Local Climate Action Grants: Planning Application 5. Co-benefits from project completion to help ensure a lasting impact: Describe what, if any, benefits the project deliverables will provide for the community to help ensure a lasting impact (e.g., will: meet application requirements for an identified funding opportunity, assign direct responsibility / timeline for implementation of included actions, include follow up adding budget line items to implement all or parts of the plan, identify actions that advance equity in the community). (maximum 200 words): By creating a climate equity action plan addressing both mitigation and adaptation measures, the City of Roseville will develop measurable goals and objectives to work towards and be better prepared to understand how the city can take advantage of upcoming state and federal funding opportunities. As the plan will be developed with significant community feedback, the City expects it to not only inform which projects and policies should be prioritized in the short- and long-term, but also which topics are most important to Roseville residents. 6. Barriers and challenges: What are the potential barriers or challenges for this project, and how will they be addressed: Roseville includes several communities of new immigrants with limited English proficiency, and these groups tend to have low levels of trust with government entities. By connecting with trusted local leaders and developing outreach materials in residents’ native languages, we hope to gather feedback on how Roseville staff can best support those communities in matters of climate change, including reducing energy burden and providing community services. 7. Metrics to track project success: a. Describe what process or metrics will be used for tracking future implementation of actions identified in the plan. (maximum 200 words): We plan to identify measurable metrics to track within the climate equity action plan, and will create a dashboard on the city website to track our progress, as well as provide regular reporting to our City Council and commissions. b. Describe any additional process or metrics that will be used for tracking co-benefits of the planning project. (maximum 200 words): Our annual GreenStep Cities reporting requirements will be an additional opportunity to show the impacts of our climate equity action plan. As Roseville works to advance in other programs such as SolSmart, Charging Smart Cities, and the Gold Leaf Program, the metrics identified throughout the plan will also help to show progress in these areas. 3. Experience and qualifications 1. Describe applicant organization’s experience and qualifications related to its role in the proposed project. Provide detailed information about the qualifications and experience with similar projects of the specific personnel from the applicant organization who will work on the project. (maximum 500 words): Environmental Manager Ryan Johnson has been with Roseville for 11 years, and manages the city’s stormwater infrastructure, the city’s Comprehensive Surface Water Management Plan, and plans for future stormwater projects in the CIP. Mr. Johnson facilitated Roseville’s membership in the GreenStep Cities program and managed activities and best practices to reach Level 5, worked to develop and implement Roseville’s Partners in Energy program and Energy Action Plan, and supported other projects such as the city’s onsite solar panels and participation in community solar gardens. He worked with PaleBlueDot to develop Roseville’s 2018 Population Vulnerability Assessment, and took steps for the city to be certified as SolSmart Gold. Sustainability Specialist Noelle Bakken has been with Roseville for over 3 years and oversees sustainability projects and community outreach efforts. She facilitated Roseville’s participation in the Charging Smart Cities program, with Roseville reaching Bronze in 2024, as well as assisting in the Partners in Energy program implementation starting in 2021. She recently worked with city staff and elected officials to adopt a Green to Go ordinance requiring all food takeout containers to be recyclable, compostable, or reusable. She works closely with Ramsey County to connect cities in the county on sustainability and climate change efforts. 2. Will anyone outside your organization be responsible for work performed?
