
to
go
out
there
now
with
some
additional
funding
for
energy
efficiency,
to
do
energy
evaluations
and
then
propose
changes
to
their
property.
C
In
many
cases
were
able
to
fund
up
to
90%
of
those
energy
efficiency
improvements,
maintaining
long-term
affordability
for
those
properties
and
making
sure
that
they
remain
affordable
to
the
renters
and
tenants
and
all
those
folks
as
well
we're
looking
at
here.
This
is
also
a
part
of
that
275,000
that's
talked
about
in
the
lead
in
healthy
homes,
then
we
have
the
green
business
cost
share
program.
This
is
really
working
with
organizations
again
that
invest
in
energy
efficiency.
C
It
also
includes
solar,
both
group
by
solar
for
residential,
as
well
as
business
solar,
there's
been
last
year:
twenty
nine
solar
projects,
14
commercial
energy
efficiency
projects,
a
passive
solar
pilot
project
and
even
one
two
and
a
half
million
million
gallon
water
heating
efficiency
project.
There
was
demand
in
excess
of
1.2
million
dollars
in
2018,
and
we
now
have
even
more
demand
for
that
funding
in
2019,
so
we're
proposing
to
increase
the
funding
from
four
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
in
2018
to
eight
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
in
2019.
C
We
are
also
I've,
been
active
in
looking
at
workforce
and
education,
Career
Pathways
we're
looking
at
providing
training
and
STEM
careers
pathways
for
up
to
two
hundred
young
people
from
Minneapolis
to
go
through
a
summer
long
training
program
which
will
have
different
on-site
training
different
instructors.
We're
also
gonna
have
an
urban
scholar
from
health,
as
well
as
from
sustainability
participating
in
this
and
providing
feedback.
What
things
are
going
well
and
how
to
really
refine
the
curriculum
in
order
to
make
it
better
and
be
able
to
expand
it
in
in
2020?
A
C
Chair
I'm
gonna
see
if
okay
mr.
chair
I'm
working
with
Patrick
Hanlon
here
from
the
director
environmental
programs,
it's
going
to
be
at
both,
so
the
B
is
working
with
the
Minneapolis
Public
Schools,
but
we
are
actually
look
looking
at
utilizing
a
couple
of
properties
that
can
be
retrofitted
and
made
available
for
education
within
the
Northside,
Green
Zone,
for
example,
and
so
we're
gonna
have
some
on-site
related
training
as
well
to
it
solar
installations,
the
particular
buildings
that
are
going
through
energy
efficiency
upgrades
and.
A
A
E
C
And
then
our
urban
tree
program,
which
basically
handed
out
over
800
trees
over
the
weekend
this
just
this
last
weekend.
This
is
something
that
is
part
of
the
sustainability
budget.
But
again
it
is
funding
that
is
designated
in
the
coordinators
office
and
sustainability,
but
is
something
that
Health
Department
administers.
C
So
they're
looking
at
having
passive
homes,
be
the
standard
starting
in
2020
in
Vancouver.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
seeing
that
same
kind
of
effort
made
here.
This
is
a
program
in
which
we
would
support,
basically,
a
research
study
to
look
at
four
different
certifications
of
of
style
or
net
zero
energy
homes,
as
well
as
be
able
to
provide
additional
gap
financing
for
six
to
ten
single
family
homes
that
are
eighty
percent,
less
energy
than
a
standard
built
home
and
100%
electric
and
we're
hoping
that
these
are.
C
These
will
all
be
affordable
and
some
of
which
will
also
be
part
of
a
Community
Land
Trust
to
preserve
long-term
affordability
for
those
homes
as
well
to
their.
This
is
an
innovative
project
that
we're
looking
to
transfer
180
thousand
to
see
ped
to
roll
out
with
their
program
which
the
RFPs
are
going
to
be
coming
out
in
early
June,
and
we
have
not
funded
that
in
the
past.
C
So
this
is
a
kind
of
a
unique
picture
of
a
home
that
was
developed
in
Vancouver
and
it's
it's
sort
of
the
common
place
and
many
of
the
Scandinavian
countries
and
things
as
well
too.
So
today's
request
is
to
authorize
transfer
to
the
Health
Department
for
the
green
business
cost
share
the
green
cost
share
for
housing,
the
energy
careers
pathways
in
training
and
the
urban
trees
program.
For
one
point,
two
eight
one
million
and
then
authorize
transfer
to
see
ped
for
the
Passivhaus
pilot
program
of
180
thousand.
A
C
Mr.
chair
there's
sort
of
there's
two
there
there's
two
RFP
and
a
study,
so
the
study
is
that
we
decided
that
we
want
to
really
be
able
to
document
the
types
of
housing,
including
the
specific
architectural
plans
and
techniques
to
be
able
to
achieve
four
different
net
zero
energy
homes.
There's
a
u.s.
past.
The
u.s.
passive
house
standard
is
a
European
passive
house.
Senate
is
also
a
Department
of
Energy
net,
zero
energy,
ready
home
development
and
then
there's
a
carbon
neutral
home
pilot
program
out
of
Madison.
C
So
we're
looking
at
four
different
types
of
programs
and
what
we've
hired
a
consultant
to
do
is
to
be
able
to
analyze
each
one
of
those
from
the
standpoint
of
what
are
the.
What
are
the
differences
between
those
the
benefits
to
each
one
of
those
and
if
the
city
should
particularly
sort
of
hitch
their
way
again
or
promote
one
or
the
other
over
the
other
kind
of
program?
C
And
then
we're
also
going
to
be
looking
at
each
of
the
developers
to
basically
choose
one
of
those
programs
and
then
follow
that
through
the
planning
and
zoning
process.
In
order
to
identify
where
we
have
barriers
or
obstacles
to
be
able
to
do
passive
housing,
some
of
that
has
already
been
identified
like,
for
example,
when
you
have
a
a
building
permit
you're.
Looking
at
the
the
square
footage
of
the
of
the
footprint
of
the
building,
but
with
passive
homes,
you
have
another
foot
and
a
half
to
two
feet
of
insulation.
C
So
basically
you
end
up
paying
more
money,
because
you've
got
a
thicker
wall
for
a
building
permit
in
Minneapolis.
We
should
probably
be
reversing
that
to
say
the
more
insulation
will
give
you
a
little
bit
less
building
permit
cost
if
you're
going
that
way,
because
that's
going
to
help
achieve
our
overall
goals
for
carbon
neutrality
etc.
Is.
C
Sherrod
similar
to
it,
but
it
pushes
the
envelope
even
farther,
but
yes,
it's
very
similar
to
that
kind
of
program
where
we're
trying
to
see
tremendous
energy
reduction,
it's
been
quite
successful.
This
will
probably
see
another
halving
of
the
amount
of
energy
that
the
green
4th
green
homes.
North
program
has
achieved
well,.

Any
other
comments
or
questions
for
my
colleagues
all
right,
seeing
none.
We
have
two
items
in
front
of
us
for
approval,
so
we'll
take
them
separately
since
they're
on
the
agenda
separately,
so
I
move
approval
of
the
transfer
of
2019
sustainability,
franchise
fees
to
the
Health
Department
for
green
cost
share
in
urban
trade
programs.
A
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
ice
habit
and
that
item
carries
in
our
last
item
is
I:
move
approval
of
transfer
of
2020,
19
sustainability,
franchise
fee
funds
to
see
ped
to
support
the
development
of
passive
housing.
All
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
a
item
carries
that
is
all
for
our
agenda.
Thank
you.
So
much
director
Haney
for
all
of
that
work,
as
well
as
Patrick
Hanlon
for
your
leadership
in
the
work
as
well.
A
It's
very
exciting
to
see
the
work.
That's
happening
and
I'm
grateful
that
Minneapolis
has
wonderful
leaders
and
to
be
willing
to
push
for
us
to
lead
the
way,
or
at
least
be
not
too
far
behind
leading
the
way.
So,
thank
you.
So
much
and
with
no
further
business
before
the
committee,
we
are
adjourned.
