Sub -committee reports
Water Quality— Met in the winter at the Eagan Arms and had a follow conversation with Russ Mathys
on the application of road salt. Next for review is to summarize and possibly recommend additional
information to the city. Also reviewed surrounding cities and state policies on road salt but more
specifically run off. More review is needed from communities.
Community Engagement — Impacted by Covid for outreach events and would like to focus on web
based information.
Climate Action Plan — Provided drafts at last meeting and editing the final document. Will send off to
Director of Parks and Recreation for Council review.

Director's Report
• Facilities will begin to open starting tomorrow with the Eagan Community Center.
GreenSteps Cities — 3 r year in a row we have achieved both level 4 and level 5. Level 4 is
achieved if you fill out your metrics but do not show improvement in at least three areas. The
main areas we showed improvement on was fleet miles per gallon, purchase of the public car
charging station at ECC, solar installation at Bridle Park and solar garden subscription to make
the Eagan Community Center 100% alternative energy supplied. LED conversions in several
indoor and outdoor spaces, and investments in the campus buildings and parking lot work in
Cascade Bay.
Council will hold interviews for commission members on the 14th of July — if all can stay on until
probably August, that would be good.
