CITY OF OAK PARK HEIG —W E NO for: Jully),Vtk,2019 TO: City uncil mbers& �q FROM: E ' Johnso City A is r Zonina&Development Items: 1. The City has received no new applications this past ek. e' Other Items: • An agreement was reached with Bell's Trucking to m v e City's Monument Sign-$5,000.1 concur that this seem a bit high,however they are a local firm,have performed work for the City on several occasions and done a fine job—and—of the three crane companies I contacted, only one was responsive and their estimate was$3500 for the crane, however the City had to construct and install a level base for their equipment which would have exceeded this$5,000.The installation is required to be done by 7/31. It is a 10,000-pound rock, being moved down a slope so not a simple job.I have enclosed the Agreement • The City had to reject a proposed use of Autumn Hills Park Shelter by a person who wished to use it to host fitness classes.While such uses are welcome in the Park as a whole, the rental of the structure for profit is not permitted.The person is affiliated with the School District, however,it was NOT a school sanctioned event.See the enclosed letter. • The City did submit the required elements and data to the State of Minnesota office of Management and Budget for possible consideration in the 2020 Bonding Bill. I have excerpted the City submission and the entire listing of requests made to the State—being$1.3 billion. It was vital that the City be initially included in this documentation as it looks to the 2020 Legislative Session and any planned tours,they Legislature may hold. • On a related note to this, as the City begins down the 2020 Legislative path AND as it begins to re-engage Xcel Energy over its valuation process it may be valuable to hold a Worksession with the City consultants who have guided the City on these matters—namely Ann Lenczewski and Shane Zahrt(from the Coalition group). Possibly at the end of August. In the interim, Staff is attempting to engage Xcel Energy on the actual values they have received from the Dept of Revenue for payable in 2020. We expect Xcel Energy will appeal these figures and will cause some disruption in the City's Budget process relative to tax capacity and how it impacts rates. More updates will be discussed at the Council Budget Workshop on 7/23. • If you would like to attend the event for the Installation of the new Warden at—MCF-Stillwater on 8/19,please see the enclosed information and RSVP as mentioned.

The Project includes a roundabout and all roads will be maintained by the City. The Project estimate is $2.23 Million. Project Description Project Description: The Project seeks to shift to the south STH 36 Frontage Road (60th Street) approximately 300' southwardly and install a roundabout as the main point of connection through Norell Ave. supplanting the current location which experiences significant issues and safety issues as it is too close to the mainline STH 36. The relocation will improve safety, facilitate easier turning movements, reduce congestion and allow for some additional stacking of vehicles as these move northbound to STH 36. To undertake this Project, the City Engineer has provided a cost estimate of $2,032,783. However some additional Right-of Way may be necessary adding an additional $200,000 to such costs, bringing the total estimate to $2,232,783. It should be noted that the City already controls much of the necessary right-of-way, either in fee- ownership or in signed roadway easement. Walmart did provide to the City -for$1.00 - a substantial and VITAL roadway easement for this Project, but should this Project not proceed - such easement will be lost. To fund this necessary Project, the City has secured a grant of$644,000 from the MNDOT- Municipal Agreement Program. This $644,000 must be encumbered not later than 2021. The City of Oak Park Heights has also committed $794,392 to the Project; leaving a unfunded GAP of$794,392 and is the request herein. TOTAL Project Cost: $2,232,783 Request- State Bond 2020 $794,392 (rounded) City: $ 794,392 (rounded) MNDOT: $ 644,000 With the final funding of$794,392 , the City will be able to utilize the $644,000 from MNDOT as well as the easements generously provided. All of which will improve safety and mobility for the greater State of Minnesota Preliminary Capital Budget Requests July 2019 Page 627 10 of 49 community and the Project will be undertaken promptly in 2021. Project Rationale The rationale to complete this Project is threefold: 1. To Address Safety: Due to the number and severity of crashes, this intersection is in need of improvements. The intersection of 60th Street N & Norell Avenue well exceeds the critical CRASH RATE and SEVERITY RATE for similar intersections. The Crash Rate for this intersection is 1.76 compared to a .18 average for similar intersection. Being above .42 is considered "critical'. In terms of Crash Severity, this intersection is at 2.53 compared to an average of.27. being above .50 is considered "critical'. The predominant crash types are - Right Angle (41.7°/x), Read End (33.3°/x), and Sideswipe Passing (16.7%). The high frequency of crashes at this intersection is attributed to the roadway design and the close proximity to the TH-36 & Norell Avenue N intersection. The Project is expected to significantly improve these conditions. NOTE. Crash Rate: Number of crashes per million vehicle miles traveled (for a roadway segment) or per million vehicles entering an intersection. Severity Rate: Severity Rate is a linearly weighted ranking system for the crashes (i.e. K=S, A=4, B=3, etc.)( K=Fatality,A=Incapacitating Injury, B=Non-Incapacitating Injury) 2. To Address Congestion As this intersection is a locus of significant delays for the community and which also relates to the safety concerns. Based on completed Traffic Studies, the Level of Service for the intersection at 60th Street and Norell Ave. is generally at a grade of "F" — or very poor and likely to worsen as traffic increases along STH 36. The intersection experiences tremendous delays and back-ups due to increasing volumes on all roads. The Project is expected to significantly improve these conditions. 3. To Maintain Access & Foster Economic Development. This intersection serves a number of retailers that generate high-volumes of traffic - including Walmart, Menards, Kohls and Lowes as well as a number of other smaller retailers. Should traffic congestion continue to worsen, it is possible that these large and small retailers might view this location as no-longer viable for their business model. Further, there remains some vacant land in this vincinity that must plan on sending their potential customers through this area if development occurs. However if the intersction and areas are already at capacity and/or unsafe, investors in this property for new enterprises or redevelopment would likely be stymied. Project Timeline Project Timeline: Depending on funding timelines, the City would expect to fully construct and complete the proposed Project in 2021. As follows is the PROPOSED PROJECT SCHEDULE—Assuming Funding is known in Spring 2020. NOTE: The City would need to comply with Any Bonding Requirements and MNDOT Municipal Agreement Requirements.

However, the Project would become the responsibility of the City to operate and maintain in perpetuity and would reduce future State costs (direct and indirect). Who will own the facility? The City of Oak Park Heights will be assuming these areas and roads FROM the State of Minnesota, reducing the State's long-term maintenance obligations. Who will operate the facility? The City of Oak Park Heights will operate the facility in perpetuity. Who will use or occupy the facility? The"users" of this facility are from the regional area and NOT simply Oak Park Heights residents. Rather, this area severs as an economic/ retail hub for eastern Washington County and eastern St. Croix County (WI). Public Purpose State of Minnesota Preliminary Capital Budget Requests July 2019 Page 629 12 of 49 The public purpose of this Project is to enhance safety, reduce congestion and improve access. Description of Previous Appropriations The City has received a "Municipal Agreement Grant"from MNDOT for$644,000 and which is being applied to this Project. These funds expire in 2021.

WELCOME AND AGENDA OVERVIEW Neil Ralston opened the meeting and welcomed the attendees to the kickoff meeting of the Joint Airport Zoning Board (JAZB) for Lake Elmo Airport. Mr. Ralston stated that he would lead the meeting until the Board selected its Chairperson. 2. BOARD MEMBER INTRODUCTIONS Mr. Ralston explained that the Board is made up of members from Baytown Township, City of Lake Elmo, City of Oak Park Heights, West Lakeland Township, and the Metropolitan Airports Commission. Each municipal government is entitled to have two primary members on the Board, along with two alternate members who can vote in the absence of a primary member. Mr. Ralston requested that the Board members introduce themselves and state which municipal government they represent, noting if they are a primary member or an alternate. 3. JAZB OVERVIEW Mr. Ralston provided explanations of commonly used acronyms that would be used during the JAZB meetings. Mr. Ralston highlighted the JAZB's purpose to collaboratively develop 31 of 49 Lake Elmo Airport Joint Airport Zoning Board Page 2 June 25, 2019 an airport zoning ordinance that achieves a balance between providing for a reasonable level of safety while allowing for compatible community development. 4. SELECTION OF CHAIRPERSON Mr. Ralston explained that the method of selection of a Chair is set out in State Statute. He or she must be someone in addition to the Board members, and not one of the members or alternates appointed by the municipalities or the MAC. Mr. Ralston cited an understanding that Baytown Township had a representative that they would like to nominate. Kent Grandlienard, Baytown Township, confirmed they would like to nominate Rick Weyrauch of Baytown Township. Mr. Weyrauch accepted the nomination. Dave Schultz, West Lakeland Township, nominated Sue Dunn. Mr. Schultz stated his understanding that the nominee must be someone in addition to a Board member, not someone who is on the Board. Mr.Weyrauch confirmed that he would vacate his seat as a Board member if elected Chair. Mr. Schultz affirmed his nomination of Sue Dunn. Mr. Ralston asked if Ms. Dunn was present to accept the nomination. Ann Bucheck, a citizen of Lake Elmo, stated that Sue had an emergency but did plan to be at the meeting. The selection of the JAZB Chair was tabled until later in the meeting. 5. ORGANIZATIONAL LOGISTICS Mr. Ralston presented recommendations for organizational logistics for the JAZB meetings. Mr. Ralston suggested using Robert's Rules of Order to guide meeting protocols. Mr. Ralston defined a quorum as having a majority of JAZB membership in attendance to take action, meaning that six members, including alternates, must be present to take any formal actions. Formal actions will require a majority vote of the members voting to pass or fail. Mr. Ralston called for a motion to adopt Robert's Rules of Order. IT WAS MOVED BY MICHAEL MADIGAN, SECONDED BY JUSTIN BLOYER, TO ADOPT ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER. THE MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. 6. GOALS FOR THE LAKE ELMO JAZB Mr. Ralston stated that the overarching goal for the JAZB is to develop an airport zoning ordinance for review and approval by the MnDOT Commissioner of Transportation for subsequent adoption by the Board and then local communities. 32 of 49 Lake Elmo Airport Joint Airport Zoning Board Page 3 June 25, 2019 To accomplish this,the JAZB could consider a few sub-goals. First,the Board should keep in mind that this is a balancing act between providing a reasonable level of safety while allawina for compatible communitv development. The Board should also ensure that the ordinance is developed in a manner that includes meaningful stakeholder engagement. 7. SUMMARY OF NEW STATE AIRPORT ZONING STATUTE Mr. Ralston stated that there is are updated state airport zoning statutes that will become effective on August 1, 2019. Mr. Ralston then referred to the agenda packet, which included a summary of the key changes that have been made to the statutes. Mr. Ralston provided an overview of the key changes and cited a change in the flexibility to enact airport zoning. The JAZB will be able to choose to either adopt a zonina ordinance that conforms to the Commissioner's Standard or to create a Custom Standard ordinance. 8. INITIAL MEETING PLAN Mr. Ralston proposed that the next meeting focus on a work session getting into the details of the two airport zoning pathways, Custom Standard and Commissioner's Standard. The desired outcome from the second meeting would be a decision about which airport zoning standard the JAZB desires to pursue. The content of the third meeting would be based on the JAZB's decision. If the JAZB selects the Custom Standard, the third meeting would focus on a review of the custom zoning factors and developing a methodology for constructing the ordinance. The result for the initial phase of the JAZB's work is a public hearing to present the proposed airport zoning ordinance for public review and comment, followed by its submittal to MnDOT for review and approval. Board discussion followed about the following topics: • Scope of the airport zoning ordinance: The Board discussed if the JAZB is preparing an airport zoning ordinance that reflects the existing airport layout or for the proposed airport layout. MAC staffs understanding is that the proposed airport layout would serve as the basis for the zoning ordinance. MAC staff took an action item to clarify MnDOT's position on this item and report back to the Board. • Concerns about the possibility of inverse condemnation claims: The Board discussed the example of airport zoning litigation in Rochester and asked who paid the damage claim. MAC staff took an action item to research this topic and report back to the Board. • Indemnification: The Board discussed the topic of legal liabilities and indemnification for individuals and communities participating on the JAZB. MAC staff took an action item to research this topic and report back to the Board. • Components of a Custom Standard zoning ordinance: A Custom Standard zoning ordinance would include a safety risk analysis and economic impact analysis. 33 of 49 Lake Elmo Airport Joint Airport Zoning Board Page 4 June 25, 2019 9. SELECTION OF CHAIRPERSON Mr_ Ralston inauired if the Board would like to move to select a Chair or if the Board would like to select the Chair at its next meeting. KENT GRANDLIENARD MOVED, SECONDED BY RICK KING, TO APPOINT RICK WEYRAUCH AS CHAIR. The Board discussed Mr.Weyrauch's qualifications for the Chair position. IT WAS MOVED BY DAVE SCHULTZ, SECONDED BY MARY VIERLING TO DELAY SELECTING A CHAIR UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING. Mr. Krogh asked for discussion on the alternate motion. The Board discussed the alternative motion. Mr. Krogh called for a vote. THE MOTION FAILED WITH TWO VOTES IN FAVOR AND SEVEN AGAINST.

Mr. Ralston turned the meeting over to Chair Weyrauch. 10. DATE SELECTION OF NEXT MEETING The Board discussed possible dates for the next meeting. Chair Weyrauch set August 29"'as the tentative date for the next JAZB meeting. 11. PUBLIC COMMENTS Chair Weyrauch requested that standards be set for the public speaking period and that a time limit be set. Ms. McComber recommended a three-minute time limit for each speaker. The Board discussed if a Vice-Chair position can be established in the event that the Chair cannot attend. MICHAEL MADIGAN MOVED, SECONDED BY MIKE LILJEGREN, TO NOMINATE MARY McCOMBER AS VICE-CHAIR. 34 of 49 Lake Elmo Airport Joint Airport Zoning Board Page 5 June 25, 2019 The Board discussed if a Vice Chair can also be a Board member. Ms. McComber asked if state statues can be checked in reference to aVice-Chair. MAC staff took an action item to research if state statutes allow for a Vice-Chair to be seated. MICHAEL MADIGAN WITHDREW MOTION OF VICE-CHAIR NOMINATION. Chair Weyrauch returned to the topic of the Public Comment period. Public comments were received from four (4) individuals and addressed the following topics: • Concern about a meeting date of August 29th, as it is close to the Labor Day holiday and requested that meetings not be scheduled near a holiday. • More advertising awareness of the JAZB meetings and that the meetings be at a more accessible time of day. • Availability of JAZB meeting minutes. • Residency of JAZB members. • Current status of airport zoning for Lake Elmo Airport. The Airport is not currently zoned to MnDOT standards. Chair Weyrauch closed the public comment period and asked the Board if they would like to revisit the 3:30 PM time frame of the JAZB meetings. Ms. McComber responded that with a request that the meetings not be held on Tuesdays. There were no objections to the 3:30 PM time frame, nor alternate times suggested by any Board member. 12. ADJOURN WITH NO FURTHER BUSINESS TO DISCUSS, CHAIR WEYRAUCH REQUESTED A MOTION TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. IT WAS MOVED BY JUSTIN BLOYER, SECONDED BY MIKE LILJEGREN TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. THE MOTION CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOTE. The meeting was adjourned at 4:45 PM. 35 of 49 MAOSC State Newsletter—June 17,2019 Special Session#2 likely Prospects for a second special session with a very limited agenda are growing steadily.While lawmakers are in general agreement that something has to be done about the high cost of life-saving insulin,how to pay for it is the major sticking point.Republicans oppose a new pharmaceutical fee while the DFL House and governor oppose tapping into general tax revenue. While other legislative topics could enter into the special session discussion,prospects of also including General Obligation Bonding still appear to be remote.The global agreement reached among leaders last month included$440 million in GO bonds,but participation by minority members of both the House and Senate required to reach a 60 percent majority vote did not materialize. https.11www.minnpost.comlstate-government/2019lo6lwak-open-to-callina-special-session-on-emeraency insulin-access-lf-theres-bivartisan- agreement-on-a-solution Annexation hearings planned State statutes related to municipal annexation have been stable over the past several years with virtually no discussion of making major changes in the laws.That situation could change soon,though.When MAOSC staff met with Senate Local Government Chair Dan Hall late in the 2019 regular legislative session,we learned that interim hearings on Annexation are planned. At this time,it appears likely that those hearings will be planned for sometime in the fall,according to committee staff-with meeting specifics yet to be announced.We'll keep member cities informed as additional information becomes available.MAOSC generally supports the current annexation statutes and policies ensuring that municipalities continue to most efficiently provide services in locations intensively developed for residential,commercial,industrial,and many other governmental purposes. Census question decision expected The U.S.Supreme Court is likely to hand down a 2020 Census-related verdict either today(June 17)or a week from now deciding on the appropriateness of adding a question about citizenship. Lower courts ruled against the Trump administration's plan to add the citizenship question based on concerns that the question will result in significant undercounting of undocumented Latinos and other Immigrant minorities.New evidence of political strategy entering into the administration's decision on the census question came forward after oral arguments were heard in April.The new evidence adds an element of uncertainty about the coming decision. Conventional wisdom indicates electoral shifts will be triggered by a full count that includes non-citizen immigrants tending to favor Democratic states overall.Yet,the same logic argues in the opposite direction regarding Minnesota specifically.Current projections indicate Minnesota is more-likely-than-not to lose one of its eight Congressional seats due to redistricting based on the 2020 census. However,the Democratic-leaning state has a far-lower ratio of immigrants than most states,and therefore would tend to be over- represented in the census count if undocumented persons are significantly undercounted. hthos://thehill.com/reaulation/court-baWes/446436-new-evidence-throws-census-citizenship-case-into-auestion ■ Minnesota Association of Small Cities shorts Minnesota Small Cities'Shorts "Small Cities'Shorts"are brief yet noteworthy items featuring MAOSC member cities and officials.Readers can submit potential Small Cities'Shorts or other feature ideas by emailing James Robins at. inr@JamesRobins.com.

For those who have missed the early segments or do not subscribe to FSN,the episodes will be posted for Internet viewing on a delayed basis.The first segment,"Minnesota's Best Kept Secret,"aired originally on May 16 and is now available on the Internet. Fun fact:The 300 town ball teams in Minnesota make it easily the most prolific state in the country in terms of participation. https✓/www.townba11mn.com Child care shortage explored Previously in brief summaries of 2019 legislative changes,MAOSC noted that very little has changed related to funding for child care despite the growing shortages experienced in many small cities and other communities across the state—based on the legislative spreadsheets.Of course,the many complex reasons for the shortage go beyond state funding issues.With further Information now available,we want to report that significant regulatory changes for both child care centers and home-based family child care were passed this year,and could potentially relieve some pressure.The regulatory changes will take place effective Sept.30,2019. The loss of family child care options in rural areas has been especially challenging for some smaller rural communities in recent years.The Center for Rural Policy and Development helped focus greater attention to child care challenges in its substantial study 37 of 49 when preliminary findings were released earlier this year(see below).The survey of providers included family and center-based child care operations across the entire state,including in the twin Cities area. https://www.ruralmn.ora/child-care-moving-on-to-the-whv/ httas://mn.aov/dhs/aeneral-publicAicensinaAeaislative-changes/ Linking LGA&Streets funding In legislative testimony this year,MAOSC consistently pointed out how Local Government Aid(LGA)serves several broad purposes and should not be confused as a substitute for targeted Small Cities Streets Assistance.It didn't help that the governor's two year budget plan had proposed a substantial increase in LGA,but zeroed out the existing$16 million in one-time Street Assistance— despite seeking a 20-cent gas tax increase that would benefit state,county,larger(MSA)cities and township roads.Essentially,the governor got most of what he requested regarding these particular provisions,except the 20-cent gas tax and vehicle tab fee Increase,of course. MAOSC seeks to include cities 5,000-and-under in the Highway User Tax Distribution Fund(HUTDF)proceeds supported by gas tax and vehicle tab fees.Other than our small cities,all those other jurisdictions responsible for roads and streets get HUTDF funds based logically on formula factors related to road mileage and population;but LGA formula distribution is far-more variable-based on various needs-related factors such as age of infrastructure,property wealth and tax-raising capacity. Although cities 5,000 and under are home to slightly less than 15 percent of the state residents living in municipalities,these Small Cities will claim 30.5 percent of the new LGA funding for 2020.Still,that funding increase is expected to total only$17.1 million additional for the coming biennium,or a net of$1.1 million when loss of$16 million in Streets Assistance is taken into account. Broken down to a per person basis,the aggregate gain for Small Cities is only$1.65 per capita for the next two years.Street maintenance costs are likely to go up by more than$29 per person-assuming that costs continue to rise at the same rate as had during the five most-recent years measured(based on 2012-17 data from the latest State Auditor reports). Ultimately,12 percent of Minnesota cities get no LGA based on the existing needs factors,and many others get only a fairly small portion.These cities still have substantial streets costs,of course,but virtually no access to state funds for their maintenance. Unfortunately,some state policy makers and legislators often link LGA and Streets Assistance as essentially the same thing.The confusion worked against the interests of Small Cities this year.We will continue to educate and work toward a fairer solution.

Take Action! Zachary Gossett, 202.465.2520 and Rohan Narayanan, 202.626.3029 The National League of Cities (NLC) is the voice of America's cities, towns and villages, representing more than 200 million people across the country. In order to 1 39 of 49 influence federal policy, we constantly meet with members of Congress and the administration. But sometimes there is nothing more important for members of Congress than hearing the concerns of their constituents directly, which is why we need your help. By taking action, you help elevate the issues facing your city, town or village to the forefront of national priorities. You can make your voice heard and advocate for all municipalities by going to our new resource page, where we post all active engagements for you to get involved. Right now, you can send letters to stop federal small cell preemption and tweet to ask your members of Congress to support municipal bond refinancing, EECBG reauthorization, Clean Water State Revolving Fund reauthorization, NPDES permit term extension, park access increase, workforce training grants, smart city grant expansion and digital equity. Take action now! Senate, House Pass PFAS Legislation Carolyn Berndt, 202.626.310, As concern about drinking water contamination from PFAS grows, both chambers of Congress have passed legislation to address the problem. The PFAS-related provisions are included as part of the fiscal year 2020 (FY20) National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and will now head to conference, with some key differences to be resolved. On June 27, the Senate passed NDAA (S. 1790) by a vote of 86-8 that includes bipartisan PFAS legislation sponsored by the Environment and Public Works Committee Chairman John Barrasso (R-WY) and Ranking Member Tom Carper (D-DE). The Senate bill would: • require the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set nationwide drinking water standards under the Safe Drinking Water Act for PFOA and PFOS, two of the best studied chemicals in the class, and to take additional 2 40 of 49 steps as more is learned about the roughly 5,000 other chemicals in the class; • urge the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to develop cooperative agreements to fund testing, monitoring, removal and remedial actions of PFAS from federal sites, and to issue grants to state and local governments to take action to address water contamination; and • provide $100 million per year for five years for drinking water grants to address PFAS contamination, including a 25% set aside for small and disadvantaged communities. The Senate legislation does not include language that would designate PFAS chemicals as a hazardous substance eligible for cleanup under EPA's Superfund law. Additionally, on July 12, the House passed its version of NDAA (H.R. 2500) by a vote of 220-197, including a number of PFAS-related amendments that would: • require EPA to designate all PFAS chemicals as hazardous substances under Superfund, • require EPA to list PFAS chemicals as hazardous substances under the Clean Water Act and set effluent limits and pre-treatment standards for industrial facilities that send their wastewater to municipal sewage treatment plants, • require DOD to phase out of the use of firefighting foam containing PFAS chemicals by 2025, and • require DOD to work with states in mitigating PFAS contamination and require the department to share PFAS monitoring data with local governments. The House bill does not include language that would require EPA to set drinking water standards. Bipartisan legislation on this issue has been introduced in the House and could be part of a PFAS package that is being negotiated by leaders of the Energy and Commerce Committee. The White House has issued a veto threat for H.R. 2500. NLC has not taken an official position on either bill. Earlier this year members of the NLC Energy, Environment and Natural Resource (EENR) Committee and the 3 41 of 49 Military Communities Council formed a subcommittee to jointly develop a resolution outlining local government concerns and the need for congressional and administrative action. Last month, the EENR Committee approved a draft of the resolution, which will be presented for a vote at the upcoming City Summit in San Antonio, November 20-23. NLC Advocates for Solutions to National Housing Crisis in New NLC Housing Task Force Report Michael Wallace, 202.626.3025 On July 9, National League of Cities (NLC) hosted local officials from the NLC Housing Task Force for a panel discussion about NLC's new report, "Homeward Bound: The Road to Affordable Housing." The panelists included Task Force Chair Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington, D.C., NLC President Karen Freeman- Wilson, mayor of Gary, Indiana, Teresa Mosqueda, Councilmember, City of Seattle, Washington, and NLC CEO and Executive Director Clarence Anthony. The event was recorded and can be viewed here. The report urges local and federal officials to adopt a federal/local platform for housing stability for all, as stable housing is a prerequisite for economic mobility, job security, and health and well-being. The task force developed five recommendations for national action and five recommendations for local action. The five recommendations for national action are: 1. enact emergency funding to immediately stabilize and stem the loss of public and affordable housing across the country; 2. follow emergency intervention with passage of a long-term, stand-alone federal housing bill that authorizes ten years of new funding for pilot programs that advance housing for all; 3. support innovation and modernization of land-use and planning at the local and regional level; 4. fix inequities in housing development and the housing finance system; and 5. support scalable innovation and financing for cities, towns and villages. The five recommendations for local action are: 4 42 of 49 1. establish local programs by combining funding and financing streams to support housing goals; 2. modernize local land use policies, including zoning and permitting, to rebalance housing supply and demand; 3. identify and engage broadly with local stakeholders and coordinate across municipal boundaries to develop a plan to provide housing opportunities for all; 4. support the needs of distinct sub-populations including the homeless, seniors and persons with conviction histories; and 5. prioritize equitable outcomes in housing decision as it is an essential component for success. This summer, NLC is promoting the report and its findings among local leaders and on Capitol Hill.

Cities Prepare for the 2020 Census as Final Answer Comes in Citizenship Question Debate Brian Egan, 202.626.3107 Census coordinators from more than 30 cities joined the National League of Cities (NLC), President Karen Freeman-Wilson (pictured below) at the Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center for a day and a half long seminar on preparing cities for the 2020 Census. Participants came for deep dive lessons and peer-to-peer best practice sharing. Key topics included "get out to count" management, solutions for ensuring historically undercounted residents are counted and other ways that local leaders can help ensure their communities are fairly and fully counted. Sessions were led by a host of experts from the Shorenstein Center, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) Educational Fund, the Foundation for Civic Leadership and former Census Bureau employees and directors. 5 43 of 49 N'vzx�YY •:rY IIII1lJ�J - i, I� �I -�rd Separate from the event, on July 11, the administration announced that it would be dropping its efforts to instate a question of citizenship on the 2020 Census questionnaire. The move came as a major victory for census advocates and local governments who feared the question's inclusion would suppress self-reporting rates and jeopardize data accuracy. We have broken down what last week's announcement means for the census and municipal governments as we head into next year. NLC is also continuing to develop and share resources to help you prepare your community to be counted in 2020 at www.nic.org/census. EPA Finalizes Affordable Clean Energy Rule Carolyn Berndt, 202.626.3101 On June 19, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued the final Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule establishing emission guidelines for states to use when developing plans to limit carbon dioxide at their coal-fired power plants. This final ACE rule replaces the Obama Administration's Clean Power Plan. 6 44 of 49 Under the ACE rule, EPA expects to see CO2 emissions from the electric sector fall by as much as 35% below 2005 levels in 2030, including expected emissions reductions based on long-term industry trends. Unlike the Clean Power Plan, the ACE rule does not set specific emissions targets for states, but rather allows each state to establish unit-specific "standards of performance" that reflect the emission limitation achievable through the application of best system of emissions reduction technologies. The ACE rule identifies heat rate improvements as the best system of emission reduction and provides states with a list of candidate technologies that can be applied at the specific sources for achieving emissions targets. This part also differs from the Clean Power Plan, which included shifting generation to other sources, such as natural gas and renewables, as part of the best system of emissions reduction. States will have three years to submit plans to EPA that establish standards of performance and include measures that provide for the implementation and enforcement of such standards. One change from the proposed rule issued last year is the agency's omission of changes to the New Source Review program. EPA says changes to the program will be addressed in a future rulemaking. Last year, NLC submitted comments to EPA on a proposed rule to repeal the Clean Power Plan, as well as an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to solicit input on a replacement. In the letters, NLC raised concerns with the process EPA used to repeal and replace the Clean Power Plan, urging EPA to move forward in a more deliberative and subsequent manner, rather than concurrently. In rulemaking and litigation, NLC supported the Clean Power Plan as a means of nationally reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the growing negative impacts of climate change on cities. NLC continues to urge the 45 of 49 administration to support and partner with cities in addressing the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In Indianapolis, Reviving a Sleepy Neighborhood Zachary Gossett, 202.626.3176 Don't sleep on Naptown. Indianapolis was once known for its quiet evenings and small-town aura in a big city, hence the city's nickname—Naptown. While it was once considered an insult, today the nickname "Naptown" has reclaimed some of it's original flare (the name originated from the 1920's jazz "Naptown sound"), as the city has transformed from what critics called a sleepy city into a lively cultural center. Some of these transformations are happening in the oddest of places: Indianapolis is currently developing Central State, a mixed-use village on the lands of the decommissioned Central State Hosoital for osvchiatric treatment. Central State presented massive challenges for developers. There was little access to roads, water and sewage. The land was covered in old and ominous patient dormitories, gymnasiums and treatment facilities. And, under the surface, there were tunnels connecting these buildings. Some citizens even feared the area to be haunted. Yet, Indianapolis saw an opportunity. To keep reading, click here to go to the blog on CitiesSpeak. Read NLVs Latest Issue Brief on Mental Illness, Substance Use, and Homelessness Rohan Narayanan, 202.626.3029 Mental illness, substance use disorder, and homelessness affect millions of people across the nation and pose significant, interconnected challenges for cities.

Stephanie Martinez-Ruckman, 202.626.3098 and Zachary Gossett, 202.465.2520 The Building U.S. Infrastructure by Leveraging Demands for Skills Act (BUILDS Act)—H.R. 2831 and S. 1517—is a critical component of any infrastructure package that aims to rebuild and reimagine America's road, bridges, water and broadband. By creating a pipeline for skilled, trained labor, our workforce can meet the growing labor demand in the infrastructure industry and any increase inspired by a federal infrastructure investment. NLC sent this letter to endorse the act and thank the original cosponsors for their leadership. Then, we asked you for help.
