MEMORANDUM
To:Saint Anthony Village City Council
From:Minette Saulog, Sustainability Coordinator
Date:March 10, 2026
Request: Authorization to Participate in 2026-2027 Minnesota GreenCorps Program
BACKGROUND
The City is developing an application to host a Minnesota GreenCorps member for the 2026-2027
program year. Saint Anthony Village has previously hosted three Minnesota GreenCorps members: Nick
Voss in 2012-2013, Kristin Seaman in 2015-2016, and Minette Saulog in 2018-2019.
The Minnesota GreenCorps program is coordinated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
and aims to preserve and protect Minnesota’s environment while training a new generation of
environmental professionals. Up to 58 members will be placed with host sites across the state to serve
full-time (1,700 hours total) for 11 months from September 2026 to mid-August 2027.
Host sites do not pay a fee to participate in the program, but are expected to provide supervision, office
space, internet and phone service, training, and any resources necessary for members to accomplish
their projects. The MPCA also requires in-kind contributions to fulfill the required match for the
program’s AmeriCorps grant. A host site is responsible for contributing $600 minimum on behalf of their
member to pay registration fees for trainings, webinars, conferences, or events.
Saint Anthony Village’s application will include request a GreenCorps member to lead projects in the
Waste Reduction and Recycling topic area, to align with the current emphasis on implementing Climate
Plan Waste actions. Some of the proposed activities include:
Establishing a Climate Data Dashboard to track and report Climate Plan progress to the public
Support organics recycling program development, education and promotion
Multi-family recycling outreach and data collection
City facility waste system evaluation and employee education
Sustainable/local purchasing policy exploration
Outreach, education and event planning and support
Should Saint Anthony Village be selected as a host site for 2026-2027, the city will need to enter an
agreement with the MPCA. The accompanying resolution requests that City Council authorize
participation in the Minnesota GreenCorps program and direct city staff to sign the host site agreement
if selected.

Subject:Online Form Submittal: Public Comments for City Council Meetings
Public Comments for City Council Meetings
First Name Dr BIBI
Last Name NEUMANN
Address 3404 Silver Ln NE
City ST. ANTHONY Village
State MN
Zip Code 55421
Public Comment Thank you for the opportunity to submit written comments. I
have organized these remarks according to the published
agenda to maintain clarity and alignment.
V. Proclamations and Recognitions
A. Tibet Day Proclamation:
The proclamation appropriately recognizes the historical and
ongoing human rights concerns affecting Tibetans, including
the commemoration of the Tibetan National Uprising and the
cultural preservation efforts of the Tibetan community in exile.
Public proclamations such as this serve an important civic
purpose in acknowledging global human rights concerns and
the cultural contributions of diaspora communities within
Minnesota. Thank you to the Council for recognizing this
observance.
VI. Consent Agenda
A. Approval of Meeting Minutes:
The February 24 meeting minutes summarize public comments
but do not reflect the full scope of questions submitted through
the public comment process.
For residents who submit written comments in advance, it may
be helpful to clarify whether those written materials are
archived alongside meeting minutes or otherwise available for
2
public reference.
Ensuring that written submissions remain accessible supports
transparency and helps maintain a complete public record of
civic participation.
B. Licenses and Permits:
The license approvals include contractor, mechanical
contractor, tobacco, garbage hauler, and service station
licenses. With which city department are these affiliated?
C. Claims:
The check register for this meeting cycle reflects approximately
$436,378.84 in disbursements across vendors and service
providers.
The register currently lists vendor names and payment
amounts but does not identify the department responsible for
each expense.
For clarity, it may be helpful for the City to consider whether
future registers could include departmental attribution such as:
• Police
• Fire
• Public Works
• Liquor Operations
• Administration
Providing functional categorization could assist residents in
understanding how spending is distributed across municipal
operations.
D. Resolution 26-022 – Participation in Minnesota GreenCorps
Program:
The Minnesota GreenCorps program provides environmental
service members to assist local governments with sustainability
and climate initiatives, including waste reduction, recycling
outreach, and climate data tracking.
Because the program appears to involve limited direct financial
cost to the City aside from supervision and a modest training
contribution, participation appears to represent a relatively low-
risk opportunity to support environmental initiatives. Additional
information would assist in confirming whether this is the case.
IX. General Business of Council
A. Finance Annual Report:
3
The Finance Department report outlines the City’s financial
management activities, including budgeting, levy planning, and
long-term capital oversight.
Several questions arise when reviewing the report from a
performance measurement perspective:
• What measurable indicators are used to evaluate
departmental financial performance each year?
• Are strategic goals tied to specific quantitative benchmarks or
targets?
• How are operational efficiencies or cost containment efforts
tracked over time?
If municipal personnel expenditures represent a significant
portion of operating costs, it may be helpful for residents to
understand how productivity and performance outcomes are
measured.
B. Public Works Annual Report:
The Public Works Department oversees a wide range of
infrastructure responsibilities including streets, parks, utilities,
and vehicle fleet operations.
The report highlights ongoing maintenance activities and
infrastructure improvements.
Questions for consideration include:
• How are infrastructure maintenance priorities determined
when competing capital needs arise?
• What performance benchmarks guide long-term infrastructure
investment decisions?
• How does the City measure service effectiveness across
Public Works divisions?
Clear metrics can help residents better understand how
infrastructure investments are evaluated and prioritized.
C. Engineering Annual Report:
Engineering coordination includes roadway resurfacing,
pedestrian safety improvements, and capital infrastructure
planning.
Given the long-term capital implications of infrastructure
projects, it may be helpful for residents to understand:
• How project priorities are established within the Capital
4
Improvement Plan
• What criteria determine when roadway reconstruction versus
resurfacing is pursued
• How long-term infrastructure performance is evaluated
relative to projected service life
XII. Information and Announcements
A. Future Agenda Items:
The future agenda schedule reflects a number of significant
upcoming policy discussions, including housing topics,
sustainability initiatives, levy scenarios, and capital planning
matters.
As these discussions move forward, early visibility into policy
development may help residents better understand how major
initiatives evolve prior to formal decisions.
Providing opportunities for residents to follow emerging policy
discussions can strengthen civic engagement and
transparency.
Closing Observation:
When municipal operations involve:
• substantial public safety investment
• enterprise operations generating millions in annual revenue
• and significant capital infrastructure expenditures
residents naturally seek clarity regarding how performance,
financial thresholds, and long-term outcomes are evaluated.
Continued transparency in these areas can help strengthen
public understanding of how municipal systems operate and
how strategic decisions are assessed over time.
Respectfully submitted,
Dr. Bibi Neumann, PsyD, JD
Saint Anthony Village Resident
