Community solar gardens and community solar subscriptions have recently become a popular topic in Minnesota communities serviced wholly or partially by Xcel Energy. This is due in part to legislation requiring Xcel Energy(as a public utility) to produce via solar energy a percentage of its total retail electric sales to retail customers in Minnesota by 2020. With this mandated production deadline in place, many private companies are actively working to develop solar production facilities and secure customers via community solar subscriptions to take advantage of available energy credits. DISCUSSION The City of Farmington(along with many other communities throughout the Metro)has been approached by several private companies seeking to partner with the city to purchase solar energy. This has the opportunity to reduce a portion of the city's electric utility bills from Xcel Energy. Municipalities tend to be desirable customers due to several factors including consistent energy usage, timeliness of payments, and inability to relocate. Because this is a new and complex topic, there has been a lot of discussion on regional collaboration for producing an RFP to leverage the knowledge of governmental entities that have more resources dedicated to energy management and purchase power agreements. The Community Solar Subscriber Collaborative is offering metro area local governments the opportunity to procure solar garden subscriptions from a single RFP process. The collaborative is a joint effort of the Metropolitan Council, Hennepin County,Ramsey County, the City of Minneapolis, the Great Plains Institute, and CERTs. By working together, government entities gain an economy of scale and reduced administrative costs. Community Solar Gardens create a new opportunity for local government entities to support clean energy, save on energy bills for public buildings and plants, and hedge against the future price volatility of electricity. Potential benefits of participating in the collaborative include: • Better subscription pricing enabled by a larger procurement • Faster entry into the solar garden market • Reduced staff time needed to run an RFP process • Eases solar garden developers' task of finding high-quality subscribers • Creates opportunity for local governments of all sizes • Can hedge against volatile electricity prices Staff attended meetings of the Collaborative on June 1 and September 16, 2015 to learn more about the process and potential benefits for the City of Farmington. The project overview can be found as an attachment to this memo. The Metropolitan Council is coordinating an RFP process for all entities desiring to participate in this program in the 11-county Metro area. RFP's have been received and reviewed by the Metropolitan Council and they are currently working on outlining specific terms with one or more vendors. This is a rapidly evolving project and the below is meant to outline what we currently know and what we do not yet know. Knowns: • Farmington has expressed initial interest in participating in this process spearheaded by the Metropolitan Council through a non-binding letter of intent(July 22, 2015 as attached and is based on an estimated 50%subscription rate of current Xcel energy usage) • This initiative has the potential to save the city money on its current utility bills from Xcel Energy • This would be a 25 year commitment(rates are based on expected life of the equipment) Unknowns: • The future of energy technology and future energy prices (alternative methods may be developed at lower costs) • The proposed costs per kW/h • Exact amount of potential savings • What the contract looks like or specific project details (ie. fixed costs/escalator clauses etc.) • If Farmington will be selected to be given the opportunity to purchase a solar energy subscription (determined by a lottery process late October) • If the selected vendor will even be able to construct a solar garden(s) to meet demand in our region (as regulated by the PUC) Assumptions: • Farmington will continue to grow and municipal services will see in increased demand for electricity from Xcel Energy facilities • Traditional energy production prices will continue to increase As more information becomes available we can bring this back for further discussion at your November work session. Met Council is seeking renewed confirmation from cities that are still interested in pursuing this opportunity. It is anticipated that formal action will be required at the November 16, 2015 city council meeting by entering into contract with the selected vendor. Additional questions to be discussed, if interested in moving forward include:the amount of energy we would be interested in subscribing to, comfort with the speed this process is moving, and ability to execute a contract based on information obtained shortly before a deadline. BUDGET IMPACT • TBD ACTION REQUESTED Review the above information and discuss the city's interest in formally moving forward with a solar subscription agreement.

E'er City of Lakes Community Solar Subscriber Collaborative: An Opportunity for Metro Area Local Governments Description: Community Solar Gardens create a new opportunity for local government entities to support clean energy, save on energy bills for public buildings and plants, and hedge against the future price volatility of electricity. The Community Solar Subscriber Collaborative is a joint effort for Metro area local governments to procure solar garden subscriptions from a single RFP process. By working together, government entities gain an economy of scale in the solicitation process(reducing the administrative burden to vet developers) and in attractiveness to developers, resulting in better pricing and subscription terms. The process below describes how the RFP will be issued and how local governments are able to procure solar garden subscriptions through this initiative. Process: 1. Letter of Intent: Interested local governments sign a non-binding letter of intent declaring their intent to subscribe, and attach to the letter a list of the premises and loads they are interested in subscribing. Interested entities must be willing to subscribe to at least 100kW of solar production (equivalent to 120,000 kWh annual consumption). 2. Joint Powers Agreement(Optional): Local governments requiring a Joint Powers Agreement(JPA)to be signed according to their procurement policies may sign a community solar garden subscription-specific JPA. 3. Request for Proposals: The Metropolitan Council will publish an RFP for developers to provide community solar garden subscriptions to the local governments that signed a Letter of Intent. Developers' proposals will include a list of the counties they can provide subscriptions to and how much capacity they have available for each county. 4. Developer Selection: A team of governmental participants from the core steering group and major subscribers, selected by the Council, will evaluate proposals received, ranking them according to qualifications, experience, and price. 5. Lottery Process: Local governments that signed a Letter of Intent will be entered into a lottery for available gardens. Local governments drawn in the lottery will have the first right of refusal to subscribe to the garden(s)for which they are drawn. mncerts.org/solargardens/collaborative 6/3/2015 6. Execute Subscription Agreement(s): In order to secure its subscription(s), each local government entity will need to execute its own Subscription Agreement(s)with the developer it is purchasing a subscription from. 7. Garden Approval Process:There is currently a long queue for community solar gardens to be approved by Xcel energy before they can be built. This process is expected to take 18-21 weeks after the initial application is submitted and may be longer as this is a new program in Minnesota and the number of garden applications has been much higher than expected. 8.

The City of Farmington believes the societal,financial and environmental value of Community Solar Gardens(CSGs)warrants our pursuing this opportunity in conjunction with other local government entities. Our staff has reviewed various materials and resources regarding CSGs,and has reviewed the electrical loads of our facilities. In order to participate in a collaborative and expeditious manner,we agree to abide by the Metropolitan Council's procurement processes,to the allotment process between governments,to the evaluation panel make-up,and understand that we will not be able to negotiate(but just accept or decline)these opportunities.We agree to not hold the Metropolitan Council,the other participating governments or the Great Plains Institute liable for their good faith efforts in this program. Overall,we have concluded that there is value in this program and therefore,we intend to participate in subscriptions that become available as part of the Metropolitan Council's Request for Proposals for CSG Subscription Agreements slated to occur in July,2015. Attached to this letter is a list of facilities we intend to involve in the purchase of Community Solar Garden subscriptions-if the price and terms of the subscription agreements meet our goals and objectives. In total,this is a commitment not to exceed 1,300,000 kWh. This letter does not bind the City of Farmington to sign any specific subscription agreements or otherwise commit financial resources to a community solar garden project. Nor does submitting this letter to the Metropolitan Council prevent the City of Farmington from soliciting for CSG subscriptions alone or with other entities. The intent of this letter is to clearly state City of Farmington's desire to subscribe to one or more community solar gardens dependent on the terms and conditions of the proposals received as a result of the Request for Proposals for Community Solar Garden Subscription Agreements being issued by the Metropolitan Council in June or July,2015. We encourage the Metropolitan Council to continue to take a leadership role on CSG projects so that the City of Farmington along with other local government entities can participate in the financially responsible and environmentally preferable attributes of solar energy and share those benefits with its residents and businesses. Together,by leveraging the strength of local government entities and the expertise of the Metropolitan Council,we can reduce carbon emissions and improve the overall quality of life for metro area residents and businesses.

Part of that approval will require the developer to reconstruct a sanitary sewer line that currently exists on the property which carries sewage from the northern part of Farmington north to the Met Council interceptor in Lakeville. DISCUSSION While the sewer line currently only carries sewage from Farmington,the new development in T akeville will tie into the line and use it as well. The existing line is an 18-inch concrete pipe that is approximately 40 years old. Due to the age and the fact that there needs to be an additional flow meter installed to accurately measure flows(so that we can determine how much of the sewage going into the Met Council interceptor is from Farmington and how much is from Lakeville), Lakeville is requiring the reconstruction of the 18-inch line as part of the approval of the development. Both Farmington and Lakeville treat the installation of public utilities in a new development in a similar manner. If the city requires the developer to install a line larger than would be necessary for just the development(to have additional capacity to serve other developments),the city uses trunk utility funds to pay the difference between the cost to install a line that would be big enough to serve the development, and the cost to install a line of the required size to serve multiple developments. The money in the trunk utility funds is generated by fees charged to developers and is therefore not a direct expense paid by the city, rather it is money collected from one developer to be used to compensate another developer who incurs costs that benefit another development. Because the development in Lakeville would only need to have an 8-inch sewer line to serve it,the additional cost to upsize to an 18-inch sewer line will be paid by the city. In addition, since the line also carries sewage from the Farmington,it is appropriate that Farmington participate in the cost of upsizing the pipe as well. The attached joint powers agreement facilitates the compensation to the developer in Lakeville to upsize the pipe to the required size to serve both cities. BUDGET IMPACT As shown in the TPA exhibit,the total cost for the upsizing is $89,271.00, of which$17,410.50 is attributable to costs to facilitate sewage from Farmington flowing through the line. The remaining$71,860.50 are costs attributable to upsizing other lines within the development that only benefit Lakeville. Funding for this sewer work was included in the 2015 budget an would come from the sanitary sewer fund. ACTION REQUESTED Review the attached JPA and ask any questions you may have. This item will be on the October 19, 2015 city council agenda for formal consideration and approval.

DISCUSSION One of the implementation steps calls for city support of routes that are designated within the corporate limits. In November,the county board will consider designating several county roads as 10-ton roads. The roads meet the design criteria for this designation. Two of the roads being considered are Pilot Knob Road and CSAH 50 as shown on the attached map. Both of these roads are currently designated as 9-ton roads. Staff does not anticipate any negative impacts if the designation is changed to 10-tons. Ash Street is shown as a"contingent" 10-ton route which means that it meets the standards,but will not be designated until a future connection to Cedar Avenue happens. BUDGET IMPACT None. ACTION REQUESTED Review the attached map and ask any questions you may have. This item will be on the October 19, 2015 city council agenda for formal consideration and approval. ,ATTACHMENTS: Type Description © Exhibit Dakota County 10-Ton Route Map 10-Ton Highways To Designate 10-Ton Highways - - LILEDALE1-- L \1 Proposed 0-- -- 3 I Contingent WES Q_._.. =•UTH i'RAUL 5v pE .ENDOTA e $TP I �`. 1'II ;, ...Z \ 1 ...State mom , s UNFRM , C )Designated by County Board ` LAKE �s ® I ; s 2015 Segments v./1, A,w..4. 1 "'"...., / '_" j ,r' Future County Highways 0 i i flier f \ Support Through City Resolution• ,/ ' EAGAN' u yt ® t1fJVERGROV. / 1=1=1=14 Deficient Segment Requiring Overlay El /42' EIGHTS yt.o.,..
