RESOLUTION 20-01-04
A RESOLUTION BY THE OAK PARK HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THE
FORMATION OF THE ALLEN S.KING PLANT DECOMMISSIONING AND REUSE
ADVISORY PANEL
Whereas, the Xcel Energy-Allen S. King Plant (King Plant) is a 511 mega-watt, coal fired base-load
electricity plant that has commercially operated in the City of Oak Park Heights since 1968; and,
Whereas, the King Plant is located on 170 acres lying east of STH 95 with more than 4,500 linear feet of
shoreline upon the St. Croix River—a nationally designated Wild and Scenic River; and,
Whereas,the King Plant is the largest tax generator in the City accounting for more than 35 percent of the
City's tax revenues,typically over$2,000,000 annually; and,
Whereas, it is anticipated that the King Plant will be decommissioned in the next decade as both XceI
Energy and the State of Minnesota seek to further advance carbon-free power generation and renewable
targets; and,
Whereas,with any decommissioning the City has a deep interest in the King Plant property being returned
to a productive use including advancing elements to provide tax base and job creation but to also enhance
and restore lands along the Wild and Scenic St. Croix River along with our community's access and
interface with it; and.
Whereas,the City is the requ isite local land-use authority with zoning responsibilities for such lands as well
being the primary public infrastructure utility provider; and,
Whereas, as any replacement use is being explored, a comprehensive and deliberate public narrative must
be initiated that begins to outlines the City's goals for such site, outlines the steps necessary to achieve a
successFul decommissioning and how the City, Xcel Energy and other entities can begin to enrage and
contribute to discover a shared vison for this land.
NOW, THEREFORE. BE 1T RESOLVED by the City Council for the City of Oak Park Heights that the
City shall take an initial step in this exploratom, process and shall form an Advisory Panel that will endeavor-
to educate its rnembers and the general public as to the complex issues associated with a coal-plant
decommissioning as well as the exploration of future uses and development of visioning concepts.
BE IT FURTI-lER RESOLVED,that the City Council will develop policies and protocols as to the makeup
of such Advisory Panel which shall generally seek to be inclusive of economic development interests, St.
Croix River advocates, local public agencies and other relevant parties.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Advisory Panel shall regularly report its discussions and finding
to the City Council and shall undertake the costs, steps and programming as outlined in Exhibit A to this
Resolution as its primary responsibility.

Scope of Services —Allan S. King Plant
Professional Planning Services to support Oak Park Heights in fully understanding the challenges
and opportunities associated with the closure and reuse of the Allan S King Plant
Background:
In July of this year, Xcel Energy submitted its Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) to the Minnesota Public Utilities
Commission. One of the original options for the King Plant was for its decommissioning to be scheduled for
the mid-2030s, but instead the IRP identified the closure in 2028.
Given the magnitude of this change and the breadth of its implications, it is important for the City to prepare
and implement a comprehensive strategy to fully understand the challenges and opportunities the closure of
the King Plant presents. This proposal is focused on Step One of this process.
Purpose:
1. Education—the City needs a fuller and more comprehensive understanding of the implications of this
major land use change, the decommissioning process and the challenges and opportunities
presented by the reuse of this strategically located 140-acre property.
2. Set City Council Expectations—the City of Oak Park Heights is the land use authority and will make
the final decisions regarding its Comprehensive Plan, Zoning and the approval of future land uses.
The City also recognizes that this facility and site are of State-wide and federal significance and many
stakeholders have an interest in these issues. This process is intended to respect these interests and
invite the participation of these stakeholders, share a common body of information and work together
in an atmosphere of mutual respect.
3. Roles, Responsibilities, Communications - Establish a shared understanding about the roles and
responsibilities of all the participants and establish and implement a Communications Plan, to ensure
the timely sharing of relevant information throughout the decommissioning and reuse process.
4. Vision & Goals—Through research and analysis and the development and review of alternative
scenarios, the City will establish a broad framework of desired outcomes. These will be established in
a Vision Statement and goal statements for land use, economic development, the environment, social
and other categories to be determined.
Allan S King Plant Future Land Use Advisory Panel
Since one of the key purposes of this process is educational, the formation of an Advisory Panel serves a
dual purpose. First, the process will include the assemblage and analysis of relevant information that is
essential to inform future land use decisions. Second, it will include, and actively engage representatives from
a strategically selected group of key stakeholders. This will ensure that all the key players share a common
understanding and access to the facts and include interest groups in the City's process, instead of potentially
being involved in a separate process.
This process is designed to openly share all the relevant information and to provide opportunities for multiple
stakeholders to request additional information and provide input at every stage of the process. All this
information and stakeholder input is intended to support the City Council in its decision making.
