Roseville 2040 Chapter9: Resilience and Environmental Protection <br />1. WHAT WE HEARD <br />Public Engagement <br />Community members provided input on resilience and environmental protection <br />during public meetings and community engagement events. Promotion of water <br />quality and conservation, local solar energy installations, and public transit were <br />common themes. A group of community members also submitted a written list of <br />recommendations, with proposed goals related to greenhouse gas emissions <br />reductions and a rapid citywide transition to renewable energy. Policy <br />recommendations relevant to this chapter addressed: water stewardship, tree <br />coverage and diversity, electric fleet vehicles, energy -efficient buildings, multi - <br />modal transportation, and waste reduction. <br />2. CURRENT PRACTICES <br />Roseville's commitment to environmental protection and resilience is reflected in <br />its participation in Minnesota's GreenStep Cities program, which is a voluntary <br />challenge, assistance, and recognition program to help cities achieve their <br />sustainability and quality -of -life goals. This program is based upon 29 best <br />practices, which can be implemented by completing one or more actions that are <br />tailored to Minnesota cities, focusing on cost savings, energy use reduction, and <br />civic innovation. <br />Roseville became a GreenStep City in July of 2014 by City Council Resolution, <br />became a Step 2 City in June of 2015, has been working towards achieving Step 3, <br />and will continue work towards becoming a Step 3, 4, and 5 City. <br />The City has used this program to document action related to energy efficiency in <br />City facilities and street lighting, land use policies that promote density, multi - <br />modal transportation support, solid waste reduction, water management, and <br />more. <br />Visit www.MnGreenStep.org to learn more about this program and to see what <br />Roseville and other cities have accomplished. Additional detail about Roseville's <br />current and past initiatives is provided in the Goals and Policies section below. <br />Chapter9 I Page 2 <br />
