UNAPPROVED MINUTES CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP & OPEN PODIUM TUESDAY, MARCH 16, 2021 CITY CENTER 5:00 – 6:25 PM, HERITAGE ROOMS 6:30 – 7:00 PM, COUNCIL CHAMBER CITY COUNCIL: Mayor Ron Case, Council Members Kathy Nelson, Mark Freiberg, PG Narayanan, and Lisa Toomey CITY STAFF: City Manager Rick Getschow, Police Chief Greg Weber, Fire Chief Scott Gerber, Public Works Director Robert Ellis, Community Development Director Janet Jeremiah, Parks and Recreation Director Jay Lotthammer, Administrative Services/HR Director Alecia Rose, Communications Manager Joyce Lorenz, City Attorney Maggie Neuville, and Recorder Katie O’Connor Workshop - Heritage Rooms I and II (5:30) I. SUSTAINABLE EDEN PRAIRIE UPDATE Mayor Case stated sustainability is a strong interest and priority of the Council. Getschow noted this is an annual update provided to the Council. Jennifer Hassebroek, Sustainability Coordinator, presented a Sustainable Eden Prairie overview. The sustainability action areas included in this program are energy, waste, water, and landscape. In regards to energy, the largest initiative is the Climate Action Plan. The first update of the Climate Action Plan metrics was received since its adoption last March. Data has now been included for 2018 and 2019. The first graphic shows the actual emissions versus our expected business as usual emissions. There is not a lot of change in the data over the course of a year, but it is trending in the right direction. Emissions are overall slightly lower. 2019 did have the lowest emissions since 2007, a 20 percent reduction overall. Generally the decrease can be attributed to reduced electricity use and reduced emissions from electricity. The next graphic illustrates the same total emissions but now compared to the planned emissions reductions actions in the Climate Action Plan. It shows the percentage of each action to get the City to its goal of net zero by 2050. Commercial and industrial electricity and natural gas emissions have continued to decrease over time. The decrease in electricity emissions is partially due to the increased efficiency in equipment, and the electricity Xcel Energy is providing is cleaner than it was in the past. There are more renewables and less coal. Narayanan inquired if when Xcel Energy becomes carbon neutral the amount of electricity used is no longer significant. Hassebroek stated this is correct only for electricity. City Council Workshop Minutes March 16, 2020 Page 2 Hassebroek stated commercial and industrial electricity use has decreased by 18 percent since 2007. Emissions have decreased by 48 percent since 2007. The natural gas emissions have slightly increased over time. Overall there has been a 15 percent increase in emissions from natural gas since 2007. This can be impacted by cold weather. This trend will continue without improvements to building electrification. Freiberg inquired if this is coal-fired. Hassebroek stated right now 30 percent of what Xcel Energy is putting out is renewable. Hassebroek stated residential electricity and natural gas emissions are much like commercial. Xcel Energy’s electric grid mix emissions is a little better than they anticipated being at this time. By 2022 they anticipate 75 percent of their electricity will come from renewables. In regards to travel, vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita has stayed relatively flat for the last five years. Emissions per mile VMT has increased slightly about 1.4 percent since 2014. This is due to increased fuel standards in vehicles and the amount of hybrid and electric vehicles circulating. In regards to waste per capita, emissions have stayed relatively flat. Emissions decreased slightly in 2019 due to the shift from waste to energy to landfilling as Great River Energy closed the plant. Narayanan inquired where the data comes from. Hassebroek stated LHB puts together the data from a variety of sources such as the utilities and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT). Hassebroek stated the Climate Action Plan (CAP) implementation actions were broken down into four categories: Encouragement, Regulatory, Incentive, and Leadership. Highlights from projects completed last year include the Home Energy Squad (HES) Intercity Challenge. Between the 16 cities who participated there were a total of 1,200 HES visits. St. Louis Park won for the most visits per capita and Eden Prairie came in third at 136 residential visits. There are plans to continue participating in this challenge. The City also participated in regulatory actions. The City participated in a coalition of local government agencies across Minnesota and provided comment on Xcel Energy’s Integrated Resource
