These work plans included city staff comments and recommendations. City Manager recommendations take into consideration the totality of all City goals, work plans, budget, and resources to ensure we have the capacity to meet the initiatives we commit to. Recommendations for initiatives were guided by the following themes: 1. Alignment with other City Work Plans, Goals, and available resources We need to ensure we have the resources, budget, and time needed to accomplish the work. Commission work plan initiatives can directly impact other City Work Plans, operations, or resources. Initiatives tied to the 2022-2023 Council-approved Budget Work Plan take priority. 2. Clarification of Council, Staff, and Commission Roles 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. There are initiatives presented on proposed work plans which would be considered staff operations. Staff operations typically do not require the approval of Council. 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. Work Order STAFF REPORT Page 2 Initiatives that were not completed last year and/or carry over to this year have suggested language changes to ensure the order of work is clear. Some initiatives require the approval or need additional direction from Council prior to moving to a recommendation or implementation stage. In these cases, mid-year work plan modifications can be an option. 4. Capacity for Number of Events and Communication Campaigns Each year, Commissions propose several events and communication campaigns in addition to those already occurring throughout the City. When planning communication campaigns and engagement events we need to ensure that 1) we have the appropriate time and resources to produce intended results, 2) the number of events does not result in City programs or public meetings competing for participation, and 3) the City’s Public Meeting and Religious Observances policy is followed. In making the final recommendations, staff incorporated feedback received from Council Members during the November 3, 2021 work session. Staffs recommends approval of the 2022 Commission work plans as presented.

T he goal of this group is to declare a “climate emergency.” Edina passed a Climate I nheritance R esolution in 2019, and just passed a C limate Action P lan which sets greenhouse gas emission reduction goals for 2030 and 2050. Edina Council M ember's perspective is (1) to avoid declaring an "emergency" since it has specific meaning in government context, and (2) to acknowledge what Edina has already done and frame the resolution in a way that is effective, in order to (1) reiterate City findings of 2019; (2) list new evidence of climate change; (3) list expenses the city in incurring due to climate change and then: 1. Join other cities in making these declarations 2. Ask the State to help 3. Ask the Federal government for help where states and cities cannot act. AT TAC HME N T S: Description 2019 Edina Climate Inheritance Res olution DRAFT 2022 Edina Climate Res olution of Support RESOLUTION NO. 2019-63 A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR CLIMATE INHERITANCE WHEREAS, the community members of the City of Edina value children and our legacy for future generations; and WHEREAS, the City of Edina recognizes that climate change is caused by excess greenhouse gases including carbon dioxide and methane produced as a result of human activity; and WHEREAS, in October, 2018 the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a special report that stated the impacts of global warming to 1.5°C would require rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society; and WHEREAS, the effects of climate change include increased flooding, fire, and tornadoes and while they will impact all communities, the “first and worst” effects will fall on “frontline communities” which are low- income communities, communities of color, and indigenous people who will experience financial hardship or health stress due to the impacts of extreme weather such as flooding, severe storms, and extreme temperatures); and WHEREAS, these risks are too great for the City of Edina to remain silent; and WHEREAS, the City of Edina promotes actions that protect future generations from the consequences of climate change; and WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota Next Generation Energy Act of 2007 requires the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the state by 80 percent between 2005 and 2050; and WHEREAS, many major Minnesota businesses, including 3M, General Mills, Best Buy, Aveda, Cargill, Tennant Company, Target, Uponor, Clif Bar, and Ben & Jerry’s have expressed their support for a transition to a low carbon economy, including reducing their own greenhouse gas emissions. Some setting their goal to meet 100 percent of their energy needs with clean energy by 2050 or sooner, because they understand the importance of climate change to their profitability and supply chains; and WHEREAS, Xcel Energy, Minnesota’s largest utility, has already publicly committed to generate 100 percent of its electricity from clean energy by 2050; and WHEREAS, transformational change must occur at all levels of society, including cities of all sizes, to address the pending climate crisis. NOW, THEREFORE, WE RESOLVE: 1. To ask the State of Minnesota to work with local governments, commerce, industry, and agriculture to systematically adapt our economy to address climate change on a timeline aligned to support the achievement of Minnesota state and utilities’ carbon reduction commitments, including, but not limited to: a. Converting all electricity generation to carbon-free or renewable sources; b. Decarbonizing our economy; c. Supporting and promoting energy efficiency; d. Recognizing the impact of economic changes on people and communities, helping mitigate the negative impact especially on vulnerable individuals and frontline communities, and ensuring an equitable distribution of the benefits; e. Aligning our land stewardship policies, including urban and rural land use, to maximize carbon recapture and promote soil health; and f. Supporting a system to assist cities in creating their own climate action plans, which include consideration of the threat of climate change to frontline communities, and for measuring and reporting progress on these plans. 2. We ask the Federal Government to promote systematic changes to the United States economy that address climate change, including, but not limited to: a. Supporting and coordinating the efforts of States to address climate change; b. Converting all electricity generation to carbon-free or renewable sources; c. Decarbonizing our economy; d. Supporting and promoting energy efficiency; e. Recognizing the impact of economic changes on people and communities, helping mitigate the negative impact especially on vulnerable individuals and frontline communities, ensuring an equitable distribution of the benefits, and thus securing for all people of the United States for generations to come: i. clean air and water; ii. climate and community resiliency; iii. healthy food; iv. access to nature; v. and a sustainable environment; and f. Aligning our land stewardship policies, including urban and rural land use, to maximize carbon recapture and promote soil health and g. Creating a system for measuring and reporting progress on these goals.
