5. CEE Home Energy Squad Extension
Forney reported that in 2019 the EDA started its partnership with the Center for Energy and
Environment (CEE), buying down the Home Energy Squad program for the residents of Columbia
Heights. The Home Energy Squad program provides a variety of visits from energy experts who
inspect and assess how a home uses energy. As part of the inspection, experts will offer ways to
create a more energy-efficient home. The EDA has budgeted $5,000 per year to buy down the
program costs so that residents pay $35 for an Energy Saver visit and $50 for an Energy Planner
visit, rather than $70 and $100 respectively. The contract entered by the EDA recently expired so
staff have brought an extension to the contract for the authority’s consideration. In addition to th e
expiration of the contract, there has also been a change regarding the program’s provider. Excel
Energy and CenterPoint Energy offer the Home Energy Squad Program through the utilization of
providers like CEE. CEE recently renewed their contract with Excel to execute the program for
Hennepin, Ramsey, and Washington counties. After Q3 2024 CEE will no longer be the provider for
Anoka County and the City will need to work with the new unnamed provider to execute the
program. It is unknown to CEE who the new provider will be but staff have reached out to Excel
Energy to clarify the changes. Excel will remove their portion of funding at the end of Q3 so even if
the City extended the contract beyond that period the program cost would increase due Excels
share being removed and reestablished with the new provider. Via Resolution 2024 -15, Community
Development staff are recommending that the EDA extend the buydown until the end of Q3 of
2024 at which time we will shift to the new provider but the same contract.
Questions/Comments from Members:
Buesgens asked if they know why Anoka County got dropped or if other counties were also
dropped. Forney updated that he believed every other county in the metro area also got dropped
because the bid came in too high. Buesgens also asked how many people take advantage of this
program. Forney updated that they recently received numbers, but he does not have them with
him at the moment. Chirpich updated they are not spending the $5,00 cost-share.

Szurek asked how they informed residents about doing this. Forney stated they put it in the
newsletter and advertise it through all the City events. He also stated that CEE does a great job of
providing marketing material so the Communications Team can push it out, and they do about
$2,000 in revenue on average.
Buesgens asked how much the EDA has every year for this program, and if that money carries over
from year-to-year. Forney updated that they have $5,000 each year, it does carry over, is used for
general EDA administration, and the funds have been recycled in fund 204.
Dibba asked what feedback they have received from residents who used the program in the past.
Forney stated they have not received much feedback from residents, but they will look into surveys
to get more feedback.
James stated that she got the Energy Saver visit a few years ago, it was nice for her house, and she
liked it.

BUSINESS UPDATES
Forney stated the house on 39th and Central Avenue was burnt down by the Fire Department. The
Department was excited it was a 2-story training burn because they are not seen very often. He
updated that many people were there, and Better Futures removed a lot of the paneling and flooring.
It will be up for sale at their store and the EDA is invited if they are interested in touring the facility
where they sell their materials. The EDA will have demolition bids coming up. Forney also stated they
will be demolishing the two properties on 39th and one at 941. Buesgens stated it was very fun to
watch.
Forney updated that City Council will be considering the Housing Trust Fund. The first reading of the
ordinance for establishing the Housing Trust Fund will occur at the next Council meeting and it will be
open for public hearing. He added that once the Housing Trust Fund gets started, the EDA will be
receiving a resolution to accept the funds and administer the funds of that Housing Trust Fund.
Forney stated he went with the Mayor and Communications team to Pizza Man, gave him his plaque,
and he was very grateful.
Forney added that the EDA will be considering putting the façade improvement grant funds towards
public art. The current City Code does not allow for paintings to be on the outside of any building. The
City Council will be receiving some code updates before moving forward.

ITEM: Anoka County Housing Study Presentation, Karen Skepper
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 5/28/24
BACKGROUND:
In 2023 the Anoka County HRA contracted with Maxfield Research to conduct a county wide housing study. As
part of this housing study each community within the county received a snippet on its current housing
situation alongside a collection of data regarding the county as a whole. Karen Skepper, the Anoka County
HRA Director will be attending the EDA meeting to give the commission a presentation regarding the studies
findings. Due to the documents size the Housing study was not able to be added to the packet but can be
found on the City’s Website at
https://www.columbiaheightsmn.gov/departments/community_development/housing.php. After the
presentation staff will work with the communications department to get the word out about the location of
the study.

ITEM: Deconstruction of 3851 Central Ave
DEPARTMENT: Community Development BY/DATE: Mitchell Forney, 5-31-24
BACKGROUND:
During the preparation for the demolition of 941 44th and 3851-3853 Central, the EDA looked at having Better
Futures deconstruct and recycle the properties. At the April 1st EDA meeting the EDA decided to work with
Better Futures on the recycling of building materials but not on the general deconstruction of the buildings. As
part of this, the EDA directed staff to revisit the bid for 3851 Central while moving forward with on ly 3853
Central. Staff have obtained a revised bid for the recyclable material in 3851 Central Ave NE. The bid specs are
attached with the total bid coming in at $6,995, for three days of work.
Better Futures is a great organization which not only offers deconstruction services but utilizes them for job
training. They did an amazing job on 3853 Central and by utilizing deconstruction, the EDA can keep items and
finishes that are as good as new from ending up in the land fill .
RECOMMENDED MOTION(S):
MOTION: Move to accept the proposal from Better Futures Minnesota, in the amount of $6,995 for
deconstruction work on the property located at 3851 Central Ave NE; and furthermore, to authorize the
President and Executive Director to enter into an agreement for the same.

Bid Submitted to:

mforney@columbiaheightsmn.gov
Bid Price for a Partial Deconstruction: $6,995, 50% of which is due with this signed
agreement. Final payment to Better Futures is due within 30 days of project completion.
Better Futures Minnesota is a 501c3 Non-Profit Social Enterprise and the customer is eligible to
claim all materials harvested for re-use as a tax-deductible donation. (Not applicable for
government entities.) For any donation surpassing $5,000 in value the customer is required by
the IRS to secure an independent appraisal. The appraiser’s fee is not included in this bid
price nor is the appraisal part of this agreement.
Why Throw Away a Building?
o Every ton of building material buried in landfills emits 1.35 metric tons of carbon dioxide
(CO2).
o Material reuse and the method of deconstruction generates net zero emissions of CO2.
o The impact of Better Futures’ building material stewardship work in 2023 was equal to
taking 1,600 cars of the road for a year.
