The approach taken by staff was as follows: 1. Building and renovation within the community. Community Development Department will take the lead to review potential Green Build and LEED programs and compare to existing building code and site plan requirements. Consult with other appropriate staff as needed. Bring each of the program overviews to Council to review program components and discuss various options for the City. Explore ways to incorporate greening in construction on a voluntary basis with education component. Explore greening education with Planning Commission and other advisory boards as needed. Incorporate some of the tenets into City Comprehensive Plan. 2. Building and renovation of public buildings. Community Development Department will investigate programs to assess whether City should commit to specific green standards for new and renovated public buildings within community. Bring discussion to Council for direction and discussion. 3. Greening operations within the City facilities. Put together internal task force to review current operations and assess for opportunities to incorporate greening techniques. Quantify list of recommendations and bring to Council for information and update on quarterly basis. DISCUSSION This agenda item is to provide an update to the Council on greening activities that have been initiated as part of the program. BUILDING AND RENOVATION WITHIN THE COMMUNITY The community-wide greening effort has received some attention from a variety of internal sources. This will be the biggest task of the initiative and can be approached in a variety of ways. On an individual basis, staff has talked to several project proposers for commercial and residential development about incorporation of greening or sustainable building techniques. While we haven't received any plans that bring this issue forward in any dramatic manner,we will continue to promote that objective. Staff continues to believe that the UMore project,when developed,will serve as a good resource for other developers wishing to explore alternative construction and long-term operational systems. A flyer will be distributed in the next utility billing cycle that promotes the greening initiative and gives valuable advice to residents about energy use and environmental concerns. It is planned that additional flyers will be distributed, most likely twice a year. These flyers will serve to supplement information already provided in the City's Newsletter and will reinforce particular areas of interest such as the water use policy and maintenance of natural resources such as wetlands. A copy of the flyer is provided for the Council's information. With the growing interest in use of a rainwater garden, staff has identified a location within Schwarz Pond Park. The rainwater garden will be installed this summer and will include a plaque explaining what it is and how it works. There will be an informational handout located at City Hall which will assist residents who want to construct their own rain garden and persons interested will be sent to see the example within the Park. Staff will be able to assist residents in choosing the right location within their property if asked, and the handout will include potential landscape materials that could aid in construction and maintenance of the rain garden. Based upon previous discussions with the City Council,Parks staff has been working with DCTC students to develop two natural plantings areas on City lands.The two test areas will be east of City hall along the railroad track and in Schwarz Pond Park north of the parking lot.The two designs incorporate native prairie vegetation with some burr oak,making more of a savanna ecosystem. These two plans will be implemented this year,although it will take at least two growing seasons for the areas to mature as desired. BUILDING AND RENOVATION OF PUBLIC BUILDINGS Building Division staff has begun the process of reviewing the fire station#2 plans to determine the cost implications if it had been built LEED certified or to MSBG standards. This process has become a bigger endeavor than initially anticipated and final work will be submitted to the Council in the future. This exercise is being done to give the Council background before development of a policy regarding construction of public facilities within the community. Staff continues to monitor the various programs associated with green construction.This topic is currently in the public eye and several organizations have begun investigating criteria or other rating systems beside the LEED program. GREENING OPERATIONS WITHIN CITY FACILITIES A working group has meet on several occasions to discuss various operational issues relating to internal city operations.A memo from Alan Strand, Chief Building Official,who heads the work group,is provided in the packet. Each member is exploring specific topics,perhaps related to their department. It is expected that this on-going work group will review a variety of subjects relating to city operations. Additionally, City Administrator Verbrugge is co-chairing a greening and sustainability work group that will make a recommendation to the HiPP (High Performance Partnerships) Steering Committee this summer for a possible HiPP initiative to incorporate sustainability principles throughout Dakota County. 2 r u w O oR m v a_ C U N..

Saver Switch for A/C units,City Hall and the Carpenters Shop. (Alan Strand) The Saver Switch is a devise that controls the refrigerant compressor of an air conditioning unit. During peak electrical demand periods the utility company has the ability to control the outside unit of the air conditioning system for a short amount of time each hour.The fan moving the air inside the building is not affected. A small increase in temperature may be experienced in the space being conditioned, for this reason the committee is only recommending that this control device be installed on the units serving the back half of City Hall and the Carpenter Shop areas. These areas unlike the front,with the Council Chambers and the Police offices, are not heavily used during potential control times. A discount of$5.00 per month per ton of cooling capacity is offered by the electric supplier Xcel Energy, this could result in over$100/month savings. Staff is also looking into using the saver switch on the lesser used buildings such as the two fire stations.The Committee recommends the Saver Switch. 2. Cleaning Supplies (Tom Schuster) The City uses Green Tree cleaning supplies. These supplies are reported to be environmentally friendly. Tom is also investigating environmentally friendly flat ware for the city lunch rooms.These utensils are corn based as apposed to plastic and are biodegradable. 3. Recycling (Tom Schuster) Collection containers are once again available in the trash enclosures for the collection of recycled materials. Renewed education of the recycling opportunities would be helpful especially at City Hall. 4. Rain Gardens It is the Committees understanding that this item is being address by the Engineering Department via their storm water plan. The committee did however discuss the suitability of a garden in the Bloomfield park area. 5. City Hall Boiler—A/C (Alan Strand) Evaluation and or education of the relationship between the heating and air conditioning systems in City Hall are needed to eliminate/prevent them from working against one another. The spring and fall transitional periods are the most problematic. 6. No Mow&Minimum Mow Turf options (Tony Caterina,Tom Schuster) No mow turfs are becoming much more acceptable as an alternative in lesser used and boundary areas of parks. Parks personnel have been working with the landscaping students at Dakota County Technical College on some specific area within the City. These types of turf could provide a significant savings to the City in fuel,maintenance and labor cost associated with traditional turf grasses. City ordinance relating to long grass may require review if these types of grasses are installed on City property. 7. City Irrigations Systems (Tony Caterina) Rain sensors have been installed on lawn irrigation systems, eliminating the activation of the sprinkler system when they are not needed. 8. Parks Watering Schedules (Tony Caterina) The City honors the sprinkler ban as an example for the citizens. The City watering ban schedule has proven to be a less efficient use of resources, and detrimental to the turf in some cases,in the park system. Flexibility from the watering schedule could not only conserve water but provide better quality turf in the more heavily used areas of the parks. Exempting parks with qualifiers for the public could make sense. 9. Street lighting (Rich Lonnquist) The street lighting system provided by the utility companies is the most efficient available at this time as per the two provider companies.A pilot project of one or two solar powered area lights for a park pavilion or other such area is to be investigated further. 10. Ball Park and Rink Lighting.(Tom Schuster, Rich Lonnquist) Lighting schedules, sensors,light efficiencies and other options were discussed regarding these areas of city energy use. More investigation and study of these areas will need to be completed to better understand the opportunities for energy conservation. IS ROSFMOUNT 1 y SPIRIT OF PRIDE ARD PROGRESS ,, .> ✓ ..

Individuals would participate in various business activities, including market briefings, networking events, and government meetings, etc. The City of Rosemount is also considering the establishment of a sister-city in Ireland for the purpose of promoting the City and the Rosemount Port Authority. Funds for the sister-city project will likely come from the Rosemount Port Authority budget. Legal Authority I. Public Purpose Doctrine. In order to determine whether the Port Authority/City may lawfully expend the public funds, the following questions must be addressed: 1. Is there authority to make the particular expenditure? 2. Assuming that the authority for the expenditure exists, does the expenditure serve a legitimate public purpose? A. Statutory Authority. Authority for an expenditure may be explicit or implied and may derive from statutes or charter. See Borgelt v. City of Minneapolis, 135 N.W.2d 438 (Minn. 1965) (a municipal corporation has only such powers as are expressly conferred upon it by statute or its charter, or necessarily implied). Minnesota Statutes contain numerous provisions explicitly providing authority to cities and port authorities for certain kinds of expenditures. Some relevant statutes include: SPIRIT OF PRIDE AND PROGRESS Rosemount City Hall • 2875 145th Strleet West • Rosemount, MN 55068-4997 651 -423-441 1 • TDD/TTY 651 -423-621 9 • Fax 651 -423-5203 www.ci.rosemount.mn.us 4 ROSEMOUNT COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 1. Minn. Stat. § 469.189 allows a city to appropriate money "to advertise the municipality and its resources and advantages"; 2. Minn. Stat. § 469.186 gives a city authority to establish a "bureau of information" to spend money on promoting tourism and circulating information concerning the business and industrial conditions of the community; 3. Minn. Stat. § 469.055, subdivision 1 provides a port authority with the power to (not an exhaustive list): a) promote the general welfare of the port district, and of the port as a whole; and b) try to increase the volume of the port's commerce; and 4. Minn. Stat. $ 469.055, subdivision 4 gives a port authority public relations authority. That section states that "To further an authorized purpose a port authority may . . . carry out other public relation activities to promote the port district and its industrial development. Activities under this subdivision have a public purpose." B. Public Purpose. In addition to being authorized by statute, an expenditure must also meet the "public purpose" test in order to be lawful. An expenditure complies with the "public purpose" doctrine if it: 1) benefits the community as a whole; 2) directly relates to a governmental function; and 3) primarily furthers a public objective, notwithstanding that a private interest may be incidentally benefited. See R.E. Short Co. v. City of Minneapolis, 269 N.W.2d 331 (Minn. 1978). Courts will overrule a legislative spending decision only if it is "manifestly arbitrary and capricious." Id. at 337. II. Ireland Trade Mission/Sister City Expenditures. Because Rosemount is a statutory city, any expenditures must be based on express statutory authority or authority necessarily implied from statute. The statutes providing cities authority for expenditures on advertising and tourism could provide authority for the sister city program, but such funds should be limited to those purposes. The statutes related to port authorities (3 and 4 above), however, seem to provide explicit statutory authority for this type of a program. Whether the public purpose part of the test is met will be somewhat dependent upon the political issues and discussion by the City Council and Port Authority. As part of that political process, I would recommend that any Port Authority or City funds designated for the program be supported by Port Authority or City Council findings or action consistent with the purposes described in the statutes. Section 469.055, subd. 4 states that the activities in that subdivision "have a public purpose." Thus, at least with respect to port authority public relations expenditures, those funds are, by definition, for a public purpose. Any funds provided toward the county-wide initiative should be tied to promoting the City or the Port Authority, consistent with the purposes authorized in the statutes.
