<br /> <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION <br /> <br /> <br />Meeting Date: February 23, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br />Resolution-Authorizing Participation in the 2021-2022 GreenCorp’s Program <br /> <br /> <br />OVERVIEW: <br /> <br />In front of you this evening is a Resolution to authorize staff submitting an application to be a <br />GreenCorp host site for the 2021-2022 program year. <br /> <br />Minnesota GreenCorp is an AmeriCorp Program coordinated by the Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency (MPCA). The goal of MN GreenCorp is to preserve and protect Minnesota’s environment <br />while training a new generation of environmental professionals. <br /> <br />The City of St. Anthony applied each year since 2012 and was awarded a GreenCorp member for the <br />2012-2013, 2015-2016 and 2018-2019 program years. We were also awarded a GreenCorp member <br />for 2020-2021 but had to unfortunately withdraw our application due to staffing changes. With the <br />assistance of the GreenCorp member, the City has established several sustainable programs that will <br />continue to benefit the City for many years to come. The GreenCorp member would be compensated <br />by the MPCA and St. Anthony would be responsible for supervision and office space. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />23
