CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS - COUNCIL LETTER

ITEM: SOLAR GARDENS SUBSCRIPTIONS

DEPARTMENT: Public Works CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:

BY/DATE: Kevin Hansen / February 17, 2016 BY/DATE:

BACKGROUND: When initially presenting on solar power for the City, staff discussed three options with the council:

• MIM – Made in Minnesota Program• Rooftop Solar• Community Gardens

In January the council approved solar contracts under the first two programs for four City buildings; Top Valu I, Public Safety, Public Works, and the new Library.

Earlier in 2015, a consortium of government entities that included 31 cities formed to evaluate community gardens in the metro area. In July of 2015 the consortium formed a lottery for solar garden subscriptions led by the Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County, Ramsey County, and the City of Minneapolis. The lottery process was completed in January of 2016. The City of Columbia Heights was awarded (4) 200kW subscriptions with two different developers, 400kW with US Solar and 400kw with Geronimo Energy. Both subscriptions are for 25 years with no renewal and require a Letter of Intent signed by February 29, 2016.

Solar gardens are similar to rooftop solar except the gardens can be physically located in the same county as the city or an adjoining county. The gardens are 1 megawatt in size and each garden may have multiple subscribers. The City would receive a monthly credit from Xcel Energy and pay the developer monthly. There is no out-of-pocket cost to the City for either subscription.

Xcel Energy electric rates have increased an average of 2.65% over the past 13 years. The two developers each have different subscription contracts which are outlined below.

US Solar subscription is a flat rate subscription. This means that we would pay the same monthly rate throughout the 25 year contract to the developer. Attached is a pro forma with different yearly rate increases highlighted in yellow. Depending on rate increases, the City could save $600,000 to $900,000 over the 25 year period.

Geronimo Energy subscription is a monetary discount from the bill, a credit of $0.01 for every kW generated by the solar garden. This would remain the same throughout the contract. The pro forma is attached. This would save the city $158,201 in the 25 year period of the contract.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: There are no upfront costs to the City in either of the subscriptions above. A third party investor purchases, installs, and operates the systems. The City then purchases the renewable energy at a reduced rate.

City of Columbia Heights - Council Letter Page 2

Staff recommends signing a Letter of Intent for entering into a contract with US Solar based upon the review of the subscription contract, the average rate increases in the cost of electricity by Xcel Energy, and the monetary benefit to the City.

RECOMMENDED MOTION(S): Move to sign a Letter of Intent for entering into a 25 year contract with US Solar Corporation of Minneapolis, MN for a flat rate subscription and authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same.

ITEM: Adopt Resolution 2016-20, Authorizing Mutual Aid Agreement with Minnesota DNR

DEPARTMENT: Fire CITY MANAGER’S APPROVAL:

BY/DATE: Gary Gorman / February 22,2016 BY/DATE:

Background: The Fire Department currently shares equipment and resources with many communities and organizations as a way to provide fast and efficient services at reasonable costs to the citizens we serve. Much of this sharing is covered by mutual aid agreements that from time to time have to be updated to meet current fire service conditions. Fire Departments of Anoka County originally entered into Mutual Aid agreements with the Minnesota DNR in 2009, with the most recent update in 2014. The DNR is updating the agreements at this time. The new agreement is essentially the same with some changes occurring in the equipment. Resolution 2016-20 authorizes the Mayor and Fire Chief to enter into an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for the sharing of resources.

RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):

Move to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2016-20, there being ample copies available to the public.

Move to adopt Resolution No. 2016-20, being a Resolution authorizing a Fire Department mutual aid agreement with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Page 27: City of Columbia Heights

NA-01966-06

7. Submit an invoice to the DNR within 30 days of an incident for which the fire department is requesting reimbursement. Invoices beyond 30 days may not be honored if the fire was not reported timely to the DNR.

2. Investigate violations of the burning laws of the State. (M.S. 88.01 to 88.22 and 88.75) This includes billing the responsible party for all wildland fire suppression costs of the DNR, and the Fire Department if the DNR pays the Fire Department for responding to the fire.

4. Assist the Fire Department with procuring and distributing fire prevention materials. 5. Provide wildland fire suppression training to the Fire Department as workload permits. 6.

Department is available for other emergency response calls.

V. REIMBURSEMENT POLICIES:

1. Lower rates may be negotiated for extended use at the Fire Department’s discretion. 2. When the Fire Department is dispatched through its normal dispatch procedures, and not specifically

requested by the DNR, the Fire Department shall only bill for a Wildland fire run. (A Wildland Fire Run is described as the fire department’s response to a wildland fire that takes up to two (2) hours to suppress.)

3. For hourly billing of equipment requested by DNR Forestry, after the wildland fire run (first 2 hours), time will be rounded to the nearest half hour. Billable time should begin when the Fire Department leaves its station and continue until it returns to its station. Time spent refurbishing and readying equipment for the next call shall not be included as billable time.

4. The fire chief and local DNR forester may discuss charges that are in question prior to submitting a final invoice for payment.

This Agreement is effective on the date of the last signature and is to continue in force for five (5) years or until terminated by either party giving thirty (30) days written notice to the other.
