<br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: November 24, 2014 <br /> <br />TO: Arden Hills City Councilmembers <br /> <br />FROM: Heather Worthington, Administrative Director <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Update on TCAAP Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework, Phase 1 White Paper <br /> <br />In 2014, the Joint Development Authority (“JDA”) has taken several steps to set a foundation for <br />approaching energy related decisions at the TCAAP site. The intent is to establish a foundation for cost <br />effective, energy efficient alternatives and opportunities during initial development and for adapting to <br />new opportunities over the next 50 years. A project team led by Ever-Green Energy is in the process of <br />preparing the TCAAP Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework (“EIRF”). The first phase, a draft <br />White Paper, is complete and ready for review and comment. The White Paper includes a vision <br />statement and initial assessments of energy demand and supply alternatives for their relevance at the <br />TCAAP. Alternates that are most relevant for TCAAP will be analyzed in more detail during Phase 2. <br />Exhibit 4, page 81, includes modifications for the City of Arden Hills (“City”) to consider in order to <br />improve the alignment between the TCAAP Redevelopment Code and the energy vision. <br /> <br />The White Paper is being presented to the City Council in order to provide information on the status of <br />the work. Phase 2 will be completed in March 2015. <br /> <br />The EIRF and White Paper are the results of a series of JDA and Ramsey County (“County”) actions. In <br />January, the JDA had an energy discussion that included a presentation by the State Climatologist and <br />recommendations from a team of Humphrey Institution Fellows. The recommendations included the <br />development an energy advisory group and an energy framework. In February, the JDA directed staff <br />to draft a scope of work and a request for proposals (“RFP”) for the energy plan which would be <br />funded by the County. At the June meeting, the JDA approved issuance of the RFP for the <br />development of an Energy Integration and Resiliency Framework and directed staff to make a process <br />for soliciting nominations for an energy advisory board. In July, the process for selecting an advisory <br />board was approved and the appointments for the Energy Resiliency Advisory Board were reported at <br />the August meeting. Ramsey County issued the RFP in July 2015. A team including Ever-Green Energy, <br />Burns and McDonnell, Center for Energy and Environment, and Fresh Energy was selected to prepare <br />the EIRF. The White Paper was prepared based on discussions with the ERAB and staff from the City <br />and County. <br /> <br />On November 3, the White Paper was presented to the JDA for review and discussion. The JDA <br />accepted the White Paper and expressed support for ERAB’s continued work on the EIRF. Comments <br />from the JDA and City Council meetings will be incorporated into Phase 2 of the project. <br /> <br />Attachments (2) <br />
