ATTACHMENTS: Regional Indicators Initiative Findings APPROVED BY: RECOMMENDED ACTION: None SUMMARY In November 2013, the City Council authorized participation in the Regional Indicators Initiative. This initiative studied Rosemount's energy, water, waste, and travel date from 2007 to 2013 to establish the community's greenhouse gas emission (GHG) levels. Becky Alexander from LHB Corp. conducted the study and will present its findings to the Council (see attached). During her presentation, Ms. Alexander will go over the study's findings and outline how the City can continue to work with her firm, at no additional cost, to identify GHG emission goals and recommend reduction strategies specific to Rosemount. BACKGROUND The Regional Indicators Initiative is an outgrowth of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's GreenStep Cities Program. The greenhouse gas emissions associated with Rosemount's energy, water, waste and travel measures were calculated to provide a common metric to compare the environmental impacts of the indicators. The indicators are broken down into residential, commercial, and industrial uses and presented in terms of per capita and per job, enabling comparison over time. The Initiative supports planning for sustainability by defining a baseline, tracking a status quo trajectory, establishing targets, and measuring outcomes of sustainable strategies at a city -wide scale. Out of the 28 GreenStep best practice categories, 19 are directly measurable within the Regional Indicators Initiative's four current indicators. In addition, this data has already assisted with work in the STAR Communities and Resilient Communities programs. CONCLUSION Staff will use this data as it continues its work with the STAR Communities and Resilient Communities programs to identify GHG emission goals and recommend reduction strategies specific to Rosemount.
