Outlining a yearly work plan and environmental priorities will allow the ENR Commission to operate effectively by setting an agenda and schedule for the year. Background Yearly the ENR Commission would set goals and establish subcommittees of three members each. The subcommittees would do research on the items and bring back information to the full Commission. Last year there were staff time constraints that limited assistance with the subcommittees and follow through with the goals. This year staff is proposing a new approach, setting a work plan on items that need to go before the Commission and scheduling a work session with the City Council to discuss environmental priorities. Following is information that will be helpful in creating a work plan and environmental priorities.

Zoning Updates Environmental Priorities Following are the environmental goals and action items adopted in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The action items highlighted below have been completed. 4 • Natural Resources 1. Develop and implement a Maplewood Tree Plan to cover boulevard trees, park trees, woodlots, and forests. • Energy Goals 1. The City will follow the state energy goal guidelines of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 20 percent of the City's 2015 baseline levels by 2050 (an 80 percent reduction). o The City will establish interim goals every 5 to 10 years to assure City emission reductions track against the primary goal outlined above, and to adjust policies and strategies as needed. Future interim goals will be established by the City at the completion of the first interim timeframe. 2. The City will encourage and support renewable energy. o The City will obtain a minimum of 50 percent of all electric energy from renewable sources by 2040. This includes having a minimum of 20 percent in on-site solar photovoltaic generation within the City, with the balance being met through Xcel Energy's 31.5 percent renewable portfolio requirement. o City facilities will be powered by 100% renewables by 2040. • Energy Actions 1. Set interim goals as follows: o Greenhouse Gas Reduction Interim Goal: Reduce City-Wide greenhouse gas emissions to 80% of 2015 Baseline levels by 2025 (a 20 percent reduction). o On-Site Solar Interim Goals: ■ Achieve 5.5 percent on-site solar photovoltaic by 2022. ■ Achieve 15 percent on-site solar photovoltaic by 2030. 2. Modify the City's operating procedures and annual budgets to implement the Climate Action and Adaption goals. 3. Conduct a site-specific solar energy capacity study to identify the 20 most beneficial sites for solar PV development. Use the site-specific study as the basis of outreach to the owners of the top 20 sites, educating them on the opportunities and benefits of installing solar PV within the existing timeframe of the Federal Tax Incentive. Study should occur by mid-2018 to support leverage of tax incentive potential. 4. Coordinate with Ramsey County and Minnesota PACE to develop a communications plan to review the financing opportunities and financial advantages available to utilizing PACE financing for solar PV, especially while the Federal Tax Incentive remains in effect through 2021. 5.

Study should focus not only on national, state, and metro area trends, but should identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats unique to Maplewood. The goal of establishing a robust business atmosphere capable not only of serving Maplewood renewable energy and green economy needs but fulfilling a unique economic niche within the Metropolitan area. 8. Adopt a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan that includes strategies for dealing with the effects of climate change. Strategies to be considered should strive to: o Decrease City-wide GHG emissions to meet the City's long-range emissions goals. o Increase renewable energy to meet the City's long-range renewable energy goals. o Conduct a climate vulnerabilities study. o Decrease the urban heat island effect, especially in areas with populations most vulnerable to heat. o Minimize health issues caused by extreme heat days, especially for populations most vulnerable to heat. o Increase the resilience of Maplewood's water supply in drier summers. o Increase food security for Maplewood residents, especially those most vulnerable. o Increase the resilience of natural and built systems to adapt to increased timeframes between precipitation and increased drought conditions. o Increase the resilience of the natural and built environment to more intense rain event and associated flooding. o Manage the increased risk of disease due to changes in vector populations. o Strengthen emergency management capacity to respond to weather-related emergencies. o Institutionalize climate change preparation planning and best practices. o Improve the capacity of the community, especially populations most vulnerable to climate change risks, to understand, prepare for and respond to climate impacts. The development of a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan will support the communities' guiding principles of resilience, health, equity. • Local Food Access Goals 1. Create a healthy, walkable community by providing healthy food options and accessibility for all people, regardless of income. o Support development patterns that decrease the distance between households and healthy retail food options. o Encourage healthy retail food options such as food stores and farmers markets that are located in places easily reached by bus, bike or foot. 6 o Support the establishment and maintenance of community gardens throughout the community to provide residents with easy access to healthy food. o Support the establishment of urban farms in appropriate areas. o Encourage edible and pollinator-friendly landscapes on all properties. o Support the keeping of bees, chickens, goats and other animals appropriate for the size and location of the property. o Support food-related business and initiatives that advance the development of local and regional economies. o Support innovative practices such as mobile food markets and mobile food pantries/shelves to bring food closer to under-resourced consumers. o Support the efforts of small food stores to sell more healthy and fresh foods. • Local Food Access Actions 1.

Solid Waste Management Ordinance The Solid Waste Management Ordinance was updated in 2012 after the City organized its trash hauling. The ordinance includes regulations for trash and recycling for single family, multi-family, and commercial properties; and licensing requirements for all haulers. Amendments to the ordinance are necessary to meet requirements in the new trash and recycling contracts. Amendments Attached find the amended solid waste ordinance. Following is a description of the substantial amendments proposed: 1. Multi-family recycling solid waste amendments —amend the language to ensure that all multi-family properties are required to use the City's contracted recycling hauler for the collection of recyclables. 2.

The standards serve as instructions for residents to follow as part of the solid waste collection system. They do not replace or supercede city ordinances. The city manager's authority for adopting or amending the standards comes from the city's Solid Waste Ordinance. Once the Solid Waste Management Ordinance amendments have been 2 approved, city staff will update the standards accordingly.
