DATE: April 19, 2016
TO: Parks Trails and Recreation Committee
FROM: Sara Grant, Parks and Recreation Coordinator
SUBJECT: GreenStep City
Background
During Fall 3007, Minnesota’s Clean Energy Resource Teams (CERTs) held regional listening
sessions around the state to discuss community-based energy opportunities and the state’s Next
Generation Energy Act of 2007. The idea was raised of creating a sustainable cities program,
free to cities, that would challenge, assist and recognize cities that were “green stars.” This idea
was taken up by the 2008 Legislature, which directed the MPCA, the Division of Energy
Resources at the Minnesota Department of Commerce, and CERTs to recommend actions cities
could take on a voluntary basis.
Those recommendations are contained in the report Minnesota GreenStep Cities.
Representatives from dozens of cities, non-profit organizations, businesses and state government
agencies provided the outline for what has been developed as the Minnesota GreenStep Cities
program, which began in June 2010.
In May 2012 the GreenStep Cities program received awards in the categories of Sustainable
Communities and 2012 Partnership of the Year from the Minnesota organization Environmental
Initiative. The awards honor partnerships, inspire other organizations to create similar projects,
and encourage collaborative approaches to environmental problem solving. Over 340 attendees
at the awards dinner voted among the 15 finalists nominated for the 2012 Partnership of the year.
Discussion
Sara brought this to the City Council Work Session that was held on Monday, April 18 th to see if
this is something the City Council is interested in pursuing.
