Presentation of Energy Integration Resiliency Framework (EIRF) from Energy Resilience Advisory
Board (ERAB) – Lyle Salmela, Chair ERAB; Greg Mack, Staff Liaison; Michael Ahern, Ever-Green
Energy
Greg Mack, ERAB Staff Liaison, thanked the members of the Energy Resilience Advisory Board
for their contributions. He appreciated the partnerships that were created between the ERAB
and local energy providers while working on the framework. It was his hope that these
partnerships would continue in the future.
Lyle Salmela, Chair of the ERAB, introduced the Energy Integration Resiliency Framework (EIRF)
with the JDA. He introduced the team of consultants and ERAB members present.
Michael Ahern, Ever-Green Energy, explained that the goal of the EIRF was to create
partnerships while establishing a framework or model that other communities can look to for
redevelopment. He wanted to see the City leverage new technologies and energy sources as
they become available in order to optimize opportunities, while remaining environmentally
conscious. He reported that Xcel Energy would be a valuable partner throughout the energy
infrastructure planning process. He then reviewed the solar and geothermal options that were
available on the TCAAP site. He discussed the investment tax credit that would be available
through the end of 2016.
Colonel Herke, National Guard, introduced himself to the JDA and discussed the geothermal
energy in place on the National Guard site. He commented that Camp Ripley would be
constructing a similar large-scale solar array in the near future.
Chair Sand questioned what action the JDA had to take with regard to the EIRF.
Administrative Director Worthington requested the JDA adopt the EIRF and direct staff to move
forward with the implementation steps outlined in the document, including negotiations with
the General Services Administration for conveyance of the excess portion of the former primer
tracer property.
Commissioner Grant understood there were a number of hurdles in place prior to the TCAAP
site being developed. He asked if the JDA would be receiving updates on the progress of the
EIRF.
Administrative Director Worthington noted that JDA staff would be providing updates to the
JDA on a regular basis as negotiations progress with the GSA and the Army. Further comment
was provided on the negotiation process.
Chair Sand asked if JDA staff would be negotiating on the primer tracer property.
Administrative Director Worthington indicated she would be working to negotiate the
acquisition of the entire 60 acres of the primer tracer property.
John Marshall, Xcel Energy, introduced himself to the JDA and commended the ERAB on their
efforts. He was excited about the potential for TCAAP and looked forward to working with the
JDA, Ramsey County and the City of Arden Hills on this project. He discussed how Xcel was
working to expand their solar utilities.
Motion by Commissioner Huffman seconded by Commissioner Holden to adopt the EIRF and to
direct staff to move forward with the implementation steps outlined in the document. Motion
carried.
Governance Overview – Mike Norton, Attorney for the JDA
Mike Norton, Attorney for the JDA, provided the group with a governance overview. He
discussed the role of Ramsey County as the property owner of TCAAP and noted the County
would be responsible for drafting purchase agreements. He advised that the JDA would be
responsible for drafting an appropriate RFP.
Development Director’s Report
Development Director Hutmacher reviewed her report and upcoming meeting schedule with
the JDA. She noted that the City Council recently reviewed Option 1 of the Fit Test.
