Public-facing EV charging infrastructure <br />Update <br />This is part of a multi-faceted approach to Climate Plan actions regarding electric vehicle accessibility <br />and infrastructure. Staff discussions determined the City Hall and Community Center location to be the <br />best-equipped city facility to host an EV charging station for public charging. Other options that were <br />considered included parks and both commercial areas, but these locations need further coordination <br />and evaluation. <br />Staff Recommendation (no action needed) <br />Staff recommend that Council supports inclusion of EV charging infrastructure in future infrastructure <br />plans for City Hall and potentially other locations within Saint Anthony. <br />EV charging ordinance <br />Update <br />Since City Council’s November 2024 work session on this topic, draft language for an EV charging <br />ordinance has been developed. It has been discussed by both Parks & Environmental Commission and <br />Planning Commission. <br />Staff Request <br />Staff requests Council review and provide feedback on draft ordinance language, in preparation for <br />three ordinance readings and a vote considering approval at a future regular meeting. <br />Sustainable building policy <br />Update <br />Parks & Environmental Commission first discussed a sustainable building policy during their work session <br />in April 2025, with further comments shared at their June regular meeting. Staff have included <br />information gathered from initial research, previous PEC discussions, and a sample reference policy from <br />a local community as part of this packet and to help inform possible next steps. <br />Staff Request <br />Staff requests Council provide direction on whether to draft a sustainable building ordinance or policy. If <br />so, what should be included in an ordinance or policy? Additionally, staff seek Council input on priority <br />criteria for a City overlay. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />·Presentation – Climate Plan Items <br />·Climate Plan 2025 mid-year update document <br />·Sustainable building policy – policy guide from Center for Energy & Environment <br />·Sustainable building policy – sample reference from Edina <br />·Draft EV Charging Ordinance
