OTTER TAIL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Dated: August 10, 2021 By: _____________________________________________ Attest____________________________________ Leland R. Rogness, Board of Commissioners Chair Nicole Hansen, Clerk STATE OF MINNESOTA ) ) COUNTY OF OTTER TAIL ) I, Nicole Hansen, the County Administrator, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution is a true and correct copy of the resolution presented to and adopted by Otter Tail County at a duly authorized meeting therefore held on the tenth day of August, 2021. ________________________________ Nicole Hansen, Clerk MEMORANDUM DATE August 4, 2021 TO Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners FROM Rena Simon, Recycling Manager CC Wayne Stein, Otter Tail County Auditor & Treasurer RE Hook Truck Purchase BACKGROUND As past practice, Solid Waste trucks have been scheduled for replacement at or near 300,000 miles. It was expected to have a truck from the Recycling Department fleet reach that milestone in 2021 as recognized in a 2021 capital improvement item. We currently have one truck over 315,000 miles and two others hovering around 300,000 miles. Our last truck purchase was for a packer truck. Staff have been impressed with the Freightliner M2 112 for that application. For ease in parts and maintenance, it is recommended to purchase another Freightliner M2 112 with an automatic transmission for the hook lift application along with an Ampliroll hook lift, with which our drivers/operators are familiar. Both truck chassis and hook lift include standard safety equipment and are on Minnesota State Contract. Pricing attached may vary slightly to actual costs due to minor details but substantially represents the truck and hook lift to be purchased. Instead of trading a truck in at this time, there will be an opportunity to use a truck from the Recycling Department fleet for transfer station operations and as a back-up for other Solid Waste Department operations. $180,000 was budgeted for the purchase of a hook truck in 2021. Minnesota State Contract price for truck chassis and hook lift comes in at $117,221 and $47,250.71, respectively, for a total of $164,471.71. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Solid Waste Department to purchase a hook truck (truck chassis and hook lift) through the state contract as described herein.

Raw Digital Elevation Models (DEM): The LiDAR vendor will provide raw DEM’s (1,000 x 1,000-meter tiles). The IWI will mosaic the DEM tiles together to create a continuous surface for participating Minnesota watershed districts and counties. Expected delivery is fall 2022. B. 1-Foot Contours (IWI): The Lidar QL1 level and its corresponding vertical root mean square error will allow for the development of 1-foot contours based on 1-meter raw DEM’s. Expected delivery spring 2023. C. LiDAR Intensity Images (Vendor): Black and white images of the laser pulse return frequency used as an aid in feature detection and extraction. D. Lidar Point Cloud Classification (Vendor): The United States Geological Survey Lidar Base Specification at https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/ss/lidar-base- specification-tables define the minimum LiDAR Point Cloud classifications as indicated in Table 5 below. Table 5: Minimum Light Detection and Ranging Data Classification Scheme. Code Description 1 Processed, but unclassified. 2 Bare earth. 7 Low noise. 9 Water. 17 Bridge deck. 18 High noise. 20 Ignored ground (typically break-line proximity). 21 Snow (if present and identifiable). 22 Temporal exclusion (typically non-favored data in intertidal zones). In addition to the required minimum classification the following added point feature/classes will be delivered by the LiDAR vendor: • 3 - Low Vegetation. • 4 - Medium Vegetation. • 5 - High Vegetation. • 6 - Building. Otter Tail County LiDAR Data Acquisition Agreement 2021JPA-03: July 23, 2021 7 E. 3-D Hydro Break-lines (Vendor): The DEM will include polygons depicting edge‐of‐water for waterbodies with a surface area of ≥ 3/4 acres and for streams and rivers with a 30-meter nominal width. F. Hydro-conditioning DEMs (IWI): Raw DEMs will be hydro-conditioned (https://ptmapp.bwsr.state.mn.us/files/DEM-Hydrologic-conditioning-Steps-FINAL.pdf) to account for subsurface features such as culverts and to delineate areas that do not contribute to the downstream flow of surface water (non-contributing areas). LiDAR sensors cannot penetrate the earth’s surface and hence all roads and railways with culverts, as well as structures like bridges and dams, are impediments to surface water-flow when modeled across digital elevation surfaces. Hydro-conditioned DEM’s have these impediments (digital dams) removed and allow for better hydrology and hydraulic studies, hydro-terrain analysis, and hydrography data development (i.e., watercourses and watersheds). G. Building Footprints (Vendor): A polygon GIS shapefile depicting footprints of existing buildings will be created. The polygons are derived from the additional Lidar point cloud class 6 - Building. H. Farmstead Ring Dikes (Vendor): A GIS shapefile to highlight the location of approximately 300 ring dikes that have been co-funded by the RRWMB will be created. 161 ST.

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA $52.2 Billion FY2022-23 (two-year) State General Fund Budget $2.3 Billion for new uses focus on COVID Recovery & Equity; Budget includes increased funding for Counties Minnesota lawmakers completed adoption of a $52.2 billion biennial budget on June 30, just hours before some parts of state government were set to temporarily shut down. Chapter 14, 1st Special Session of 2021, the Omnibus Tax Bill, was the final bill to pass in the early morning hours of July 1. The House then adjourned the 1st Special Session sine die, while the Senate continued in session to consider gubernatorial appointments. Governor Walz signed all the bills into law. The enacted $52.2 billion budget for FY2022-23 reflects a 3.4% increase over projected spending under prior law, and a 9.4% increase over the FY2020-21 biennium. In addition to a projected surplus of $1.672 billion (February Forecast), the budget uses $692 million of one-time federal funds in FY2022-23, and another $550,000 million in FY2023-24 to achieve budget balance. The budget changes compared to the prior law base funding are largely focused on pandemic recovery for individuals, businesses, and the economy, including $746 million in tax cuts and $1.562 billion of new spending for FY2022-23. Within that context, there is increased funding for broadband, county aids, health and human service programs, roads and bridges, community corrections, environmental programs and more.

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA The largest amounts for new spending were allocated for E-12 education ($554 million), health and human services ($283 million), transportation and transit ($220 million), and business relief and workforce ($130 million). Beyond these amounts, an additional $250 million has been set-aside for Frontline Worker Pay. County governments will also benefit from various non-general fund changes, including for environmental, transportation, and health and human service programs. The biggest exception to the overall good news for counties was the failure to approve a bonding bill. Although even-year bonding bills tend to be smaller, Minnesota still faces significant infrastructure challenges at both the state and local levels. Resumption of the historical pattern of passing major bonding bills in even-years, followed by smaller bills in biennial budget sessions is essential to addressing the growing backlog of public infrastructure needs while also maintaining steady flow of projects for private providers. State Budget, Page 3 of 3 STATE BUDGET OVERVIEW BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA Structurally Balanced – Healthy State Budget For FY 2024-25, projected current spending ($54.6 billion) slightly exceed projected current revenues ($54.2 billion), not counting inflation or one-time federal funds. As such, there is some risk of longer-term budget instability, especially if there is a sustained growth in inflation pressures. On the other hand, the budget maintains a healthy Budget Reserve. Further, recent state revenue collections have exceeded projected collections by over $2.0 billion, suggesting the 2022 session may begin with more positive budget news. And, the state has yet to appropriate roughly $1.2 billion of the $2.8 billion of ARP State Fiscal Recovery Funds. Budget Agreements Reached Despite Major, Ongoing Policy Differences The budget decisions, however, do not fully capture the depth of the political and policy differences that influenced 2021 deliberations. Most significantly, the ongoing COVID pandemic meant the unprecedented challenge of conducting all legislative business remotely up until the final weeks of June (1st Special Session) when the State Capitol reopened for the first time in over one year. Continuation of the COVID Peacetime Emergency and executive actions became a major point of contention, along with differences over the need for police reforms, racial and economic equity, and energy and climate policy. With Minnesota being the only state legislature with split party control in a highly polarized national political context, each side proposed substantially different policy changes not supported by the other side. Ultimately, there was bi-partisan agreement to end the COVID Peacetime Emergency but no significant changes to election laws, clean car making authority, or expansion of earned sick time or paid family and medical leave. There were some changes to policing practices, although far fewer than proposed. Similarly, the House proposed more aggressive changes related to climate and energy policy, environmental response and regulations, permanent transportation financing increases, and upper income and corporate tax increases that did not get traction with the Senate majority. Summarized in greater detail below are the budget and policy actions most relevant to counties, with emphasis on MICA member county priorities. Overall, key successes for member counties include: • Continued funding for County Program Aid, and increased funding for other county aids • Extension of COVID era health and human services waivers • County hold-harmless for repayment of IMD billing errors • Increased funding for county and local road and bridge projects • Increased funding for community corrections and county probation officer reimbursement • Increased funding for SCORE grants, landfill post-closure care, and AIS as well as increased ground water protections and funding for replacing non-compliant rural septic systems. The Legislature reconvenes in regular session January 30, 2022, with a Special Session likely in September. Tax and Fiscal, Page 1 of 4 2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION REPORT TAX AND FISCAL POLICY BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA INTRODUCTION The House and Senate took two different approaches to state tax policy in 2021. The House proposed roughly a billion of tax relief offset by a similar amount of tax increases on corporations, capital gains, and higher income households. The Senate proposed largely one-time reductions related to federal tax conformity (also in House bill). Chapter 14, the enacted Omnibus Tax Bill, reduces state tax revenue by $746 million for FY2022-23, and increases state aids and refunds by $74.4 million, with much of that being allocated to counties. $670 million, or 90 percent, of the revenue reduction is due to federal tax conformity, such as for PPP loan forgiveness and 2020 unemployment benefits. , CHAPTER 14, 1ST SS OF 2021, OMNIBUS TAX BILL Aids & Credits (Article 7) $20 Million Homeless Prevention Aid, Status Quo for County Program Aid (CPA) • $20 million is appropriated for youth Homeless Prevention Aid to counties beginning in CY2023 (one year delayed from original House proposal) and going through CY2028. Roughly 5% of the funds are allocated to ensure a ‘floor’ amount for each county, with the remaining funds annually distributed based on each counties’ share of the number of students experiencing homelessness over the previous three years. Broad allowable uses are outlined in Article 7, Section 3. • $29.3 million for grants to 13 counties to pay property tax refunds due from counties and underlying taxing districts resulting from Enbridge Energy’s successful challenge of its 2012-2018 state assessed liquid pipeline valuations. The Revenue Department is directed to review the assessment process. • Other changes include: o $5.0 million one-time to hold-harmless city LGA amounts for Pay 2022 compared to 2021; work groups are expected to review LGA and CPA formulas during legislative interim. o Higher PILT payments—equal to 1.5 percent of appraised value—for certain existing and new lands within Lake Vermillion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park Property Tax Law Changes (Article 6) New Levy Authorities, Lower Business Property Tax • Authorizes the creation of Fire Protection districts with levy authority (Section 1). • Authorizes voluntary energy improvement districts (Sections 15 – 16) • Delays the filing deadline for disabled veterans homestead and homestead applications to December 31 (Sections 4, 5, and 8). • Section 7 modifies the 4d low-income housing classification by freezing the 1st tier break at $100,000 value for 2022 and 2023, allowing an annual inflation adjustment thereafter; current law class rates are maintained. Section 19 requires a 4d affordable housing study. Truth-in-Taxation Notice & Hearings Changes Chapter 14 contains one of the TnT-notification and public hearing changes originally proposed by the House Tax Chair Paul Marquart, with a delayed implementation. Beginning with taxes payable 2023: Tax and Fiscal, Page 2 of 4 TAX AND FISCAL POLICY BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA • County auditors must prepare a separate supplemental budget information document (see Article 6, section 12) containing the same information, in the same format as reported to MDE for the school district and to the State Auditor for the City or County of the taxpayer receiving the notice. As enacted, Chapter 14: • Does not require a preliminary public hearing prior to setting a preliminary proposed maximum levy. • Does not establish a single Property Taxpayers Day with all county, city, and school district hearings on the same night. Lower Property Taxes for Businesses, Veterans • $20.1 million annually to lower State General Tax for businesses by increase MV exclusion to $150,000 from $100,000 beginning with taxes payable 2023 (Section 9 and 10) • $4.7 million annually to increase Homeowner and Renter property tax refunds for veterans by excluding veteran disability compensation when calculating household income for those programs (section 14). Tax Increment Financing Law Changes (Article 9) • Allows cities to temporarily redirect unobligated tax increment for development projects involving construction and the expectation of job creation, to make equity investments as necessary to make such construction happen. • Authorizes spending tax increment outside a district to assist with owner-occupied housing. Construction Materials Sales Tax (Article 4) Exempts Materials Purchased for Construction of Public Safety Facilities from Sales Tax Provides an upfront, prospective refund exemption for sales tax paid on the purchase of construction materials for public safety facilities, as well as retroactive exemptions for similar local projects in six cities. Counties will continue to pay significant amounts in state sales tax on materials purchase for road and bridge and general construction materials. Local Option Sales Tax (Article 8) Expands LOST Authority—14 Cities and 3 Counties Consistent with the trend of declining general purpose aid levels and increased local sales taxes, Chapter 14 authorizes/expands local sales tax authority for 14 cities (Cloquet, Edina, Fergus Falls, Grand Rapids, Hermantown, Litchfield, Little Falls, Maple Grove, Moorhead, Oakdale, St. Cloud, St. Peter, Staples, Wadena, Waite Park, and Warren) and three counties (Carlton, Itasca, and Mille Lacs). State Tax Law/Revenue Changes (Article 1) Full Federal Tax Conformity PPP Loans, 2020 Unemployment Benefits & More The focus of the final tax agreement (Chapter 14) federal conformity of COVID related provisions, as well as selected state policy priorities, including: • full federal tax conformity for PPP loan forgiveness and unemployment benefits up to $10,200 in 2020 • Establishes a volunteer driver income tax subtraction for the difference between the value of allowable mileage reimbursement paid to the driver and the value of the federal deduction (section 8) • Establishes a Film Production Tax Credit (sections 9 and 14) • Creates and Minnesota Housing Infrastructure Tax Credit (sections 13, 15) and Tax Credit Contribution Account (section 16) • Clarifies section 179 expensing (section 17) Miscellaneous Provisions, Article 11 Miscellaneous Tax and Unrelated End-of-Session Negotiations As the last bill to pass in special session, Chapter 14 contained a variety of late compromises. Selected provisions from Article 11 includes: • A prohibition on sitting members of the legislature accepting employment as a lobbyist. • Creation of a Tax Expenditure Review Commission to review each state tax expenditure at least once every ten years, with an annual report to legislature reflecting the previous year’s results. Tax and Fiscal, Page 3 of 4 TAX AND FISCAL POLICY BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA • Appropriates up to $3.0 million annually through 2036 for an Oriented Strand Board (OSB) Production Incentive. • Amends Solid Waste Management Tax (SWMT) to align the calculation of the tax on construction debris from ‘self-haulers’ with the parallel calculation for commercial generators (section 19) • Amends the definition of “other iron bearing material” in excludes that material from the calculation of supplemental state aid to taconite production areas (sections 20-23) • Establishes background check requirements (fingerprinting) for state, county, contract employees and others who access federal tax information as part of their work (section 24) • Section 36 continued selected COVID Public Health Disaster Response actions that had been previously part of Governor Executive Orders under the Peacetime Emergency, including: o Allowing the Commissioners of Public Health or Human Services to declare a public health disaster, extending no later than the end of the federal public health emergency o Flexibility to reassign state employees related to pandemic response actions through August 1 o certain actions to facilitate the recovery of unemployment insurance through August 1 o continuation of certain COVID testing and vaccination response actions. • Section 38 creates the Frontline Worker Pay Working Group charged with recommending – by September 6 - how to allocate $250 million of State Fiscal Recovery Funds • Appropriates $6.2 million for project development of land bridge over I-94 in St. Paul State Bonding No Bonding Bill; $24 Million for Targeted Community Capital Projects Chapter 14, sections 10 & 37, provide $24 million for a Targeted Community Capital Project Grant Program, equitably divided between Greater Minnesota and the Metro area. The competitive capital grants are to be awarded by DEED to non- profits or government entities (counties) that provide, increase, or expand services to under- served communities or economically dis- advantaged groups. Priority is for applicants who do not have a history of receiving state capital grants, among other criteria. The maximum grant is $1.5M and may require a local match. Business COVID Relief & Recovery (Chapter 10, 1st SS of 2021) $150M for COVID Relief Grants and Business (Re)Development Chapter 10--the Omnibus Jobs, Workforce, and Economic Growth—provides $150 million of one- time funding for additional covid business relief and recovery, to be administered through two programs. While the counties will not receive funds for local grants, these state programs will minimize demands for county ARP funds by providing a key statewide approach for impacted businesses. • $80 million for Mainstreet Economic Revitalization Loan Program intended to address the greatest economic development and redevelopment needs that have arisen since March 15, 2020. o Provides up to 80% loan guarantees for up to 15 years, with a non-state match at 200 percent of the grant amount. o Loan guarantees limited to $2 million and 15 years. • $70 million for Mainstreet COVID-19 Relief Grant Program, ½ for Minnesota Initiative Funds to serve areas outside of the seven-county metro area, and ½ administered through DEED partner organizations within the metro. Grants are limited to $750,000 or 30% of the project costs, and 15 years.

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA State Broadband Grant Funding (Chapter 10) $70 Million – Federal ARP Capital Projects Chapter 10 requires the DEED Commissioner to apply, by September 30th, to the U.S. Treasury requesting $70 million of Minnesota’s $179 million ARP Capital Projects allocation. If granted, $35 million in each FY2022 and FY2023 is for the State Broadband Grant Program. The Commissioner may temporarily modify program standards to the degree necessary to comply with U.S Treasury standards, such as higher internet upload/download speeds (100/100 or 100/20 rather than 25/3). Chapter 3, the Agriculture and Rural Finance bill provided $350,000 annually for essential State Office of Broadband base funding. What Did Not Happen? The list of actions not taken includes a variety of MICA platform items, as well as issues that emerged during session that impact counties, including: • No state tax revenue increases • No changes, increases/decreases in County Program Aid. A technical change appropriates a set-aside for public defender costs directly to the Public Defender rather than MMB does not impact county CPA allocations. • No funding for counties to administer COVID business relief grants • No increases to Deputy Registrar Fees, although an independent study is expected to capture an estimate of increases work and costs due to MNDRIVE Human Services, Page 1 of 12 2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION REPORT HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA INTRODUCTION Minnesota lawmakers completed a new $52 billion two-year budget on Wednesday, June 30, with just hours to spare before parts of state government were set to temporarily shut down. Governor Tim Walz wasted no time, quickly signing the remaining budget bills into law before midnight on July 1. Nearly $800 million in federal COVID-19 relief dollars will be spent in the next four years on health and human services. Altogether, the health and human services spending will grow to just shy of $14 billion in the two-year budget cycle that started July 1, including a mix of both state general fund money and federal funding. BILLS PASSED IN THE SPECIAL SESSION Chapter 7, 1st SS of 2021 Health and Human Services The Health and Human Services bill passed both floors on Saturday, June 26. The Senate bill, authored by Senator Michelle Benson (R-Ham Lake), passed the Senate on a 62-4 vote. The bill was immediately sent to the House where the bill, authored by Representative Tina Liebling (DFL- Rochester), passed the House floor on a vote of 69- 56. Governor Walz signed the bill into law on June 29 as SS Chapter 7 (Summary, Spreadsheet) County Priorities IMD Accounting Error: The agreement includes $8.328 million (FY21) to reimburse counties for the county share of DHS errors related to substance use disorder services within institutions of mental disease (IMDs). (Article 16, Section 24) Codification of waivers: The four initiatives in the county waiver bill, championed by Senator Carla Nelson and Representative Dan Wolgamott (SF1324/HF1822), are now law and permanently extended: • Targeted case management: Allows for MA coverage of various forms of case management to be delivered through telehealth (children’s, mental health services, chemical dependency services and SUD services). Other changes include removing the three visits per enrollee per week limit, expanding the provider types eligible to provide telehealth, and making MA coverage consistent in most areas with private sector coverage. Audio-only coverage is still prohibited in the language of this statute but is covered for MA through an expansion of the DHS waivers in a later section through July 1, 2023. (Article 16, Section 11) • Allows for MnCHOICES reassessments to be provided through interactive video or telephone if specified requirements are met. These requirements include if the person’s legal representative and the lead agency case manager both agree there is no change in the person’s condition. The person, or the person’s legal representative can refuse remote assessment any time. If, at any point, a lead agency determines that a face-to-face reassessment is necessary or if there is a need for a change in services, the lead agency shall schedule a face-to-face assessment. (Article 16, Sections 17-19) Human Services, Page 2 of 12 HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA • Modifies housing support absent days by allowing an additional 74 days per incident, not to exceed a total of 92 days in a calendar year when the resident is admitted into a behavioral health facility, hospital, or nursing facility. Counties may apply for an exception through DHS. (Article 13, Sections 57-58) • Eliminating face-to-face orientation for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) and allow agencies to accept MFIP applications over the phone: Completing applications over the phone means major time savings for residents, as well as savings in transportation time and cost. Allowing counties to be able to offer orientation remotely would align these with other economic assistance programs - such as SNAP. Counties are still required to receive a signed written application within 30 days of clients submitting their application remotely and still requires that interviews be conducted. This provision was included in the HHS Policy bill (Chapter 30) passed on May 17 (see above). Adult Mental Health Initiative (AMHI) grants: AMHIs will receive an additional $3.5 million (FY22- 23); $1.75 million (FY24) in funding. The final deal also directs DHS to provide a report to the legislature to reform the funding formula for adult mental health initiatives by February 1, 2022, and prior to implementation of the new formula. The section notes that DHS must consult with stakeholders including AMHIs, counties, tribal nations, mental health providers, and individuals with lived experiences and include their feedback in the report. (Article 11, Section 33) Family First implementation updates to individual treatment plans, residential treatment service reviews, and discharge planning. These sections are effective September 30, 2021. Expires July 1, 2022. $1.331 million (FY22-23) and $2.156 million (FY24- 25) is allocated for implementation purposes. The state, counties, tribes, and stakeholders have worked tirelessly to develop an implementation framework for this federal legislation, recognizing that it is an opportunity to move toward a more equitable delivery of child welfare services in Minnesota. Counties have been engaged in the planning work and believe it is critical to continue so that we can build out our prevention services infrastructure and kinship network in the right way. This investment recognizes some of the anticipated lost federal reimbursements to counties. Case management reform: Minnesota’s human services case management framework has been subject to federal scrutiny, and stakeholders have worked for several years to develop a better structure for uniform billing. This language allows for a uniform statewide rate methodology for counties that contract with third party vendors to perform case management services. While this isn’t the end of case management reform work, counties believe it is an important and timely step forward. County Cost Shift County Cost Shift: Unfortunately, counties did pick up one cost shift related to direct care and treatment: • County Share for Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Hospital (CABHH): 100% when the facility determines that it is clinically appropriate for the client to be discharged. This brings the CABHH facility county cost share in alignment with all of the other Direct Care and Treatment (DCT) services. Cost to counties (“savings to state”) $2.458 million per biennium. Counties have expressed concerns for the last several years about cost shifts related to DCT services. Despite lack of evidence that the cost shifts in other DCT areas are producing better outcomes for individuals, we are disappointed to see this cost shift as it fails to recognize the shortcomings in the continuum of care available that makes efficient discharge from DCT facilities to alternative settings challenging. Human Services, Page 3 of 12 HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA • In the same article, section 2 requires the commissioner to assess the extent to which state operated DCT function as safety net services and report to the Legislature. This provision comes from legislative concerns of how DCT aligns with existing continuum of care. $277,000 (FY22-23). Other Permanent Waivers: Article 1: DHS Health Care Programs: Section 71 (p. 112-113): Adds the following DHS waivers (required to comply with federal law) to the list of waivers that will remain in effect after the peacetime emergency ends. They will remain in effect until federal requirements change, or until a state plan amendment is approved, whichever is later. The intention is that these waivers will be made permanent. • CV15: allowing telephone or video visits for waiver programs • CV24: allowing telephone or video use for targeted case management visits • CV30: expanding telemedicine in health care, mental health, and substance use disorder settings • CV42: implementation of federal changes to SNAP • CV43: expanding remote home and community-based waiver services • CV44: allowing remote delivery of adult day services • CV109: providing a 15% increase for Minnesota Food Assistance Program and MFIP maximum food benefits Section 72 (p. 113): Allows for all waivers that have not been otherwise extended to remain in effect for no more than 60 days after the peacetime emergency ends. Section 73 (p. 114): Allows for CV23 (modifying background study requirements) and any consequent amendments to remain in effect for 365 days after the peacetime emergency ends. Article 6: Telehealth: This article expands on services that can be delivered via telehealth: • Section 1 (p. 182): Establishes requirements for the coverage of services that may be delivered via telehealth for private sector health plans. These changes include expanding providers who can provide telehealth, continued audio- only coverage through July 1, 2023, expanding parity requirements, and setting requirements for equipment and telehealth monitoring services. • Section 6 (p. 191): Makes changes in chapter 245G to permit an assessment for SUD to be delivered via telehealth. • Sections 7-8 (p. 191-195): Clarifies that chemical use assessments and chemical dependency services may be conducted through telehealth. • Section 9 (p. 195): Makes changes to the definition of interactive video when used for relocation targeted case management. • Section 10 (p. 195-199): Removes the requirement for a psychiatric provider, as part of an ACT team, from needing to obtain approval from the commissioner when providing services by telehealth. • Section 11 (p. 199-202): Changes to coverage of telehealth services for public health care programs. Medical assistance coverage requirements are modified for services delivered through telehealth (including health care services, mental health services, chemical dependency services and SUD services).

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA Chapter 8, 1st SS of 2021 Housing/Eviction Moratorium The $125.6 million omnibus Housing Finance and Policy budget bill contains just $10 million in new general fund spending, but it also contains provisions that address short- and long-term needs. Sponsored by Representative Alice Hausman (DFL- St. Paul) and Senator Rich Draheim (R-Mountain Lake), Governor Walz signed the bill into law on June 28 as Chapter 8. (Summary, Spreadsheet) The agreement calls for the issuance of $100 million in housing infrastructure bonds to boost efforts across a range of housing and strengthens local efforts to address housing needs. A portion of the funds will be directed to single-family homes and manufactured home park acquisition and improvement. New general fund spending includes: • $3.25 million for workforce homeownership program • $2.8 million for the housing challenge program • $1.75 million for manufactured home park infrastructure grants • $1 million into the home ownership assistance fund • $1 million to establish a local housing trust fund Eviction Moratorium: The bill ends the Governor’s executive orders that prevent evictions and lease terminations during the COVID-19 Peacetime Emergency and provides an off-ramp to provide protections to tenants and landlords. • A landlord cannot terminate or fail to renew a lease within 105 days of enactment, except in cases where the tenant is endangering others, engaging in certain criminal activities, materially violating the lease or when the tenant requests the termination of the lease. • A landlord cannot file an eviction within 105 days unless the tenant is a danger to others, there is significant property damage, or they engage in criminal activity. • Evictions will be allowed 15 days after enactment for situations where a tenant materially violates the lease. • A landlord is required to provide a notice to a tenant 15 days before filing an eviction if the eviction is for nonpayment of rent during the 105 days following enactment of a law. • If a tenant has not paid rent and refuses to apply for the COVID-19 rental assistance program, a landlord can proceed on an eviction. • Prohibits an eviction for nonpayment of rent against a tenant who has a pending application or rental assistance from the federal COVID-19 emergency rental assistance funding. o The tenant should provide the proof of pending application and any information on the delay of the application to the landlord and to the court if an eviction is filed. The off-ramp is intended to drive Minnesotans to RentHelpMN.org or to call 211 to apply for nearly $700 million in rental assistance that was passed by Congress. It will help Minnesotans who have fallen behind on their rent catch up and will help to ensure that landlords are made whole. Chapter 10, 1st SS of 2021 Jobs and Economic Growth The Jobs and Economic Growth budget bill, sponsored by Senator Eric Pratt (R-Big Lake) and Representative Mohamud Noor (DFL-Minneapolis), was signed into law by Governor Walz on June 30 as Chapter 10.

BILLS PASSED DURING REGULAR SESSION Chapter 30, 2021 Regular Session Policy-Only Health and Human Services On May 17, the last day of the regular legislative session, both bodies passed the policy-only language from the omnibus Health and Human Services bill. The bill was signed into law by Governor Tim Walz on May 25 as Chapter 30. Summary Two county waiver provisions were passed as part of the bill: • Eliminating face-to-face orientation for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) and allow agencies to accept MFIP applications over the phone: Completing applications over the phone means major time savings for residents, as well as savings in transportation time and cost. Allowing counties to be able to offer orientation remotely would align these with other economic assistance programs - such as SNAP. Counties are still required to receive a signed written application within 30 days of clients submitting their application remotely and still requires that interviews be conducted. This was one of the waivers carried in the county-priority bill carried by Senator Carla Nelson (R-Rochester) and Representative Dan Wolgamott (DFL-St. Cloud). • Child Maltreatment Face-to-Face Investigations: Allows for face-to-face contact in response to a report alleging sexual abuse or substantial child endangerment to be postponed for up to five calendar days, if the child is residing in a location that is confirmed to restrict contact with the alleged offender, or the local welfare agency is pursuing a court order for the child’s caregiver to produce the child for questioning. This initiative was led by Sherburne County. It was carried by Representative Wolgamott and Senator Michelle Benson (R-Ham Lake). Other adopted policy of note: • MFIP Reports: Allows County agencies to obtain information by phone or written communication to complete MFIP household report forms, rather than returning an incomplete form. • Substance Use Licensing/County Assessment of Need: Repeals administrative rules requiring an assessment of need for a new chemical Human Services, Page 10 of 12 HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA dependency treatment or rehabilitation program and requiring a county board to submit a statement to the commissioner regarding the need for the new program. Replaces it with a requirement for the applicant to notify the county human services director in writing of its intent to open a new program at least 60 days before submitting a licensure application. The notification must include: o a description of the proposed treatment program; and o a description of the target population to be served by the treatment program. o County human services directors may submit a written statement to DHS regarding the county’s support of or opposition to the opening of the new treatment program. DHS shall consider the county’s written statement when determining whether to issue a license for the treatment program. County human services directors may submit a written statement to DHS regarding the county’s support of or opposition to the opening of the new treatment program. DHS shall consider the county’s written statement when determining whether to issue a license for the treatment program. • Grants for home visiting programs for pregnant woman and families with young children. • Nurse-Family Partnership Programs: MDH shall award expansion grants to community health board and tribal nations to expand existing nurse-family partnership programs. Must be used to start up, expand, or sustain nurse-family partnership programs in the county, reservation, or region to serve families in accordance with the Nurse-Family Partnership Service Office nurse-family partnership model. Priority is given to enrolled providers who accept Medical Assistance. • Medical Cannabis: Commissioner may adopt or amend rules to implement the addition of dried raw cannabis as an allowable form of medical cannabis. • Social and Medical History/Out of Home Placement: Responsible social service agencies must complete each child’s social and medical history. Must work with each child’s birth family, foster family, medical and treatment providers, and school to ensure that the information is up to date. • Social and Medical History/Adoption: The agency must submit the child’s social and medical history to DHS at the time that the agency submits the child’s adoption placement agreement. • Notice of Termination of Social Services: Before case management services will end for a youth who is at least 18 years of age and under 23 years of age, the responsible social services agency shall give the youth written notice that the services shall terminate. The notice must include information about the right to appeal the termination of case management services. • Residential program certifications for compliance with the Family First Prevention Services Act: Adds section establishing certification requirements for children’s residential facilities or child foster residence settings to receive federal Title IV-E funding; outlines the types of facilities and program certifications, certification requirements, trauma-informed care requirements, monitoring and inspection processes, decertification processes, and variances. • Child Protection: o makes changes related to Family First Prevention Services Act implementation o modifies provisions related to child safety and permanency and adoption requirements and procedures o exempts health care professionals from reporting prenatal substance use, in specified circumstances o provides for parent notification of contested case hearings Human Services, Page 11 of 12 HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA o modifies child support guidelines and other child support provisions o removes interest charging requirements for child support judgments • Sex Trafficking and Sexual Exploitation Training: All child protection social workers and social services staff who have responsibility for child protective duties shall complete training implemented by DHS regarding sex trafficking and sexual exploitation of children and youth. • Temporary suspension of a person’s CADI waiver for up to 121 days if they are receiving inpatient or residential treatment. • Governor's Council on an Age-Friendly Minnesota: Continues Governor Walz’s Executive Order 19-38. The Council shall (1) work to advance age-friendly policies; and (2) coordinate state, local, and private partners' collaborative work on emergency preparedness, with a focus on older adults, communities, and persons in zip codes most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Council is extended and will expire October 1, 2022. Note that this date was later extended to June 30, 2024, in the HHS Special Session bill (SS Chapter #7). See below. • Mental Health Uniform Service Standards: Moves various statutes and rules related to mental health service standards into a new chapter 245I; updates, aligns, and streamlines definitions and standards for providing a range of mental health services. • Crisis Response: Modifies provisions related to crisis response services for adults and children by unifying service, eligibility, provider, and staff requirements, adding clinical trainees, adding language to include family members and other third parties, and aligning definitions and other provisions with the mental health uniform service standards established in chapter 245I. • Policy updates for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs). Chapter 17, 2021 Regular Session Pregnant and Postpartum Female Inmates Placement in Community-Based Programs HF1403/SF1315, authored by Senator Mary Kiffmeyer (R-Big Lake) and Representative Jamie Becker-Finn (DFL-Roseville), was signed into law by Governor Walz on May 13 as Chapter 17. The bill authorizes the Commissioner of Corrections to conditionally release: • for up to one year, an inmate who is postpartum and gave birth within eight months of the date of commitment; and • for the duration of the pregnancy and up to one year postpartum, an inmate who is pregnant. The inmate may be conditionally released to community-based programming that provides prenatal or postnatal care, as well as parenting skills, employment, educational, chemical dependency or mental health services. The commissioner must develop policy and criteria to implement this section. By April 1 of each year, the commissioner must report to the Legislature on the number of inmates released and the duration of the release under this section for the prior calendar year.

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA What Did Not Happen? • Metro Housing Demo: An initiative brought forward by MICA to increase the number of housing units as part of the Metro Housing Demo did not make it to the finish line. This proposal would have strategically expanded the program to address increased mental health and substance use disorder supports by adding units and expanding to Carver, Scott and Washington counties. SF1468/HF780 (Draheim/Reyer) was carried into conference committee by the House but ultimately did not survive final negotiations. • Telepresence Task Force: Although language that would have established a task force on creating a person- centered telepresence strategy was included in both SF1160 (Rosen) and the Senate omnibus HHS budget bill, unfortunately the measure was not included in the final agreement. • SUD Reform: Unfortunately, a county priority to allow counties to conduct peer recovery supports and create an MA-billable service for substance use disorder pretreatment coordination unfortunately did not cross the finish line this year. SF1821/HF2115 (Utke/Frederick) was modified to address DHS concerns as it moved through the committee process. We were successful in getting the Senate to include the language as part of its omnibus bill heading into conference committee. Ultimately, however, the provision was not included as part of the final deal. • Three cost shifts averted: Three adult services proposals that counties weighed in on during the regular session did not advance. As part of its omnibus bill, the Senate supported several modifications that would (1) cap disability waiver allocations (Article 14, Section 71), (2) freeze MnCHOICES assessments at 2019 levels (Article 14, Section 14), and (3) impose a county cost share on placements of disabled individuals 18- 27 years of age in certain settings (Article 14, Section 20). These proposals would have resulted in significant cost shifts to counties. Legislators stated their goals were to drive down costs; move individuals into more productive, individualized settings; and push counties to toward these placement options. While these proposals did not move forward, legislation addressing informed choice and new standards for informed decision-making passed (See Article 13). • Nonemergency Medical Transportation (NEMT): One of the recommendations of the Blue-Ribbon Commission on Health and Human Services proposed implementation of a uniform NEMT program. This would have returned NEMT to a single administrator to coordinate the transportation system. Before 2009, the State managed all components of NEMT services; this proposal would have returned the responsibility to the State. Adjournment Governor Walz will call the Legislature back into special session in September to address a plan for the distribution of bonuses for essential workers. The 2022 Legislature convenes on Monday, January 31, 2022.

The bill authorizes the Commissioner of Corrections to conditionally release: • for up to one year, an inmate who is postpartum and gave birth within eight months of the date of commitment; and • for the duration of the pregnancy and up to one year postpartum, an inmate who is pregnant. The inmate may be conditionally released to community-based programming that provides prenatal or postnatal care, as well as parenting skills, employment, educational, chemical dependency or mental health services. The commissioner must develop policy and criteria to implement this section. By April 1 of each year, the commissioner must report to the Legislature on the number of inmates released and the duration of the release under this section for the prior calendar year. No SHIP Reduction: At one point, the Senate proposed a reduction to the SHIP grant program. That proposal was dropped from the final HHS budget bill. Recreational Cannabis: HF600, authored by House DFL Majority Leader (DFL-Golden Valley), passed the floor on a vote of 72-61. Despite 13 hearings in the House, there was no appetite for the Senate to address it this year. Under the proposal, legal limitations would have been placed on the use, possession, and transportation of cannabis and cannabis products and civil penalties for violations would be established. The bill would have allowed a person aged 21 or older to possess: • 2 ounces or less of cannabis in a public place • 10 pounds or less of cannabis in a person’s residence • 8 grams or less of adult-use cannabis concentrate • edible products infused with a total of 800 mg or less of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) • up to eight cannabis plants, of which four or fewer may be mature, flowering plants A Cannabis Management Board with nine members appointed by the Governor would have been created to oversee and regulate the production and sale of adult-use cannabis, adult-use cannabis products, and medical cannabis. The board would have issued 10 different types of licenses for various sectors of the cannabis industry in Minnesota. It would have also established an Office of Social Equity to promote development, stability, and safety in communities that have experienced a disproportionate, negative impact from cannabis prohibition. Local units of government could not have prohibited establishment of a licensed cannabis business, but could have established reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of retail cannabis operations, such as prohibiting a cannabis business “within 1,000 feet of a school, day care, nursing home, union headquarters, house of worship, or the Capitol or Capitol grounds.” Adjournment Governor Walz will call the Legislature back into special session in September to address a plan for the distribution of bonuses for essential workers.

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA INTRODUCTION The legislature did not pass a transportation budget bill within the regular legislative session. Special session negotiations were principally held between transportation chairs, Senator Scott Newman and Representative Frank Hornstein, who worked hard to reach agreement on Chapter 5, 1st SS of 2021. Chapter 5 allocates a $200 million budget target for FY 2022-23, reflecting a largely one-time funding increase to various statewide priorities spanning all modes of transportation. MICA counties will benefit from substantial trunk highway bond and general fund appropriations dedicated to specific projects. The bill does not include language proposed by the Governor, and later adopted by the Senate, that would have shifted responsibility for funding transit guideway capital maintenance and other guideway costs to counties, and no change to distribution of leased motor vehicle sales tax revenues. Chapter 5, 1st Special Session, 2021 $200 Million Increase FY2022-23 Increased Funding for County/Local Roads & Bridges & Transit • $14 million one-time for the Local Bridge Replacement Program (available until FY2025) • $5.5 million one-time for the Local Road Improvement Program (available until FY2025) • $12 million one-time for town roads available until FY2023. • $18 million one-time for small city streets one time appropriation available till FY2023. • $57.5 million one-time for arterial Bus Rapid Transit projects, including but not limited to predesign, design, engineering, environmental analysis and mitigation, right-of-way acquisition, construction, and acquisition of rolling stock (available until FY2025) • An additional $5 million to CSAH in each biennium (from MnDOT/DPS HUTD changes) • $2.598 million in each year of the biennium for costs to reopen all driver’s license exam locations that were closed in 2020 due to COVID. • $2.229 Million in FY2222 and $155,000 in FY2023 for costs of a pilot project for same-day issuance of drivers' licenses and state identification cards. General Fund Appropriations for Designated Projects Funding for MICA County Projects Once again, the process for selecting projects and whether to ‘ear-mark’ funding was a major difference in negotiations, with the Senate preferring to name certain projects and the Department of Transportation and House opposed to that approach. In the end, a letter from the Commissioner in combination with language in Chapter 5 identifies various priority projects, including: • Chisago County – $8 million for US Highway 8, 2 to 4 lane expansions with the project led by Chisago County. If all funding is secured and project development work is completed, construction is anticipated to start in FY2025. • Scott County – US Highway 169, Trunk Highway 282 & County State Aid Highway 9 in Scott County design $2.5 million. If all funding is secured and project development work is completed, construction is anticipated to start in FY2025. • Washington County – $3.5 million for bridge over I-694 to be led by Washington County.

Corrections, Page 1 of 5 2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION REPORT CORRECTIONS AND PUBLIC SAFETY BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA INTRODUCTION From the start of the 2021 legislative session in January, it was clear that the House and Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committees were doing things differently and may have trouble coming to an agreement. The Senate committee started with informational hearings, while the House committee started hearing reform bills (mostly related to law enforcement) early in the session. In the background, the state was still experiencing civil unrest related to the trial of Derek Chauvin, and other use of deadly force encounters with law enforcement during the legislative session. As the first session ended without agreement, it was clear that public safety was going to play a big part in the negotiations during the special session and could be the determining factor as to whether there was a state government shutdown. In the end, an agreement was reached just days before the deadline for the budget bills and the omnibus was passed on June 29, 2021. For anyone that frequents the Capitol, it was clear that both sides gave up a lot of policy positions in order to avoid a shutdown. Chapter 11, 1st Special Session of 2021 Omnibus Public Safety Bill County Probation System Funding and Workgroup Chapter 11 includes increases in pass through funding for county-run probation systems. The Community Corrections Act subsidy will include an additional $2.44 million this biennium and the County Probation Officer reimbursement will include an additional $202,000. The increase is not ongoing and requires a working group report to be presented to the legislature by December 15, 2021. The working group report must include a proposal for sustainable funding of the state’s community supervision delivery systems, plans for future Tribal government supervisions, defined statewide service standards that align with current best practices, and other related supervision recommendations and findings. The working group is established by the Commissioner of Corrections but is running parallel to the Justice Reinvestment Initiative project started by the Council of State Governments towards the end of the regular session. The Council of State Governments will collect data to help develop the working group’s recommendations. Neuropsychological Examination Included in Pre- Sentence Investigation During the 2020 session, a bill was proposed that required judges to order a neuropsychological examination prior to sentencing in cases where a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or fetal alcohol syndrome are present. The fiscal note showed a cost to counties of approximately $8 million. The bill was also discussed during the 2021 regular session, but no funding was anticipated, and the bill did not pass as introduced. The omnibus bill has a provision requiring state court administration to conduct a feasibility study with recommendations on whether the law should be changed to require these examinations and, if so, the situations and conditions under which the examinations should be required, including how to pay for the additional cost. Emergency Communications 911 Telecommunicator Working Group: Establishes a working group to define 911 telecommunicator; recommend training and continuing education requirements for certification of 911 telecommunicators; recommends standards for certification of 911 telecommunicators; and recommends funding options for mandated 911 telecommunicator training.

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA Emergency Response Services - Travis’s Law: Requires 911 operators to refer calls involving mental health crises to mental health crisis teams, where available. Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Policy Changes Body Cameras: The omnibus bill includes significant investments in technology for body camera purchase and maintenance for not only state agents, but also $500,000 each year for grants to local law enforcement agencies for the purchase and maintenance of portable recording systems. Misconduct Report to the POST Board: Local chief law enforcement officers are now required to report more information related to alleged misconduct by peace officers to the POST Board, including data the is defined as private data. Confidential Informant Model Policy: Matthew’s Law: Requires the POST Board to create a comprehensive model policy for the use of confidential informants and learning objectives related to the policy. No Knock Warrant Policies: One of the important reform policies for House DFL creates a process for review and approval of no-knock warrants, as well as a prohibition of their use in drug possession cases. U-VISA Certification Procedures: Requires certifying law enforcement officers to respond to requests for certification forms related to U-Visas within a certain amount of time. U-visas are a special kind of visa for immigrants that are victims of crime and assist law enforcement in their investigations through reporting the crime and giving statements/being available for law enforcement. Law enforcement officials must submit a form attesting to the fact that the victim was cooperative in the investigative effort. Law Enforcement Private Data Expansion: Classifies the personal telephone numbers, home address, and e-mail address of law enforcement as private data. Innovation in Community Safety Grants: Awards grants to organizations in targeted areas that address violence and promote community healing and recovery. Sign and Release Warrants: Creates a new kind of warrant that is intended to decrease high stress traffic stops. If the sign and release warrant is issued, a policy officer would ask the person to sign a citation affirming they understand the need to appear in court and then release them on the scene, hopefully with the knowledge of their next court date. Dissemination of Personal Information About Law Enforcement: Creates a misdemeanor for revealing personal information about a police officer if it poses an imminent and serious threat to the officer’s safety or a gross misdemeanor if the officer “suffers great bodily harm or death as a result of the violation.” Safety in Facilities Bill – Hardel Sherrell Act: Requires the Department of Corrections to make changes to safety standards in licensed facilities. The changes include; updating mental health assessments, screening, medication administration, and discharge planning; sharing relevant inmate health information with medical personnel; prohibiting certain conduct, such as chokeholds; and developing policies to examine circumstances surrounding the death of an individual in custody of the facility. The bill was prompted by the Star Tribune’s “Cruel and Unusual” series and the 50 deaths of incarcerated individuals since 2015.

LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA Other Provisions Criminal Sexual Conduct Taskforce Recommendations: Recommendations from the Criminal Sexual Conduct Working Group have been adopted and passed into the law in this bill. Among the changes is a provision closing a loophole related to mental impairment and voluntary intoxication in sexual assault cases. That provision was heard in response to a Minnesota Supreme Court case that overturned a conviction based on current law that says an intoxicated person is not considered “mentally incapacitated” and unable to consent to a sexual act unless the intoxicating substance was administered to the person without that person's agreement. Under current law, that is true even if the individual was intoxicated to the point where they could not give reasoned consent. Taskforce on Missing and Murdered African American Women: Establishes a Task Force on Missing and Murdered African American Women “to advise the commissioner of public safety and report to the legislature on recommendations to reduce and end violence against African American women and girls in Minnesota.” Office of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Relatives: Establishes an office under the Department of Public Safety dedicated to preventing and ending the targeting of Indigenous women, children, and two-spirited people with the Minnesota Office of Justice Programs. Hometown Heroes Assistance Program: Creates a grant program to assist firefighters who are subject to very high rates of cancer, cardiac issues, and emotional trauma. The grants are for critical care, but the program also creates a statewide Employee Assistance Program for firefighters in Minnesota. Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform: Compromise provision coming from a attempt to overhaul the forfeiture process in 2019 and earlier. The provisions narrow the scope of what vehicles are subject to forfeiture, specifically those involved in felony DWI crimes. It allows a defendant to get their car back if they are participating in the Ignition Interlock program. There are further protections for innocent owners with enhanced due process procedures. Innocent owners can notify prosecutors of the ownership, which shifts the process from the courts to the county attorney’s office. The notice of seizure has been updated to be more understandable. The bill clarifies towing and storage fees and reduces storage fees paid by a defendant in most cases. For controlled substance crimes, a threshold of $1500 was set with an exception for any amount that was used for the purpose of purchasing or selling controlled substances. The funding structure that is currently in place for civil forfeiture is still in place and allows law enforcement and prosecutors to use those funds for routine tasks and as well as training, education, crime prevention, equipment, or capital expenses. Public Safety Funding Judicial Branch: The Judicial Branch saw increases of 2.5% to salaries for Supreme Court Justices, Appellate Court Judges, and District Court judges bringing the total appropriation for compensation increases to approximately $7.260 million. The Legislature also agree to funds a new judgeship in the 5th Judicial District which is located in south- western Minnesota. Other notable items include a $200,000 appropriation for an increase in pay for certified and uncertified court interpreters, as well as $500,000 for courthouse security grants to local governments for improving security infrastructure in courthouses (and requiring a 50% local match for grant funds). Department of Public Safety: DPS received an operating adjustment of 2% in the first year and 2.5% in the second for a total of $3.7 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Specific funding items include: $250,000 each year for two school safety specialists in the school safety center; $400,000for survivor support and prevention grants; $250,000 each year for an antitrafficking investigation coordinator and to implement strategies to combat Corrections, Page 4 of 5 CORRECTIONS BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA sex trafficking; $400,000 each year for innovation in community safety grants; $1 million for additional Violent Crime Enforcement Teams; and funding for the establishment of the Office of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives, Hometown Heroes Assistance Program, and task force on Missing and Murdered African American Women. Peace Officers Standards and Training Board: The POST Board received approximately $2.95 million each year to reimburse local units of governments for training of peace officers. Additionally, there was a continuation of the $6 million per year (ending in 2025) in training assistance that has been named the Philando Castile Memorial Training Fund. Department of Corrections: The DOC received an operating adjustment of $6.6 million in the first year and $13.2 in the second year, which includes a 2.8% increase for compensation. Other proposal funded in the budget include the Healthy Start Act, Community Corrections Act subsidy increases, County Probation Officer reimbursement increases, and additional support services for those transitioning out of prison into the community. Public Defender: The Public Defender’s Office received an increase of $5.13 million in FY 22 and $10.08 million in FY 23 to maintain operations. Disaster Assistance Contingency Account: $30 million will be transferred into the DACA if the balance of the general fund exceeds the closing balance projected at the end of the first special session of 2021. BILLS PASSED DURING REGULAR SESSION Chapter 6 Uniform Recognition and Enforcement of Canadian Orders for Protection Act Chapter 6 allows Minnesota to enforce protection orders issued in Canada while the protected person is in Minnesota. Minnesota already enforces other state orders, as well as federal and tribal government orders. Likewise, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Quebec recognize and enforce Minnesota orders for protection. The bill was signed by the Governor on March 23, 2021 Chapter 13 Appropriations for Costs Related to Civil Unrest The beginning of the regular session was rife with debate related to law enforcement costs for responses to protests. Part of the impetus for the debates was the looming trial of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin who was found guilty of the murder of George Floyd partway through the legislative session. The Governor requested appropriations early in session when the trial dates were set with an expectation of protests and other unrest. It wasn’t until later in session that Chapter 13 was passed and signed giving the state some of the money requested by the Governor. It appropriates $1.5 million in fiscal year (FY) 2021 for public safety assistance related to civil unrest and aid from other states, and $6.3 million for state trooper and Department of Natural Resources conservation officer expenses also related to civil unrest. It was signed by the Governor on April 27, 2021. Chapter 17 Healthy Start Act Chapter 17 (HF1403/SF1315) passed off the floor of both bodies with overwhelming support and was signed into law by the Governor on May 14, 2021. The bill allows conditional release for incarcerated pregnant women and new mothers. Conditional release will be to halfway houses that have monitoring and security systems already in place. Testifiers in committee stated that of the 278 pregnant women sentenced to serve time in Corrections, Page 5 of 5 CORRECTIONS BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA Minnesota between 2013 and 2020, 77% were in prison for technical violations of supervision, and 84% had non-violent offenses. Just over half of those women were released within six months of giving birth. This plan would provide more options to allow for connection and bonding between mother and child within the first year, which has the potential to reduce harm to the child for a circumstance for which they had no control. Chapter 20 Disclosure of Predatory Offender Status to Hospice Providers One of a small number of bills that were signed into law during the regular session is a somewhat short and simple bill that requires notice to hospice providers of a person’s status under the predatory offender registry. Chapter 20 was signed by the Governor on May 25, 2021. Chapter 24 DOC Issued Identification Cards and Homelessness Mitigation Services Chapter 24 started as a bill to provide identification cards to individuals released from prison as a secondary form of ID for applications, employment forms, and social security cards. It became a law that has the potential to provide many released inmates with additional services they need to succeed in the community. For example, it requires that the DOC provide an updated list of medications, a prescription for necessary non-narcotic medications, and a 30-day supply of non-narcotic medications. A simple thing like refilling a prescription may be very difficult for recently released individuals as all public health benefits end while in prison. They would need to apply for benefits (where ID might be necessary), find a primary care provider, have an exam, and get a prescription, and then have the money to fill the prescription. By eliminating some steps, the individual will likely not run out of medication which makes them more likely to stay in the community without issue. There are similar provisions related to job searching, housing, and other support services. The bill was signed into law by the Governor on May 25, 2021. What Did Not Happen? • No direct Emergency Management Readiness grant appropriations for counties • The 911 telecommunications fee was not maintained at the 95-cent level – it was reduced to 80 cents • The Department of Correction’s Minnesota Rehabilitation and Reinvestment Act which would have created an earned compliance credit for early release • No changes to qualified immunity and indemnification of law enforcement • A bill to limit probation revocation in limited circumstances involving minor violations that do not involve the commission of a new crime • No regulation of charitable bail organizations General Governance, Page 1 of 3 2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION REPORT GENERAL GOVERNANCE BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA Final Agreement – Ends Covid Peacetime Emergency July 1st Legislative Appropriation of $2.8 Billion federal American Rescue Plan Funding Final negotiations on the State Government Omnibus Budget Bill, Chapter 12, 1st SS of 2021 (SF2), included a House-Senate agreement to terminate the peacetime emergency declared by Executive Order 20-01, on March 13, 2020, effective July 1, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. Throughout the final days and hours of Special Session, amendments to various bills volleyed back and forth and the Senate, House and Governor sought agreement on an end to EO 20-01. The Governor sought inclusion of specific exceptions for vaccine distribution and testing, draw-down of federal food stamp funds, and continued flexibility to temporarily reassignment state workforce through August 1. The Senate majority sought a retroactive $1000 cap on fines for violations of peacetime emergency executive orders. Ultimately, Chapter 12, Article 2, section 23, the Omnibus State Government budget bill, signed into law on June 30, ended the Peacetime Emergency declared under EO20-01 effective midnight July 1. Chapter 14, Article 11, section 36, the Omnibus Tax Bill, passed the next day, and signed by Governor Walz on July 1, included language sought by the Governor maintained certain executive order provisions through August 1. No permanent changes were made to Minn. Stats. Chapter 12 emergency powers, meaning the Governor maintains authority to declare a new peacetime emergency for COVID or other purposes allowed by that law. ARP - $2.8 Billion State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF) Control over federal COVID spending was also a major point of contention between the Senate and Governor since the start of pandemic. While longstanding law statutorily appropriates most federal funds subject only to an advisory review by a panel of legislators, or by direct appropriation during a regular session, the significant sums of federal CARES and ARP federal funds were viewed differently by legislators. Chapter 12, article 5, puts in law the essence of the May 17 Global Agreement, including: • Appropriates $425 million (of the $2.8 billion) for a new COVID Flexible Response Account, to be used by the Administration to fund necessary COVID response actions, subject to review by a panel of legislators. A related $75 million for 2021 summer school programs was directly appropriated (a combined $500 million). • Transfers $1.183 billion, which was determined to qualify as ‘revenue loss’ under federal guidance, to the General Fund for government services. These funds were effectively combined with the forecast surplus and incorporated into budget bill targets and appropriations. • Suspends the current law on federal funds spending authority relative to the remaining $1.150 billion of SFSF’s until June 15, 2022, effectively ensuring the legislature has an opportunity to directly appropriate those funds in a subsequent legislative session. FRONT-LINE WORKER PAYMENTS: As summarized in Tax and Fiscal Policy, Chapter 14, Article 11, section 38, 1st SS 2021, sets-aside $250 million of the remaining SFRF’s for compensating front-line workers, including long- term care workers. A nine-member working group is directed to bring forward, by September 6, 2021, recommendations for allocating those funds.

Additionally, employers with 15 or more employees must grant employee accommodation requests for health conditions related to pregnancy or childbirth, unless the employer shows it would be an undue hardship. Undue hardship cannot be claimed, and medical advice cannot be required, for certain accommodation requests: more frequent restroom, food, or water breaks, or limits on lifting over 20 pounds.

In addition, Chapter 23, passed during Regular Session, adopted a MICA supported priority to continue operation of St. Paul Co-gen facility, a critical outlet for EAB and other tree waste across many MICA counties. Environment Policy and Budget Summary Solid Waste & Landfills—Chapter 6 Increased Funding for SCORE Grants & Landfill Post-Closure Care • Increases SCORE block grants to counties by $700,000 annually, for a total of $18.45 million annually beginning in FY2022 • Transitions the appropriation for Metropolitan Landfill Abatement and Grants to a direct appropriation but maintains the funding level at $2.719 million annually • Appropriates $100,000 annually, beginning in FY2022, to begin restoring $13.905 million previously transferred out of the Metropolitan Landfill Contingency Action Trust (MLCAT) • Appropriates up to $4.5 million annually from the Closed Landfill Investment Fund (CLIF), and up to $9.0 million additional if the commissioner determines there is an emergency, and the annual appropriation will be insufficient. MPCA is required to report to the legislature if emergency money is used; the appropriations sunset on June 30, 2025. MPCA may acquire interests in a solid waste disposal property if related to closure or post-closure care. (Article 2, sections 97 – 98) • Requires the commissioner of the PCA to amend rules to require reports to the agency from solid waste facilities to be due by March 1 for the previous calendar year (Article 2, section 131). • Amends requirements for the animal lot permits processed by counties to prohibit MPCA from imposing requirements related to pastures owned or used by the feedlot operator other than those under a manure management plan or requiring implementation of a nitrogen best management practices. The new language is effective August 31, 2021, unless the EPA disapproves (Article 2, sections 99, 133) Groundwater Protection & Regulation Chapter 3 and Chapter 6 Increased funding to replace rural septic systems • Chapter 3 (Ag & Rural Finance Budget Bill) appropriates $1.437 million each year in FY2022-23, and $1.425 million each year thereafter, for the AgBMP Loan Program operated by the Department of Agriculture. Uses for AgBMP funds are broad but include supporting county efforts to replace non- compliant septic systems to protect groundwater resources. The appropriation rider encourages the Commissioner to look at using one-third of the funds for septic systems. • Chapter 6 appropriates $1.4 million one-time to the Board and Water and Soil Resources (BWSR), in FY2022, to make grants to “rural landowners” (as defined for the AgBMP program) to replace failing septic systems.

Strengthens regulation of Minnesota groundwater resources; Prohibits Bulk Transport & Sale • Expands the prohibition on issuing new water- use permits appropriating water from the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer from only metropolitan counties to all locations and prohibits the DNR from issuing new water-use permits appropriating more than 1,000,000 gallons per year for the bulk transport or sale of water to a location more than 50 miles away (Article 2, sections 81-82). • Appropriates $600,000 for MPCA to develop and implement an initiative to reduce sources of “forever chemicals” (PFAS), in cooperation with the Commissioner of Health and an advisory group that includes MICA. • Prohibits the manufacture and sale of a food package containing PFAS (Article 2, section 105) • Provides an additional year for the EQB to submit a report on the funding necessary to secure section 404 assumption (Article 2, section 108) Amends regulation of water quality and storage • Requires BWSR to establish a program to provide financial assistance to local units of government to control water volume and rates in order to protect infrastructure, improve water quality, and mitigate climate change, with priority given to the Minnesota River Basin and Lower Mississippi River Basin (Article 2, section 80) • Allows BWSR to provide financial assistance to cover the costs of water storage projects and other water quality practices consistent with certain approved water management plans; acquire conservation easements necessary to implement a project or practice under the program. • Requires BWSR to enter into agreements with local units of government receiving financial assistance that specify the terms for state and local cooperation, financial arrangements for construction, and assurances for the maintenance of any structures. • Requires a matching contribution and allows the match to be adjusted if federal funds are available for the project. • Requires a local unit of government applying for assistance under the program to provide a copy of a resolution or other documentation of the local unit of government’s support for the project and specifies the requirements for the resolution/documentation. Also requires the local unit of government to evaluate the benefits expected upon completion of the project and submit them to BWSR prior to the final project design. • Requires the DNR to notify local units of government when establishing an ordinary high-water level. Appeal of order establishing ordinary high-water level. Allows a local unit of government to petition for a review of an ordinary high-water level. Requires the DNR to review the petition within 90 days and issue a final order. Allows the commissioner to extend the period by 90 days by providing written notice (Article 2, sections 83-84) • The maximum amount of compensation a soil and water conservation district (SWCD) supervisor can receive per day is also increased from $75 per day to $125 per day (Article 2, section 79).

Parks & Trails—Chapter 6 Increased Funding for State Parks and Metro Regional Parks Increased funding for Metropolitan Regional Parks by $850,000 each year, to $7.45 million annually, from the Natural Resources Fund, while maintaining a General Fund base appropriation of $2.45 million annually Chapter 6 also allows the DNR to assess a monitoring fee on applicants leasing state land for a recreational trail or facility to cover the reasonable costs of monitoring the construction of the trail or facility and preparing the terms and conditions. DNR is required to provide applicants an estimate of the fee before requiring it to be submitted and refund any unobligated amount upon completion of the trail or facility (Article 2, section 47). Other Environment Policy Changes Chronic Wasting Disease Response and Other Actions Allows the DNR to inspect farmed white-tailed deer by clarifying that the DNR and the Board of Animal Health (BAH) possess concurrent authority to regulate farmed white-tailed deer under certain statutes governing farmed Cervidae (section 17). In addition, the prohibition on the importation of Cervidae carcasses (e.g., deer, elk, and moose) is expanded. Under current law, a person cannot import a hunter-harvested Cervidae carcass unless it has been processed to meet certain requirements to ensure it has been cleaned of all brain tissue and the spinal column (e.g. cut and wrapped meat, finished taxidermy mounts, or quartered without the spinal column or head attached). This new law expands the provision to all Cervidae carcasses, not just hunter-harvested ones and became effective the day following final enactment Other Policies of Potential Local Interest Allows the DNR to use the expedited rulemaking process when adopting changes to the placement and boundaries of land use districts in the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA). (Section 18) Exempts local units of government within the Mississippi River Corridor Critical Area (MRCCA) from requirements applicable in critical areas generally that require them to send regulations and plans to the Environmental Quality Board in lieu of new requirements applicable in the MRCCA established in the next section (Article 6, section 100). Makes the DNR responsible for local government plan and regulation reviews and approvals affecting land in the MRCCA and the Metropolitan Council responsible for duties required of regional development commissions for other critical areas. Establishes a 60-day timeframe when reviews must be completed. Requires the DNR to either conditionally approve the plan/regulations or return them for modification. Requires the local unit of government to revise and resubmit the plan/regulation within 60 days. Allows the local unit of government or Metropolitan Council to request a meeting which can extend the deadline. States that only plans and regulations receiving approval have the effect of law. Establishes conditions for approving the plans/regulations and requires a local unit of government to enforce the approved plan/regulation when they take effect.

Provides an immediate effective date for the subdivision. Climate & Energy (Chapter 4) Minnesota Energy Transition Plan The House and Senate took different approaches to energy and climate policy changes, with the House proposing a more aggressive approach of achieving a 100% Clean Energy Standard by 2050. The Senate did not go along with that approach. However, the two sides agreed to a process for energy transition (Article 8, sections 6-8) that includes: • Establishment of an Energy Transition Office at DEED to help address economic dislocations for impacted workers at retiring energy production facilities • Establishes an Energy Transition Advisory Committee and requires it to submit an Energy Transition Plan to the Governor and legislature by July 1, 2022. In addition, Chapter 4: • Appropriates $100,000 from the General Fund to advance a solar installation pilot project on the Anoka-Ramsey Closed Landfill site and establishes an account in the remediation fund in which revenues from lease payments from a lessor of a portion of closed landfill site managed by the Pollution Control Agency on which the lessor has installed a solar energy generating system are to be deposited.

Programs must be cost- effective and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Plans have a term of five years. Sets caps on annual plan costs. The initial innovation plan must include programs to provide audits to small- and medium- sized businesses, target industrial facilities that cannot easily electrify, conduct deep energy retrofits and install cold-climate electric air-source heat pumps in residences, and expand district heating systems. In the absence of plan, a utility may deliver innovative resources to customers who elect to consume them under a commission-approved green tariff program and may recover costs for those resources that are up to five percent higher than the cost of conventional natural gas. (Section 20) Section 21 establishes a lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions accounting framework providing for a cost benefit test for innovative resources. The PUC is required to develop frameworks that natural gas utilities operating under an approved natural gas innovation plan must use to calculate greenhouse gas emissions intensities of individual innovative resources and to measure their cost-effectiveness. Chapter 23 – 2021 Regular Session Authorizes PUC Extension of Co-gen Facility for EAB Waste Chapter 23 authorized the PUC to approve a temporary extension of a Power Purchase Agreement between Xcel and Evergreen Energy to continue operation of the St. Paul Co-gen facility, which has been an essential outlet for disposal of tree waste, and particularly EAB waste, in the greater Twin Cities region.

While counties continue to support even greater funding for solid waste recycling programs, post-closure care of closed-landfills, invasive specifies control, and resist policy changes that restrain those efforts. • No changes to existing MPCA “clean car’ rule-making authority. • No mandatory mortgage and deed transaction fee dedicated to SWCD’s. • No prohibition or limits on Waste-to-Energy facilities for disposal of solid waste as an alternative to landfilling.

(Carried Forward from the July 27, 2021, Meeting – List of Prospective Lida Lakes Improvement District Board Members as Provided by David Hilber Mr. Stein, I am re-sending this - I originally sent yesterday but realized the email did not have a subject line. Below is a list of potential names for the Lida Lakes Improvement District Board. All of those listed expressed an interest in serving. The 1st seven are our recommendations. They also meet the requirement to have the majority be year-round residents. We had 3 names who were NOT in favor of, or skeptical of, the LID: Gary Storms Shane Peterson Rob Jacobson We recommend Gary Storms for two reasons: He is a year-round resident; he is a former Mayor and has past board experience. If you prefer to go with Shane Peterson or Rob Jacobson, we will need to switch out one seasonal name for a Resident. In that case I would recommend keeping Gary Storms to replace Sheldon Poss. Here are some brief thoughts on our top choices: • David Braton - Instrumental in establishing, well connected around the lake. Willing to listen and ask tough questions. • Brian Graftass - Prior involvement in the LLPOA and assisted with LID investigations on behalf of the LLPOA. • David Hilber - Current LLPOA President. Instrumental in establishing, leading groundwork to draft initial bylaws and budget. • Zach Herrmann – LLPOA Treasurer. Instrumental in establishing, engineer who does lake/water work for a living, keen insight into lake issues • Robert Nielson - Past LLPOA President. Wrote original Lake Lida Management Plan. Retired NDSU PhD. • Sheldon Poss – Owns Poss Woodworks in Fargo. He and his wife have been strong supporters of the LLPOA and LID. • Gary Storms – Owns business in Fargo/Moorhead. A former Mayor and member of several boards. Was not in favor of Ad Valorum funding. Please let me know if you have any questions.

The county board tabled the appointments until our August 10th meeting. Attached is the list we had for our board meeting; my suggestion is at the top of the document. Please discuss with your people and see if someone would agree to letting Mimsi serve in their place, also I would like to see Mimsi serve a three year term.

August 10, 2021 To the Family of Mr. Syd Nelson, The Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners recognizes the many years of public service, governance, dedication, and devotion provided by Syd, and we express our utmost gratitude and appreciation for his many years of dedicated public service to the residents of Otter Tail County and the State of Minnesota. On behalf of Otter Tail County, we send our deepest condolences. Syd was once quoted in the Perham Focus (March 2008) as saying, “Politicians get a bad rap, but it takes a unique person who wants to put their name on the line. . . and try to improve things. A lot of good people don’t run for office because they don’t want the hassle . . . So I absolutely admire people who run for office.” We extend our admiration for Syd who served over half his life in public service on the Paddock Township Board for 20 years, as an Otter Tail County Commissioner for 26 years and a State Legislator for four years. As Syd said, not everyone is cut out to run for office, but his dedication to public service has made a lasting impact for those he served. With Sympathy, Leland R. Rogness Chair, Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. 123 North Third Street, Suite 100 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401-1659 (612) 338-0800 Fax: (612) 338-6838 www.hkgi.com Creating Places that Enrich People’s Lives Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. To: Nick Leonard, Deputy Administrator From Jeff Miller, HKGi Project Manager Date: August 4, 2021 Re: Additional Services & Compensation – Glacial Edge Trail Master Plan Amendment Project As required by HKGi’s consultant service contract with the City of Fergus Falls for the Glacial Edge Trail Master Plan Amendment Project, this memo serves as a written request to the County for approval of additional services/compensation to cover the costs incurred by HKGi for this project. We understand that the County’s approval of additional services and compensation is necessary in order for the County and the City to modify their Agreement, effective 2019, for coordination of the amendment to the Glacial Edge Trail Master Plan to incorporate the County’s Fergus Falls to Maplewood State Park Segment into the plan. This modification to the County/City Agreement would then be used to modify the City/HKGi contract. This need and request for additional services and compensation stems from the following unanticipated impacts on the project’s original scope of work and associated work activities: • The project’s schedule was put on pause by the County in Fall/Winter 2019 and again in Spring/Summer 2020 resulting in additional work to restart the project; • Community engagement activities were cancelled and then redesigned due to the Covid-19 pandemic; • Change in Fergus Falls city staff; • Additional meetings with staff to coordinate project changes; and • In early 2021, the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trail Commission (GMRPTC) released its new Strategic Plan with updated standards. As a result of the above additional work, the project’s original budget will not cover the remaining work to be done. In order to complete the project, HKGi respectfully submits this request for the project’s compensation to be increased by $6,000, from $23,800 to $29,800. These fees are needed to accomplish the remaining tasks, which include the following: • Project Advisory Group Meeting #3 • Prepare materials for County's webpage • Prepare Draft 2 of Master Plan document • Staff meetings • Prepare Final Master Plan • Prepare presentation for County Board meeting • GIS file packaging • Travel time • GMRPTC coordination (e.g. joint management & operation of the trail) August 4, 2021 – Glacial Edge Trail Master Plan Project – Otter Tail County & Fergus Falls 2 In conjunction with this request to the County, HKGi is also working with the Fergus Falls city staff and GMRPTC staff on their needs to complete this project and meet the GMRPTC’s criteria for successful designation of the combined City/County trail as a regional trail. We are pleased with the first complete draft of the amended Glacial Edge Trail Master Plan, which has been distributed to County and City staff. We are also proud of our partnership with the County staff, City staff, and Project Advisory Group. We are confident that the GET Plan will provide the County and the City with an effective guide plan and implementation tool for jointly funding, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining this regional trail. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at jmiller@hkgi.com or 612-720-8311.
