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. Lj Secretary Date
