Background In April of 2008, the City of Eden Prairie accepted the donation of a 5,400 square foot building to be used as an art center. With the City Council approval, it has become the largest single gift ever offered to the City of Eden Prairie. In May of 2009, the art center opened its doors to the public and has become a much needed and appreciated creative institution for the residence of Eden Prairie. Since 2009 the Art Center programs have grown every year. Beyond classes and summer camps, private lessons, open studio time, birthday parties, group outings, events and display artwork of local artists are offered. The mission of the Eden Prairie Art Center is to enhance the quality of life and foster creativity in our community by proving access to the arts for people of all ages and abilities. The Art Center works to achieve this mission by offering exceptional programing and studio space in mediums ranging from painting, drawing, ceramics, fused glass, jewelry and more.

Workshop - Heritage Rooms I and II (5:30)
I. EDEN PRAIRIE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Mayor Tyra-Lukens called the workshop to order at 5:35 p.m.
Getschow stated the purpose of the workshop’s first topic is to provide an overview of the
Eden Prairie Historical Society’s progress. EPHS President Kathie Case thanked the Mayor,
Council, and staff for being helpful and supportive. She said since EPHS began in 1969, their
number one focus has been preservation. It is important to preserve, protect, and gather
historic information to continue the story of Eden Prairie and help with education.
Mrs. Case said their first item of discussion is grants. EPHS has gotten four grants so far (for
an interpretive plan for the Eden Prairie Historical Museum, an interpretive plan for the
Cummins-Phipps-Grill House, an oral history project, and a fire suppression system at the
CPG House). The Heritage Preservation Commission also gets grants, but they go for the
larger grants to assist with projects such as the remodel of the CPG House’s second level.
She explained EPHS can apply for grants to help store artifacts correctly and meet the needs
of the museum or historical sites. EPHS will continue to bid for grants and also help the HPC
secure grants by providing photographs and documentation.
Mrs. Case shared EPHS is building a relationship with the Hennepin County Museum. When
attending meetings with the Hennepin County Museum, Mrs. Case and Ms. Lacy learned
about how to get grant writers and met with other historical societies to keep moving
forward. Hennepin County is working on a large exhibit related to the Glen Lake Sanatorium
and Mrs. Case noted they do not have the national register plaque or historical sign there.
Next, Ms. Ross said EPHS is also fostering a relationship with the Minnesota Alliance of
Local History Museums (MALHM) and some EPHS board members attended a conference
ITEM NO. VI.A.
City Council Workshop Minutes
September 5, 2017
Page 2
recently to learn how to better preserve buildings and artifacts. They also found out MALHM
offers discounts on storage equipment. EPHS’s main focus this year has been to catalogue
artifacts by taking photos and documenting where each item is currently located, who
donated it and when. The cataloguing of EPHS museum artifacts is nearly complete. Next,
board members will work on cataloguing items at the CPG House and Riley Jacques Barn.
After cataloguing items, Ms. Ross stated Ms. Lacy will enter the information into software
called PastPerfect so it is readily available and easy to share. Ms. Lacy said she is learning
about PastPerfect, the leading museum collection software, and looks forward to helping
EPHS get the artifacts organized.
Butcher Wickstrom asked if the Minnesota Historical Society (MNHS) is aware of EPHS’s
inventory. Mrs. Case said at this time, MNHS is not aware of the artifacts Eden Prairie has
but once everything is logged in PastPerfect, EPHS can easily share the information with
MNHS, the Hennepin History Museum, other historical societies, and residents.
Mrs. Case said with only 9 board members, it can be a challenge to keep up with all the
historical sites in the City and cataloguing artifacts has been time-consuming. Butcher
Wickstrom asked if there is a grant available for assistance in cataloguing inventory. Mrs.
Case replied EPHS does not have a grant writer and has contracted grant writers in the past.
Tyra-Lukens inquired about open hours and promotion of the museum. Ms. Higgins
explained the museum is open from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Mondays and also by
request. When the museum is not open, phone calls get forwarded to Ms. Higgins’ home
phone. Mrs. Case said the museum is promoted through the member newsletter and will also
soon be promoted through newspapers. Ms. Simon pointed out the Fall Harvest Festival and
City Open House are also great events for exposure and bringing people into the museum.
She added they would be happy to have more opportunities to showcase the museum and
bring people in.
Next, Ms. Honaas-Wildfang described EPHS membership. She said there are approximately
137 current members including 27 VIPs. A newsletter is sent to members each month and
membership increases cash flow. Going forward, EPHS would like to involve members more
by offering volunteer opportunities such as tabling during the Fall Harvest Festival.
Mrs. Case explained guests coming to the CPG House often drive right past the parking lot
and a new sign is needed to direct visitors. Getschow said interior signage would be
straightforward and he will talk to Lotthammer about getting a new sign. Mrs. Case said they
are happy to provide a sample and EPHS is willing to help pay for it.
Ms. Qualey and Ms. DeSanctis plan events at the CPG House. Ms. Qualey said this year will
mark the 5th annual holiday event, Santa's North Pole Experience, and about 4,000 people
attended in 2016. Next spring will be the 5th Annual Vintage Sale which is also gaining
momentum. Additionally, EPHS is planning a Ghost Walk where guests will arrive at the
CPG House and then travel by trolley to two cemeteries where EP Players will be acting as
ghosts. These events all help promote the CPG House.
Ms. Qualey also explained recent improvements have been done to keep the house looking
nice while also staying true to the original style. She designed a wall display showing the

September 5, 2017
Page 3
timeline of the Cummins-Phipps-Grill families and it is hung in the house. Board members
are looking at doing a timeline for the Smith Douglas Moore House. Council Members
commented on how nice the timeline display looks.
Ms. DeSanctis said things are going very well at the CPG House but agreed a new sign
would be beneficial to direct visitors and the grounds could be made more inviting. The
house has recently been used for graduation parties and photo shoots. Nelson asked what else
is planned to make it more inviting. Ms. DeSanctis replied an asparagus garden is being
planted. Mrs. Case thought adding benches and tables would be nice for people spending
their lunch hour there. Ms. Honaas-Wildfang said bins for recycling and trash bins would be
appreciated. Tyra-Lukens commended the Historical Society on adding value to the
community and utilizing the CPG House. Case noted Lotthammer’s absence and confirmed
with Getschow these requests will be passed along to him.
Lastly, Mrs. Case touched on the Dorenkemper House. In August, EPHS held a meeting at
the Dorenkemper House and while they were there, a summer camp group stopped by
unexpectedly and the kids really enjoyed seeing the house. She thought the Dorenkemper
House should become part of future summer camps. She also suggested looking into adding
food trucks, a small ice cream shop, or something else easy to run during the summer months
and keeping the lower level of the building open to encourage residents to use this space.
Tyra-Lukens thanked EPHS’s board members for their wonderful presentation and ideas.
Nelson said their work makes an impact on Eden Prairie.
II. EDEN PRAIRIE ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
Rod Rue, City Engineer, gave an update on the Eden Prairie Road construction project and
presented five alternatives for slope grading and retaining walls along the area. The plan
selected will have not only a financial impact but a visual impact to the corridor and Flying
Cloud Drive’s corridor. The first alternative presented was a fully graded plan with no
retaining wall. Next, four alternatives were shown with retaining walls: a full-length wall, a
half-length wall (North), a quarter-length wall, and a half-length wall (South). Nelson asked
how tall the wall would be and Rue responded the wall would be approximately 35 feet.
Nelson questioned whether one of plans including a wall would work better with large
amounts of rainfall or snowfall. Rue responded all plans allow a minimum of 10 to 15 feet
for snow storage between the wall and the road, along with a ditch along the backside to
capture drainage coming down the wall. Plus, there would be a drainage system to collect
and reroute ground water or seepage. Nelson asked if the wall would be blank and Rue
replied it would be a concrete wall and look like the walls being built by the County.
After showing all options, Rue recommended going with the fully graded option with no
retaining wall and all Council Members were in agreement. Rue said stabilizing the slope is
important so for three to four years, it will look like a grassy slope. Nelson asked if
wildflowers and pollinator-friendly plants can be planted for aesthetics and Rue agreed this
could be possible in addition to the prairie grass. Tyra-Lukens said she is so glad there is an
option without a retaining wall not just for aesthetics but also for safety. She asked where
water runoff will go. Ellis said when they’ve worked with sandy slopes in the past, they used

geofabric to reinforce the ground and prevent sheer stress. Aho asked if they are
recommending to not plant trees right away. Rue said trees would not be planted right away
in an effort to first protect the slope with the right vegetation. Case asked if in 10 years there
could be trees and Rue said yes.
Getschow confirmed a lot of analysis has been done taking into consideration cost and the
number of trees removed in each alternative. Rue wrapped up by saying the fully graded
option will result in a lot of excess material and if this project is bid in early 2018, the
contractor can take advantage of using excess material from this project during the
subsequent Flying Cloud Drive project.

The agreement with Edendale has not been finalized, so Item F should be approved with the exception of Edendale.

VACATION OF DRAINAGE, UTILITY, AND ROADWAY EASEMENTS LYING OVER OUTLOT B, PRAIRIE BLUFF AND DRAINAGE AND UTILITY EASEMENTS LYING EASTERLY OF HENNEPIN TOWN ROAD AND SOUTHERLY OF PIONEER TRAIL Getschow said we are not prepared to pass this resolution to vacate the easement tonight because the developer continues to work with one of our utilities. He asked the Council to open the public hearing and hold the hearing, but the resolution for vacation would be included in a future Council agenda. Tyra-Lukens opened the public hearing. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to close the public hearing. Motion carried 5-0.
B. EDEN PRAIRIE ASSEMBLY OF GOD by Station 19 Architects. First Reading of an Ordinance for PUD District Review on 10.06 Acres (Ordinance)
Getschow said the Eden Prairie Assembly of God church is proposing an addition and remodeling of the property. There are no waivers required with the project. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the project. Nicole Thompson, representing Station 19 Architects, gave a PowerPoint presentation reviewing the plans for the property expansion. The expansion will add about 12,000 square feet on the northeast corner of the building. The 186 parking stalls with seven handicapped accessible stalls will remain. They plan to preserve a 20” maple on the north side of the site and will relocate the bike racks. There will be some additions to the landscaping, particularly around the north side of the site She reviewed the site elevations and displayed the exterior finishes planned for the project. She noted there are some nonconformities that exist, but the church would like to address those at a future building phase. Jack Perrin, Pastor of Eden Prairie Assembly of Good, said the church is not considered a mega-church. They are looking for an opportunity to enhance the base facility to invest more into the community. He reviewed the amenities and programs the church offers to members of the community. There were no comments from the audience.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES September 5, 2017 Page 4
MOTION: Butcher Wickstrom moved, seconded by Nelson, to close the public hearing; to approve first reading of an ordinance for PUD District Review on 10.06 Acres; and to direct staff to prepare a development agreement incorporating staff and commission recommendations and Council conditions. Motion carried 5-0. Case commented he was very happy with the project. He noted there were a couple of things that were noncompliant, and the decision was made to address those the next time they come in for a project. He asked if that follows historical precedence and why we would not address some of the nonconformities now. Jeremiah replied staff wanted to work with the church with regard to their resources and what would make sense to bring the project into gradual compliance. They have plans to do additional improvements in the future, and the noncompliant items could be rectified in the future. We have done similar things in the past.
C. CODE AMENDMENT RELATED TO PARKS AND OPEN SPACE ZONING DISTRICT by City of Eden Prairie. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending City Code Chapter 11, Relating to Parks and Open Space Zoning District (Ordinance) Getschow said the Comprehensive Guide Plan adopted in 2009 includes a land use category for Parks/Open Space. There are a number of properties in the City that are designated as Park/Open Space in the 2009 Comprehensive Plan, and those properties are currently zoned a variety of different zoning districts. For the past several months, staff has been preparing draft language to create a new Park and Open Space Zoning District and associated regulations. The intent of the Park and Open Space Zoning District is to ultimately apply these draft zoning regulations to publicly-owned parks and open space in order to bring the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning for these sites into compliance. There were no comments from the audience. MOTION: Aho moved, seconded by Case, to close the public hearing and to approve first reading of an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 11, relating to adding the Park and Open Space Zoning District and associated amendments of other sections of Chapter 11 related to the Park and Open Space Zoning District. Motion carried 5-0.
X. PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION: Nelson moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to approve the payment of claims as submitted. Motion was approved on a roll call vote, with Aho, Butcher Wickstrom, Case, Nelson and Tyra-Lukens voting “aye.”

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2017-93 Certifying the Proposed 2018 Property Tax Levy, Accepting the Proposed 2018 Budget, Setting the Date for Public Hearing, and Consenting and Approving the HRA Tax Levy Getschow said by September 29 cities in Minnesota must adopt a proposed net property tax levy and accept a proposed budget for the coming year. The City must announce at this Council meeting the future time and date of the regularly scheduled meetings at which the budget and levy will be discussed and public testimony taken. He noted we have a two-year budget in Eden Prairie. We began putting together the 2018 and 2019 budget earlier this year. The two-year budget process begins with work done on the department work plans. There have been several Council workshops devoted to setting goals and putting together the budget documents. Getschow said we will kick off the official public engagement process in September and October, and notices will go out in November, based on action in the preliminary budget for taxes next year. There will be a hearing on the 2018 budget at the December 12 City Council meeting. Accepting the proposed 2018 budget and levy sets a ceiling for the levy. The proposed levy includes a 3.9% increase for 2018, and a 3% increase for 2019. He noted this is a very conservative levy and budget. The plan is to provide a completely balanced budget while not increasing the levy beyond the 3.9% increase. Values of homes in Eden Prairie continue to go up, so the proposed 2018 levy will result in an approximate 3.5% increase for the median value home. A $2,000,000 commercial property will see an increase of under 1%. The Council will be looking at the enterprise fund budgets and will further refine this budget before final action is taken in December. Tonight’s action is to set a preliminary levy and budget. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher Wickstrom, to adopt Resolution No. 2017-93 that certifies the proposed 2018 property tax levy to be $37,149,820; sets December 12, 2017 as the meeting which will include discussion of the budget and provide for public comment; accepts the proposed 2018 budget of $48,767,526; and consents and approves the HRA tax levy of $200,000. Motion carried 5-0.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Extension of an Approved Preliminary Plat for Eden Heights East
ITEM NO.: VIII.C.
Requested Action Move to: Adopt Resolution for extension of an approved Preliminary Plat for Eden Heights East. Synopsis The applicant is requesting approval of an extension of the approved preliminary plat for Eden Heights East in accordance with the Subdivision Regulations. The preliminary plat was approved in 2014, but the final plat was not approved within the timeframe established in the Regulations. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the approved plat, but simply wants to extend the exact plat that was previously approved. Given there are no changes being proposed, the request to extend the approved plat is a reasonable request. Staff recommends that the Council grant a two year extension of the approved preliminary plat. If the extension is approved, the preliminary plat approval would extend to September 19, 2019. Background The preliminary plat for Eden Heights East, which divides 1.7 acres into 4 lots was approved on July 14, 2014. However, the final plat was not approved within the timeframe established in the Code. Chapter 12, Section 12.04 Subd. 6. requires a final plat to be approved within two years of the approval of the preliminary plat, but allows the Council to grant a requested extension to an approved preliminary plat. With no changes being proposed to the Eden Heights East plat, there is not a need to have the applicant go through the full process again. An extension will allow the applicant to continue marketing the property before moving forward with a final plat. The final plat must conform to the approved preliminary plat. If the final plat is substantially different than the approved preliminary plat, a revised preliminary plat will have to be approved through the full process before the final plat can be approved.

ITEM NO.: VIII.E.
Requested Action Move to: Adopt resolution requesting an administrative variance from State Aid Standards to

Background Information The City of Eden Prairie is preparing documentation for final submittal and payment for this project. Prior to authorizing final payment, an administrative variance is required to approve this minor project procurement issue. MNDOT requires that the resolution provide that the City of Eden Prairie defend, indemnify and hold harmless the State of Minnesota from claims, demands, actions, or causes of action, costs and expenses arising out of or by reason of the granting of the proposed variance.

Except to the extent prohibited by law, this indemnity applies regardless of any strict liability or negligence attributable to the City (including sole negligence) and regardless of the extent to which the underlying occurrence (i.e., the event giving rise to a claim which would have been covered by the specified insurance) is attributable to the negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission (including breach of contract) of Contractor, its subcontractors, agents, employees or delegates. Contractor agrees that this indemnity shall be construed and applied in favor of indemnification. Contractor also agrees that if applicable law limits or precludes any aspect of this indemnity, then the indemnity will be considered limited only to the extent necessary to comply with that applicable law. The stated indemnity continues until all applicable statutes of limitation have run.
If a claim arises within the scope of the stated indemnity, the City may require Contractor to:
i. Furnish and pay for a surety bond, satisfactory to the City, guaranteeing performance of the indemnity obligation; or
ii. Furnish a written acceptance of tender of defense and indemnity from Contractor's insurance company.
Contractor will take the action required by the City within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice from the City.
10. Indemnification. Contractor will defend and indemnify City, its officers, agents, and
employees and hold them harmless from and against all judgments, claims, damages, costs and expenses, including a reasonable amount as and for its attorney’s fees paid, incurred or for which it may be liable resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, or any negligent or intentional act or omission performed, taken or not performed or taken by Contractor, its agents, contractors and employees, relative to this Agreement. City will indemnify and hold Contractor harmless from and against any loss for injuries or damages arising out of the negligent acts of the City, its officers, agents or employees.

If Hyland is required by law to remit any tax or governmental charge on behalf of or for the account of User, User agrees to reimburse Hyland within thirty (30) days after Hyland notifies User in writing of such remittance. User agrees to provide Hyland with valid tax exemption certificates in advance of any remittance otherwise required to be made by Hyland on behalf of or for the account of User, where such certificates are applicable.
(c) Certain Remedies for Non-Payment or for Late Payment. At the election of Hyland, exercisable by written notice to User, any past due amounts under any Hyland invoice shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or, if lower, the maximum rate lawfully chargeable) from the date due through the date that such past due amounts
Contract #: EU-14484-14580954

and such accrued interest are paid in full. In the event of any default by User in the payment of any amounts invoiced by Hyland, which default continues unremedied for at least ten (10) calendar days after the due date of such payment, Hyland shall have the right to suspend or cease the provision of Maintenance and Support, including the delivery of any Upgrades and Enhancements, to User unless and until such default shall have been cured. 5. LIMITED WARRANTY.
(a) Limited Warranty. For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of completion of Technical Support Services
or Error Corrections Services, Hyland warrants to User that such services have been performed in a good and workmanlike manner and substantially according to industry standards.

If Hyland is unable to correct such nonconformity(ies) after a reasonable period of time, User’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to exercise its termination rights under Section 7.2. This limited warranty specifically excludes non-performance issues caused as a result of incorrect data or incorrect procedures used or provided by User or a third party or failure of User to perform and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or the EULA.
(b) No Warranty of Upgrades and Enhancements. The EULA shall govern any limited warranty or disclaimers
relating to Upgrades and Enhancements of the Software provided to User under this Agreement, and no warranty is given under this Agreement with respect to Upgrades and Enhancements.

HYLAND DISCLAIMS AND EXCLUDES ANY AND ALL OTHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF GOOD TITLE, WARRANTIES AGAINST INFRINGEMENT, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE OR BE DEEMED TO ARISE FROM ANY COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. HYLAND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES OR UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS TO SOFTWARE PROVIDED WILL SATISFY USER’S REQUIREMENTS OR ARE WITHOUT DEFECT OR ERROR, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF ANY OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED. HYLAND DOES NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO ANY THIRD PARTY HARDWARE, FIRMWARE, SOFTWARE OR SERVICES.
(d) No oral or written information given by Hyland, its agents, or employees shall create any additional warranty.

FORCE MAJEURE. No failure, delay or default in performance of any obligation of a party to this Agreement (except the payment of money) shall constitute a default or breach to the extent that such failure to perform, delay or default arises out of a cause, existing or future, beyond the control (including, but not limited to: action or inaction of governmental, civil or military authority; fire; strike, lockout or other labor dispute; flood; war; riot; theft; earthquake; natural disaster or acts of God; national emergencies; unavailability of materials or utilities; sabotage; viruses; or the act, negligence or default of the other party) and without negligence or willful misconduct of the party otherwise chargeable with failure, delay or default.

prompt notice of that fact to the other party. This Section 8 shall in no way limit the right of either party to make any claim against third parties for any damages suffered due to said causes. If any performance date by a party under this Agreement is postponed or extended pursuant to this Section 8 for longer than ninety (90) calendar days, the other party, by written notice given during the postponement or extension, and at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of termination, may terminate this Agreement.

Requested Action
Move to:

Direct staff to include the Redevelopment Plan Modification for Redevelopment Project Area
No. 5, establishment of TIF District 22, and adoption of a TIF plan and agreement for
Elevate at Southwest Station on the October 3, 2017 HRA/City Council meeting agenda.
Synopsis
Timberland Partners (Elevate LLC) is requesting Tax Increment Financing (TIF) for a mixed-use
project that meets the criteria for a new Housing TIF District and use of pooled Housing TIF.
The proposal includes redevelopment of two existing buildings at Southwest Station into a new
6-story building with 222 apartment units over structured parking and approximately 13,000
square feet of restaurant and commercial space. 20% of the apartments would be available and
affordable to households earning less than 50% of the Area Median Income. The HRA/City
Council will formally consider the TIF documents on October 3, 2017, the same date the
Planning development agreement should be ready for City Council approval.
Background
The proposal is for a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) involving redevelopment of the
vacant Ruby Tuesdays and Anchor Bank buildings at Southwest Station by Timberland Partners
(Elevate LLC). A new six-story building would include 222 apartment units over approximately
13,000 square feet of retail and restaurants. A variety of apartment sizes and price points are
proposed with 20% (45 units) reserved for households earning less than 50% of the Area Median
Income (AMI) based upon Hennepin County income data. The remaining market rate units
currently include approximately 8 units affordable to households earning up to 80% of the AMI,
118 units affordable to households earning up to 100% of the AMI (moderate income) as well as
51 higher-priced market rate units. The proposal includes new structured parking and some
shared surface parking that would also serve the adjacent commercial center to the south (R
Taco, etc.). A new public plaza would be created by the developer at the corner of Prairie Center
Drive and Technology Drive. A pedestrian corridor (promenade) through the private property
would connect people from the plaza to the transit facility. Proposed sustainable features include
green roofs, recycled rainwater, and energy efficiency.
Proposed Financing and General Terms:
Due to the extraordinary costs of redevelopment at this site, including the need for pilings due to
unstable soils, public financing is being requested from the City, County and Metropolitan
Council. Elevate at Southwest Station has already been awarded a County TOD loan in the
amount of $300,000 and HOME financing of $250,000. In addition, the City submitted an
application for Metropolitan Council Livable Communities TOD funding in the amount of
$750,000. That application is currently being considered by the Livable Communities Advisory
Committee.
Housing TIF: Timberland is requesting new TIF District financing and pooled TIF. Their
original request was for $8.77 million of new TIF in the form of pay-as-you-go over 26 years and
pooled TIF in the amount of $500,000. Ehlers Public Finance (our TIF consultants) and staff
have reviewed Timberland’s application for a new Housing TIF District and pooled Housing TIF
loan to help defray the costs. Ehlers has determined that the proposal meets the “but for test” for
a full 26 years of TIF District financing as well as $500,000 in pooled Housing TIF collected
from previous projects. However, the development is projected to begin generating above-
average profits after the first few years. Therefore, Ehlers and staff recommend limiting TIF to
20 years of projected pay-as-you go payments with a present value of $7.7 million, while
maintaining the 20% affordability requirements for the full 26 years. This gets the new increment
into the public coffers sooner without impacting the duration of the affordability.
Affordable Unit Mix: During the 26 year affordability period, Elevate would need to maintain
45 units at rents affordable to households whose incomes do not exceed 50% of the AMI.
Elevate would submit annual information to the City regarding the households occupying these
units and the rents they pay compared to commensurate market rate units. Of the 45 affordable
units, a minimum of 8 would be two- bedroom, a minimum of 17 would be one-bedroom units,
and a maximum of 12 would be studios.
Pooled TIF Repayment: The $500,000 in pooled TIF is structured as a loan with 1% simple
interest. It would be payable upon refinancing, sale of the property, or at the end of
Timberland’s HUD loan term (40 years). It’s likely the property will refinance and pay back the
pooled TIF with interest in a reasonable time. However, if it is paid back at the end of the HUD
mortgage term, the City will receive $700,000 toward future affordable housing initiatives.
Park Dedication: Park dedication in the amount of $872,700 will be paid via an excess cash flow
agreement that provides the City with 37.5% of the cash flow in excess of 10% cash-on-cash
return until the park dedication is paid in full. The City Council approved the park dedication
amount as part of the PUD waiver approval. The HRA/City Council will need to approve the
deferral and payment terms as part of the TIF agreement.

Theprovisions of this section do not apply to districts located within a targeted area as defined inSection 462C.02 Subd 9, clause (e).
Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments) 2-2
(c) For purposes of the requirements of paragraph (a), the authority may elect to treat an additionto an existing structure as a separate building if:
(1) construction of the addition begins more than three years after construction of theexisting structure was completed; and
(2) for an addition that does not meet the requirements of paragraph (a), clause (2),if it istreated as a separate building, the addition was not contemplated by the tax incrementfinancing plan which includes the existing structure.
Subd. 2. Owner occupied housing.For owner occupied residential property, 95 percent of the housing units must be initiallypurchased and occupied by individuals whose family income is less than or equal to theincome requirements for qualified mortgage bond projects under section 143(f) of theInternal Revenue Code.
Subd. 3. Rental property.For residential rental property, the property must satisfy the income requirements for aqualified residential rental project as defined in section 142(d) of the Internal RevenueCode. The requirements of this subdivision apply for the duration of the tax incrementfinancing district.
Subd. 4. Noncompliance; enforcement.Failure to comply with the requirements of this section is subject to M.S., Section 469.1771.
In meeting the statutory criteria the HRA and City rely on the following facts and findings:
• The District consists of two parcels.• The development will consist of 222 units of rental housing and will also contain approximately 13,266
square feet of commercial space. • The total building area is approximately 337,781 square feet, so the commercial area represents
approximately 4% of the total square footage, which is no more than 20 percent.• 20% of the units will be occupied by households with incomes less than 50% of median income.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 7, the District does not contain any parcel or part of a parcel thatqualified under the provisions of M.S., Sections 273.111, 273.112, or 273.114 or Chapter 473H for taxespayable in any of the five calendar years before the filing of the request for certification of the District.
Subsection 2-7. Duration and First Year of Tax Increment of the District
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1, and Section 469.176, Subd. 1, the duration and first year of taxincrement of the District must be indicated within the TIF Plan. Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.176, Subd. 1b.,the duration of the District will be 25 years after receipt of the first increment by the HRA or City (a total of26 years of tax increment). The HRA or City elects to receive the first tax increment in 2020, which is nolater than four years following the year of approval of the District. Thus, it is estimated that the District,including any modifications of the TIF Plan for subsequent phases or other changes, would terminate after2045, or when the TIF Plan is satisfied. The HRA or City reserves the right to decertify the District prior tothe legally required date.

Subsection 2-8. Original Tax Capacity, Tax Rate and Estimated Captured Net Tax CapacityValue/Increment and Notification of Prior Planned Improvements
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 7 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, the Original Net Tax Capacity(ONTC) as certified for the District will be based on the market values placed on the property by the assessorin 2017 for taxes payable 2018.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subds. 1 and 2, the County Auditor shall certify in each year (beginningin the payment year 2020) the amount by which the original value has increased or decreased as a result of:
1. Change in tax exempt status of property;2. Reduction or enlargement of the geographic boundaries of the district;3. Change due to adjustments, negotiated or court-ordered abatements;4. Change in the use of the property and classification;5. Change in state law governing class rates; or6. Change in previously issued building permits.
In any year in which the current Net Tax Capacity (NTC) value of the District declines below the ONTC, novalue will be captured and no tax increment will be payable to the HRA or City.
The original local tax rate for the District will be the local tax rate for taxes payable 2018, assuming therequest for certification is made before June 30, 2018. The ONTC and the Original Local Tax Rate for theDistrict appear in the table below.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.174 Subd. 4 and M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 1, 2, and 4, the estimatedCaptured Net Tax Capacity (CTC) of the District, within Redevelopment Project Area No. 5, uponcompletion of the projects within the District, will annually approximate tax increment revenues as shownin the table below. The HRA and City request 100 percent of the available increase in tax capacity forrepayment of its obligations and current expenditures, beginning in the tax year payable 2020. The ProjectTax Capacity (PTC) listed is an estimate of values when the projects within the District are completed.
Project Estimated Tax Capacity upon Completion (PTC) $1,402,822
Original Estimated Net Tax Capacity (ONTC) $43,275
Fiscal Disparities Contribution $60,275
Estimated Captured Tax Capacity (CTC) $1,299,272
Original Local Tax Rate 1.0993 Pay 2017
Estimated Annual Tax Increment (CTC x Local Tax Rate) $1,428,290
Percent Retained by the HRA 100%Tax capacity includes a 3% inflation factor for the duration of the District. The tax capacity included in thischart is the estimated tax capacity of the District in year 25. The tax capacity of the District in year one isestimated to be $517,571.
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 4, the HRA shall, after a due and diligent search, accompany itsrequest for certification to the County Auditor or its notice of the District enlargement pursuant to M.S.,Section 469.175, Subd. 4, with a listing of all properties within the District or area of enlargement for whichbuilding permits have been issued during the eighteen (18) months immediately preceding approval of the

The City has reviewed the area to be included in the District and found no parcels for which buildingpermits have been issued during the 18 months immediately preceding approval of the TIF Plan by theCity.
Subsection 2-9. Sources of Revenue/Bonds to be Issued
The costs outlined in the Uses of Funds will be financed primarily through the annual collection of taxincrements. The HRA or City reserves the right to incur bonds or other indebtedness as a result of the TIFPlan. As presently proposed, the projects within the District will be financed with a pay-as-you-go note. Anyrefunding amounts will be deemed a budgeted cost without a formal TIF Plan Modification. This provisiondoes not obligate the HRA or City to incur debt. The HRA or City will issue bonds or incur other debt onlyupon the determination that such action is in the best interest of the City.
The total estimated tax increment revenues for the District are shown in the table below:
SOURCES OF FUNDS TOTAL
Tax Increment $25,685,223
Interest $2,568,522
Land Sale Proceeds/Lease Revenue $0
TOTAL $28,253,745
The HRA or City may issue bonds (as defined in the TIF Act) secured in whole or in part with tax incrementsfrom the District in a maximum principal amount of $17,907,532. Such bonds may be in the form of pay-as-you-go notes, revenue bonds or notes, general obligation bonds, or interfund loans. This estimate of totalbonded indebtedness is a cumulative statement of authority under this TIF Plan as of the date of approval.
Subsection 2-10. Uses of Funds
Currently under consideration for the District is a proposal to facilitate construction of 222 apartment units,of which 45 apartments (20%) will be affordable to households at 50% of the area median income. Theproject will also contain 13,266 square feet of commercial space. The HRA and City have determined thatit will be necessary to provide assistance to the project(s) for certain District costs, as described. The HRAhas studied the feasibility of the development or redevelopment of property in and around the District. Tofacilitate the establishment and development or redevelopment of the District, this TIF Plan authorizes theuse of tax increment financing to pay for the cost of certain eligible expenses. The estimate of public costsand uses of funds associated with the District is outlined in the table on the following page:
Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments) 2-5
USES OF TAX INCREMENT FUNDS TOTAL
Land/Building Acquisition $5,000,000
Site Improvements/Preparation $1,500,000
Utilities $839,010
Construction of Affordable Housing $8,000,000
Administrative Costs (up to 10%) $2,568,522
PROJECT COST TOTAL $17,907,532
Interest $10,346,213
PROJECT AND INTEREST COSTS TOTAL $28,253,745
The total project cost, including financing costs (interest) listed in the table above does not exceed the totalprojected tax increments for the District as shown in Subsection 2-9.
Estimated costs associated with the District are subject to change among categories without a modificationto this TIF Plan. The cost of all activities to be considered for tax increment financing will not exceed,without formal modification, the budget above pursuant to the applicable statutory requirements. The HRAmay expend funds for qualified housing activities outside of the District boundaries.
Subsection 2-11. Fiscal Disparities Election
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, the City may elect one of two methods to calculate fiscaldisparities. If the calculations pursuant to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3, clause b, (within the District) arefollowed, the following method of computation shall apply:
(1) The original net tax capacity shall be determined before the application of the fiscal disparityprovisions of Chapter 276A or 473F. The current net tax capacity shall exclude any fiscaldisparity commercial-industrial net tax capacity increase between the original year and thecurrent year multiplied by the fiscal disparity ratio determined pursuant to M.S., Section276A.06, subdivision 7 or M.S., Section 473F.08, subdivision 6. Where the original net taxcapacity is equal to or greater than the current net tax capacity, there is no captured tax capacityand no tax increment determination. Where the original tax capacity is less than the current taxcapacity, the difference between the original net tax capacity and the current net tax capacityis the captured net tax capacity. This amount less any portion thereof which the authority hasdesignated, in its tax increment financing plan, to share with the local taxing districts is theretained captured net tax capacity of the authority.
(2) The county auditor shall exclude the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority from thenet tax capacity of the local taxing districts in determining local taxing district tax rates. Thelocal tax rates so determined are to be extended against the retained captured net tax capacityof the authority as well as the net tax capacity of the local taxing districts. The tax generated bythe extension of the less of (A) the local taxing district tax rates or (B) the original local tax rateto the retained captured net tax capacity of the authority is the tax increment of the authority.
Eden Prairie Housing and Redevelopment Authority Tax Increment Financing Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments) 2-6
The City will choose to calculate fiscal disparities by clause b.
According to M.S., Section 469.177, Subd. 3:
© The method of computation of tax increment applied to a district pursuant to paragraph (a) or(b) shall remain the same for the duration of the district, except that the governing body mayelect to change its election from the method of computation in paragraph (a) to the method inparagraph (b).

(23) Property tax abatements granted under M.S., Section 469.1813 to property that is subject tovaluation under Minnesota Rules, chapter 8100.
The HRA will comply with M.S., Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 to the extent the tax increment assistanceunder this TIF Plan does not fall under any of the above exemptions. As currently planned, the HRA’sfinancial assistance in this project is for housing and, therefore, falls under exemption (7) above.
Subsection 2-13. County Road Costs
Pursuant to M.S., Section 469.175, Subd. 1a, the county board may require the HRA or City to pay for all orpart of the cost of county road improvements if the proposed development to be assisted by tax incrementwill, in the judgment of the county, substantially increase the use of county roads requiring construction ofroad improvements or other road costs and if the road improvements are not scheduled within the next fiveyears under a capital improvement plan or within five years under another county plan.
If the county elects to use increments to improve county roads, it must notify the HRA or City within forty-five days of receipt of this TIF Plan. In the opinion of the HRA and City and consultants, the proposeddevelopment outlined in this TIF Plan will have little or no impact upon county roads. The HRA and City areaware that the county could claim that tax increment should be used for county roads, even after the publichearing.
Subsection 2-14. Estimated Impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The estimated impact on other taxing jurisdictions assumes that the redevelopment contemplated by the TIFPlan would occur without the creation of the District. However, the HRA or City has determined that suchdevelopment or redevelopment would not occur "but for" tax increment financing and that, therefore, thefiscal impact on other taxing jurisdictions is $0. The estimated fiscal impact of the District would be asfollows if the "but for" test was not met:

The estimates listed above display the captured tax capacity when all construction is completed. The tax rateused for calculations is the actual Pay 2017 rate. The total net capacity for the entities listed above are basedon actual Pay 2017 figures. The District will be certified under the actual Pay 2018 rates, which wereunavailable at the time this TIF Plan was prepared.
Pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b):
(1) Estimate of total tax increment. It is estimated that the total amount of tax increment that will begenerated over the life of the District is $25,685,223;
(2) Probable impact of the District on city provided services and ability to issue debt. An impact of theDistrict on police protection is expected. With any addition of new residents or businesses, policecalls for service will be increased. New developments add an increase in traffic and additional overalldemands to the call load. High density development historically increases the demand of policeresources based on the volume of people living at the property. However, the City does not expectthat the proposed development, in and of itself, will necessitate new capital investment in vehiclesor staffing.
The probable impact of the District on fire protection is not expected to be significant. Typically newbuildings generate few calls, if any, and are of superior construction.
The impact of the District on public infrastructure is expected to be minimal. The development is notexpected to significantly impact any traffic movements in the area. The current infrastructure forsanitary sewer, storm sewer and water will be able to handle the additional volume generated fromthe proposed development. Based on the development plans, there are no additional costs associatedwith street maintenance, sweeping, plowing, lighting and sidewalks. It is estimated that the Districtwill contribute a total of approximately $689,280 in City SAC/WAC fees.
The probable impact of any District general obligation tax increment bonds on the ability to issuedebt for general fund purposes is expected to be minimal. It is not anticipated that there will be anygeneral obligation debt issued in relation to this project, therefore there will be no impact on theCity's ability to issue future debt or on the City's debt limit.
(3) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to school district levies. It is estimated that theamount of tax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to school districtlevies, assuming the school district's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictionsremained the same, is $5,108,791;
(4) Estimated amount of tax increment attributable to county levies. It is estimated that the amount oftax increments over the life of the District that would be attributable to county levies, assuming thecounty's share of the total local tax rate for all taxing jurisdictions remained the same, is $10,299,774;
(5) Additional information requested by the county or school district. The City is not aware of anystandard questions in a county or school district written policy regarding tax increment districts andimpact on county or school district services. The county or school district must request additionalinformation pursuant to M.S. Section 469.175 Subd. 2(b) within 15 days after receipt of the taxincrement financing plan.
No requests for additional information from the county or school district regarding the proposeddevelopment for the District have been received.

Findings for the District
The reasons and facts supporting the findings for the adoption of the Tax Increment Financing Plan forTax Increment Financing District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments), as required pursuant to MinnesotaStatutes, Section 469.175, Subdivision 3 are as follows:
1. Finding that Tax Increment Financing District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments) is a housing districtas defined in M.S., Section 469.174, Subd. 11.
TIF District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments) consists of two parcels. The development will consist ofapproximately 222 apartment units and 13,266 square feet of commercial space. A portion of thehousing units will receive tax increment assistance and will meet income restrictions described inM.S. 469.1761. At least 20 percent of the units (45 apartments) receiving assistance will haveincomes at or below 50 percent of statewide median income. Appendix E of the TIF Plancontains background for the above finding.
2. Finding that the proposed development, in the opinion of the City Council, would not reasonablybe expected to occur solely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future.
The proposed development, in the opinion of the City, would not reasonably be expected to occursolely through private investment within the reasonably foreseeable future: This finding issupported by the fact that the development proposed in this plan contains affordable, workforcehousing units that meet the City's objectives for development. The cost of land acquisition, siteand public improvements and construction makes this housing development infeasible withoutCity assistance. The cost of land acquisition and construction are the same for workforce housingunits as they are for market rate projects. The decreased rental income from the affordable units,means there is less cash flow available to service the operating and debt expenses for the project. The leaves a gap in funding for the project. The need to offset this reduction in rents for theworkforce housing units makes this housing development feasible only through assistance, inpart, from tax increment financing. The developer was asked for and provided a letter and a proforma as justification that the project would not have gone forward without tax incrementassistance.
The increased market value of the site that could reasonably be expected to occur without the useof tax increment financing would be less than the increase in market value estimated to resultfrom the proposed development after subtracting the present value of the projected taxincrements for the maximum duration of the TIF District permitted by the TIF Plan: This findingis justified on the grounds that the costs of acquisition, building demolition, site improvements,utility improvements and construction of affordable housing add to the total redevelopment cost. Historically, the costs of site and public improvements, as well as high market rate rents in theCity have made development of affordable housing infeasible without tax increment assistance.Although other projects could potentially be proposed, the City reasonably determines that noother redevelopment of similar scope providing the desired affordability can be anticipated onthis site without substantially similar assistance being provided to the development.
Appendix F-1
3. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments)conforms to the general plan for the development or redevelopment of the municipality as awhole.
The City finds that the TIF Plan conforms to the general development plan of the City. The TIFPlan is consistent with amendments approved by the City Council to the Comprehensive GuidePlan and zoning.
4. Finding that the TIF Plan for Tax Increment Financing District No. 22 (Elevate Apartments) willafford maximum opportunity, consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for thedevelopment or redevelopment of Redevelopment Project Area No. 5 by private enterprise.
The project to be assisted by the District will result in diversified housing opportunities andincreased employment and increased tax base in the City and the State of Minnesota, and theaddition of a high-quality development to the City.

ITEM DESCRIPTION: Adopt Resolution Approving Energy Action Plan For Eden Prairie
ITEM NO.: XIV.B.1.
Requested Action Move to: Adopt Resolution Approving Energy Action Plan for Eden Prairie. Synopsis The City of Eden Prairie participated in Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy (PiE) program to develop an Energy Action Plan that identifies community-wide goals and strategies for renewable energy and energy efficiency. The Energy Action Plan prioritizes three focus areas to promote electricity and natural gas conservation: residential energy, large commercial and industrial buildings, and public, nonprofit and service organizations. The goals and strategies outlined for each of these focus areas aim to reduce communitywide greenhouse gas emissions, improve quality of life for Eden Prairie residents and increase the economic vitality of Eden Prairie businesses. Background The City of Eden Prairie entered into an MOU with Xcel Energy in January 2017 to participate in Partners in Energy. The Energy Action Team, consisting of residents and community leaders from various businesses and organizations, City commissions and City government, met over a 5-month period to identify focus areas, develop goals and strategies, and advise on implementation. The purpose of this plan is to establish goals and strategies that reduce energy use and increase renewable energy generation and drives Eden Prairie to achieve further greenhouse gas emission reductions. This plan will be integrated into Sustainable Eden Prairie to create and implement both short- and long-term energy initiatives. In addition to generating positive environmental impacts, this plan also seeks to increase community engagement and build on existing assets to help maintain and improve overall quality of life in the community. The Conservation Commission reviewed the city-wide and focus area goals at their August 8, 2017 and September 12, 2017 meetings. Four Conservation Commission Members were also members of the Energy Action Team. At their September 12, 2017 meeting the Commission made syntax and messaging recommendations; and took action to recommend approval of the Energy Action Plan. Attachments

EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
i
Executive Summary Eden Prairie has taken significant steps toward improving environmental sustainability
and reducing carbon emissions. From its successful 20-40-15 initiative to the current
Sustainable Eden Prairie program, Eden Prairie has taken proactive action and
achieved measurable results. The Mayor’s recent declaration of support for the Paris
Climate Agreement represents significant leadership in setting a bold direction for the
future, and this plan seeks to support that intention.
The purpose of this plan is to establish goals and strategies that lower energy use and
increase renewable energy generation, driving Eden Prairie to achieve further
greenhouse gas emission reductions. In addition to generating positive environmental
impacts, this plan also seeks to engage community members and businesses in helping
to reach Eden Prairie’s goals.
The process to develop this Energy Action Plan was facilitated by Xcel Energy’s
Partners in Energy team. The planning team worked together to develop a set of goals
and strategies that build on existing momentum to ensure Eden Prairie remains a
sustainability leader in the future.
Our Vision
Sustainable energy solutions for Eden Prairie.
Our Guiding Principles
1. Encourage energy conservation and increased use of renewable energy,
realizing energy cost savings and reducing our carbon footprint.
2. Identify solutions that are feasible, data-driven and cost-effective, and that
produce measurable results.
3. Pursue inclusive engagement among all sectors of our diverse community.
4. Educate residents, businesses, and nonprofits to inspire ongoing change in
habits.
5. Support business growth and future economic development.
6. Protect and preserve the environment and natural resources for future
generations.
How Will We Get There?
This plan prioritizes three focus areas to promote electricity and natural gas
conservation:
Residential Energy, which includes all Eden Prairie households, both homeowners and renters.
Large Commercial and Industrial Buildings, which include the top 20 percent of commercial energy users.
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
ii
Public, Nonprofit and Service Organizations, which include City facilities, school district buildings, religious entities, nonprofits, private and charter schools, and medical and senior care facilities.
The goals and strategies outlined for each of these focus areas aim to reduce
community-wide greenhouse gas emissions, with the goal of reducing energy-related
greenhouse gas emissions below the 2015 baseline 30 percent by 2025, and
achieve an 80 percent reduction by 2050. Achieving this goal will both improve the
quality of life for Eden Prairie residents, and increase the economic vitality of Eden
Prairie businesses.
This Energy Action Plan outlines a series of specific strategies and actions to meet
these goals, as well as multiple opportunities for members of the community to support
implementation. A more detailed action plan and timeline can be found in Appendix 7.

Letter From the Mayor
Dear Members of the Eden Prairie Community:
The City of Eden Prairie has always been mindful of the
environment and natural resources the community
enjoys. Efforts to reduce Eden Prairie’s environmental
footprint began in earnest after the inaugural Sundance
Summit’s Mayors’ Gathering on Climate Protection in
2005. I participated in the summit and signed the
Mayor’s Commitment to Action, which led to the
formation of the City’s Conservation Commission and
the launch of the 20-40-15 initiative.
After achieving the 20-40-15 energy-efficiency goals,
we launched the Sustainable Eden Prairie initiative in
2017, which is an ongoing effort focusing on education
and implementation of sustainable practices in four areas — energy, landscape, waste
and water in our community. The Energy Action Plan gives us the tools and strategies
to support residents, businesses and public, nonprofit, and service organizations to
create sustainable energy solutions for Eden Prairie.
I’d like to acknowledge the Energy Action Team for their time and effort devoted to
developing this Energy Action Plan. The team is comprised of Eden Prairie residents
and community leaders representing various businesses and organizations, City
commissions and City government. These volunteers collaborated with Xcel Energy’s
Partners in Energy team over a five-month period to create goals, strategies and tactics
to ensure successful implementation of the Energy Action Plan.
Community engagement will be instrumental in successfully implementing our Energy
Action Plan. I ask residents, businesses, service organizations and our City to continue
working together so we can implement and carry out energy efficiency and renewable
energy best practices in support of Sustainable Eden Prairie.
Sincerely,
Nancy Tyra-Lukens
Mayor
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN

Introduction Eden Prairie has taken significant steps toward improving environmental sustainability
and reducing carbon emissions. The City has taken proactive action and achieved
measurable results, including the successful 20-40-15 initiative, developed to increase
energy efficiency in all of city facilities by 20 percent and increase the fuel efficiency of
the city vehicle fleet by 40 percent before 2015, and the Sustainable Eden Prairie
initiative, which seeks to address sustainability in four key areas, one of which includes
conserving energy. The Mayor’s recent declaration of support for the Paris Climate
Agreement represents significant leadership in setting a bold direction for the future,
and this plan seeks to support that intention.
The purpose of this plan is to establish goals and strategies that lower energy use and
increase renewable energy generation, driving Eden Prairie to achieve further
greenhouse gas emission reductions. This plan will be integrated into Sustainable Eden
Prairie and Aspire Eden Prairie 2040 (Eden Prairie’s comprehensive plan update) to
create and implement both short- and long-term energy initiatives. In addition to
generating positive environmental impacts, this plan also seeks to increase community
engagement and build on existing assets to help maintain and improve overall quality of
life in the community.
The process to develop this Energy Action Plan was facilitated by Xcel Energy’s
Partners in Energy team and took place over a series of five workshops between March
and July of 2017. The plan provides an overview of the community’s baseline energy
use, priority focus areas identified by the planning team, and the near-term strategies
and actions required to achieve the energy goals outlined here. Implementation of the
Energy Action Plan will begin in fall 2017 and will be supported by the Partners in
Energy team.
Commitment to Sustainability Prior to joining Partners in Energy, the City of Eden Prairie had already shown itself as a
leader in adopting energy saving practices and priorities for internal operations. Efforts
include the City’s participation and leadership in GreenStep Cities, the 20-40-15
initiative, and active benchmarking of energy use from all City buildings. The City plans
to leverage the successes gained from past and ongoing sustainability efforts by
extending lessons learned to all sectors of the community. Figure 1 provides a summary
of Eden Prairie’s past sustainability efforts. More detail on each of these initiatives can
be found in Appendix 4.

Climate Mayors
Joined in June 2017:
Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens joined Climate Mayors, a group of mayors working together to strengthen local efforts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting efforts for binding federal and global-level policymaking.
The Case for a Community Energy Action Plan After successful completion of the City's 20-40-15 initiative, Eden Prairie began looking
ahead to identify opportunities to achieve similar reductions in the broader community’s
energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The City partnered with the Great Plains
Institute to develop its next initiative — Sustainable Eden Prairie. An engagement
process with residents, City staff, Conservation Commission members, and City
Council, resulted in four sustainability priorities: energy, landscape, water, and waste.
Xcel Energy’s Partners in Energy was identified as the best mechanism to help define
Sustainable Eden Prairie’s goals around energy and energy efficiency.
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN

The City has proven that it can successfully set and achieve internal goals to reduce
energy consumption and integrate sustainability measures. It sought out Partners in
Energy to help create goals and strategies to engage the broader community. In
addition, Eden Prairie also hoped Partners in Energy would equip City staff with the
tools and support needed to achieve measurable results.
Xcel Energy Partners in Energy Xcel Energy is the main electricity provider for Eden Prairie residents. In 2014, Xcel
Energy launched an offering called Partners in Energy to support communities in the
development and implementation of customized, community-driven plans. In 2016, the
City of Eden Prairie submitted an application to participate in Partners in Energy and
became the tenth community in Minnesota to be selected. Other participating Minnesota
communities include the Lake Street Corridor in Minneapolis, Ramsey County’s Parks
and Recreation Department, and the Cities of Maplewood, Red Wing, St. Louis Park,
Edina, Saint Cloud, Saint Paul, Shorewood, Mahtomedi, Faribault, Winona,
Bloomington, and Rosemount. In addition to these 15 Minnesota communities, there are
currently 13 communities participating in Colorado.
The objective of Partners in Energy is to allow communities to develop actionable plans
that advance their energy goals while being supported by Xcel Energy’s technical
expertise, facilitation resources, and program knowledge. After several months of
planning, Xcel Energy continues to collaborate with communities by providing plan
implementation assistance over the course of approximately 18 months.

Eden Prairie convened a team of experts from the community to participate in the
planning process. This Energy Action Team included City staff, commission members,
elected officials, local business representatives, and a school district representative.
The team met five times over the course of six months to review energy use data,
determine priorities, and develop actionable strategies to achieve energy goals.

Where Are We Now? — Baseline Energy Analysis The planning process began with an in-depth look at baseline energy use and
conservation program participation. Data provided by Xcel Energy and CenterPoint
Energy played a crucial role by enabling the Energy Action Team to accomplish two
important tasks. The first was that it allowed the team to understand how the community
currently uses and saves energy, and second the data made it possible to use scenario
modeling with Eden Prairie-specific data to project impacts from achieving energy goals.
Energy Data Sources Xcel Energy is one of two electric
utilities providing service to Eden
Prairie. The southwest corner of Eden
Prairie is served by Minnesota Valley
Electric Cooperative. Figure 4 at right
shows Xcel Energy territory in blue and
Minnesota Valley Electric Cooperative
service territory in pink. CenterPoint
Energy provides natural gas service
throughout the city.
City-specific energy use and Xcel
Energy program participation data was
obtained by matching city shape files
with Xcel Energy customer data from
the years 2014 through 2016. The
electricity data in this plan does not
include use from residents and
businesses in the portion of the city
served by Minnesota Valley Electric Co-op.
Because CenterPoint Energy serves all utility gas customers in Eden Prairie, data for all
Eden Prairie natural gas customers is included in this plan. In addition to providing the
planning team with data on natural gas use, conservation program participation, and
energy savings, CenterPoint Energy actively participated in the planning process and
will continue to be engaged during implementation.
The data in this plan comply with Xcel Energy’s 15x15 privacy rules that require all data
summary statistics for energy use to contain at least 15 entities, with no single entity
responsible for more than 15 percent of the total. Following these rules, if an entity is
responsible for more than 15 percent of energy use for a summary, it is removed from

that summary. No Xcel Energy electric customers were removed from the baseline data
summaries below.
Baseline Energy Use This section is drawn from data for the years 2014, 2015, and 2016, with the most
recent year serving as a baseline. In 2016, there were 25,973 distinct Xcel Energy
electrical premises in the City of Eden Prairie. Eighty-nine percent of these were
residential premises and 11 percent were commercial and industrial premises. There
are 24,568 natural gas premises, 92 percent of which are residential.2

Overall, residential premises consume about 43 percent of total energy in Eden Prairie
and commercial/industrial premises consume about 57 percent of total energy. While
73 percent of Eden Prairie’s electricity is consumed by commercial/industrial
premises, more than half of natural gas is consumed by the residential sector.
This breakdown is shown in Figure 7 below. A number of factors may contribute to this,
such as the ways in which Eden Prairie’s large commercial and industrial buildings use
energy and the average size of Eden Prairie homes (large houses require more natural
gas to heat).

Figure 8: Eden Prairie greenhouse gas emissions by source and year
Eden Prairie has a solid baseline of participation in Xcel Energy and CenterPoint
Energy conservation programs. Over the past three years, residential participation in
Xcel Energy programs has averaged about 1,450 premises per year, and commercial
participation has averaged about 180 premises per year. Residential participation in
CenterPoint programs was around 1,800 premises in 2015, and 40 premises
participated on the commercial/industrial side. Combined energy savings resulting
from conservation program participation equals an average of 1.3 percent of
electricity use and 0.8 percent of natural gas use each year. Cost savings in 2016
represent about one percent of total dollars spent on energy.

Residential Energy Savings Eden Prairie has seen relatively low rates of participation in residential conservation
programs over the past few years. The average annual participation rate in Xcel
Energy conservation programs between 2014 and 2016 was about 6.5 percent, or
about one in 16 households. Participation in CenterPoint Energy programs in 2015
was 8 percent, or one in 12 households. Participation in conservation programs resulted
in 737,527 kWh (0.4 percent of residential electricity use) and 180,691 therms (1
percent of residential natural gas use) saved in 2016. Additionally, each participating
household saved an average of $80 in energy costs in 2016. Participation was
concentrated in the southern half of the city, with some crossover in areas where energy
use is highest (Figure 13).
Figure 13: Residential conservation program participation 2014-2016
Of those who participated in conservation programs, cooling and heating system
rebates were by far the most popular, followed by Xcel Energy’s Saver’s Switch, a
demand response program (Figure 14 and Figure 15). Heating and cooling system
upgrades are typically performed quickly upon equipment failure or towards the end of
equipment life, and offer significant energy savings. Saver’s Switch is a program
designed to reduce peak electric load and offers a bill credit to customers during
summer months who agree to have their central air conditioning enrolled. The net
savings from the program are negligible. These factors, and the relatively low
penetration of other programs in the residential area, demonstrate high potential for
savings by increasing participation in other programs.

Commercial and Industrial Energy Use The commercial and industrial sector includes all City buildings, some multifamily
buildings, schools and religious facilities, and all kinds of commercial buildings. There
are 2,769 commercial and industrial premises in Eden Prairie, including 182 that belong
to the City.
Commercial and industrial buildings represent 57 percent of Eden Prairie’s overall
energy consumption. The commercial and industrial sector as a whole spent a total of
$61 million on energy in 2016. Municipal facilities account for 3.2 percent of total
commercial and industrial electricity use, and they consumed 18,304,034 kWh in
2016, or the equivalent of more than 2,078 Eden Prairie homes.6
Figure 16: Energy use breakdown for commercial/industrial buildings
Divided into quintiles, the top 20 percent of commercial electricity users — some
583 premises — represent 91 percent of total business electricity use. Three
quarters of commercial and industrial electricity is consumed by the 200 largest users.

has been similar to that of the residential sector, with an average annual electricity
program participation rate of 6.8 percent and a natural gas annual participation
rate of 2 percent over the past three years. In 2016, participation in Xcel Energy
programs totaled 221 premises, with a primary emphasis on lighting replacements and
cooling system upgrades. Forty commercial/industrial customers participated in
CenterPoint Energy programs. Commercial and industrial participation resulted in
6.1 million kWh (equal to 1.1 percent of commercial and industrial energy use)
and 109,300 therms (equal to 0.7 percent of commercial and industrial natural gas
use) saved in 2016. Participation is concentrated in the northeast corner of the city,
which coincides with where the majority of large commercial buildings are located.

Renewable Energy Eden Prairie has made some important strides toward increasing investment in
renewable energy. The Eden Prairie Community Center has a rooftop solar photovoltaic
(PV) system that generates an average of approximately 18,346 kWh per year, and the
school district is currently installing solar systems on all of its buildings. When finished,
these projects will represent a combined 417 kilowatt solar system and account for
approximately 4.5 percent of the district’s electricity use. Pax Christi Catholic
Community, a local congregation, is also building a community solar garden on its roof,
with local residents as the primary subscribers.
Current available data shows at
least 42 rooftop solar installations
in Eden Prairie, with a combined
capacity of close to 400 kW.7
Additionally, 773 households
and four businesses
subscribed to Xcel Energy’s
Windsource® in 2016, with an
average monthly subscription of
244 kWh and representing 0.3
percent of the community’s
residential electricity use. About
two-thirds of residential
Windsource subscribers are
signed up for the minimum of 100
kWh per month. Only three
percent of Eden Prairie
residential subscribers cover all of their electricity with Windsource.

Where Do We Want To Go? — Eden Prairie’s Energy Vision,
Focus Areas and Goals The Eden Prairie Energy Action team sought an energy vision that was short, concise,
and could resonate broadly with community members. The guiding principals represent
shared values and priorities that informed the planning process and will establish a clear
path for implementation.
The Energy Action Team set an ambitious, yet achievable over-arching goal against
which to measure the impact of this plan, and that will help achieve Eden Prairie’s
sustainability vision. This goal establishes a central community priority around reducing
carbon emissions that help accelerate climate change and its impacts, as well as a mid-
point benchmark against which to measure progress. The team chose the goal, in part,
because it aligns with similar goals in other communities and statewide.
Energy Vision Sustainable energy solutions for Eden Prairie
Guiding Principles 1. Encourage energy conservation and increased use of renewable
energy, realizing energy cost savings and reducing our carbon
footprint.
2. Identify solutions that are feasible, data-driven, cost effective, and
produce measurable results.
3. Pursue inclusive engagement among all sectors of our diverse
community.
4. Educate residents, businesses, and nonprofits to inspire an ongoing
change in habits.
5. Support business growth and future economic development.
6. Protect and preserve the environment and natural resources for
future generations.
Community-Wide Energy Goal To reduce energy-related greenhouse gas emissions below
the 2015 baseline 30 percent by 2025 and 80 percent by
2050
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
19
Focus Areas As a starting point, the Energy Action Team identified three areas on which to focus
their priorities during implementation. These areas were chosen both for their potential
impact on energy savings and for their potential impact on building community
engagement.
Focus Area 1: Residential Energy
This focus area includes all Eden Prairie households, both homeowners and renters.
Focus Area 2: Large Commercial and Industrial Buildings
This focus area includes the top 20 percent of commercial energy users.
Focus Area 3: Public, nonprofit, and service organizations
This focus area includes City facilities, school district buildings, religious entities,
nonprofits, private and charter schools, and medical and senior care facilities.
Recognizing that renewable energy generation is a key component of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions, the Energy Action Team chose to integrate renewable
energy goals and actions into all focus areas, rather than call them out under a separate
focus area. The goals were designed to be inclusive of all types of renewable energy
generation, whether or not residents, businesses, and other organizations keep the
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and count them toward meeting the community’s
greenhouse gas reduction goals.
Missing from these focus areas are small and medium-sized businesses. The Energy
Action Team recognized there is a limit on capacity to support implementation of this
plan and that efforts to target businesses were best spent focusing on the largest
energy users, which represent 91 percent of commercial electricity use and have the
most potential for significant energy savings. For the purposes of this plan, it is
assumed that historical participation trends for customers who fit into the small and
medium-sized business category will continue as they have over the 2014-2016
baseline years. Once Eden Prairie has achieved gains in the identified focus areas over
the first one-to-three years of implementation, goals and strategies can be added to
specifically target small and medium-sized businesses. In the meantime, there is the
possibility that actions taken by residents, public and private entities, and large
commercial businesses will have a trickle-down effect and motivate other businesses in
the community to take action.
The following sections outline each of the focus areas, including goals, strategies, and
anticipated impacts. There are active roles for the City of Eden Prairie, the Conservation
Commission and Xcel Energy under all three focus areas. Where relevant, additional
partners are called out to support the strategies outlined under a particular focus area.
More detailed action plan, timelines, and roles and responsibilities for each focus area
can be found in Appendix 7: Implementation Roles and Responsibilities.

Focus Area 1: Residential Energy The strategies laid out in this section have significant potential to generate broad
community engagement and support, in addition to achieving energy savings and
increased renewable energy generation. This priority is reflected in the goal, with
strategies that seek to motivate all community members to take action.
Although Eden Prairie is a community made up of a mix of housing types, the initial
primary target in the residential focus area is homeowners. About half of the
community’s housing units are detached single family homes (Figure 21). The majority
of both single family and multifamily homes were built in the 1980s and 1990s, which
means that many are reaching the age for significant renovations, furnace and air
conditioner upgrades, and appliance replacement (Figure 22). This opens up an
important opportunity to improve energy efficiency.

Figure 22: Age of housing stock in Eden Prairie9
In addition to single family homes, just under a quarter of housing units are in
multifamily buildings, with most in large buildings of 20 or more units. Bringing energy
efficiency to these buildings will require engagement with both building
owners/managers and residents. Leveraging existing City relationships and
engagement channels will be critical in reaching this audience.
Already the 12th largest city in Minnesota, Eden Prairie is expected to witness a 30
percent growth in population between 2015 and 2040.10 Population growth makes
energy efficiency more imperative, as it will generate an increase in demand for energy.
Population growth also provides more opportunities to target new residential
construction and ensure that those new houses are both energy efficient and renewable
ready.
One of the Energy Action Team’s top priorities was to ensure that low-income residents
were included in this plan. The median income of $97,640 is about 60 percent higher
than the rest of the state, and only about 5 percent of Eden Prairie households are living
in poverty. However, when you look at households that would potentially meet the
eligibility threshold for low-income energy programs (defined as 50 percent of state
median income), an estimated 12 percent would be covered under this definition (about
3,000 households).

Figure 23: Distribution of households with incomes at or below 50 percent of state median income
Figure 23 shows where households below 50 percent of the state median income are
concentrated. The majority are in the northeast corner of the city, the area with the
lowest rate of conservation program participation (see Figure 13). Outreach efforts
targeting low-income households should concentrate in these areas and be inclusive of
both single family homes and multifamily buildings.
Residential Energy Goal Eden Prairie set the following residential energy goal:
By 2025, 75 percent of Eden Prairie households will participate in a
renewable energy or energy efficiency program.
The table below outlines a set of strategies and targets to achieve the residential energy
goal. Implementing these strategies — and ultimately achieving this goal — will require
active collaboration between City staff from many different departments, members of
the Conservation Commission, other commissions, and the City Council. Community
organizations, congregations, and other social networks will also play an important role
in engaging community members and motivating action.
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN

community solar gardens and rooftop solar
Strategy 2: Engage residents through a community-wide energy challenge
Actions:
Apply lessons learned from other Partners in Energy communities and from the
Mayor’s Water Challenge to design an effective energy challenge.
Encourage Eden Prairie residents to participate and develop a campaign to
publicly recognize households that choose to participate.
Mobilize City Council and the Conservation Commission to support the challenge
and engage the community in participating.
Strategy 3: Energy savings in multifamily buildings
Actions:
Build partnerships with multifamily property management companies to
implement efficiency improvements in resident units and common spaces.
Engage City officials already doing outreach to multifamily buildings in promoting
energy efficiency.
o Work with the Housing and Community Services Division to share energy
efficiency information with property managers/building owners.
Target all low-income multifamily buildings in Eden Prairie for in-unit energy
efficiency upgrades, with the goal of at least one building participating in the first
year.
City and Conservation Commission to co-host events highlighting the benefits of
energy efficiency, as well as program options for multifamily building
owners/managers and residents
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
24
Strategy 4: Increase energy efficiency and renewable energy in new construction and renovations
Actions:
Leverage the existing Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program to support low- and
moderate-income homeowners in making energy efficiency improvements.
Research best practice policy options for increasing energy efficiency and
renewable energy in new construction and renovation.
Implement an energy efficiency requirement based on the best policy option for
Eden Prairie.
Implement renewable-ready policies that apply to residential buildings.
Include information about Xcel Energy program offerings with all residential
building permit requests and new resident welcome packets.
Measuring Success The success of these strategies will be measured in a number of ways, including
tracking:
Annual participation in Xcel Energy conservation programs.
Annual participation in Windsource and Renewable*Connect.
On-site solar installations through City permit data.
City dollars spent on Home Energy Squad buy downs.
Number of participants in community-wide energy challenge.
Number of multifamily property owners/renters who attend informational
meetings about energy efficiency.
Additional Partners There are a few additional partners who will be key to supporting the strategies laid out
in this section, including:
Eden Prairie Community Foundation, to help support bringing energy efficiency
to low-income homes.
The Building Inspections Division, to integrate energy efficiency into inspections.
Local nonprofits, including People Reaching Out to People (PROP) and Eden
Prairie Community Foundation, to support outreach to low-income homes.
The Human Rights and Diversity Commission to provide support for outreach to
low-income residents.
Impacts
To achieve the residential energy goal, 17,403 households need to take energy action
by 2025. Figure 24 shows the path toward achieving this goal through residential
conservation program participation. The combined target for residential conservation
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
25
program participation is 1,374 total actions in the first year of implementation, an
increase of 322 over the baseline year. This is in addition to maintaining a slight
increase in current participation in CenterPoint Energy residential programs, for a total
of 1,488 households taking part each year in natural gas appliance rebates and other
programs through 2025.
Specific program participation targets include 200 Home Energy Squad visits, with an
emphasis on ‘Enhanced’ visits that include an energy audit, and free services to 75 low-
income homes. Priority actions for the first year of implementation also include
promoting appliance rebates and improving energy efficiency in at least one multifamily
building.
Figure 24: Residential conservation program participation targets 2018-202511
Achieving the goals and targets outlined here will lead to a seven percent overall
reduction in residential energy use below a 2016 baseline by 2025 (Figure 25). In the
first year of implementation, these combined goals and strategies will save an estimated
1,041,201 kWh and 189,057 therms, an incremental increase of 9 percent over historic
average energy savings for the community. Additionally, increased participation in Xcel
Energy residential programs could save each participating household an estimated
$120 annually or $10 each month on their electricity bill.

Focus Area 2: Large Commercial and Industrial Buildings Large commercial and industrial buildings represent the 20 percent of commercial
energy users, about 500 premises. These customers consumed 47 percent of the
community’s total energy use in 2016 and represent the greatest opportunity for
significant improvement in energy efficiency.
Eden Prairie 2016 assessing data shows there are 640 commercial/industrial buildings
in the community. Like most of the homes in the community, the majority of
commercial/industrial buildings were constructed between the 1970’s and 1990s (Figure
27). This indicates that many buildings are likely looking at heating, cooling, and other
equipment replacement as the original systems reach the end of their expected life, and
this represents an important key moment for improving efficiency.
Figure 27: Eden Prairie commercial/industrial buildings by decade built12
Figure 28 shows that most of the commercial/industrial square footage is concentrated
within the 200 largest buildings. While energy use does depends on what type of activity
goes on in a building, there is often a strong relationship between building size and
energy use so these are likely to be among the greatest commercial energy users.

Large Commercial/Industrial Energy Users Goal Eden Prairie set the following goal for its large commercial/industrial energy users:
By 2025, 50 percent of the largest commercial/industrial energy users
participate in Xcel Energy conservation programs over a standard three-
year measuring period. This will result in an additional 7.5 incremental
participants per year.
The strategies outlined below will make a significant contribution toward reducing
energy-related greenhouse gas emissions and will also help achieve broader
engagement of the business community in supporting Eden Prairie’s sustainability
vision. Achieving the above goal will require direct involvement of both City staff and
leadership, with the goal of building connections and long-term relationships with
business leaders.

Focus Area 3: Public, Nonprofit, and Service Organizations Public, nonprofit, and service organizations represent a broad category that includes
City facilities, school district buildings, religious institutions, nonprofits, private and
charter schools, and medical and senior care facilities. There are about 300 premises
that fall into this category, including 182 premises that belong to the City. Public and
private entities consumed about five percent of the community’s total energy use in
2016, and a total of 49 of these facilities, or about 16 percent, have participated in one
or more conservation programs in the past three years.
This focus area was chosen in part for potential energy savings, and in part because it
includes key community leaders — the City of Eden Prairie and the Eden Prairie School
District — that can serve as examples to motivate others to take action.
This focus area also includes strategies and actions targeting religious congregations.
Eden Prairie faith communities own some of the largest buildings in the community, with
great potential for reducing energy use. Faith communities also value caring for both
people and the environment, and they have great potential for engaging members in
supporting the goals laid out in this plan. Engaging students in energy action also
represents an important opportunity for building broad community support while also
integrating education around energy. Student environmental groups will be key partners
in motivating peers through district-wide behavior change campaigns.
Public, Nonprofit, and Service Organizations Goals Eden Prairie set the following goals for the City, school district, and other public and
nonprofit entities in the community:
By 2025, Eden Prairie public, nonprofit, and service organizations will reduce energy use 20 percent below a 2016 baseline.
By 2025, the City of Eden Prairie will support renewable energy development equal to 25 percent of its energy use.
By 2025, the Eden Prairie School District will reduce its energy use by an additional 10 percent.
By 2025, all Eden Prairie public, nonprofit, and service organizations will support renewable energy development equal to 10 percent of their energy use.
These goals represent ambitious targets for both energy use reduction and increased
investment in renewable energy. The strategies outlined below include efforts to
demonstrate leadership by highlighting actions taken, with an emphasis on showing the
community that public and private entities are good stewards of public dollars by saving
on energy costs and supporting long-term environmental goals.
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
35
Public, Nonprofit, and Service Organizations Strategies
Strategy 1: Recognize leadership among public, nonprofit, and service organizations who take action as a way to encourage others.

Showcase the City and school district as leaders in saving energy and investing
in renewables in their own buildings through case studies and newsletter articles.
Develop case studies of completed energy projects implemented by churches,
schools, and nonprofits in the community.
Strategy 2: Provide targeted information and support to public, nonprofit, and service organizations to encourage energy and cost savings.
Actions:
Build partnerships with creation care/green committees within local
congregations to learn about existing efforts and identify needs for additional
support or information.
Host three lunch-and-learn events for facility managers and others from faith
communities and nonprofits to share conservation program options and case
study examples.
Promote key programs with return on investment (ROI) estimates that are most
relevant to public, nonprofit, and service organizations, including:
Energy audits/studies, particularly turnkey and recommissioning,
Lighting programs, and
Heating, cooling, and foodservice equipment rebates.
Follow up to encourage action, with focused support on already-planned
maintenance.
Create a tool kit to help public, nonprofit, and service organizations set their own
long-term energy conservation goals.
Strategy 3: Promote renewable energy options to Eden Prairie public, nonprofit, and
service organizations.
Actions:
Survey public, nonprofit, and service organizations to determine the number of
existing renewable energy installations and gauge interest in renewable energy.
Develop targeted information materials describing renewable subscription and
on-site installation options available to public, nonprofit, and service
organizations.
Develop a cost/ROI comparison tool that includes criteria for evaluating
renewable energy options.
Focus one lunch-and-learn event on renewable energy program and financing
options.
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
36
Strategy 4: Pursue on-site renewable energy on City buildings.
Actions:
Identify City buildings that are good candidates for on-site solar.
Research available contract and financing options and develop a proposal for
consideration by City Council.
Complete at least one on-site install within three years.
Strategy 5: Capture additional energy savings at Eden Prairie schools by engaging
students and teachers in energy conservation.
Actions:
Identify school principals willing to show leadership in energy conservation.
Work with principals to recruit teachers to lead behavior change campaigns
within their schools.
Develop lesson plans and marketing materials targeting actions that students
and teachers can take to save energy at school.
Provide recognition for schools that successfully conserve energy through
behavior change.
Measuring Success The success of these strategies will be measured in a number of ways, including
tracking:
Savings achieved through participation in conservation programs.
Subscriptions to Windsource and Renewable*Connect by public, nonprofit, and
service organizations.
On-site renewable energy installations and energy generation capacity.
Number of participants in lunch-and-learn events.

Community volunteers to play a key role in outreach to faith communities and
nonprofits.
Impacts
The goals and targets outlined here approximately double current annual conservation
program participation, maintaining a count of 46 electricity actions taken and four
natural gas actions taken each year through 2025. The primary focus of actions taken is
on lighting efficiency upgrades and heating and cooling efficiency improvements, as well
as an emphasis on energy assessments through Turn Key Services and building
recommissioning to identify additional energy saving opportunities.
Figure 33: Conservation program participation targets 2018-202516
Achieving the goals for public, nonprofit, and service organizations will lead to an overall
20 percent reduction in public and private entity energy use by 2025. In the first year,
these combined goals and strategies are estimated to save 1,184,871 kWh and 39,035
therms. Additionally, increased participation in Xcel Energy programs could save an
estimated $1.2 million in energy costs over the next seven years.

Figure 34: Projected reduction in public, nonprofit, and service organization energy use as compared to 2016 baseline
Achieving the renewable energy goals for this focus area will require supporting a total
of 7.24 kWh of renewable energy development — 3.8 million kWh to cover 25 percent of
City energy use and 3.4 million kWh to cover 10 percent of energy use for other public,
nonprofit, and service organizations. This investment can take the form of renewable
subscriptions through Windsource, Renewable*Connect®, or community solar gardens,
or through direct investment in on-site solar installations on City and other buildings.

Combined Impact of Energy Action Plan The combined goals and strategies outlined in this plan set Eden Prairie firmly on its
path to achieve 30 percent greenhouse gas emissions reductions by 2025 and 80
percent reductions by 2050.
Figure 35: Comparison of energy savings to historic averages
By 2025, Eden Prairie’s energy goals will achieve an estimated 9.4 percent reduction in
energy use below a 2016 baseline. The result will be an additional estimated 17.3
million kWh and 791,000 therms saved over historic averages over the next seven
years. This is an incremental increase of approximately 19 percent above averages
based on historic savings.

Figure 36: Incremental impact of combined goals and strategies in 2018 and 2025
As shown in Figure 37, the greatest impact on energy savings will come from actions
taken by large commercial/industrial businesses. Residential actions will have an
additional lasting impact, as they continue to generate long-term savings. As stated
previously, it is assumed that small and medium-sized businesses not specifically
targeted in this plan will continue participating in energy conservation programs at the
same rate, leading to modest savings over the long term.

Figure 37: Combined focus area impact
The combined goals and strategies put Eden Prairie on track to achieve its greenhouse
gas emissions reduction goals. Figure 38 shows anticipated growth in emissions from
increased energy demand over time (business-as-usual or “BAU” growth), under the
assumption that energy generation continues emitting carbon at current levels. This is
then mitigated by grid decarbonization, which represents projected efforts made by
Xcel Energy to increase renewable energy generation. Grid decarbonization alone will
reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45 percent by 2050. In addition to grid
decarbonization, Eden Prairie’s combined energy conservation efforts will result in an
additional 30 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions below a 2015 baseline by
2050, if investments made in renewable energy by the City and other public, nonprofit,
and service organizations allow them to keep the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).
In that case, the result is a combined reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 30
percent below a 2015 baseline by 2025 and a 68 percent reduction by 2050. Additional
investment in renewable energy, as well as increased adoption of electric vehicles, will
be required to achieve the goal of an 80 percent reduction in emissions by 2050.

Figure 38: Impact of combined goals and strategies on greenhouse gas emissions
Plan Implementation The process to develop this Energy Action Plan represents a first step and identifies
initial actions the community can take to work toward its carbon emission reduction
goals. Once the plan has been approved by the City Council, the City and Xcel Energy
will lay out a detailed implementation plan covering the first 18 months. During this time,
the City, the Conservation Commission, and the Energy Action Team will play key roles
in ensuring the action plan moves forward. Xcel Energy will support the first 18 months
of implementation with project management, technical expertise, marketing resources,
and progress tracking.
In addition to the strategies listed under each focus area, there are three main
community-wide strategies that will support achievement of the goals laid out in this
Energy Action Plan:
Continue to utilize the Sustainable Eden Prairie Award program to recognize
business, resident, and organizational leadership in energy efficiency and
renewables.
Engage City leadership and all City commissions in supporting implementation of
the Energy Action Plan.
Identify opportunities to recruit community volunteers to support plan
implementation.

Community Engagement A key goal for entering into the Partners in Energy planning process was to identify
opportunities to broaden community engagement. There are many opportunities for
community members to support this Energy Action Plan, including:
Taking energy conservation and renewable energy action in their own homes.
Reaching out to friends, neighbors, and other social networks to encourage them
to take action.
Using social media to supporting the community-wide marketing campaign and
energy challenge.
Engaging faith communities to implement energy efficiency and renewable
energy projects on church facilities.
Encouraging schools to take part in energy conservation.
Organizing office ‘green teams’ and encouraging company leadership to take
action, for those residents who also work in Eden Prairie.
Volunteering to assist with tabling and outreach at community events.
Community members interested in volunteering to support plan implementation should
contact Marisa Bayer, Community Development Coordinator, at
Operational Actions and Tracking The City and Energy Action Team will review bi-annual reports of identified metrics to
assess progress toward achieving goals, which will determine whether a change in
course is necessary. The Energy Action Team may decide to revise goals, update
strategies, or add new strategies based on implementation progress as needed. Bi-
annual reports will be posted on the City website and available for public review.
Conclusion With this Energy Action Plan, Eden Prairie is demonstrating its firm and ongoing
commitment to sustainability and improving the quality of life for its residents as well as
economic conditions for its businesses. Eden Prairie will continue to demonstrate
leadership in these efforts and seek out opportunities to broaden carbon reduction
impacts in the future as new technologies develop. In particular, growth in use of electric
vehicles presents an opportunity for significant environmental benefits, as well as a new
challenge for meeting increased electricity demand. Additionally, accomplishing its 2050
greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal will require additional investment in
renewable energy, so the City and Conservation Commission will look for ways to
continue demonstrating leadership in this area.
Implementation of this plan will dovetail with the City’s other sustainability areas of focus
in several ways. For example, organics recycling is currently under heavy discussion,
and this can become a source of renewable energy generation by utilizing biodigestors.
As an another example, efforts to increase tree canopy through tree planting and to
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
46
replace turf with native plants can help offset carbon emissions and push Eden Prairie
even closer to its long-term greenhouse gas goals. The City and Conservation
Commission, along with residents and businesses, will work together to move these and
other sustainability efforts forward.

management, and professional jobs make up about a third of the workforce, the service,
retail, and manufacturing sectors are also large employers. In 2016, the largest area of
employment was in professional and technical services, with 25 percent of employees
working within that sector. Manufacturing was the second largest employer with 13
percent of the workforce. Combined, retail and wholesale trades account for 18 percent
of jobs, while finance and insurance, along with management of companies and
enterprise, account for 12 percent of Eden Prairie jobs.23
As Eden Prairie also has highly visible medical centers and schools, it is not surprising
that health care and education are large employers. Health care and social assistance
account for 5 percent of jobs, and jobs in educational services make up 4 percent of the
workforce.
Eden Prairie also has some very large buildings to go along with its large businesses
and employers. These buildings are a mix of large commercial, corporate offices,
schools, churches, and industrial buildings. Only one of these larger buildings, Central

At least 86 percent of adults in Eden Prairie have earned at least a high school diploma.
Sixty percent of adult residents have bachelor’s degrees and 22 percent of adult
residents have graduate degrees.26 This is more than twice the average college
education rate for the state as a whole.
Housing
Currently, 31 percent of the land in Eden Prairie is residential, mostly consisting of low-
density residential housing. In 2016, there were 25,715 housing units in Eden Prairie.27
About 73 percent of those were owner-occupied, and 27 percent were renter
occupied.28 Eden Prairie housing stock is relatively new, with the majority of the housing
stock being erected in the 1980s. In fact, over 60 percent of the current housing stock
was constructed between 1980 and 1999.29 The median home value is $303,600, which
is higher than the average for the Twin Cities region. Median rent is $1,182, which is
also higher than the Twin Cities average.30
Most Eden Prairie homes, both single family homes and multifamily units, are heated
using natural gas, though 15 percent of homes are heated using electricity.31 A small
portion of homes (just over 1 percent) are heated using propane.
Local Outreach and Communication Channels Engaging the community is critical to reaching Energy Action Plan goals. Below are some of the ways that residents and businesses currently receive information. These communication channels will be helpful during implementation efforts.

Appendix 4: Prior and Existing Sustainability Initiatives Below is a detailed summary of Eden Prairie’s prior and existing sustainability initiatives.
Conservation Commission
Eden Prairie’s Conservation Commission was established to provide guidance and act
as an advisor to Eden Prairie sustainability and conservation efforts including the 20-40-
15 Initiative. The commission consists of Eden Prairie residents as well as student
members who serve during the school year. The Conservation Commission is also
tasked with educating the public about Sustainable Eden Prairie programs and
recommending additional initiatives for the City to undertake.
20-40-15
One of Eden Prairie’s first steps towards sustainability was in 2006, when they launched
the 20-40-15 initiative. This initiative was aimed at increasing energy efficiency in the
City’s vehicle fleet and facilities. Strategies for the vehicle fleet included reducing the
number of City vehicles and purchasing fuel efficient and hybrid vehicles. Strategies for
City facilities included:
Lighting replacements,
HVAC system replacements,
Solar panels installed at Community Center,
Additional insulation when re-roofing City buildings, and
Ice rink efficiency improvements.
The City’s efforts were overwhelmingly successful, with the initiative surpassing its
goals in each area. The goals were to reduce increase fuel efficiency in the City’s
vehicle fleet by 40 percent and increase energy efficiency in City facilities by 20 percent
by the year 2015. The final report showed improvements for the vehicle fleet and City
buildings to be 44.4 percent and 21.8 percent, respectively. The City hopes to capitalize
on the immense success of the initiative through the newly launched Sustainable Eden
Prairie.
Sustainable Eden Prairie
Sustainable Eden Prairie is an ongoing effort focusing on education and implementation
of sustainable practices to protect the environment and natural resources that
community members in Eden Prairie enjoy. The City plans to lead by example,
providing a foundation for residents and businesses to carry out sustainable practices in
energy, landscape, waste, and water. To engage residents, the City offers regular
updates on sustainability actions and tips through its various communication channels.
While the City has a great amount of experience in energy conservation with its own
internal practices through the 20-40-15 initiative, Eden Prairie hopes to capitalize on the
guidance from the Partners in Energy planning process to broaden its engagement
beyond City staff and operations. Partners in Energy will provide information on best
practices that Eden Prairie can mobilize to broaden its scope.
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
GreenStep Cities
The City of Eden Prairie is one of the highest achieving communities involved in the
statewide GreenStep Cities program. Eden Prairie joined in 2011 and in June 2017
became one of the first communities to achieve Step 5 status, the highest status in the
state, which recognizes improvement in measurements of sustainability. Eden Prairie
has completed 55 best practices established by the program, covering the five central
areas of buildings and lighting, land use, transportation, environmental management,
and economic and community development. Many of the best practice areas are aimed
at lowering energy consumption. Partners in Energy will work in tandem with these best
practice areas.
Comprehensive Plan
The City is in the process of updating its comprehensive plan known as Aspire Eden
Prairie 2040. The City will
incorporate resiliency throughout the
comprehensive plan, understanding
that resiliency and sustainability are
important to all aspects of the plan
(e.g. housing, transportation,
economic development). The
Energy Action Plan will be
referenced in the comprehensive
plan as it relates to solar and other
renewable energy efforts.
LoGoPEP
Eden Prairie is also participating in
the Local Government Project for
Energy Planning, or LoGoPEP. LoGoPEP is designed to build upon existing efforts to
engage local governments in committing to actionable strategies for energy and
greenhouse gas emission reductions. LoGoPEP will provide communities with planning
tools and actual results to measure progress toward their goals. This project is being
developed at the Twin Cities metropolitan regional scale with the goal of future
replicability and institutionalization throughout the state. The goal of the project is to
support the integration of energy plans into the comprehensive planning process for
Twin Cities metropolitan area cities.
Climate Mayors
In June 2017 Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens joined the Climate Mayors — also known as
Mayors National Climate Action Agenda — a network of more than 300 U.S. mayors
representing more than 62 million Americans.32

EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
Climate Mayors is a coalition of mayors working together to strengthen local efforts for
reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Climate Mayor’s commitment intends to build
upon Eden Prairie’s existing sustainability efforts and help the community continue to
lead by example through initiatives such as Sustainable Eden Prairie and its adoption of
this Energy Action Plan. This Energy Action Plan intends to connect Eden Prairie’s
energy savings goals with its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas use across the
community.
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
Appendix 5: The Planning Process Eden Prairie’s Energy Action Team convened for a series of five workshops dedicated
to creating an Energy Action Plan, starting in March and concluding in July 2017. Team
members were expected to bring their own experiences and expertise as community
members to the table to assess data and community needs and create actionable items
and strategies for the plan. Each of the five workshops is summarized briefly below.
Workshop 1
The purpose of the first Partners in Energy workshop is to establish a baseline upon
which to build a successful plan. During this workshop, the Energy Action Team was
given an overview of the data and the planning process, and they began contributing
their experiences and perspectives on energy and the community to begin creating a
customized plan tailored to the its strengths and needs. Community facilitators
presented the planning team with baseline data for both the community’s electric use,
as well as data summarizing the makeup of the community including demographics,
housing, and economic data. The planning team had the opportunity to contribute their
own ideas of what makes up Eden Prairie’s values and assets, who are the key
stakeholders, and what are the most vital communication channels for community
members. The Energy Action Team also began forming a vision and set of principles
that would help shape the planning process in the future.
Participants at Workshop 1 at Eden Prairie City Hall
Workshop 2
During workshop 2, the planning team worked to get a better idea of what the plan
would look like in the future. The team first worked to refine the vision and principles to
guide the plan, then established three focus areas for targeted efforts within the plan:
Eden Prairie residents, large commercial and industrial users, and public, nonprofit, and
service organizations. These areas are further defined in the Focus Area section of this
plan. In order to create more informed strategies, Yvonne Pfeifer, Xcel Energy’s
Community Energy Efficiency Manager, gave an overview of Xcel Energy’s programs
and Audrey Partridge, CenterPoint Energy’s Local Energy Policy Manager, gave an
EDEN PRAIRIE ENERGY ACTION PLAN
overview of CenterPoint Energy’s conservation program options. The planning team
broke out into small groups for each focus area, based on team members’ expertise and
interests. With Xcel Energy program information in mind, the breakout groups began
designing strategies to be refined at later workshops.
Workshop 3
Workshop 3 was focused on setting goals, both for individual focus areas and for the
overall plan and community. The planning team saw examples of goals from other
Partners in Energy communities and looked at potential goal scenario options. Next, the
team broke up into the focus area groups established during the previous workshop to
create goal proposals for each individual focus area. After setting draft goals for each
focus area, the small groups were asked to revisit those goals to assess the potential
impact of each of the proposed goals on energy use and feasibility. This activity was
intended to help small groups prioritize goals that would have the most impact and be
the easiest to implement. Finally, the group came back together to propose revised
community-wide goals to incorporate in the plan.
Workshop 4
The purpose of planning workshop 4 was to further refine to goals and strategies for
each focus area and for the group as a whole. Prior to workshop 4, community
facilitators took the goals proposed during workshop 3 and mapped out the impact
those goals could have on community-wide energy use. With knowledge of the impact
of community-wide and focus area goals, the small groups convened to review goals
and strategies, including specifics about target audiences and communication methods.
To aid the group’s ability to assess the effectiveness of different strategies and tactics,
community facilitators presented a brief overview of the importance of community-based
social marketing. Yvonne Pfeifer also gave an overview of Renewable Energy Credits,
or RECs, and their impact on carbon savings and renewable energy goals.
Workshop 5
Planning workshop 5 served as the final opportunity for the Energy Action Team to
discuss and refine goals and strategies and select its community-wide target. The group
began by reviewing the planning process so far and discussing how it has shaped the
draft Energy Action Plan. Facilitators presented impact modeling results, and the group
assessed whether the appropriate level of ambition was achieved. The team then
returned to its small groups to refine strategies and discuss roles and responsibilities
related to implementation. The group discussed the timeline for plan review and
approval and next steps for implementation launch. The meeting concluded with an
analysis of the plan’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, with an
emphasis on mitigating areas that could reduce the overall impact of the plan.
