Top issues during term (8)(Environment)
Urban heat island sensor network
$747,450 in federal grant funding, no county match indicated.
Creation of Environmental Services Department
County Manager Becker called it essentially budget-neutral — no direct levy impact, just a couple of leadership positions to be approved later.
Environmental center hazardous waste collection
No direct county cost discussed; program funded through Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy.
MPCA Draft Resource Management Report (90% diversion by 2045)
If adopted as policy, leaders warned it could require massive new county spending and effectively 'bankrupt' the counties, since there is no funding source or landfill capacity to replace the current system.
County building energy use and renewables
Past efficiency work saves about $2 million a year in utility costs.
Chloride and water quality
Cutting salt use saves real money — the county is buying about $600,000 worth this winter.
Countywide organics recycling rollout
No direct county cost discussed; program funded through Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy.
Environmental Response Fund extension
Millions in continued funding for redevelopment projects.
