The Hennepin County Board voted to approve item 10A, an agreement with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to host an AmeriCorps member from Minnesota GreenCorps for the period Sept. 16, 2024, to Aug. 12, 2025.
"We just discussed this last week," Chair Irene Fernando said before the board proceeded to a recorded voice vote; the chair stated the result as "6 in favor and 1 opposed." The transcript records a procedural hiccup in which the vote was taken twice without an initial motion and second; the chair corrected the record and the board completed the approval.
