COVID-19 Contingency Planning
<br />Indicate how you will ensure that your organization has the technical ability and organizational capacity to enable the member to teleserve if required (i.e. laptop, VPN, Skype, alternative supervision, etc.)
<br />If needed, the member will be able to work remotely. Currently all staff are working remotely on a daily basis, and the member would also be able to do so. The member will either get a laptop with a VPN, or will be able
<br />to remote access into a city computer from their location. A work computer (desktop or laptop) can be provided to the member so they can remote into a city desktop if they do not have a computer or choose not to use
<br />their own. By either using a VPN or remote desktop, the member will be able to access the city network.
<br />The member will be included in daily check in meetings with the department via Zoom. Daily check ins, or as needed, with the supervisor can be completed via a phone call or Zoom. Other meeting types such as Skype,
<br />Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting, etc., are also available but currently the city is using Zoom.
<br />If applicable, indicate what activities listed above could not be performed remotely and list replacement activities and corresponding hours.
<br />All the activities described above can be performed remotely.
<br />Plan for program start/onboarding:
<br />Roseville will have in -person orientation. That way the member can get set up with a city computer, cell phone, ID badge, key card, email, remote access, administration documents, work plan overview, other details,
<br />etc. Staff will work with the member to determine the best course forward, based on the comfort level of the member. Additional days can be spent in the office, or the member can shift to teleserving. If teleserving starts,
<br />staff will check in with the member a few times a day in the beginning until the member is comfortable with the work. Staff will have, at a minimum, daily check ins with additional meetings as requested when the member
<br />is working more independently. Currently staff are working remotely, and some staff will be continuing to do so until the end of 2020/early 2021. Staff will keep the member updated as new information is available. Staff
<br />will make themselves available to meet onsite with the member as needed to ensure a productive work place, and to keep the member engaged and interested.
<br />Air pollutant reduction member position
<br />Service position summary
<br />Work with local government(s), school districts, nonprofit and community -based organizations, and their partners to decrease the overall energy use of buildings and vehicles through
<br />benchmarking/assessment, engagement, and implementation of conservation and efficiency measures (such as scheduling of HVAC/lighting systems or fleet reservations, equipment retrofits or replacement,
<br />expanded multimodal transportation to reduce vehicle miles traveled, employee engagement and behavior change campaigns). Encourage the transition to clean energy sources for building operations and
<br />vehicle refueling. Reduce emissions of air pollutants (e.g., fine particulates, toxics, GHGs) and strengthen the resilience of communities through greater preparedness for challenging circumstances, including
<br />adapting to Minnesota's changing climate. Address the impacts of more frequent freeze -thaw cycles and ice formation by improving facilities and transportation management/application of chloride (road salt).
<br />Interact with applicable state agencies, utilities, community organizations, and non-profit green building, green fleet, and/or green transportation programs (through campaigns, workshops, events, media,
<br />etc.).
<br />Essential functions
<br />• Assist with the collection, benchmarking, and reporting of baseline and current data on energy and water use and GHG emissions for public buildings using existing databases and tools such as the state
<br />of Minnesota Buildings, Benchmarks and Beyond (133), ICLEI and/or Energy Star.
<br />• Retrofit public structures to improve energy efficiency, which includes implementing energy conservation measures to reduce operational energy consumption, upgrading thermal performance, or
<br />improving building maintenance. (Examples include aligning the operation of lighting and HVAC equipment with occupant schedules, upgrading to more efficient lighting or equipment, customizing
<br />facilities operations manuals, installing smart power strips/sensors/vending misers, exploring plug load/information technology power management strategies. A building is considered retrofitted if the
<br />combined energy savings total at least 10,000 kWh per year for structures 15,000 square feet or greater, and prorated for smaller structures.).
