Call to Order
Chair Hill called the meeting to order at 6:30 pm.
Approval of Regular Meeting Minutes
MOVED by Stremel, SECONDED by Says, and the motion carried unanimously to
approve the minutes of the January 29, 2019 regular meeting. Chair Hill
commented that along with the request to find out where Simple Recycling Co. does its
sorting, she also wanted to know the process for determining what items are kept and/or
rejected. It was decided not to amend the minutes at this time.
GreenStep Cities – Step 4 Metrics – Green Buildings
After a brief discussion of Step 4 Optional topic area, Green Buildings, led by Drew
Chirpich, the Commission made the following motion.
MOVED by Galonska, SECONDED by Stremel and the motion carried
unanimously to approve the Performance Metrics entry for Step 4 Green
Buildings as amended into the GreenStep Cities website at the time when all core
topic areas and optional topic areas are completed. The amendment included
adding verbiage on Data Element 2.7 to state that this element included “Energy
Star” rated buildings only.
2019 Commission Sponsored Workshop
Chirpich presented information on the next MetroBlooms workshop called Healthy Soils.
The base cost to the Commission is $1500 which includes a Q&A group discussion after
the presentation. MetroBlooms advises charging $15/person to attend the presentation.
They feel this will insure that those who have signed up to attend will actually show up.
Commission members feel $15/household is more of a fair price. It was also suggested
by Commissioner Seys to change the name of the workshop to something more
appealing to the public. This workshop would take place at Brookview in the spring of
2019.
MOVED by Ramlet, SECONDED by Galonska and the motion carried unanimously
to approve hosting the Healthy Soils Workshop.

2019 GreenCorps Application
MOVED by Anderson, SECONDED by Ramlet and the motion carried unanimously
to support the application to the MPCA GreenCorps for the placement of a
GreenCorps member with the City of Golden Valley. If selected by MPCA, the
GreenCorps member would work at City Hall full-time from September 2019 to August
2020 to assist the City with waste reduction, recycling, composting/organics
management goals, objectives and implementation actions.
Program/Project Updates
Items discussed:
• The City was awarded a $50,000 DNR’s Conservation Partner’s Legacy (CPL)
grant with a required $5,000 match from the City for the Bassett Creek Nature
Area to aid in removing invasive species and restoring with native species.
• The WasteZero Contract is still under review by WasteZero.
• DeCola Ponds B & C Improvement Project held an open house on February 6.
Eight people attended and four comments submitted, most in support of the
project.
• Kings Valley Pond Maintenance Project is substantially complete. Restoration
and touch-up in the spring.
• Limebike has removed its bikes and scooters for the winter but will be back in the
spring through 2019.
• The year-end recycling report for 2018 showed that the community had a 92%
recycling participation rate.
The complete Program/Project Update is on file.
Citywide Pollinator Policy
Eckman discussed with the Commission, the creation of a Citywide Pollinator Policy in
the form of a resolution which would be adopted by council. Resolutions from other
Cities in the metro area on the protection of pollinators and their habitats were
presented to aid in the draft of the resolution for Golden Valley. The volunteer group,
People for Pollinators Golden Valley (sponsored by the Golden Valley Garden Club),
would like to assist the City with the resolution and implementation of pollinator actions
within the community. A draft of the resolution will be presented to the Commission at
next month’s meeting. Comments from Commissioners included:
• Does the volunteer group need to be a legal “non-profit”?
• Craft language in the resolution to allow for the dismissal or change of the
volunteer group.
• What if the volunteer group was to disagree with certain City decisions?
• Would the volunteer group request money for their services?
• Appoint someone to perform an advisory role to keep the group focused.
• Resolutions get forgotten over time. Create a policy or plan that would stay in
effect. Also, require an annual report from the volunteer group.
• Does the City make sure that plantings come from approved nurseries?
• The 4 points under “Practice” in the Current Pollinator Activities in Golden Valley
should be included in the resolution.
• Bring in volunteer group to discuss the draft resolution with the Commission.

• Does the Commission want an outside group to take over? Or would the City
delegate certain tasks for them to manage?
• The resolution should have language stating that the City will also use best
practices for projects within the City that require plants, trees, sod, etc.
• Tie this with GreenStep Cities to satisfy a Best Practices Action Item to move the
City forward in Step 5.
2019 Draft Work Plan
Eckman presented 12 plan ideas for the 2019 Work Plan which will need to be finalized
and presented to the Council in May. The Commission decided to keep items one to
five on the top priority list along with item nine; complete a ready and resilient guide for
the community. It was noted that item seven, revising City code to remove barriers to
producing local food, will be handled by the Planning Commission when they revise
zoning codes. Item six, revision of City code to allow temporary use of goats for
vegetation management, will be moved down to last on the list. It was also suggested
to move item 10, solar and wind ordinances, up on the list as well.
Council Updates
Council member Larry Fonnest gave a brief update to the Commission regarding waste
and recycling hauling. He stated that the Council will make a decision by summer of
2019 as to what direction the City will take on the solid waste hauling issue. Also, the
League of Women Voters will be holding a public forum to give their report on
residential waste hauling and recycling after conducting surveys with residents and
visiting waste and recycling facilities within the metro area.

Resolution 19-xx May 21, 2019
Member introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION ENDORSING POLLINATOR PROTECTION AND
PROMOTING POLLINATOR HABITAT
WHEREAS, pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and other beneficial
insects and wildlife species, are an indispensable component of a healthy and
resilient ecosystem. Pollinators support Minnesota’s economies, providing food for
humans and wildlife and sustaining plants which improve water and air quality,
prevent soil erosion, and store carbon; and
WHEREAS, scientific research has shown that pollinator populations are in
rapid decline in the State of Minnesota, and across the United States; and
WHEREAS, research has shown that the decline is a result of multiple,
interacting factors, including loss of food and habitat, pathogens and parasites, and
the exposure to pesticides, including neonicotinoids; and
WHEREAS, neonicotinoids are a class of systemic chemical insecticides that
have been shown to impair pollinators at low doses and kill them at higher doses;
and
WHEREAS, Minnesota state law preempts municipalities' ability to regulate
pesticides, but does not restrict a municipality's treatment of the land it manages;
and
WHEREAS, Golden Valley citizens are concerned about the well-being of
pollinators; and
WHEREAS, the City’s Comprehensive Plan includes goals, policies and
implementation actions that protect and improve pollinator health, increase pollinator
habitat, reduce the use of chemicals such as pesticides, and lower maintenance inputs
and costs; and
WHEREAS, we find these actions to be in the public interest and demonstrates
the City’s commitment to a safe and healthy environment for people and pollinators.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Golden Valley that:
1. The City of Golden Valley is hereby declared a Pollinator Friendly Community.
2. The City celebrates its existing policies, practices, and recent actions that
protect and promote pollinator health, including but not limited to:
a. Adopting a Natural Resources Management Plan and a Resilience and
Sustainability Plan.
6
G:\Environmental Commission\Agendas\2019\3 - March\5A1 - Draft Resolution - Pollinator Protection.doc
b. Protecting, enhancing, restoring, and creating new pollinator and
wildlife habitat through the construction of public projects and private
developments.
c. Creating a pollinator garden within a landscape island in the City Hall
parking lot with educational signage forthcoming.
d. Managing an annual contract with a native vegetation company to monitor
and maintain over 32 native vegetation buffer areas in the City utilizing an
integrated plant management strategy which uses chemicals as a last
resort.
e. Employing adaptive management strategies within City nature areas
and open spaces including the removal of invasive species and
planting more diverse and resilient native species.
f. Converting non-programmed spaces within City parks and golf course
areas from high-maintenance turf to low-maintenance turf alternatives,
and naturalizing shoreline areas along creeks and ponds.
g. Refraining from using insecticides containing neonicotinoids to treat City
property.
h. Applying phosphorus-free fertilizer and herbicide on high-use turf
areas (athletic fields, Brookview park, city campuses) on a limited, as-
needed basis and utilizing technology to more efficiently and effectively
target and apply product.
i. Staff that apply chemicals are trained and certified by the Minnesota
Department of Agriculture and all products are applied according to state
and federal law and label recommendations.
j. The City retains Hennepin County Sentencing to Service crews to perform
tasks including weeding rain gardens, planters, and medians, and
controlling buckthorn and other non-native plants within nature areas and
open spaces, reducing the need for chemical treatment in these areas.
k. A significant amount of milkweed growing in public spaces and along
rights-of-ways is retained and has been planted in planters, medians and
along roadways.
l. Encouraging developers and contractors, through codes, permits, and
development plan reviews, to plant more diverse native species and
pollinator habitat.
m. Working with the City’s Environmental Commission to provide
education and awareness about pollinators, habitat, and sustainable
yards and gardens via articles, social media, workshops, and other
community events.
3. The City shall undertake its best efforts to promote healthy environments including
food sources, clean water and habitat for pollinators through existing programs and new
opportunities, including:
a. Increasing the amount of native vegetation cover and pollinator habitat
throughout the City, including parks and open spaces, along streets, and
in campuses and parking lots.
b. Preserving and protecting natural areas and open spaces to maintain and
attract pollinators and other desired wildlife species.
7
G:\Environmental Commission\Agendas\2019\3 - March\5A1 - Draft Resolution - Pollinator Protection.doc
c. Reviewing its current land management practices with respect to pollinator
health and habitat.
d. Continuing to reduce and better target the application of chemicals, such
as fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides while providing high quality turf in
its high-use areas.
e. Establishing land management standards and best management practices
that lower inputs and cost and maximize resilience (i.e. utilize low
maintenance turf alternatives, replace turf with native and resilient species
wherever possible)
f. Undertaking its best efforts to purchase plants, directly or through
contract, that have not been pre-treated with pesticides, specifically
neonicotinoids.
g. Educating residents about the importance of creating and maintaining
pollinator friendly habitat and encourage residents and businesses to use
pollinator friendly practices.
h. Encouraging residents to participate in volunteer programs that improve
pollinator habitat.
4. The City may work with a non-profit or citizen group to help accomplish its goals
involving education, awareness, outreach, and community events and
workshops. In such case, a memorandum of understanding shall be executed to
clarify the relationship.
5. The City shall post a copy of this resolution on the City website.
6. The City shall transmit copies of this resolution to the Minnesota Department of
Agriculture, the Governor of Minnesota, State Representatives and Senators,

To: Environmental Commission
From: Drew Chirpich, Environmental Specialist
Subject: Local Food Production, Operation Types and Descriptions
As part of its 2018 work plan, the Environmental Commission identified removing barriers to local
food production as a priority. Local food production can provide increased access to fresh, high
quality food, reduce the costs and emissions associated with storage and transport, and increase
the socioeconomic value of cities. It is outlined in the City’s Resilience and Sustainability Plan to
“Promote local food production, sales, and consumption and review City Codes to remove
barriers for urban farming.” As part of this process, identifying different classifications of farming
operations, is the first step to designating acceptable uses for each type of operation. These
classifications will vary depending upon many factors including:
• Indoor vs. Outdoors facilities
• Size
• Use (personal vs. commercial/retail)
Definitions:
Home Garden: A garden indoor outdoors, less than one acre in size that is maintained by one or
more individuals residing in a dwelling unit on the subject property who grow and harvest food or
horticultural products for either consumption or for donation.
Pros:
• Extremely accessible
• Often lower cost
• As fresh as it gets
• Produce exactly what is desired
• Self sufficiency
17
Cons:
• Often limited space and growing season
• Manual labor intensive
• Typically constrained to food that the local climate can support
Community Garden: An area of land less than one acre in size that is managed and maintained by
a group of individuals to grow and harvest food and /or horticultural products for personal or
group consumption or for sale or donation. A community garden may be divided into separate
garden plots for cultivation by one or more individuals or may be farmed collectively by members
of the group. It may also include common areas maintained and used by the group such as a tool
storage sheds.
18
Pros:
• Builds community interaction and resilience
• Produce exactly what is desired
• Self sufficiency
Cons:
• Limited by space and climate
• Not always ideal location or conditions
• Constrained by governing agency
Urban Farm: An area, land or structure, of one or more acres that is managed and maintained by
an individual, group, or organization where products are produced to be sold or donated. An
urban farm includes but is not limited to outdoor growing operations; indoor growing operations;
vertical farms; aquaponics; aquaculture; hydroponics; and rooftop farms. See attachment for
examples of indoor farm operations in Minnesota.
19
Pros:
• Can provide high quality jobs
• Increases local economic activity
• Can increase access to healthy local food
• Produces large quantities of food relative to land area
• Can retrofit vacant lots and building into useful asset
Cons:
• Depending upon type of farm, can have large input requirements
• Benefits are largely private
• May require screening, nuisance conditions can arise
For the March meeting, please review this material and be prepared to discuss which operations
you may or may not want to see in Golden Valley. In April, we will compare these operations to
the current regulations in our zoning code to identify barriers and opportunities and then make
recommendations to the Planning Commission in May.

Urban Organics - An Aquaponics facility located in the old Hamm’s brewery in St. Paul, MN, that
produces organic produce and fish together symbiotically. The fish effluent is used by the plants as
nutrients, and the plants in turn clean the fish’s water. Aquaponics has been shown to use up to 90%
less water than traditional farming.

PROGRAM/PROJECT UPDATES – March 2019
GREENSTEP CITIES
Step 4 Report - Staff submitted the Step 4 metrics report through the MPCA online reporting tool. Attached is the
report. The City is waiting to hear if the report has been accepted by program staff.
RECYCLING/SOLID WASTE
Waste and Recycling Hauling Licenses- At the March 19th City Council meeting, Council approved license renewals for 9
companies for the coming year. See attached executive summary for more details.
WasteZero’s Simple Recycling (Curbside Textile) Program- The City has entered into a contract with WasteZero to
participate in their Simple Recycling curbside textile recycling program. The proposal was approved at the March 19th
City Council meeting and the program is expected to begin near the end of May. A promotional postcard that includes
instructions for the program and two bags will be sent out to residents one week prior to program start. Any profits
generated by the program will go back into the City’s Recycling program budget.
NATURAL RESOURCES
Sustainable Yards and Soils Workshop- The City in collaboration with MetroBlooms, will be hosting a Sustainable Yards
and Soils Workshop at Brookview Community Center on May 22nd from 6-7:30 pm. The workshop will cover ways to use
less inputs on your yard, and methods to increase soil health to increase lawn resilience.
Addressing Encroachments
As outlined in the City’s Natural Resources Management Plan, in 2018 the Commission requested that staff advance
plans to address physical encroachments into the City’s park and nature areas. The City will be implementing a
combination of education, outreach, and signage to inform residents that there is public land adjoining their property.
The first location where this approach will be tested is the Bassett Creek Nature Area as part of the 2019 Native
Vegetation Restoration Project beginning later this year. Boundary marker signs have been designed and will be ordered
and installed in key locations within the nature area. In addition, new entry signage will be installed at the 3 entry points.
WATER RESOURCES
DeCola Ponds B and C Improvement Project
The second and final public open house for this project is coming up April 10, 2019 from 5:30-7:30 pm at Brookview to
review 90% plans. The public is encouraged to attend and provide input on the proposed landscaping and amenity plan.
