and Environment’s 2017 PiE related goals. It’s presented in a compelling format that could be
useful
X. Staff Comments
A. Q3 report was attached as a reference
B. Staff comments
• Commission gave feedback to iMatter
o Recommendation to clearly show who is funding the group and 6 goals of the national
organization
o Some of the Commissions thought that if they have been given this resolution, they
wouldn’t pass it. Reason being that the City has a lot of boards but no action plan, and City
Council person would have a difficult time passing this because of the time line. This is a
strong document that City Council would have difficult time approving.
o Discussion and ideas were shared on how the students could make an impact at their
schools. Such as, how the students can look into tools mnenergychallenge.org. Mentoring

Work Plan Memo from Scott to Commission Members
EEC 2017 Work Plan
City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
Administration Department
City Manager Office
Date: December 7, 2016
To: Edina’s Advisory Board and Commission Members
cc: Board and Commission Staff Liaisons
From: Scott Neal, City Manager
Subject: 2017 Approved Work Plan Edit Explanations
Over the past several years board and commissions have participated in a work plan process to help
organize and prioritize their work and allocate limited resources. The annual work plan steps are the same
from year to year. The 2017 schedule was as follows:
At this point we have completed all the work plan steps and Board/Commission approved work plans will
officially start January 1, 2017. As City Manager, I provided comments and recommendations to help
Council determine the feasibility of supporting the goal of the initiatives as designed by the Board or
Commission. It is my intent to provide greater explanation on the changes to the 2017 work plans.
There were three reoccurring threads in the recommendations to all the Board and Commission work
plans which did affect each Board/Commission work plan.
1) Insufficient staff and member resources
Many proposed work plans were very heavy. On several of the work plans, initiatives were
recommended to be removed based on insufficient staff and member resources. Very few work
plan initiatives require only the delegated time of a Board or Commission’s staff liaison. Most
initiatives will require support from additional staff and divisions, especially the Communications
SEPT B/C MEETING: B/C approves proposed work
plan.
OCT 5. WORK SESSION:Chairs present
proposed work plan to Council.
NOV. 15 WORK SESSION: City Manager presents staff proposed revisions.
DEC. 6 COUNCIL MEETING: City Manager
incorporates council feedback and submits final draft for approval.
JAN. 1: B/C
officially starts implementing work plans.

City of Edina • 4801 W. 50th St. • Edina, MN 55424
Division. We needed to leave enough room on Board/Commission work
plans to accomplish day to day work and department work plans.
2) Committees/Working Groups
Committees and working groups are established by boards and
commissions and work under their direction. Whenever committee or working group was used in
the title of a work plan initiative, it was removed. The work plan initiatives are what the
Board/Commission will be doing and is the responsibility of the board and commission as a whole.
How the work gets done is determined by the Board/Commission; and Board/Commissions can
create or disband committees and working groups as they see fit.
3) Comprehensive Guide Plan
The comprehensive guide is an initiative lead by the Planning Commission. All Board and
Commissions will be asked to assist as needed with the development of the guide. Specific chapters
and/or sections have been assigned to Boards and Commissions by the Planning Commission as
they are relevant to the board and commission’s work. Staff Liaisons have been provided direction
on the chapters/sections their respective board or commission will be working on. For consistency,
the standard initiative “Assist as requested with the development of the City’s new comprehensive
guide plan” has been recommended on each work plan. With the exception of the Planning
Commission, this initiative is designated as Council Charge 2. This initiative is designated as Charge
3 on the Planning Commission Work Plan. Liaisons will be provided the following direction on the
work flow of Comprehensive Plan initiatives as shown on the below graph.
I have also included additional explanation on specific initiatives presented on individual Board/Commission
work plans. If the item was affected by the three threads above those are not called out below.
Arts and Culture Commission
Initiative 2 is asking the commission to evaluate programs and event offerings to better support the
Art Center. This should assist the commission in focusing its work with the Art Center.
Initiative 3 and 4 have been combined. The Public Art Program has become an initiative of the Arts
and Culture commission. The commission can look at changing guidelines of the program as they
see fit. The commission has been given the authority to set individual artist stipends within the
overall approved budget.

Several initiatives (8, 9, 10) starting with “re-evaluate” were removed.
Since the commission is not asking to do these initiatives this year, it is not
necessary to have them on the work plan. If the commission decides to
take them up later, then can add them to their 2018 work plan.
Initiative 6 has been changed to ask the commission to review and provide
recommend options to Council for more effective promotion of Arts and
Culture events in all of Edina.
Energy and Environment Commission
The first two initiatives were added to complete the work plan items that were assigned by council
in 2016.
Changed title of initiative 7 to remove commercial action plan. Staff will focus on residential first.
Initiative 9 and 10 were removed. These are incidental tasks that commissions can conduct without
council approval.
Initiative 11 has also been removed since it has been moved to City Staff’s work plan.
Heritage Preservation Board
Initiative 4 was removed because it is the ongoing responsibility of every board and commission to
keep their webpage up to date.
Initiative 7 was removed because it is a department’s decision to send members to a conference
and does not require Council approval.
Human Rights and Relations Commission
Initiative 4 was removed because the topics identified overlap with other initiatives on the work
plan.
Initiative 6 and 7 have been changed into a new initiative which could include the same work in
connection with other city initiatives on the same topic..
Planning Commission
Initiative 3 was added to assist the Community Health Commission.
Initiative 4 was added to assist the Transportation Commission.
Transportation Commission
Initiative 1 title has changed to include “If staff secures funding”. Currently this project is not
funded.
The 2017 Board and Commission work plan process was another step forward in our attempt to
better sync the City’s human resources – both paid staff and resident volunteers – to accomplish
the overall policy and operational goals of the City’s elected leaders, our City Council. Generally
speaking, staff put more effort this year into analyzing the proposed board and commission work
plan initiatives to ensure they were consistent with the Council’s policy goals and feasible within
the parameters of the City’s available fiscal and human resources. We also added clarity to the
policy direction of the 2017 board and commission work plans by assigning a Council Charge to
each work plan initiative. By adding greater clarity to our policy direction and greater precision to
our resource allocation, I believe boards and commissions will be more successful in fulfilling their
roles in serving the community.

On behalf of the City staff that serve our boards and commissions, we want
you to know that your service is important to our work, and by working
together as partners, we believe our efforts are multiplied many times for
the good of the community.

Hi Lauren and Tara, I wanted the EEC to be aware that I have uncovered some real concerns with the plant based infills for synthetic turf. The EEC was kind enough to support my cause when I came to you in May hoping that the school district and city could choose something other than tire crumb for our fields. While plant based infills are still slightly less toxic than their tire crumb counterparts, the issues I have been made aware of in the past few months have led me to rescind my promotion of them to the school district and city(please see the email below, which was sent to both). I wanted to thank the EEC again for their support, and hopefully we can continue to work together in the future to promote pesticide free grass for our kids to play on. Thanks for your understanding. If one of you wouldn't mind forwarding this email to the other commissioners, I would really appreciate it. There is so much emerging information on the risks of synthetic turf. I will keep you all in the loop as I hear more. Thank you! Clover
Hello,
I am writing to rescind my endorsement of the use of alternative plant based infills in Edina for the following reasons: 1. The plant based infill system still sits above a plastic turf carpet which, when randomly tested, on multiple occasions has been show to contain lead and other chemicals. The turf carpet additionally comes with acute health concerns including, but not limited to, bacterial infections when not cleaned properly, concussion risk and risk of heat illness. 2. It has recently come to my attention that the plant based infill systems utilize silica sand as a ballast. Silica sand is a level one carcinogen. Please see the attached link from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. http://www.inchem.org/documents/iarc/vol68/silica.html
Silica (IARC Summary & Evaluation, Volume 68, 1997)
www.inchem.org
2
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) - Summaries & Evaluations SILICA Crystalline silica - inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from ...
It is important to note that, as far as I am aware, Edina's turf infill components ALSO utilize silica sand. One of my SAFE colleagues was sent the attached MSDS by Susan Brott in Communications at EPS, after a data request. To me, the health concerns it details are alarming.
This is by no means an endorsement of tire crumb, it is however further proof that grass is the only option that makes any sense for the health of Edina athletes.
Well maintained grass, without the use of pesticides, is absolutely safe and absolutely possible. I have been put in touch with several natural turf experts and would be more than happy to pass along their contact info to any of you.
Thank you for your time, Clover Hackett Sent from my iPhone

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: A white or tan sand, or ground sand. It is not flammable, combustible or explosive. Do not breathe
this material. Crystalline silica (quartz) is not known to be an environmental hazard. Crystalline silica (quartz) is incompatible with hydrofluoric acid, fluorine, chlorine trifluoride or oxygen
difluoride.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTSEYE Contact can cause moderate to severe irritation of eyes, including discomfort or pain, local redness and
swelling of the conjuctiva.
SKIN Contact can cause dryness or moderate irritation of skin.
INGESTION None known.
INHALATION If inhaled as dust, this product can cause irritation of the respiratory system resulting in coughing and/or
sneezing. Higher exposures may cause a build-up of fluid in the lungs with severe shortness of breath. Inhalation of silica can also cause a chronic irreversible lung disorder, silicosis. Some medical reports state
inhalation of silica dust for prolonged periods may cause lung cancer.
Per ACGIH, adverse effects are not likely to occur in the workplace provided exposure levels do not exceed the appropriate TLVs/PELs. See Section 8. However, because of the wide variation in individual susceptibility, lower exposure limits may be
appropriate for some individuals including persons with pre-existing medical conditions.
CHRONIC EFFECTS /CARCINOGENICITY:Silicosis, cancer, scleroderma, tuberculosis, nephrotoxicity and arthritis are potential chronic effects. See Section 11 for further information regarding these conditions
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: There are generally no signs or symptoms of exposure to crystalline silica (quartz). Often, chronic silicosis has no symptoms. The symptoms of chronic silicosis, if present, are shortness of breath, wheezing, cough and sputum production. The symptoms of acute silicosis are the same; additionally, weight loss and fever are associated with acute
silicosis. The symptoms of scleroderma include thickening and stiffness of the skin, particularly in the fingers, shortness of breath, difficulty swallowing and joint problems.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: The condition of individuals with lung disease (e.g., bronchitis, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) can be aggravated by exposure. See Section 11 for additional detail on potential adverse health effects.
POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS:None known.

EXPOSURE GUIDELINES VLT HIGCA LEP AHSO
Crystalline silica (respirable) 10 mg/m3 ÷ (% silica in the dust plus 2) 0.025 mg/m3
Crystalline silica exists in several forms, the most common of which is quartz. If crystalline silica (quartz) is heated to morethan 870°C it can change to a form of crystalline silica known as trydimite, and if crystalline silica (quartz) is heated to more
than 1470°C, it can change to a form of crystalline silica known as cristobalite. Crystalline silica as trydimite and cristobaliteare more fibrogenic than crystalline silica as quartz. The OSHA PEL for crystalline silica as trydimite and cristobalite is one-
half the PEL for crystalline silica (quartz); the ACGIH TLV for crystalline silica as trydimite and cristobalite is one-half theTLV for crystalline silica as quartz.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No LD50 or LC50 have been identified for this product.
SILICOSIS The major concern is silicosis, caused by the inhalation and retention of respirable crystalline silica dust. Silicosis can exist in
several forms, chronic (or ordinary), accelerated, or acute.
Chronic or Ordinary Silicosis is the most common form of silicosis, and can occur after many years of exposure to relatively low levels of airborne respirable crystalline silica dust. It is further defined as either simple or complicated silicosis.
Simple silicosis is characterized by lung lesions (shown as radiographic opacities) less than 1 centimeter in diameter,
primarily in the upper lung zones. Often, simple silicosis is not associated with symptoms, detectable changes in lung function or disability. Simple silicosis may be progressive and may develop into complicated silicosis or progressive
massive fibrosis (PMF).
Complicated silicosis or PMF is characterized by lung lesions (shown as radiographic opacities) greater than 1 centimeter in diameter. Although there may be no symptoms associated with complicated silicosis or PMF, the
symptoms, if present, are shortness of breath, wheezing, cough and sputum production. Complicated silicosis or PMF may be associated with decreased lung function and may be disabling. Advanced complicated silicosis or PMF may
lead to death. Advanced complicated silicosis or PMF can result in heart disease secondary to the lung disease (cor pumonale).
Accelerated Silicosis can occur with exposure to high concentrations of respirable crystalline silica over a relatively short
period; the lung lesions can appear within five (5) years of the initial exposure. The progression can be rapid. Accelerated silicosis is similar to chronic or ordinary silicosis, except that the lung lesions appear earlier and the progression is more rapid.
Acute Silicosis can occur with exposures to very high concentrations of respirable crystalline silica over a very short time
period, sometimes as short as a few months. The symptoms of acute silicosis include progressive shortness of breath, fever, cough and weight loss. Acute silicosis is fatal.
CANCER
IARC - The International Agency for Research on Cancer (“IARC”) concluded that there was “sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica in the forms of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources”, and that there is
“sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of quartz and cristobalite.” The overall IARC evaluation was that “crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans
Page 6 of 7
Product Name: SAND (continued)
(Group 1).” The IARC evaluation noted that “carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstances studies.
Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs.” For further information on the IARC evaluation, see IARC Monographs
on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic Risks to Humans, Volume 68, “Silica, Some Silicates...” (1997). (Emphasis added)
NTP - The National Toxicology Program, in its Sixth Annual Report on Carcinogens, concluded that “silica, crystalline (respirable)” may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen, based on sufficient evidence in experimental animals and
limited evidence in humans.
OSHA - Crystalline silica (quartz) is not regulated by the U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration as a carcinogen.
There is substantial literature on the issues of the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica, which the reader should consult foradditional information. A summary of the literature is set forth in “Exposure to crystalline silica and risk of lung cancer; the
epidemiological evidence”, Thorax, Volume 51, pp. 97-102 (1996). The official statement of the American Thoracic Society on the issue of silica carcinogenicity was published in “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica Exposure”, American Journal of
Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp. 761-765 (1997). The official statement concluded that “The available data support the conclusion that silicosis produces increased risk for bronchogenic carcinoma. The cancer risk may also be
increased by smoking and other carcinogens in the workplace. Epidemiologic studies provide convincing evidence for increased cancer risk among tobacco smokers with silicosis. Less information is available for never-smokers and for workers
exposed to silica but who do not have silicosis. For workers with silicosis, the risks for lung cancer are relatively high and consistent among various countries and investigators. Silicosis should be considered a condition that predisposes workers to an
increased risk of lung cancer.” Id. at 763.
SCLERODERMA There is evidence that exposure to respirable crystalline silica or that the disease silicosis is associated with the increased
incidence of scleroderma, an immune system disorder manifested by a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs, skin and other internal organs. Recently, the American Thoracic Society noted that “there is persuasive evidence relating scleroderma to occupational
silica exposures in setting where there is appreciable silicosis risk.” The following may be consulted for additional informationon silica, silicosis and scleroderma (also known as progressive systemic sclerosis): Occupational Lung Disorders, Third
Edition, Chapter 12, entitled “Silicosis and Related Diseases”, Parkes, W. Raymond (1994). “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica Exposure”, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp. 761-765 (1997).
TUBERCULOSIS
Individuals with silicosis are at increased risk to develop tuberculosis, if exposed to persons with tuberculosis. The followingmay be consulted for further information: Occupational Lung Disorders, Third Edition, Chapter 12, entitled “Silicosis and
Related Diseases”, Parkes, W. Raymond (1994). “Adverse Effects of Crystalline Silica Exposure”, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp. 761-765 (1997). Silica Sand (Brady, Colorado Springs, Riverside,
Bakersfield)
NEPHROTOXICITYThere are several recent studies suggesting that exposure to respirable crystalline silica or that the disease silicosis is associated
with the increased incidence of kidney disorders. The following may be consulted for additional information on silica, silicosisand nephrotoxicity: Occupational Lung Disorders, Third Edition, Chapter 12, entitled “Silicosis and Related Diseases”, Parkes,

of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Volume 155, pp. 761-765 (1997).
ARTHRITIS There are recent studies suggesting that exposure to respirable crystalline silica or that the disease silicosis is associated with
the increased incidence of arthritis. The following may be consulted for additional information on silica exposure and arthritis:American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 35, pp. 375-381 “Connective Tissue Disease and Silicosis”, Rosenman KD;
