Very glad to see each one of you, and to those watching, thank you for joining us. We'll begin this evening with our roll call of commissioner members present. Vice Chair Miller-Rose, Commissioner Doolittle? **[00:05] Commissioner Doolittle:** Present. **[00:06] Chair Miller-Rose:** Commissioner Wilson? **[00:07] Commissioner Wilson:** Present. **[00:08] Chair Miller-Rose:** And Commissioner Yang? **[00:09] Commissioner Yang:** Present. **[00:10] Chair Miller-Rose:** Great. Also joining us tonight are Oakdale's Community Development liaison staff member Hannah Dunn—and excuse me—our commission city council liaison... nope, not tonight for Mr. Zabel. We also recognize Oakdale City Administrator Chris Volkers, City Clerk Sarah Ludwig, and soon-to-be City Attorney Jim Thompson in attendance. Next item, we move to our Pledge of Allegiance. So if we could all rise together... I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay, moving towards approval of tonight's agenda. Everybody received a copy prior to the meeting, so assuming no amendments or discussion, I'd like to ask for a motion to approve the agenda for the May 20th EMC meeting. **[01:15] Commissioner:** So moved. **[01:16] Chair Miller-Rose:** Thank you. Now a second? **[01:18] Commissioner:** Second. **[01:19] Chair Miller-Rose:** Great discussion. All in favor of approving the agenda for tonight's meeting of the EMC say "Aye." **[01:23] Commissioners:** Aye. **[01:24] Chair Miller-Rose:** Opposed? Great, thank you. Well, so we're going to do a little skip in the agenda tonight while we wait for one of our presenters and facilitators. We're going to move to the Environmental Management commission review of old business and the approval of our 2024—whoops, I'm skipping way ahead. Thank you, Hannah. We're going to back that train right up and we're going to go to number five: approval of the minutes from the March 18th, 2024, meeting. I think I will invite Commissioners to take a quick minute to review the minutes from last month, or two months ago I should say. Any comments, clarifications, amendments? Okay, hearing none, I'd like to ask for a motion to approve the meeting minutes from March 18th, 2024. **[02:15] Commissioner:** So moved. **[02:16] Chair Miller-Rose:** Great. Is there a second? **[02:17] Commissioner:** Second. **[02:18] Chair Miller-Rose:** Awesome. All in favor of approving the March 18th minutes of the EMC say "Aye." **[02:22] Commissioners:** Aye. **[02:23] Chair Miller-Rose:** Opposed? Great, thank you. Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Jumping around a little bit, we're going to go to Old Business and approve of the 2024 Environmental Management Commission work plan. City staff Hannah Dunn sent us our final proposed work plan in this packet before you. As a reminder of our commitments to the city, our work plan continues to support and be in alignment with Oakdale's EV priorities, General 2040 Comprehensive Plan priorities encompassing renewable energy, efficiency, access to solar, reducing waste and increasing recycling, promoting water conservation, and providing general cross-commission and City assistance as we have enjoyed helping with in the past. So feel free to take one last minute. As another reminder, as Hannah shared, the EMC's 2024 draft work plan was discussed at the February 12th EMC dinner with City Council, and then the City Council subsequently reviewed the work plan at their March 12th, 2024, workshop meeting, and they did not have any additional changes for us to consider. I will open this up to other Commissioners for any comments related to our work plan. Hearing none, I would like to ask for a motion to approve Oakdale's Environmental Management Commission work plan for 2024. **[03:45] Commissioner:** Move. **[03:46] Chair Miller-Rose:** Great. Second? **[03:47] Commissioner:** I second. **[03:48] Chair Miller-Rose:** All right. All in favor of approving the 2024 EMC work plan for the year ahead say "Aye." **[03:52] Commissioners:** Aye. **[03:53] Chair Miller-Rose:** Opposed? Fantastic, thanks everyone. Let's continue the impact. All right, well... my stuff? Go ahead. **[04:00] Hannah Dunn:** You can move to my stuff. **[04:02] Chair Miller-Rose:** Oh, okay great. Well, by direction we are moving to Hannah Dunn's stuff, which is the section in the agenda starting with staff liaison updates. **[04:10] Hannah Dunn:** Yes, thank you. I'll first briefly review the editorial calendar as we do at every meeting. Once discussion on communications content is finished, if we still have time before the advisory body training, I'll provide a few Community Development updates. Looking ahead, the theme for May is bicycling and walking. A post went out yesterday highlighting that May is National Bike Month and linked to the Bike Minnesota website so that people can learn more about events going on and the benefits of bicycling. The theme for June is renewable energy. I brought up at the last meeting that rebates from the Inflation Reduction Act are something that could be promoted on social media. Then July's theme is going plastic-free. There are still plenty of reusable bags that we produced last summer; I can share those at the farmers markets. Last year during July, we promoted the locations in Oakdale where people can bring plastic bags and plastic film so that they can be recycled. We could again promote these locations, but I'm also curious if Commissioners have any other new ideas or suggestions for going plastic-free in July, or if you have other renewable energy content that you think is timely. So I can open it up to a quick discussion about any resources that the Commissioners have come across. **[05:25] Commissioner Miller-Rose:** Regarding renewable energy, there's another group-buy program available called Solar United Neighbors (SUN). I can get the contact information for that. They provide group buys and they've already selected a provider. For the solar, iSolar is the company that has been chosen already. I signed up with them myself and checked this out and got a quote from iSolar. They're very thorough and nobody even had to come out to the house; they all did this through taking pictures of my roof from online. Yeah, there's not a lot of work to check out if your house is good potential for solar energy production. I ended up with a quote for a system that would have a five-year payback, given the Excel solar rewards program and the federal energy rebate. So that was a pretty nice five-year payback on that. Also over the expected 30-year life of the system, there would be over $100,000 in energy savings. We're trying to figure out if we'll be staying on that house for how long at this point. But continuing on that theme, I'm not sure—you know, I'm always cognizant of the capacity of City staff, but especially communications—do we have any testimonials from businesses that have had either rooftop solar or some of the newer ones that have redone their building like the Animal Center? **[06:50] Hannah Dunn:** Yeah, we talked about that at the dinner with Council and I don't believe we had any testimonies on file. I haven't come across any, but that's something we can explore—reaching out and getting some testimonials to share. **[07:05] Commissioner Miller-Rose:** Yeah, I always think it's great when people... there are so many programs, but when people have the story behind what it can mean. **[07:12] Hannah Dunn:** Okay. Are there any other suggestions? Otherwise, I can take these new suggestions, talk to communication staff, and come up with some planned content for the next few months. **[07:22] Chair Miller-Rose:** Great, that'd be great. **[07:24] Hannah Dunn:** Okay, sounds like we can move on back in the agenda to the advisory body training and then we'll come back for my Community Development updates afterwards. **[07:35] Chair Miller-Rose:** Great, thank you. Well, we are moving into advisory body training. I think leaning into some collective learning surrounding compliance and general advisory body support. This is facilitated by City Administrator Chris Volkers and her team to include Sarah and Jim—he'll be here. Administrator Volkers, the floor is yours to begin. **[07:55] Christina Volkers:** All right, I can't stall anymore, so thank you for being patient with us. Of course, Jim will be here any second so we'll get going. Thank you so much for having us tonight, we appreciate it. We're going to take this opportunity to go through Robert's Rules—kind of parliamentary procedure training—and then we're going to provide meeting-specific training. In the future, we're trying to catch up with all the Commissioners between the months of April, May, and June. I think we're meeting with each commission and then everybody who gets appointed after that, there will be an annual training just for them. So you won't have to keep going through this unless you want to, of course. But we are going to do this kind of sweep of "here's the information for everybody," and then when you have new members, which usually start in July, we'll have a once-a-year training so everybody's on the same page. This is a result of the Council requesting that we more formalize the commissions as far as making sure we're all doing things the same. The City Council has Council meetings and Workshop meetings. Between the two, there's four of them a month total, and we follow a very strict parliamentary procedure and Robert's Rules. Everything's actually laid out in city code that says that we will follow Robert's Rules, etc. So we just want to make sure that we're kind of all on the same page with the commissions—that the minutes look the same, that we're all kind of doing things the same. That's the point of this. I'll provide some introductory information, Sarah will jump into the details—the most fascinating part—and then Jim will come back and talk about the legal things that are important in regards to the laws in the State of Minnesota and the city code that have to do with your meetings to make sure that we're following those. Feel free to interrupt us at any time, glad to take a pause. Just kind of yell at me or whatever you want to do. Okay, so with that, we'll get started with the agenda for tonight. Like I said, I'm going to go through some basic City information just to make sure that we're all understanding how the city is shaped administratively and how the hierarchy and the authority goes. We'll talk about boards and commissions 101, Sarah will cover meeting information, Jim will cover legal information, and then we'll talk about communications and next steps. As you see on the screen, the mission statement has been around a really long time. In fact, the City Council is embarking on a very comprehensive strategic planning effort this year. We have not done a deep dive for... ever? I don't know when. So this could be evolving, but this is a pretty solid mission statement that we are very proud of. It basically says we want to provide top-notch services to our citizens. We recognize that we are here to serve the public. That's why we do our jobs, many of us, and that's why you're sitting up there, I'm sure—what we want to do is contribute. So with that, we just kind of try to encapsulate that in a mission statement many many years ago. We'll take another look at it. As I mentioned, these six core values—we do live by them. We quote them with every interview we have on recruitment. We talk about these six values with new employees, with all the employees, and we really take them seriously: Respect, Responsibility, Sustainability, Excellence, Integrity, and Innovation. Those are our guiding values on how we serve the public and how we try to do our jobs. There are five elected officials for the city of Oakdale. We've got Mayor Zabel, who used to be a council member for quite a while, and he was elected Mayor in late '22, so he started his term January of '23. He's served '23 and '24 so far and he's got two more years on his mayor term. Council Member Her was appointed for a vacancy last year in 2023; he's finishing out his term and he is on the ballot this November for election. Council Member Jake Inton has been on the council six or eight years—a while. He's also a long-term incumbent, as is Susie Olson. Susie is a liaison to the Tree Board, as you can see there. Jake's the liaison to the Planning Commission. Your liaison, as you certainly know, is Mayor Zabel. Then we have Council Member Marcov, who was elected in late '22, so he's been on the Council since January of '23 and he's liaison for Parks and Rec. Those are our five elected officials. You can see this City chart: we've got the residents who are the taxpayers who we serve at the pleasure of. We've got the Mayor and Council who are elected. There's a dotted line over to the prosecuting attorney, who is Cam—he's on staff here and he actually works for me. And then there's a dotted line to the City Attorney. Then you've got the advisory boards and commissions, which are you guys, and the City Administrator—me. And then the operations flow up through that hierarchy. So that's kind of how it works. With the commission that you're on, the EMC and all boards and commissions, they report directly to the Mayor and Council. We as City staff are just here to support your efforts. These are the leadership team members—the management team as we call it. You've got our Community Development Director Andy, who you do know—Hannah's direct immediate superior. Our Communications Department is run by Lori Pobeck. Finance Department is run by Kyle; he was just promoted in the fall of '23 but he's been with the city for several years. Fire Chief, who is also Acting Public Works Director—I know it doesn't seem like it goes together, but it's going fine. We have a new Public Works Director starting June 17th. Human Resource Director Melanie Lee, Police Chief Nick Newton, and Recreation Superintendent Julie Williams. That's our management team. So with that, I think I turn it over to Sarah to go into the fun in the details. **[13:50] Sarah Ludwig:** All right, thank you Chris, and thank you all for allowing me to be here tonight. Yes, I'm going to talk to you a little bit more about boards and commissions. The city of Oakdale has five advisory bodies: the Tree Board, the Planning Commission, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Economic Development Commission, and of course the Environmental Management Commission. Each advisory body is assigned a staff liaison. We have the Planning Commission assigned Luke McClanahan, who's our City Planner. The Parks and Recreation Commission has two staff liaisons: Recreation Superintendent Julie Williams and Park Superintendent Jeff Koesling. Economic Development Commission is assigned Community Development Specialist Max Losi. Then we have Hannah Dunn, Community Development Specialist, who is assigned to the Environmental Management Commission. Right now, we do have Chief Wold acting as our Tree Board staff liaison as we fill the City Forester position. We have City advisory bodies for a couple of reasons: one is to advise the City Council and also to allow for meaningful participation by residents. There are a few guiding documents for our advisory bodies, the first being the city code. Each advisory body does have its own dedicated section within our city code. We also have a City Policy CC-002, City Council Advisory Boards and Commissions, that is specifically dedicated to our advisory bodies—how they operate, internal processes, things like that. And then the last item on here is new: we are rolling out a handbook which is going to be a guide for the general policies and procedures that apply to all the City advisory bodies, and that will be disseminated via email when we have it finalized. Advisory bodies do a few things: they are able to report and comment, which is providing feedback to the city on initiatives, goals, annual plans, that type of thing. You also make recommendations to the City Council, and you are able to participate in City initiatives, projects, and events. Advisory body work can be initiated by you—the board or commission—by the City Council, and also by the City Administrator. A work plan is a guide that helps the commission or board focus on the work during its monthly meetings and also throughout the year. I know you just finalized and approved your work plan for this year. It is something that can detail annual ongoing items or provide a roadmap for specific projects. So each year you will work with the City Council to gain feedback and then finally approve your work plan at your meeting. There are a few things that advisory bodies do not do: the first being direct the work of City staff; take responsibility for financial performance of City facilities or programs, as commissions and boards do not have financial authority; and then speaking on behalf of the city or the advisory body itself without permission or discussion first. Next, I'll go through a few special roles. First, we have the Chair. The Chairperson is elected annually at the first meeting of the year and they do preside as the presiding officer at the meeting. They are responsible for keeping the meeting moving, assuming that everyone's reviewed the material ahead of time. The Vice Chair is also elected annually at the first meeting of the year and they will preside over the meeting in the Chair's absence. The staff liaison is assigned by the city to act as support staff and they take part in the discussions as applicable. They make sure that the recording is working correctly, they prepare the agenda, and they also take the minutes. The Council Liaison is a member of the Council who is assigned to the advisory body. They also attend the meetings regularly as their schedules allow and they report on any relevant city council information. Then, similarly, they'll take back any information from your meeting and bring it back to the City Council. Lastly, the ex-officio member is a specific designation, such as a student, and they are non-voting. Looking at the annual calendar: at the first meeting, you will vote for your officers, either in January or February. There will be an appreciation event with the City Council and this is where you will discuss your annual work plan. In July, we will have a new member orientation along with those who are reappointed. In the fourth quarter annually, you will work on that work plan as a commission prior to coming to the Council for a discussion. Next, we'll go over meetings. Your meetings are known as regular meetings. They have an established cadence—your meetings are every third Monday of the month except for January, April, July, and December. They are at 7:00 p.m. here in our Chambers. The staff liaison does take the minutes at the meeting. There is also clerical staff who helps with the minutes after the fact, and of course, the meetings are recorded. Taking a look at a few key components of minutes—these guidelines here do follow Robert's Rules of Order. Within the minutes you'll have the meeting name, date, time, and place. You'll have who was in attendance, the approval or any corrections of the previous minutes, any motions that were made (including who made the motion and who provided the second), a summary of what happened, any other action that was taken, and in general, the minutes are a record of what was done, not what was said. Who creates the agenda? We do have our staff liaison create the agenda in consultation with the Chair. We do ask that commission members come prepared to the meetings—review the agenda and any related materials prior. You're always welcome to bring your questions and comments to the meeting. You could always reach out to your staff liaison with questions beforehand as well. The agenda does follow that order of business in Robert's Rules of Order. This slide takes a look at your agenda. You'll have your header, and then the body is going to have each agenda item: your call to order, the call of roll (which is a verbal roll call having all members' names called out—we do ask that the staff liaison do the roll call), the Pledge of Allegiance, and then the approval of the agenda. The open forum portion—this is new to some of our advisory bodies. This follows City Policy MIS-014, which are the guidelines that our City Council uses for their open forum portion. We do ask that even if there may not be any members in the audience, the Chair still opens that up. We want to encourage participation from our residents. Item number seven here is the Environmental Management Commission review of old business. Alternatively, review of new business will be anything that's formally coming to the commission for the first time. Under other, we have our staff liaison updates, commissioner updates, and then we have our Council liaison update. Lastly, the adjournment, which does require a motion and a second. We do want to ensure that everyone understands that attendance is important. Chronic absences may lead to member removal. A quorum is a minimum number of voting members that must be present in order for the advisory body to conduct business. If a quorum is present at the beginning of a meeting, the quorum must be maintained for the advisory body to continue. A few things to avoid: we do ask that you do not speak over or cut off any other individuals; do not insult, disparage, or put down people or their ideas; do not bully other members by displaying a pattern of belittlement. We ask that the Chair maintain order throughout the meeting. Things to strive for: use Robert's Rules of Order, treat others with courtesy and kindness, encourage others to express their ideas, and understand that there may be differences in those opinions. Regarding standards of appearance, business casual dress is appropriate. Please speak clearly into the microphones for the best audio quality, do not speak until called upon by the Chair, and remain quiet when that "on air" sign is turned on prior to the start of the meeting. With that, I'll turn it over to City Attorney Jim Thompson for the legal aspects. **[22:05] Jim Thompson:** Good evening. My name is Jim Thompson, I'm the City Attorney. I'm in private practice; the city contracts with the law firm Kennedy & Graven to provide legal services. I've been City Attorney since 2009. My job tonight is to just tell you about certain rules that govern you now that didn't govern you before you became a commission member. The first one's not actually a law, but they asked me to cover it briefly, which is Robert's Rules of Order. I've got a little video here. [Video plays regarding the adoption of agendas, the core of making motions, seconding, and debate]. The only thing that doesn't apply to you from that video is you don't vote by a show of hands; you vote by motion and second. The simplest thing on these motions is most of the time your motions would be to make a recommendation, particularly to the City Council. A couple of comments about the role of a Chairperson: the Chair presides at all the meetings and generally ensures that the group reviews and acts upon the items on the agenda. Now let’s get to these laws. The first one is the Open Meeting Law. Its purpose is to prohibit action from being taken at a secret meeting. It ensures the public's right to be informed. Interestingly, the Open Meeting Law doesn't have a definition of the word "meeting" in it; that comes from a 1983 court decision. A meeting is a gathering of a quorum where members discuss, decide, or receive information as a group on matters related to City business. Note that it doesn’t say where a "decision" is made. If you discuss City business as a group, that's a meeting. How does this apply to electronic devices? Emails, tweets, or text messages are tricky. Some court opinions say emails aren't "meetings," but the state agency IPAD says they can be. Most City Attorneys, including me, recommend you treat emails as if they could be a meeting. Don't engage in serial email conversations. A one-way email from staff is fine, but the problem is that "reply to all" button. My advice is to work through your staff liaison and she can coordinate things. Also, emails between Commissioners are almost always going to be public data. The next law is the Data Practices Act. Emails or data that pertain to City business is "government data." It doesn't matter if it's on your personal device or a city device. If it relates to the performance of your official duties, it's government data. This only comes out when someone makes a request under the Act, but you never know when that's going to happen. Conflict of Interest: Any member who has a financial interest or may receive a financial benefit as a result of an action would have a conflict. If you do, disclose it and abstain from voting or participating. You don't have to leave the room, just refrain. My experience is that 80% of the time when a member feels they have a conflict, they really don't, but it's better to err on the side of safety. If your brother-in-law comes before the commission, as long as you don't have a financial interest, you don't technically have a legal conflict, but you may abstain for the appearance of it. Finally, the Gift Law: Members of a commission may not receive gifts from any "interested person"—someone who could potentially come before you for some sort of action. If you think somebody's giving you a gift because you're a commission member, it most likely is a gift. Again, that's a brief overview so you're aware of these things. I'm always happy to answer questions. Thank you, and good luck with your job. **[28:10] Christina Volkers:** We're going to wrap it up, but before I move on to communication, any questions so far? **[28:15] Commissioner:** How big is our quorum? **[28:17] Christina Volkers:** You have five members, right? So a quorum would be three. **[28:20] Commissioner Miller-Rose:** Surrounding conflict of interest: does that disclosure still need to be in writing? **[28:25] Jim Thompson:** No. Just disclose it to the staff person. Then, if there is a vote on that item, you would disclose it during the meeting by saying "I have a conflict so I won't be voting on this." You don't have to explain the conflict. **[28:40] Commissioner:** I have a question about getting approval if you're going to be speaking at, say, a conference. There's an environmental commissioners group that gets together annually. Do we need to get approval if we're going to be speaking there? **[28:55] Christina Volkers:** I don't think "approval" is the right word. I think the proper way is to let your staff liaison know. She'll check with me and her boss, and then just mention it to your colleagues at the meeting. We want to support you getting the word out on the good work we do. In regards to communications, if you haven't subscribed to our main city website, please do. You can sign up for alerts for the EMC, Council updates, or the new Public Works building. Please follow us on social media: Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Nextdoor. Share what you like that we post. Also, communicate with the public on behalf of the city when you can, but ensure that the decisions of the advisory body as a group is the information you're sharing. Commissioner Miller-Rose, when you're speaking on behalf, make sure it’s not just your personal opinion—speak as a body. Next steps: We need to enhance our membership. Some commissions are not full. Tell your neighbors and friends. As an EMC commissioner, review Chapter 6 of the city code—that is your governing document. And if you need any support, reach out. Any other questions? No? Okay, thank you so much for having us. **[31:30] Chair Miller-Rose:** Thank you. Great, thanks again Administrator Volkers, City Clerk Ludwig, and Staff Attorney Thompson for being here tonight. Next up: general Community Development updates. **[31:45] Hannah Dunn:** Yes, I've got a few of them. First, Home Energy Squad rebates for Oakdale residents are officially available. This was an idea brought forth at the September EMC meeting and it's finally a reality. The 50% rebates are available for a limited number of households. Second, the city recently earned designation as a "Charging Smart Bronze Community." Oakdale was one of nine cities in Minnesota that were the first in the nation to be designated in this program that recognizes communities for electric vehicle readiness. Earning bronze designation is due to the significant amounts of hard work done by this commission, city council, and staff. Lastly, reporting for 2023 GreenStep Cities was due back in April, and I recently received news that Oakdale again received Step 4 and 5. So the city is able to add a couple more blocks to the award in the lobby. Do any Commissioners have questions or comments? **[32:50] Commissioner:** Some cities post their GreenStep City sign on the posts right when you're driving into the city limits. I don't think we have any of those, do we? **[33:00] Hannah Dunn:** The previous staff liaison said there was one, but nobody can find it. If we want to spend $80, we could get a new one. I'll look into it and bring it up to see what can be done. **[33:15] Commissioner:** I have a question about the "Tree City" sign. We've been a Tree City for 25 years. Where can we find information about what we did to become a Tree City? **[33:25] Hannah Dunn:** I believe it's an annual application. I don't know the exact metrics, but I know we received the designation again this year and we have a new flag. I will look into what that entails. **[33:40] Chair Miller-Rose:** I have three things. First, in years past, this commission has plugged into the voluntary "Adopt-a-Drain" program. As a group, we voluntarily adopted three drains right outside council chambers. We volunteered 15 minutes twice a month over the course of the warmer months. There's no formal motion, but just a general voluntary reminder that we recommit to this process. Hannah, if there's a way we could get the past calendar to see what that looked like, we can revisit this in June to see who's willing to commit to what months. **[34:15] Hannah Dunn:** I've come across the calendars from previous years, so I will dig that up and we can have a discussion. **[34:25] Chair Miller-Rose:** Great. Second, a reminder that the EMC has made a commitment to work alongside City staff to design and execute an environmental fair in 2025. We look forward to identifying planning meeting dates in the next 30 to 45 days. Third item: simply say thanks for providing a pretty great bus tour the other week—the development bus tour. I just want the record to show that we were the only commission with 100% participation. Thank you all of you for showing up in that way. I did take the survey link you sent out. Well, this brings us to the end of the agenda. Our next meeting of the EMC will occur on Monday, June 17th, at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers. With that, I'd like to call for a motion to adjourn tonight's May 20th meeting of the Oakdale EMC. **[35:10] Commissioner:** So moved. **[35:11] Chair Miller-Rose:** Is there a second? **[35:12] Commissioner:** Second. **[35:13] Chair Miller-Rose:** All in favor of adjourning tonight's meeting say "Aye." **[35:15] Commissioners:** Aye. **[35:16] Chair Miller-Rose:** Opposed? Great, thanks everyone.
