The rogram represents a cooperative effort to address this problem, in-
volv ng not only the City of Saint P ul through its housing inspection

owne s aware of the many resources silable for paying for the energy
impr vements.

2.0 PROJ CT INFORMATION
'
2.1 Prob em statement (Describe the problem this projact is expected to
addr ss. ) .
Minn sota Statutes section 116J.27 S bd. 3 requires that all residential rental
prop rty meet certain minim�an energy conservation standards. These standards were to
be forced by Department of Energy nd Economic Development (DEED) , but due to
fun 'ng cuts from the 1985 Legislatu e DEED (now the Energy Division of the
Dep rtment of Public Service) is no onger able to carry out any enforcement
act' ities).
2.2 Proj ct objectives, includinq antitative indicators, Buch as numbers
ot omes or businesses served.
To ommence enforcement procedures n all cases initiated during the winter of
19 -87 which have not come into co pliance voluntarily and to bring at least 80
percent of them into compliance whi e continuing enforcement action on the others.
To investigate 100 new cases or as any as are generated by the complaints we
re eive. .
To send orders on all properties f nd in noncompliance. .
To stimulate voluntary compliance ' th energy standards through the presence of an
es ablished enforcement program. e reports of compliance submitted by the Energy
Re ource Center requesting energy ompliance certificates in conjunction with their
Pr ject Insulate will provide some evidence that this is being accomplished.
To make an assessment of the long erm effects of bringing properties into energy
co pliance through this program in order to determine whether or not energy
� en orcement should become a peiman nt part of the City's housing code program.

The C'ty of Saint Paul has secured fun s for the in-kind City match through the
Housi g Complaint budget of the Divisi n of Public Health for 1988. (See attached
total budget for the section. )
In ad ition, funding has been requeste from Northern States Power for $22,290 worth
of en rgy sudits to be performed on re tal properties. (See attached NSP letter).
The S int Paul City Council, acting as the Community Energy Council has designated
$30,0 0 to finance the staffing costs for this program.
4.0 Appli ant experience. (If appr priate, describe applicant's past or
curre t experience in conductin enerqy-related community programs. )
The f rst year of operation of the Sa nt Paul Rental Energy Efficiency Enforcement
(SPRE E) Program in 1986-87 accomplis ed the establishment of the program and basis
for ntinuation. Last winter was an unusually warm one for Minnesota and because
SPREE cases are complaint generated, the caseload was a light one. This created a
good pportunity to begin the program making it essier to identify and resolve
diffi ulties in the operation before oo many cases were affected. The 1987-88
seas should operate more snoothly a d the City is in the position to handle a more
usua level of complaints should they materialize.
The o critical areas to be dealt wi h in 1988 are the enforcement procedures for
thos who were issued orders in 1987 ut did not comply and evaluation of the program
in t e areas of energy savings based n improvements and the impact on rents in
prop rties where compliance occurred. Both areas require a full year's experience
whic we should .have starting in 1988
5.0 Eval ation (Describe how applic nt wfll evaluate whether objectives have
been met and how energy savinga will be evaluated. )
The rimary evaluation criteria for termining whether or not the program should be _
cont nued are the effects of bringing a property into compliance with the energy
cons rvation standards. If these ef ects are positive on �lance, changes can be
made to improve the compliance rate. Comparison of before and after consumption
reco ds will be used along with degr e day records to determine the energy savings
real zed. Follow up interviews with the owners will be used to determine the cost of
the mprovements and with the tenant to determine the effect on rents.

Re: Resolution relating t the state energy grant
We are applying for a $3 , 000 grant from the Minnesota
D partment of Public Service Community Energy Council
p ogram. $189,276 of those unds have been reserved for
t e City of Saint Paul. In .F. 87-508, the City Council
d clared its intent to apply for $30, 000 of those dollars
f r continuation of the SPRE E program. In order for that
a plication to be considered by the state the Council must
p ss a resolution which acce ts the grant and authorizes a
g ant agreement with the sta e. The attached proposed
r solution does just that, c ntingent upon the approval of
t e grant. Furthermore it i cludes the budgetary "amendment
r quired to receive the fund . This will save our having
t go through this process f r a second time when the grant
i approved.
