309 looking at residential right now. Mr. Freihammer stated if it was in a neighborhood 310 that had mixed use they would do both. He thought it was more the quantity than 311 the type of use. Most services are six inches regardless unless the business is large 312 then they may have a bigger pipe. 313 314 Mr. Kruse asked if they would need agreement from the property to do this because 315 they go onto private property. Mr. Freihammer stated that is another detail. One 316 option would be to line it within the right of way. That is a detail they would have 317 work through to figure out what exactly to do. They would have to look at the 318 private property and if they make this an assessment. He explained they have a 319 fifty percent grant opportunity, so they could potentially tell the homeowner they 320 could getthe service lined and it would costthe homeowner half of what it normally 321 costs. That is one option they could look at and there are a couple other options 322 which they need to explore. 323 324 Mr. Sandstrom stated they know in the future this will be a big topic and because it 325 is widespread, the legality will need to be figured out. But they know that this is 326 kind of the future, so this grant is kind of a pilot project basically. 327 328 Member Joyce asked how they stack up against other cities in the seven -county 329 metro as far as getting a successful award of this grant. Mr. Sandstrom indicated 330 there are only a handful of communities he knows that own their own meters like 331 Roseville does. They do have a couple years of data, which is good, and they are 332 looking for one big project because one grant will be awarded. He thought they 333 could bring that to the table where smaller communities may not be able to commit 334 half a million dollars for the match. He thought they would be a good candidate 335 for this grant. Mr. Freihammer stated with the work they have done over the past 336 years, they already have baseline data and do not need to study the baseline before 337 they establish it. They already have that set up so he thought they would do well, 338 but they are not guaranteed it. 339 340 Member Trainor stated to get the density for results they are looking for, he would 341 not be too quick to go down the assessment route. He thought people would be 342 very resistant because it takes a while to get up to speed on what is involved and 343 understand how people are contributing. He thought there would be a lot of 344 resistance. 345 346 7. City Campus Solar Installation Proposals 347 Mr. Culver reported staff has been working with Ideal Energies on rooftop and 348 ground mount Solar PV installation proposals. Staff currently has layouts and 349 economics for City Hall, Public Works, Fire Hall, and Skate Center that 350 incorporates rooftop solar. 351 352 Mr. Bracden Solem, Ideal Energy, stated they have been working with the City 353 preliminarily to look at doing solar across the City buildings. He stated they have 354 looked at all the buildings and identified what would work. The ground mount Page 8 of 16
