Background/Discussion The Energy City Commission has 11 members who promote Elk River as a hub of energy technology, energy manufacturing, energy demonstrations,recycling, use of green products, and the adoption of sustainable living practices. The Commission created a 10-year Action Plan in 2014 and has since updated it to better meet the goals and expectations of the group. Many of the goals have been accomplished and staff continues working on better ways to track city accomplishments. The ECC is looking for more direction and clear goals from City Council and Council expectations for the Commission.The Action Plan has been shared with the City Council and city department directors in the past and it's important to understand the long-term objectives in the planning and budgeting process. The ECC feels the Council would benefit by having some detailed discussion on the goals, objectives, and budgeting process prior to finalizing the 2019 city budget. The ECC would welcome any recommendations Council would provide as they pertain to goals, tracking metrics, and budgeting process. The Action Plan has been shared with city department directors to get their feedback on items that affect their departments. The Commission members are very passionate about Energy City and have expressed their willingness to meet more frequently and spend more time on city projects. Staff is looking for more direction and desired outcomes from City Council.
