As mentioned in README, treasury-crypto is private for now. So, is it possible to run TreasuryCoin locally at present? Thanks!

There are almost no unit tests covering treasury functionality.
Probably some framework should be developed to be able to test different states of treasury epoch.

The implementation of the distributed key generation scheme which is currently placed in CommitteeMember (and DistrKeyGen class it treasury-crypto) probably needs to be reworked. There are a lot of unnecessary, complex code.
First of all it should not hold private keys of committee members and probably it is a good idea to integrate this functionality completely into the TreasuryState.

An investigation on the better architechture is needed

In some cases, when the info from past treasury epochs is needed, it is retrieved directly from the blockchain that is stored on disk. It is very inefficient and can fail under huge load.
In many cases, this information can be extracted only one time and cached for future use, probably even before it is really needed.
This mostly affects generation of randomness which requires actions of the committee members from the previous epochs.
