From the September 9, 2020 agenda now online at the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board:
Executive Order 19-28 directs the Environmental Quality Board to convene the Interagency Pollinator Protection Team (IPPT) to “provide operational support, ensure interagency coordination, develop cross-agency policies and programs, and report on progress toward statewide goals in a report to the EQB by December 1 of each year.” In addition, the Executive Order 19-28 directs the EQB to develop a civic engagement framework consistent with the vision for One Minnesota, to ensure public participation in pollinator policy and program development, and to build cross-sector relationships and partnerships. The pollinator annual report and the civic engagement framework will be presented for consideration and approval by the EQB in November 2020
Here's the draft of the 2020 Pollinator Annual Report and the Civic Engagement Process framework from the agenda packet:
