REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 9/9/2024 Item No.: 7.d. Department Approval City Manager Approval Item Description: Consider City Council Appointment to Ramsey County League of Local Governments Climate Action Workgroup (RCLLG-CLAW) Subcommittee on Manufactured Home Climate Resiliency 1 2 Background 3 The Ramsey County League of Local Governments (RCLLG) has a group of members that 4 are working on climate change and resiliency issues. The working group, Climate Action 5 Workgroup (CLAW), applied for and received a $50,000 grant from the Minnesota Pollution 6 Control Agency (MPCA) to conduct planning and outreach with the owners and residents in 7 manufactured home parks in Ramsey County. The work done as part of the grant will set 8 the stage for potential future public and private investments to improve weatherization and 9 climate resilience of manufactured homes. 10 11 RCLLG- CLAW is looking for elected city representatives to serve on a subcommittee to 12 help provide strategic direction of the work and help develop and strengthen connections to 13 manufactured homeowners and residents in each community. The work is expected to take 14 9 -10 months. 15 16 Policy Objectives 17 Among the City's aspirations is having "a community of thriving and diverse neighborhoods 18 with quality housing and businesses that meet the needs of, and provide opportunities for, 19 all people"; "a community that treasures and preserves natural areas and open space and 20 prioritizes environmental conservation and sustainability"; and "a city that fosters a strong 21 sense of community through effective and effective communication, effective engagement, 22 and collaborative decision-making". The work proposed to be done with grant funding for 23 manufactured home communities aligns with the Community Aspirations described above. 24 25 Equity Impact Summary 26 Roseville has one manufactured home park; Roseville Estates at 2599 Lexington Ave. 27 Although the City does not have any direct information about demographics for the this 28 community, Census Tract 414, where it is located, shows key trends that highlight a slightly 29 younger and more diverse population compared to the rest of Roseville. Residents in this 30 area also have a lower per capita income compared to the rest of Roseville, and have a 31 lower poverty rate than the rest of the community. The Census Tract also includes more 32 residents that moved into the area in the past year and includes more foreign-born 33 individuals than the rest of Roseville.
