discussed. Councilmember Christianson suggested the idea be presented sometime in <br />the coming months to Council so it can be digested and discussed with the <br />Commission members. Chair Sagstetter suggested working more on specific metrics <br />for the calculations and working through that as a commission as a next step. <br />Commissioner Curtis expressed understanding that this discussion would take some <br />time and dialogue with Council and strategic planning to show the value of this <br />information for the community. The value of carbon can be subjective but there is <br />existing data to help evaluate this including utilities organizations, MMPA and others. <br />The goal is to focus on Minnesota to keep the discuss more relevant. <br />Councilmember Christianson asked if any other Minnesota cities have determined a <br />similar cost to carbon for comparison, Commissioner Curtis is going to look into <br />this further and utilize CSM contacts. Commission Curtis hopes this can take our <br />commission to the next level and be a leader related to sustainability rather than <br />focusing only on small projects. The goal is to meet with Council sometime soon, <br />perhaps early 2021 since there will be a new councilmember sworn in at that time. <br />Commissioner Steinbeck suggested the commission have a work session to discuss <br />this in more detail and ensure everyone understands the details and is on the same <br />page. Commissioner Herbert expressed the need to better explain and educate <br />everyone (including commission members) about this topic, which would be helpful <br />for councilmembers as well. The group agreed there is a need for another meeting to <br />get the commission members on the same page and discuss in more detail. This will <br />be scheduled before the next meeting. <br />Next Meeting Agenda Items (Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at 8:00 a.m.) <br />Discuss the cost of carbon and make a plan to meet with Council <br />Announcements <br />None <br />8.
