Olmsted County board elects chair and vice chair; approves consent agenda
Summary
At its organizational meeting the Olmsted County Board of Commissioners elected Mark Tyne as chair and Dave Senjem as vice chair by voice vote and approved the consent agenda, which included permits, agreements and routine administrative items.
The Olmsted County Board of Commissioners elected Commissioner Mark Tyne as chair and Commissioner Dave Senjem as vice chair during the board’s organizational meeting. Both nominations were made from the floor and approved by voice vote.
After organizational business, the board approved a multi‑item consent agenda covering routine administrative actions. Items listed on the consent agenda included approving minutes from a prior meeting, a gambling permit for Upper River Ducks Unlimited, sale of county‑owned property, an equal‑opportunity policy statement, adoption of the 2025 operating rules and guidelines for the county board, the Southeast Adult Mental Health Initiative Compact and bylaws, 2025 purchase‑of‑service agreements, a revised agreement with the Minnesota Department of Revenue for collection of local transit sales tax, designation of an official publication for county projects, and renewal of a professional services agreement with Winona Umped County (as listed during the meeting).
All consent‑agenda items were approved in a single voice vote. No members of the public spoke during the public‑comment period; the board then opened and closed a public hearing on the CIP with no speakers and proceeded to take votes on organizational and CIP business.
The meeting also included ceremonial oaths for newly sworn commissioners prior to the organizational votes.
