    Assessing Energy Efficiency Alternatives in North St. Paul
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) Abreu, Joao; Prebich, Tom; Schmidt, Peter
    This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. The City of North St. Paul is unique in that it operates its own electric utility, in cooperation with Minnesota Municipal Power Agency. The city sought assistance investigating and providing information to residents, businesses, and elected officials about alternative energy and energy conservation initiatives, as well as identifying strategies for dedicating electric utility revenue toward green energy initiatives such as wind, solar, and geothermal. North St. Paul Electric Utility Director Brian Frandle partnered with five teams of students in PA 5271: Energy and Environmental Policy, to investigate such opportunities. A memo and presentation prepared by student group 1 are available. A video produced by the students is available at https://youtu.be/weSVDRS0Ssc. (Student deliverables from the other four student teams are catalogued separately.).

    Performance Management at the City of North St Paul
    (Resilient Communities Project (RCP), University of Minnesota, 2013) An, N.; Crink, B.; Korpela, J.; Moore, C.
    This project was completed as part of the 2013-2014 Resilient Communities Project (rcp.umn.edu) partnership with the City of North St. Paul. After hiring a new city manager, the City of North St. Paul was interested in staff satisfaction and workplace culture projects. Project lead Jason Ziemer collaborated with students in Dr. Stacy Doepner-Hove’s course, HRIR 8034: Employee Development–Creating a Competitive Advantage, to address these new initiatives. The students conducted research on performance management systems, and offered recommendations for the City based on this research. Their recommendations focused on goal setting, job performance evaluation, rewards and recognition, and communication. This is one of five reports completed by student teams on this topic for this course. The final report and a poster summarizing the work of all five groups are available.
