Otter Tail County Human Services Fraud Prevention Investigation Program Grant Summary
Minnesota Statutes, Section 256.983 obligates the Minnesota Department of Human
Services (DHS) to develop a Fraud Prevention Investigation (FPI) Program. To the extent of its
appropriation, DHS reimburses county human service agency expenditures for the necessary
staffing to administer the Program. Although the FPI program employs a county-based
investigative structure (investigators are hired and supervised by county staff), operational
expectations and standards are defined by DHS. The FPI enabling legislation also places a cost
neutrality requirement on the State’s funding appropriation for county agency administrative
costs which requires demonstrable benefits of the FPI Program outweigh agency administrative
costs. In 2019 the Minnesota Legislature appropriated additional funding to expand the FPI
program so that counties would have more resources to investigate recipient fraud in public
assistance programs.
While Otter Tail County has maintained a successful fraud investigation program for over
30 years, the availability of additional FPI grant funds provided an opportunity for the County to
reconfigure our Fraud Investigative Team at a reduced cost to the taxpayer. In November 2019,
Otter Tail County Human Services submitted a grant application requesting consideration of
$100,000 per state fiscal year in FPI grant funds from DHS. The Fraud Investigative Team was
reconfigured to include a Fraud Prevention Investigator and a Fraud & Collections Support
Specialist employed by the County Attorney’s Office and a Criminal Investigator through a
Mutual Aid Agreement with the Fergus Falls Police Department. Otter Tail County Human
Services continues to contract with the County Attorney’s Office for the investigative services
outlined in the Cooperative Agreement for Welfare Fraud Investigation Services and will be the
Authorized Representative of the Otter Tail County FPI grant.
In December 2019, Otter Tail County Human Services was informed that DHS was
proposing $50,000 in FPI funding to the County for the remainder of state fiscal year 2020 and a
full $100,000 for state fiscal year 2021.
By receiving FPI program funding, the County will be able to maintain and improve on
an already successful fraud investigation program. Through the receipt of FPI grant funds, Otter
Tail County will remain budget neutral to the State of Minnesota by keeping our administrative
costs low and our taxpayer return on investment high and will amplify the confidence of our
constituents that Otter Tail County is committed to preventing individuals from misrepresenting
their circumstances in an effort to obtain public benefits that they would not otherwise be entitled
to.

Grant Contract #: GRK 171718 Revised 05/2015
State of Minnesota Department of Human Services County Grant Contract
RECITALS
THIS GRANT, and amendments and supplements thereto, is between State of Minnesota, acting through
its Department of Human Services, Office of Inspector General, Financial Fraud and Abuse Investigations
Division (hereinafter STATE) and Otter Tail County Human Services, an independent contractor, not an
employee of the State of Minnesota, address: 530 West Fir Ave., Fergus Falls, MN 56537 (hereinafter
COUNTY).
WHEREAS, the STATE, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 256.01, 256.983 and 119B.02,
subdivision 5 is empowered to enter into contracts with counties for maintaining, establishing and
funding cost effective Fraud Prevention Investigation (FPI) programs in accordance with operational
requirements, forms and reporting mechanisms as contained in the FPI Program Manual, and
amendments and supplements thereto, which are incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS STATE is permitted to share information with the COUNTY in accordance with Minnesota
Statute, section 13.46, and
WHEREAS, COUNTY represents that it is duly qualified and willing to perform the services set forth
herein,
NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:
1. COUNTY'S DUTIES. COUNTY shall:
1.1. Conduct timely fraud prevention investigations of applicants, recipients, and other
participants in the human services programs administered by the COUNTY agency.
1.2. Ensure that its FPI program operations and investigative techniques follow the STATE’s FPI
Guidelines found in the Fraud Prevention Investigation Program Manual (hereinafter, FPI
Guidelines), federal regulations, Minnesota laws, and COUNTY ordinances. The FPI Guidelines
are incorporated herein by reference.
1.3. Refer for criminal prosecution public assistance recipients and providers who have committed
intentional program violations (IPV) or, when such prosecutions are declined by a COUNTY
attorney or the COUNTY decides not to pursue criminal prosecution of an IPV, pursue
administrative disqualification of a provider or recipient in lieu of criminal prosecution in
compliance with Minnesota Statutes, section 256.046, “Administrative Fraud Disqualification
Hearings.”
1.4. Use staff that qualify as investigators through the COUNTY’s personnel classification system or
licensed by either the State of Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training
(POST) or State of Minnesota Board of Private Detective and Protective Agent Services.
1.5. Notify the STATE of any staffing changes that result in fewer FPI investigators than are in the
COUNTY’s approved contract attachments. COUNTY staff changes that result in fewer
2
Grant Contract #: GRK 171718 Revised 05/2015
investigators permanently will likely result in reduced FPI program funding.
1.6. Allow COUNTY FPI staff to attend and participate in the development and presentation of
STATE sponsored training and other FPI program related workgroups.
1.7. Utilize the State’s FPI Program Integrity Network (PIN) for FPI staff to report the results of
public assistance fraud investigations, whether administrative, civil or criminal.
1.8. Maintain investigative case files as required by the FPI Guidelines. The COUNTY shall provide
the STATE access to all FPI case files during the COUNTY’S regular business hours.
1.9. Timely submit narrative, financial and statistical reports either as required in FPI Guidelines or
as requested by the STATE.
1.10. Ensure that eligibility workers make referrals to the COUNTY’S FPI staff when appropriate and
cooperate with case action reporting requirements.
1.11. Ensure that healthcare overpayments arising from FPI investigations are calculated and
reported to FPI investigators to the same extent as all other programs related to the FPI
program. The STATE will regularly monitor the COUNTY’S compliance with this obligation.
Compliance will be a component of the STATE’S evaluation of the COUNTY’S FPI program.
1.12. Annually provide training to COUNTY’s eligibility workers in fraud detection to assist them in
identifying cases that should be referred.
1.13. Evaluate FPI referral rates among eligibility workers in order to help identify fraud detection
training needs.
1.14. Cooperate with the STATE in maintaining cost effective program operations by expanding FPI
service coverage to other counties as deemed necessary by the STATE.
1.15. Provide short term fraud prevention investigation services to other counties as deemed
necessary by the STATE.
1.16. Submit quarterly claim reimbursement for the FPI program expenditures on the STATE's
Financial Operations Division’s Quarterly Income Maintenance Administrative Expense Report
(Form No. DHS 2550).
1.17. REQUIRED COUNTY AGENCY ATTACHMENTS. The COUNTY agrees to incorporate the
following information as an attachment to this contract. This information must be provided to
and approved by the STATE before this contract becomes effective:
(a.) COUNTY organizational chart showing its management structure and divisions, and the
number and placement of COUNTY FPI staff within this structure.
(b.) Position descriptions and personnel classification of funded COUNTY FPI employees,
including an itemization of all tasks performed and the percentage of time spent on
those tasks.
(c.) Where applicable, contractual agreements between COUNTY agency and service
providers of fraud prevention investigation services.
(d.) A copy of the COUNTY’S policy and procedures for resolving intentional program
violations through criminal prosecution or through the administrative disqualification
hearing process when a completed fraud prevention investigation identifies an
intentional program violation and no criminal action is taken.
1.18. COUNTY OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO USE OF THE STATE’S PROGRAM INTEGRITY NETWORK
(PIN) ELECTRONIC DATABASE.
(a.) The COUNTY is responsible for ensuring that the STATE’s PIN electronic database is
utilized only by FPI COUNTY staff or agents, and their related support staff where
applicable, and only for legitimate COUNTY or State business.
(b.) The STATE is exclusively responsible for approving requests for PIN access and for
determining and providing access rights to all PIN users. PIN access shall be granted
only to individuals performing investigative work essential to the FPI program.
3
Grant Contract #: GRK 171718 Revised 05/2015
(c.) The COUNTY shall ensure that all COUNTY users and agents who are provided access to
PIN fully complete a PIN Access Request form approved and signed by their immediate
supervisor. The COUNTY shall maintain the original and send a copy to STATE. All PIN
Access Request forms must be sent to the STATE’s FPI Program Administrator or her/his
successors.
(d.) If any COUNTY supervisor, manager, or executive, or COUNTY personnel responsible for
monitoring access to state or COUNTY electronic databases, develops a reasonable
suspicion that PIN or any database that is accessed through PIN or used for investigative
purposes, has been used or accessed improperly or illegally, the COUNTY shall
immediately investigate the matter and notify the STATE in writing no later than one (1)
day following the COUNTY’s confirmation that an improper or illegal access, use or
disclosure has occurred. “Reasonable suspicion” means any information or data that
objectively supports the COUNTY’S belief that improper or illegal access, disclosure or
use has occurred. A request to the STATE (or any other database provider) for an audit
of any PIN user’s use or access does not constitute notice that illegal access, use or
disclosure has occurred.
(e.) The COUNTY shall provide the STATE with all details of the improper or illegal use or
disclosure. Failure to provide this notice may result in the COUNTY’s loss of access to
PIN. The STATE may terminate, suspend or otherwise limit the COUNTY’s or any user’s
or agent’s access to PIN based upon a determination that PIN was accessed or used
improperly or illegally, or if a COUNTY user or agent is responsible for an improper
disclosure. The COUNTY agrees to cooperate with any investigation required or
requested by the STATE related to improper or illegal use or disclosure of information in
PIN, or any database accessed through PIN.
(f.) Within one (1) business day following any COUNTY determination of an improper or
illegal use of or disclosure from PIN or any database accessed through PIN, the COUNTY
shall notify the STATE in writing of the details of that resolution.
(g.) The COUNTY shall prepare a report, and deliver to the STATE, the facts and results of
the investigation. The report must at a minimum include:
(i.) a description of the data that was accessed or acquired;
(ii.) the names and number of individuals whose data was improperly accessed,
disclosed or acquired;
(iii.) the name of each COUNTY user or agent determined responsible for the
unauthorized access, disclosure or acquisition and the amount of their
unauthorized access for each victim; and
(iv.) the final disposition of any disciplinary action taken against each COUNTY user in
response, or if disciplinary action or other action was determined to be
unnecessary, the specific findings and reasons for that determination, excluding
information protected by law.
(h.) All communications regarding an improper or illegal use of or disclosure from PIN, or the
databases accessed through PIN, shall be sent to the Department of Human Services,
Office of Inspector General, Financial Fraud and Abuse Division, manager of eligibility
and child care provider investigations, or her or his successors.
(i.) The COUNTY agrees to assist the STATE in any investigation of a COUNTY’s improper or
illegal use of PIN.
(j.) The COUNTY agrees comply with Minnesota Statutes, section 13.055, “Disclosure of
Breach in Security,” in relation to any breach in the security of data.
4
Grant Contract #: GRK 171718 Revised 05/2015
(k.) The COUNTY agrees to indemnify STATE to the extent provided in clause 10, Liability,
and hold harmless the STATE from any lawsuits or damages, including punitive damages,
resulting from COUNTY staff data breaches that result from PIN use.
(l.) The STATE may immediately terminate PIN access, and access through PIN to any
database or website that is accessed through PIN, for any COUNTY staff that misuses
PIN.
(m.) The STATE reserves the exclusive right to determine the action it will take against the
COUNTY for any COUNTY user’s or COUNTY agent’s misuse of PIN access or any
database or website that is accessed through PIN.

provided after notice and effective date of termination. However, the COUNTY will be entitled to
payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for services satisfactorily performed to the extent that funds

the decision of the Minnesota Legislature, or other funding source, not to appropriate funds. The STATE
must provide the COUNTY notice of the lack of funding within a reasonable time of the STATE’s receiving
that notice.
6.3. Breach. Notwithstanding clause 6.1., upon STATE’s knowledge of a curable material breach of

Household Hazardous Waste Program Promotes Reuse and Serves County Residents
Nick Heeter (pictured below) manages the Otter Tail County Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Program. The
program serves a six county area and provides a convenient way for households to dispose of hazardous
products in their homes safely and responsibly. Many household chemicals and items such as batteries,
fluorescent lightbulbs, lawn and garden chemicals and paint should never be disposed of in the garbage. These
items can be harmful to you, wildlife or the environment if they are mishandled. The HHW program accepts
these items free of charge for Otter Tail County Residents at our HHW Facility in Fergus Falls or at any of our
HHW Mobile Collections. Usable products are offered back to the public free of charge at our Reuse area at the
HHW Facility.
In 2019 Nick’s program collected approximately 170,000 pounds of household hazardous waste and gave out
1,707 gallons of free paint to Otter Tail residents for Reuse. We estimate that the value of the paint given to
area residents amounts to at least $51,000, assuming the average value of a gallon of paint is $30.
In addition to Reuse, many products brought to Household Hazardous Waste are recycled through special
programs. Oil and latex paint, fluorescent lightbulbs, batteries and solvents are some of the products that get
recycled. Oil paint and solvents are bulked in 55 gallon drums before being shipped to other sites to be refined
and blended into heating oil. Pictured above are 63 drums of paint and solvents ready to be shipped out for
recycling on Dec. 18th, 2019.
Increased awareness of the Household Hazardous
Waste Program has contributed to a 32% increase
in Otter Tail County resident usage over the past six
years, from 3,622 residents served in 2014 to 4,785
residents served in 2019.
With consistent promotion of the program and its
many benefits we will likely see further increases in
resident participation in the future.

REGARDING: HGACBuy Collective Purchasing Membership Agreement
The Solid Waste Department requests Board approval for authorized signatures of the attached
Houston Galveston Collective Purchasing Agreement.
BACKGROUND
In researching packer body options for planned and scheduled replacement it was found that similar
packer bodies to that of our current packer were not available on MN State Contract or Sourcewell, of
which Otter Tail County has been a member for purchasing. It was discovered that the desired packer
body is available for purchase to members on HGACBuy. The Solid Waste Department requests to
become a member of HGACBuy to have the opportunity to purchase the desired packer body as well as
have opportunities for future purchases through HGACBuy.
DETAILS
HGACBuy is a nationwide government procurement service. All contracts available to participating
members have been awarded by virtue of a public competitive procurement process compliant with
state statutes. HGACBuy operates with no cost contracts and generally a 1.5% sales commission built
into the contract price to fund their program. The HGACBuy agreement has been reviewed with no
objection by the County Attorney. The HGACBuy contract is attached.

Tobacco Ordinance Updates
The minimum age to purchase tobacco has been raised to 21 nationwide, a policy often called Tobacco
21. This change went into effect December 21, 2019, as soon as the President signed the legislation.
The goal is to update and clean up language in both the Licensing ordinance and Purchase Age
ordinance. The Licensing ordinance was last updated in 2011. If MN legislator votes to change state
statute to age 21; Otter Tail County Purchase Age ordinance would no longer be needed.
Updates briefly:
• Hearing process with county board for those that contest fine
• Clarity around who penalties are applied to (license holder not seller)
• Lookback language for penalty application; was previously unclear and lengthy
• Penalty amounts increased

OTTER TAIL COUNTY

PROVISION OF COMMERCIAL TOBACCO PRODUCTS TO PERSONS
UNDER 21
An Ordinance relating to distribution and provision of commercial tobacco and tobacco-
related products and devices to youth and young adults in the County of Otter Tail.
The County Board of Otter Tail County ordains:
Section I. General Provisions.
A. Title. The title of this Ordinance shall be the Otter Tail County Public Health
Regulation on the Distribution and Provision of Commercial Tobacco Products to
Person Under 21.
B. Findings of Fact and Purpose.
Whereas, Otter Tail County recognizes that the use of commercial tobacco products has
devastating health and economic consequences. Commercial tobacco use is the foremost
preventable cause of premature death in America. Otter Tail County further recognizes that young people are particularly susceptible to the addictive properties of these tobacco
products and are particularly likely to become lifelong users. The County Board of
Commissioners accepts the conclusions and recommendations of the Centers for Disease
Control & Prevention;
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services
Administration, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics, and Quality; Minnesota
Department of Health; and the Institute of Medicine.
Accordingly, Otter Tail County adopts the following Public Health Regulation on the
Distribution and Provision of Commercial Tobacco Products to Person Under 21 to reduce
tobacco use by keeping commercial tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices,
electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices out of the hands of
young people.
C. Authority. This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapters 145A
and 461 and allowing for local ordinances for counties to regulate actual and potential
threats to the public health and to set more restrictive regulation on the distribution and
provision of tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, electronic delivery
devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices.
D. Severability and Savings Clause. If any provision of this Ordinance, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Ordinance that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application. Each invalid provision
or application of this Ordinance is severable.
E. Jurisdiction. Pursuant to Minn. Stat.§ 145A.05, Subd. 1, this Ordinance shall apply
throughout all of Otter Tail County including all municipalities and unincorporated areas
therein. Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent other local levels of government within Otter Tail
County from adopting more stringent measures.

A. B.
Purpose and Authority. Because the county recognizes that the sale of commercial tobacco, tobacco-
related devices, electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery products to persons under
the age of 18 violates both state and federal laws; and because studies, which the county accepts and
adopts, have shown that youth use of any commercial tobacco products has increased to 26.4% in
Minnesota ; and because nearly 90% of smokers begin smoking before they have reached the age of 18
years, and that almost no one starts smoking after age 25;; and because studies show that youth and
young adults are especially susceptible to commercial tobacco product availability, advertising and
price promotions at tobacco retail environments; and because commercial tobacco use has been shown
to be the cause of many serious health problems which subsequently place a financial burden on all
levels of government, this ordinance is intended to regulate the sale of commercial tobacco, tobacco-
related devices, electronic delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery products for the purpose of
enforcing and furthering existing laws, to protect youth and young adults against the serious health
effects associated with use and initiation, and to further the official public policy of the state to prevent
young people from starting to smoke as stated in Minn. Stat. § 144.391, as it may be amended from
time to time.Because the County recognizes that many persons under the age of 18 years purchase
or otherwise obtain, possess and use tobacco, tobacco products, and tobacco- related devices,
nicotine or lobelia delivery devices and that such sales, possession and use are violations of both
state and federal law; and there exists substantial scientific evidence that the use of tobacco
products causes cancer, heart disease and various other medical disorders; and whereas the use of
tobacco products commences primarily in adolescence; and the County desires to prevent young
people from starting to use tobacco; this Ordinance is intended to regulate the sale, possession and
use of tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, nicotine or lobelia delivery devices for
the purpose of enforcing and furthering existing laws and to protect minors from the serious affects
associated with the use of tobacco. This Ordinance applies in unorganized territory of the County
and in all towns and cities which do not license and regulate retail tobacco sales. This Ordinance is
enacted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 461.
C. Severability and Savings Clause. If any section or portion of this Ordinance shall be found
unconstitutional or otherwise invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that
finding shall not serve as an invalidation or affect the validity and enforceability of any other
section or provision of this Ordinance.
D. Responsibility. All licensees under this Ordinance shall be responsible for the actions of their
employees in regard to the sale of tobacco, tobacco products, tobacco-related devices, electronic
delivery devices, and nicotine or lobelia delivery devices on the licensed premises, and the sale
of such item by an employee shall be considered a sale by the license holder. Nothing in this
section shall be construed as prohibiting the County from also subjecting the employee to
whatever non-criminal penalties are appropriate under this Ordinance, state or federal law or
other applicable law or regulation.

The Minnesota Departments of Human Services and Health would like to publicly acknowledge the
continued contributions made by the Otter Tail County Community Collaborative. Over the past eight
years this collaborative was led by both Otter Tail County Public Health and Human Services. The
Collaborative included active members from Lake Region Health Care, LB Homes, Pioneer Care,
Lakeland Mental Health Center, Productive Alternatives, and the Fergus Falls CBHH, most recently.
They have been central to investigating and implementing a number of Health Information Technology
initiatives.
This group of county staff and community partners has provided a laboratory to explore the challenges
and opportunities of Health Information Technology (HIT) with a group of willing, informed, and
engaged collaborators. Without the leadership and vision of Otter Tail County Public Health and Human
Services and its collaborators, DHS and MDH would have been unable to make the significant progress
on expanding the use of HIT both in clinical settings and for long-term services and supports.
The overlapping SIM and TEFT grants allowed DHS and MDH to coordinate work with the Otter Tail
County Community Collaborative to further the common goals of the two grant programs.
2012 Minnesota e-Health Connectivity Grant Program for Health Information Exchange (community
collaborative)- federal ARRA-HITECH funding to MDH provided funding to expand community-based
collaborative Health Information Exchange (HIE) efforts by providing funding to: a) assist health care
providers meet requirements for federal incentives for meaningful use of an Electronic Health Record
(EHR) and/or b) expand health information exchange capability among health care providers and other
trading partners to support care and/or public health, and/or c) increase the number of Minnesota
pharmacies able to accept electronic prescriptions.

Testing Experience and Functional Tools (TEFT) April 1, 2014- March 30, 2019- grant to DHS from
CMS to: demonstrate the use of an untethered Personal Health Record (PHR) system with beneficiaries of
Community-Based Long-Term Services and Supports (CB-LTSS); identify, evaluate, and test an
electronic Long Term Services and Supports (e-LTSS) standard with the Office of National Coordinator’s
(ONC) Standards and Interoperability (S&I) Framework Process; field test a beneficiary experience
survey within multiple Community-Based Long Term Services & Supports (CB-LTSS) programs for
validity and reliability; and field test a modified set of Functional Assessment Standardized Items (FASI)
measures for use with beneficiaries of CB-LTSS.
In addition to helping DHS to fulfill the terms of the Federal Grant, the TEFT grant allowed participation
in the SAMHSA DISC Collaborative to learn more about Data Segmentation for Privacy (DS4P) and
Consent to Share (C2S). The Ottertail County collaborative assisted by contracting with an organization
to help use DS4P and C2S principles and actually implement a trial of on-line consent management in
Otter Tail County. The collaboratives’ work also informed the development and implementation of an
Encounter Alert System for Minnesota Medical Assistance beneficiaries.
