At its May meeting, the Commission discussed BP29 actions 1 through 7 and the corresponding star rating tasks for each action. Based on the results of the May meeting and a preliminary discussion with the Fire Chief, staff has completed a draft priority list. If approved by the Commission, items in this list would be completed in order over the course of the next year and discussed in more detail at future Commission meetings. Completion of the Action 1 items will result in the City achieving a step 3 status in this best practice area. Once the step 3 status is achieved,the Commission can decide whether to continue working within BP29 or move on to another best practice. The Fire Chief will be in attendance to discuss resilience from a Fire Department perspective and to help answer questions about the action items below. Action#1 Integrate climate resilience into planning and budgetary processes. 1 Star Rating In consultation with the county, every two years review the county(or city if there is one) Hazard Mitigation Plan and identify who is responsible for city preparedness, for emergency response, and for recovery efforts for each type of extreme weather and climate-change related emergency. 3 Star Rating Implement 1 Star criteria, and incorporate safe growth and other climate adaptation and resilience goals and strategies into the city's comprehensive plan, and include specific resiliency improvements in the city's capital budget plan to address vulnerabilities to the G:\Environmental Commission\Memos\GreenStep Cities BP29_priorities.docx changing climate. (Note:This item will be completed as part of the upcoming Comprehensive Plan process with help from a MPCA grant,thus no additional action is required at this time.) Completion of the actions above will allow the City to achieve step 3 status. Upon completion, the Commission may decide to continue with items below or move on to other best practices within GreenSteps Cities. Action#2 Prepare to maintain public health and safety during extreme weather and climate- change related events, while also taking a preventive approach to reduce risk for community members. 1 Star Rating Identify vulnerable populations and populations likely to need targeted emergency communication strategies. 2 Star Rating In consultation with the county, designate public facilities to serve as community safe shelter for flooding from extreme rainfall,severe snow/ice storms with extended power loss, and prolonged extreme heat waves. Arrange for necessary provisions (including potable water) and back-up power sources for extended emergency operation without grid power. Action#5 Protect public and critical facilities and infrastructure with practical mitigation measures to reduce physical damage and sustain functions during extreme weather. 1 Star Rating Protect city-owned buildings (e.g., city hall/offices, police/fire stations, public works, park/rec buildings, community centers, etc.) and non-water infrastructure (such as overhead power lines)against the potential for extreme weather damage such as flash flooding from extreme rainfall. 2 Star Rating Encourage/incentivize private building owners to take basic actions to prevent extreme weather damage, such as from sewage backup, by installing appropriate devices/retrofits. Action#6 Increase the capacity of buildings and infrastructure to reduce the urban heat island effect, better manage stormwater, use locally available energy resources, and decrease GHG emissions while increasing resilience. 1 Star Rating Identify city-owned buildings needing repair/maintenance of roofs, parking lots, or landscaping. Install cool or green roofs, cool pavements and/or vegetative cover(including trees), as feasible, in addition to other energy efficiency measures during repair/maintenance, renovation or new construction of city-owned buildings and sites. Action#7 Make long-term investments through sustainable best practice actions to prepare for anticipated climate impacts and increase resiliency over time. (Note:These items may already be in progress or completed by the City;staff can enter these into the GreenSteps Cities(GSC) website without further Commission action.) 1 Star Rating Implement one or more of the following GSC best practice actions to increase community resilience through energy savings, improved air quality, and active living: • efficient outdoor street lighting ( BP 4.3 -any star level ) • outdoor parking lot/ramp lighting( BP 4.7 -any star level ) • restrictions on residential wood burning ( BP 23.1 - 3 star) 2 Star Rating Implement one or more of the following GSC best practice actions to increase community resilience with improvements to green and gray infrastructure: • ongoing retrofit program to reduce pollutant loads ( BP 17.5-3 Star) • inflow and infiltration (I&I) and water loss programs( BP 20.3 -3 Star) Staff is asking that the Environmental Commission review this priority list and if acceptable, make a motion approving the approach outlined above. PROGRAM/PROJECT UPDATES—June 2016 ENERGY Lighting The City received a metro-wide schedule from Xcel Energy to convert existing street lighting to more efficient LED lighting. Golden Valley is scheduled for this work in 2017. Solar City staff is finalizing details with Monarch Solar to have a 40 kW solar array on both the Street Maintenance Building and the Utility Maintenance Building. Construction could begin as early as August. NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT PLAN (NRMP) Staff is finalizing an adopt-an-open space agreement with a property owner who wants to remove buckthorn and plant a handful of trees in a City open space. Tree Trust has begun work in the Bassett Creek Nature Area to enhance the existing natural surface trail and improve vegetation in the corridor. WATER RESOURCES 2016 Bassett Creek Native Vegetation Project Work on the 2015-16 streambank stabilization project has wrapped up and the City's native vegetation contractor has begun to seed and plant new vegetation in the project area. The monitoring and establishment of native vegetation will continue over two additional growing seasons. Stormwater Management Program On Wednesday June 15th City staff attended annual stormwater training. The training was to inform staff what to look for while completing daily activities. Staff is working to find and eliminate illicit discharges and prevent erosion from construction sites and other development projects throughout the City. The training provides a good annual reminder to staff. The annual MS4 public hearing was presented by staff on Tuesday June 21 at the City Council meeting. As part of the permit through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency the City is required to have a public hearing for comments and to report on the previous year's activities. No comments were received during the public comment period. Long-Term Flood Damage Reduction Study for Medicine Lake Road &Winnetka Avenue Area (includes DeCola Ponds neighborhood) The City Councils of Golden Valley, Crystal, and New Hope met on May 31 to hear a presentation on the results of the study and the potential establishment of a governance body like the joint water commission to oversee the implementation of flood damage reduction projects over the life of the long term plan. The City Councils are currently considering next steps. City of Golden Valley representatives attended a recent legislative committee hearing in support of funding for projects that would benefit the long term plan. Watershed Tour Staff attended a watershed tour put on by BCWMC on June 21. Two of the stops were in Golden Valley showcasing the 2015 Bassett Creek Restoration Project and the City's Snow and Ice Control Equipment and Technologies.
