Resolution No. 2021-114
Approving Agreement for Energy Assistance Program with Minnesota Department of
Commerce
Whereas, the Energy Assistance Program (Program) through the Minnesota Department of
Commerce helps pay for electric and gas utility costs for income-qualified households; and
Whereas, in 2021 the Program added water and wastewater utilities to its offerings due to federal
funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021; and
Whereas, the City of Fridley (City) provides water and wastewater utility services to residents and
issues utility bills based on utility usage per quarter; and
Whereas, the City Council finds it prudent for the City to partner with the Minnesota Department
of Commerce by enrolling in the Program; and
Whereas, enrolling as a vendor in the Program will allow Fridley residents to apply for
reimbursement of their water and wastewater utility bills if they meet income requirements.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby authorizes the
execution of the agreement for the Energy Assistance Program with the Minnesota Department
of Commerce to enroll the City of Fridley as a vendor in the Low-Income Household Water
Assistance Program.
nd
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 22 day of November,
2021.
