Respectfully submitted, Casey Casella City Management Fellow Date: January 29, 2020 Agenda Item #: VI.A. To:Energy and Environment Commission Item Type: Other From:Carolyn Jackson, EEC Chair Item Activity: Subject:2020 Work Plan Information CITY OF EDINA 4801 West 50th Street Edina, MN 55424 www.edinamn.gov ACTION REQUESTED: Review staff report to understand what themes guided recommendations for updates to proposed work plans. INTRODUCTION: Attached is the staff report and the approved 2020 Energy and Environment Commission Work Plan. ATTACHMENTS: Description Staff Report: 2020 Commission Work Plans 2020 Work Plan December 3, 2019 Mayor & City Council MJ Lamon, Community Engagement Coordinator Approve Proposed 2020 Commission Work Plans Information / Background: The proposed 2020 Commission work plans were reviewed at the City Council’s November 19, 2019 work session. These work plans included city staff comments and recommendations. Recommendations for initiatives were guided by the following themes: 1. Cross-Commission Committees New last year, was assigning cross-commission committees, comprised of 2 or 3 commissions, to an initiative. Commissions found this structure to be challenging, and struggled with finding meeting times, communication, and different project priorities across commissions. The new recommendations for cross-commission committees assigns the initiative to one commission and asks another commission to “appoint” up to two members to provide feedback on the final recommendation before it goes to Council. This will reduce the need for additional meetings while still ensuring another commission’s perspective is provided. 2. Staff Operations There are initiatives presented on proposed work plans which would be considered staff operational responsibilities. For these types of proposed initiatives, the recommendation is to establish the commissions role as a Council Charge “review and comment”. This allows staff to establish a process yet collect comment / feedback from commission members. 3. Other City Work Plans Initiatives tied to city-wide work with unestablished direction or tied to an approval of CIP, was recommended to be removed or moved to the parking lot. Before having commissions expend energy on work still undetermined, staff should establish goals to help identify a commissions’ role. This included tree initiatives and park strategic plans. STAFF REPORT Page 2 4. Role Clarification Commissions are advisory to Council and their work plans should consist of the work they intend to complete in the upcoming year. Language changes were made to clarify role of the commission and eliminate misunderstanding the intent of the initiative. 5. Events When planning communication campaigns and engagement events we need to ensure that 1) we have the appropriate time and resources to produce intended results, and 2) the number of events does not result in City programs competing with each other for participation. In making the final recommendations, staff incorporated feedback from the Council work session. Since the work session, one initiative was added to the Energy & Environment Commission work plan. This initiative reads: Initiative #7: Coordinate 50th Anniversary of Earth Day event with Edina Community Education. There were a few discussions at the work session about ideas for the Energy & Environment Commission (EEC). These ideas were not added to the proposed work plans but are listed below for Council review. 1. Sustainability Award - The Commission launched the Business Recognition Program (BRP) in 2019 that achieves goals of recognizing organizations outside of City Hall who contribute to sustainability. The BRP is a work plan item for 2020. For recognizing individuals’ contributions to sustainability, the City has Hometown Heroes as an avenue for such award. EEC and staff can continue to recommend residents like the current Heroes, Marcie and Tom Hamel, for their work on water quality. 2. Styrofoam The EEC had this initiative on 2016 work plan in the form of Study and Report. The Study and Report was submitted to Council on November 7, 2016. During 2019 Work Plan discussion, to-go food packaging ordinance did come up in the EEC discussion. The EEC decided not to put it on the Work Plan, but in the parking lot until curbside organics was successfully launched. There was also discussion of whether an ordinance was the best policy to tackle considering the compostable packaging is becoming more ubiquitous and might there be a different opportunity to be a leader. The conversation at the work session was to focus on curbside organics first. Staff’s recommendation is to approve the 2020 Commission work plans as presented.

WHEREAS, high efficiency construction presents opportunities for workers in manufacturing, construction, and service sectors, and it is essential that workers play a role in helping drive innovation towards a clean energy economy while creating and maintaining family-sustaining jobs; and WHEREAS, the City of Edina is interested in improving health and supporting economic development using environmentally conscious efforts; and WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota Climate Strategies and Economic Opportunities report identified implementation of a “stretch code” to improve energy efficiency as a leading cost-effective strategy in meeting the state’s 80% greenhouse gas reduction goal by 2050; and WHEREAS, the City of Edina supports individual Minnesota cities having the option to adopt more stringent energy requirements for new construction and major renovation buildings as an issue of local autonomy, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina, Minnesota that the City formally adopts a policy to support state legislation leading to higher performing commercial buildings through advanced energy performance standards. Attest:________________________________ ________________________________ Sharon Allison, City Clerk James B. Hovland, Mayor STATE OF MINNESOTA) COUNTY OF HENNEPIN) SS CITY OF EDINA ) CERTIFICATE OF CITY CLERK I, the undersigned duly appointed and acting City Clerk for the City of Edina do hereby certify that the attached and foregoing Resolution was duly adopted by the Edina City Council at its Regular Meeting of [month] X, 2019, and as recorded in the Minutes of said Regular Meeting. WITNESS my hand and seal of said City this X day of [month], 2019. _______________________________ City Clerk WHAT: An advanced building performance standard could be offered as an optional appendix to the state’s building code allowing cities to adopt a higher energy standard for new and major renovation commercial and multifamily buildings. The appendix would be available to jurisdictions as a uniform, advanced energy standard. WHY: An advanced building performance standard is necessary to allow the State and cities to cost effectively meet our climate and other clean energy goals. The State of Minnesota, and many cities, have climate action goals that call for an 80% reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, but we are not on track to meet these goals. New and renovated buildings are a significant source of GHG emissions and must be addressed. Today, Minnesota cities cannot require that commercial buildings be designed and constructed to meet a standard above the state code, thereby limiting the carbon reduction cities can achieve. Cities view the rapid growth in new commercial and multifamily development as a major missed opportunity to have an impact and want to act soon. Additionally, an advanced building performance standard would have a positive impact on job growth in the building construction, building operations, and design sectors. HISTORY & BACKGROUND OF THE ADVANCED BUILDING PERFORMANCE STANDARD EFFORT:• An advanced building standard was recognized as a key GHG reduction strategy more than a decade ago, first through the state-led MN Climate Change Advisory Group stakeholder process 2008 report and again through the EQB-led Climate Solutions and Economic Opportunities (CSEO) project in 2014. • In 2019, state Rep. Jamie Long authored a bill to create an advanced building performance standard - Voluntary option for cities to adopt - Supported by 12 cities around the state, League of Minnesota Cities, AIA-MN - Sen. Dave Senjem sponsored the bill in the senate - Passed in House energy omnibus bill; negotiated out during conference committee • Fall 2019: Convened three city-led workshops to identify common interests and solutions, engaging 22 cities statewide - Utilities, architectural community, design engineers, and insurance industry participation - Other stakeholder meetings: trade groups, affordable housing, multifamily builder assoc. • Departments of Commerce (Commerce) and Labor & Industry (DLI) host a broad stakeholder process - Five meetings between October 2019 – January 2020 - Includes contractors, trades, multifamily, energy efficiency, cities, and legislators A MINNESOTA ADVANCED BUILDING PERFORMANCE STANDARD EXAMPLES FROM OTHER STATES/PROVINCES: MASSACHUSETTS (Adopted 2009) • Performance-driven code • Being updated as a net-zero stretch code NEW YORK CITY (Adopted 2015) • Reduces building energy use by 23% (2012 baseline) BRITISH COLUMBIA (Adopted 2017) • Voluntary provincial standard • Reaches net-zero energy ready by 2032 PARTICIPATING CITIES & GUEST STAKEHOLDERS Planning Team Cities: Bloomington, Edina, Minneapolis, Rochester, Saint Louis Park, and Saint Paul Collaborators: Twenty-three total engaged cities, AIA MN, USGBC MN, investor owned, corporative, and municipal electric and natural gas utilities, and Insurance Federation of MN. SOME WAYS TO SUPPORT: • Pass a resolution pledging your city’s support • Request lawmakers support – legislators, DLI and Commerce Commissioners, Governor’s Office • Testify at a legislative committee hearing FOR MORE INFORMATION: Ben Rabe, rabe@fresh-energy.org February 4, 2020 Mayor and City Council Tara Brown, Sustainability Manager Support for Resolution Establishing a Policy to Support Improve Energy Performance Standards in the State of Minnesota Information / Background: An advanced building performance standard is necessary to allow the State and cities to cost effectively meet our climate and other clean energy goals. The State of Minnesota, and many cities, have climate action goals that call for an 80% reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, but we are not on track to meet these goals. New and renovated buildings are a significant source of GHG emissions. In Edina, commercial buildings make up approximately 65% of the electricity consumption. Today, Minnesota cities cannot require that commercial buildings meet a standard above the state code, thereby limiting the carbon reduction cities can achieve. An advanced building standard was recognized as a key GHG reduction strategy more than a decade ago, first through the state-led MN Climate Change Advisory Group stakeholder process 2008 report and again through the EQB-led Climate Solutions and Economic Opportunities (CSEO) project in 2014. Additionally, an advanced building performance standard would have a positive impact on job growth in the building construction, building operations, and design sectors. Massachusetts, New York City, and the British Columbia have implemented successful policies to advance the energy efficiency and resiliency of new buildings while supporting the economy. An advanced building performance standard could be offered as an optional appendix to the state’s building code allowing cities to adopt a higher energy standard for new and major renovation commercial and multifamily buildings. The appendix would be available to jurisdictions as a uniform, advanced energy standard. Date: January 29, 2020 Agenda Item #: VII.A.
