RHRA Meeting <br />Minutes – Monday, May 25, 2016 <br />Page 14 <br />1 Member Laliberte expressed interest in each category identifying whether this <br />2 is a program unique to Roseville, or if similar programs are available or <br />3 currently being duplicated by the REDA. <br />4 <br />5 In this case, and as noted in the staff report, Ms. Kelsey noted the <br />6 Neighborhood Energy Connection (NEC) offered this program through Xcel <br />7 Energy, but it was difficult for residents to obtain the $60 available to them of <br />8 the total $200 cost when contacting Xcel Energy at their Denver, CO office. <br />9 <br />10 Regarding home scoring and tying this to multiple listing services, Member <br />11 Willmus asked if there were other multiple listing services countrywide <br />12 performing this service. <br />13 <br />14 Ms. Kelsey advised she would need to research that further, such as the Green <br />15 Star Certification, to determine how far that was being activated or <br />16 implemented. Ms. Kelsey noted that staff was working with the NEC as they <br />17 were more user-friendly for residents than other similar programs. <br />18 <br />19 Regarding levy and budget impacts, Ms. Kelsey reported that the current <br />20 REDA budget provided for 200 audits per year, with a budget of $12,000; with <br />21 residents able to upgrade the offer and receive more detailed information at <br />22 their expense. <br />23 <br />24 Green Remodeling Plan Book (GRPB) Attachment C <br />25 Ms. Kelsey noted an HRA goal last year included updating this book, with a <br />26 commitment to do so every 3-4 years as technology, links, references and other <br />27 resources changed. Ms. Kelsey reported that Roseville was the leader on this <br />28 effort, and were called upon or emailed on a regular basis by other <br />29 communities to access this great information. <br />30 <br />31 Due to the update last year, Ms. Kelsey reported a $7,500 cost, but she didn’t <br />32 see that expense again for another 3-4 years. Ms. Kelsey advised that <br />33 historically a University of Minnesota student studying in the field of <br />34 sustainability and architecture is engaged to review and update the information <br />35 to keep it up-to-date. <br />36 <br />37 Remodeling Plan Books for Ramblers and Split Level Homes <br />38 Ms. Kelsey advised these are still available in one or more forms, but no longer <br />39 printed, creating no additional or annual expense for the REDA. <br />40 <br />41 Roseville Redesign Program <br />42 Ms. Kelsey reported this program had been discontinued, and represented no <br />43 levy cost going forward. <br />44 <br />45 Housing Replacement Program – Attachment C <br /> <br />
