Discuss representation and ideas for mid-term comprehensive plan check-in meeting. ATTACHMENTS: Description DRAFT PH Chapter Comp Plan Mid-term Invite 11.4 PUBLIC HEALTH Introduction The City of Edina is designated as a Community Health Board (CHB) by Minnesota Statute 145A. The City Council acts as the CHB governing body and is responsible for fulfilling the statutory duties of a CHB, which are to: 1. Assure an adequate local public health infrastructure by maintaining the basic foundational capacities of a well-functioning public health system that include:  Data analysis and utilization  Health planning  Partnership development and community mobilization  Policy development, analysis and decision support  Communication  Public health research, evaluation and quality improvement 2. Promote healthy communities and healthy behavior through activities that improve health in a population, such as:  Investing in healthy families  Engaging communities to change policies, systems or environments to promote positive health or prevent adverse health  Providing information and education about healthy communities or population health status  Addressing issues of health equity, health disparities, and the social determinants of health 3. Prevent the spread of communicable disease by preventing diseases that are caused by infectious agents through:  Detecting acute infectious diseases  Ensuring the reporting of infectious diseases  Preventing the transmission of infectious diseases  Implementing control measures during infectious disease outbreaks 4. Protect against environmental health hazards by addressing aspects of the environment that pose risks to human health, such as:  Monitoring air and water quality  Developing policies and programs to reduce exposure to environmental health risks and promote healthy environments  Identifying and mitigating environmental risks such as food and waterborne diseases, radiation, occupational health hazards, and public health nuisances 5. Prepare and respond to emergencies by engaging in activities that prepare public health departments to respond to events and incidents and assist communities in recovery, such as:  Providing leadership for public health preparedness activities within a community  Developing, exercising and periodically reviewing response plans for public health threats  Developing and maintaining a system of public health workforce readiness, deployment and response 6. Assure health services by engaging in activities such as:  Assessing the availability of health-related services and health care providers in local communities  Identifying gaps and barriers in services  Convening community partners to improve community health systems  Providing services identified as priorities by the local assessment and planning process Current Conditions Current Data: Provide quality health related demographics/statistics (Bloomington Public Health assistance?) The Edina Community Health Commission (CHC) is comprised of volunteer residents serving in an advisory capacity to the Edina CHB (City Council). A representative of the CHB is appointed annually to represent the City on the State Community Health Services Advisory Committee (SCHSAC). A CHC member has filled the SCHSAC seat in recent years. The Health Division of the Edina Police Department provides Environmental Public Health services to residents, such as regulation of food, pool, lodging, body art, and massage establishments, housing and code enforcement inspections, noise complaint response, and public health nuisance investigations. Additional Public Health services such as health education and promotion, communicable disease prevention programs, public health nursing services, home health visits, maternal and child health services, health assessments and public health emergency preparedness are provided to Edina residents through a contract with Bloomington Public Health. Trends and Challenges Social Determinants of Health Health is a critical aspect of planning. In fact, a community’s plan for housing, transportation, land use, parks, and economic development encompasses the largest factors that determine one’s health. “Social determinants of health” are structural factors and conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. Most premature deaths are connected to these determinants, like air and water quality or access to physical activity and healthy food. Since the practice of community planning plays a significant role in shaping the built environment, local planning can have real and significant impacts on community health. The comprehensive plan is a tool to strategically increase health and reduce health disparities for all. “Health in All Policies” is a collaborative approach to improve health by incorporating health considerations into decision-making across all policy areas. Data: Collection of quality health-related data, especially at the City level, is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. Data is necessary as part of decision-making processes, but the cost of obtaining quality data is limiting. The City will explore collection methods and funding for City-specific health data to better inform decisions. Aging Population, Transportation, & Mobility: Need Language Mental Health and Social Connectedness: Need Language Housing: Safe and affordable housing is one of the most basic and powerful social determinants of health. Quality housing improves the health of vulnerable populations and is a cornerstone of a strong and healthy community. The City will continuously Commented [OB1]: Do we want to provide examples such as housing free of dust/mold for pediatric asthma patients, or houses with grab bars installed to prevent falls in an older population? evaluate housing policies and regulations to provide safe and affordable housing for residents of all ages, cultural backgrounds, and sociodemographics. Health Disparities Need Language/Definition Health Equity Need Language/Definition Goals and Policies Incorporate a “Health in All Policies” approach into decision-making across all policy areas within the City. Questions may include: a. Does it empower those that live and work in Edina to support their physical, mental and social well-being? b. How does this decision affect social determinants of health? c. How will this decision improve health equity and reduce health disparities? d. Comprehensive Plan Chapter Recommendations The following are chapter-specific recommendations or considerations prepared by CHC members after reviewing the 2008 version of the Comprehensive Plan. Parks, Open Space, and Natural Resources Review of 2008 Comprehensive Plan: - Like/suggest to keep the following: o Support quality maintenance and replacement of equipment o Water quality goals o Do not sell City property that has potential for use as park Considerations to improve upon or include in 2018: - Consider parks/open space in all development proposals - Obesity concerns are mentioned, but should be more prominent o Update ‘Get Fit’ program mention with general language vs. calling out by name as grant-based initiatives change frequently - Equity considerations must be included in terms of parks access, programming, etc - Connectedness mentioned, but should be expanded o Are trails and parks within walkable distance to all residents? Should a different standard be used than acres/population (e.g., all residents within ½ mile of a park)? - Utilize more City-owned empty grass areas for community gardens - Population is aging, leading to many considerations such as: o Limited mobility – how to provide access/accommodation Commented [OB2]: Seems like it might be good to include a definition of these things, as we do with social determinants of health. o Do we have a standard for including restrooms in parks? o Lighting for safety o Benches along trails/parks for residents to rest when needed - How do we integrate mental health considerations as access to green space, open space, and natural surroundings can have a positive effect on mental health? - Do we have a process for redesign of parks? Do we have standards? Who decides? Is there public involvement? o What if there is a new product proposed that may have adverse health effects (e.g., crumb rubber)? How do we assess its potential health effects and decide whether to use it? - Should the City ‘Healthy Concessions’ approach expand to all parks? - Does the City’s chemical/fertilizer use consider residents’ health? - How do we increase the use of the Senior Center? How do we solve the parking issue? Land Use and Community Design Recommendations for 2018: - Further develop public transit access/land use section as it relates to community health, which is discussed only on large scale in current comprehensive plan - Can we mitigate the health impact of highways and major roadways, which typically affect multi-family structures and lower-priced single family housing? - Develop language regarding chosen locations for civic buildings and access for all residents, including those with limited transportation options - Encourage walking/biking safely to school - Decrease traffic, emissions, etc - Food access and production Housing Review of 2008: - Data is very outdated – provide as current as possible - Livable Communities Act – review and incorporate ‘like’ legislation o Goal: 43% of rental units ‘affordable’ o Need 3x current units to meet goal (2,100) – update numbers to 2018 - Aging in place considerations - Need for affordable housing and updated City definition of what’s ‘affordable’. City’s role and capacity in developing affordable single family home units. o Recommend including review of programs (Edina Housing Foundation, West Hennepin Affordable Housing Land Trust, and Livable Communities Act Funding) Recommendations for 2018: - Significantly expand the community land trust model (WHAHLT) to increase affordable homeownership opportunities - Require affordable unit offsets that meet or exceed minimum goals for affordable housing stock when considering redevelopment or new construction plans - Create distance metrics for quality food access (grocery stores or food cooperatives) - Review setback space requirements in zoning code for gardening, recreation, etc - Require outdoor open (preferably green) space for new multi-unit housing - Prohibit smoking in and around (<25 feet) all new multi-unit housing - Heavily incentivize existing multiunit housing to become smoke free through aggressive tax relief or violation enforcement measures - Require multi-unit housing owners to inform prospective residents of smoking policies and the location of smoking and non-smoking units (Smoking Disclosure Ordinance) - Require radon level testing as part of all single family unit housing sales - Require radon level testing in the lower and main level of all multi-unit housing Transportation Recommendations for 2018: - Include strategies for transportation needs in the underserved/elderly population as they relate to community health (food, exercise, safety) - Increase visibility of strategies to encourage walking and bicycling as healthy alternatives to driving - Increase support facilities for walkers and bicyclers – water, directions, distance markers, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, etc - Recognize that lighting is an important aspect to a transportation plan as a way to provide security and safety for walkers and bicyclers - Require a health assessment to major redevelopment areas to include benefits of the redevelopment plan to community health strategies Date: March 29, 2018 To: Commission Chair and Vice-Chair From: Michael Fischer, Edina City Council and Jo Ann Olsen, Edina Planning Commission Cc: Commission Staff Liaison Subject: 2018 Comprehensive Plan Mid-Term Check-In Workshop Dear Chairs and Vice Chairs, The City Council and Planning Commission are co-hosting a Comprehensive Plan “Mid-Term check-in” workshop on Thursday, May 3 from 6-9pm at the public works large meeting room. This workshop is intended to be a working meeting for advisory groups who have been assigned to work on the 2018 comprehensive plan update. The goal of the Mid-Term check-in is to share all the great comprehensive plan work being completed by our Advisory Groups. This check-in will allow us to cross-fertilize the ideas before we get too far down the line in the planning process. In addition to your attendance, we are hoping you can invite your team to the event to ensure at least two members can be in attendance. Each group will have an opportunity to present (up to 3 minutes) of 3-5 top recommendations to the 2018 Comprehensive Plan that the group believes will have the greatest influence on the future of the Edina community. A google form has been created to compile your presentation summary prior to the meeting and capture who will be attending. We would like members to RSVP and provide the 3-5 top recommendations by Wednesday, April 25. This should give teams an opportunity to discuss how to fill out the form at an upcoming meeting prior to the workshop and give us some prep time with the information in hand. Before the meeting, think about how you might demonstrate the impact of your top initiatives on our “Big Picture” map. If you are not aware, the map was used in our “Big Ideas” workshop just prior to kicking off the comprehensive planning process on April 22, 2017. We have included a few pictures of that event to give you a flavor for our upcoming workshop when we once again roll out the big map. We look forward to a fun and creative evening of sharing. Make sure to wear your most colorful socks! (hint, see attached photos). If you have any questions, please contact Cary Teague at cteague@edinamn.gov. Sincerely, Michael Fischer Jo Ann Olsen Edina City Council Chair, Edina Planning Commission
