OTTER TAIL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Date:__________________________ By: _______________________________________ Attest: _________________________ Doug Huebsch, Board of Commissioners Chair John Dinsmore, Clerk Probation Department Update Probation Director Michael Schommer updated the Board of changes in the Probation Department. The department has shifted focus and are moving toward best practice by separating the adult and juvenile agents to better build community and inter-departmental relationships. He expects this shift will bridge gaps with Human Services, the County Attorney’s Office, Lakeland Mental Health and other departments or agencies. This shift also allows the opportunity to see what is and what is not working and adjust accordingly. The 8:00-4:30 working requirement for juvenile agents has been removed to allow agents to be more flexible and responsive to the needs of our youth and the families that they serve. The department has also been working with IT to utilize technology to enhance relationships and be more available. Mr. Schommer plans to isolate a 5th degree drug caseload to address the high risk/high need. Relapse is expected after completing treatment and releasing after 30 days. He is also working with the Judges and the County Attorney’s Office to utilize more of sanctions conferencing to reduce jail time and assist individuals back into treatment faster. Once past the 5-day window, it serves less purpose and does more harm than good. The goal is to be more intentional with what they are doing and how they are doing it. The agents are committed to doing what they can and what is best for the community. Change to County Board Meeting Start Time Motion by Rogness, second by Lindquist and unanimously carried to start the County Board Meetings at 8:30 a.m. beginning September 24, 2019, through the end of the calendar year. North/South Turtle Lake Discussion President of North Turtle Lake Association Jim Wilkus provided background to the Commissioners regarding the county restricting the flow of water out of the North Turtle Lake area which includes the South Turtle Lake storm water/ sewer system project and a culvert located under County Highway 122. He requested documentation giving Otter Tail County legal right to restrict the flow of water out of the North Turtle Lake area. He stated if the county is not able to provide documentation controlling the flow of water out of the North Turtle Lake area should be halted. He expressed concerns regarding the actions of Otter Tail County and the damage to properties on North Turtle Lake. According to the South Turtle Lake Storm Water System Operating Plan, the water level on North Turtle Lake water must be above 1330.5 before it can be shut off. Stop logs were installed earlier this summer to stop the flow of water when North Turtle Lake was at a level of 1328.23. Commissioner Huebsch posed the question as to why. Highway Engineer Chuck Grotte responded that the culvert under County Highway 122 was controlled due to blockage of a culvert downstream of Fiske Lake on private property. If the structure is on private property and does not belong to the county, the county does not have access and it becomes the property owner’s responsibility to maintain the structure. The county was notified of the blockage of the culvert belonging to Mark Sand and Gravel when a property upstream of Fiske Lake was being flooded. The county notified Mark Sand and Gravel, Mark Sand and Gravel shut down the flow of water to prevent continued flooding. Board of Commissioners Meeting Minutes September 10, 2019 Page 3 of 9 Assistant Land & Resource Director Kyle Westergard informed Commissioners the drainage way on Mark Sand and Gravel’s property may be a waterway that the DNR has control of and may need to be involved. It is the county’s responsibility to prevent downstream flooding and have been doing so for 13 years. Mr. Wilkus expressed concerns that there was no notification when the culvert was shut down and wants to understand why the culvert is being controlled as part of the South Turtle Lake project. He claims that the controlling of the culvert under County Highway 122 caused water levels on North Turtle Lake to rise causing damage to properties. He also requested written documentation giving Otter Tail County legal right to restrict the flow of water out of the North Turtle Lake area and County Administrator John Dinsmore reviewed the following with the Board. Administratively, Otter Tail County management’s analysis maintains that our authority is supported by the following information related to the South Turtle Lake’s Storm Water System Project: • The supporting documents provided in the Board’s informational packet (pages 6 to 21) include “Meeting Minute Excerpts Related to Turtle Lake High Water Discussions & Actions: April 11, 2006 to November 10, 2009” demonstrating our “due diligence” and public documentation of the actions we have taken; • That MS§444.075 (Waterworks Systems; Storm, Sanitary Sewer Systems) has served as the statutory authority for our actions documented in the above referenced document; • Presently, the County also cites sections of MS§103B - Water Planning And Project Implementation and MS§103G – Waters of the State as the ongoing statutory authority, directed by DNR, for our continued involvement, and; • If the original South Turtle Lake Storm Water System Operations Plan, developed as part of the DNR Flood Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, needs to be updated or revised, OTC is willing to coordinate and collaborate with DNR, the South Turtle Lake Improvement District and other stakeholders to determine/recommend future actions County Attorney Michelle Eldien commented that the county is not willing to stop the control of water flow out of the North Turtle Lake area. Otter Tail County has an obligation under statute to protect the public interest and explained that several statutes need to be read together to fully understand the authority of the county. MS§103B.551 allows the Board to delegate its authority to give the Lake Improvement District (LID) the authority to do what they did. The LID organized itself and Otter Tail County was involved under the agreement between the DNR and the South Turtle Lake LID. This is an operating plan the county is managing because of the DNR’s ability to control water levels and passing that authority to the County. Subd.3 (2) of this statute talks about the county being able to construct an operated water control structure approved by the commissioner of natural resources. She clarified that notices were sent to benefited property owners pursuant to statute. MS§103G.407 is a public waters statute allowing control of the water levels by the DNR or the DNR delegating that responsibility on to others. According to the County’s retained legal Consultant, Rinke Noonan Law Firm, this is an issue that they have addressed with other counties and often related to water changes over time. Ms. Eldien agrees this is a good time to look at the plan and reassess. Mr. Dinsmore suggested to develop a stakeholder group comprised of representatives to include North Turtle Lake Association, South Turtle’s LID, Fiske Lake property owners, Long Lake property owners, DNR staff and County staff. The purpose of this group would be to understand the situation and position of all involved and develop recommendations/proposals for consideration by DNR, Otter Tail County Board, and the South Turtle Lake Improvement District Board. Commissioner Lindquist commented that water quality is also a concern. Highway Engineer Chuck Grotte mentioned that South Turtle Lake has also expressed interest in updating the operating plan and would like to address lowering the water level on South Turtle Lake. Mr. Wilkus will communicate with Mr. Dinsmore on how to move forward with this group. Commissioner Johnson was approached by Mr. Wilkus during a short recess following the North/South Turtle Lake discussion. Johnson stated there was discussion at the Board meeting and felt it was inappropriate to discuss the topic one on one. Board of Commissioners Meeting Minutes September 10, 2019 Page 4 of 9 Recess & Reconvene At 10:04 a.m., Chair Huebsch declared the meeting of the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners recessed for a short break. The Board of Commissioners meeting was reconvened at 10:09 a.m. United Way Executive Director Mary Phillippe from United Way of Otter Tail and Wadena Counties gave a brief presentation of what United Way does for the community and how they help people and families. She described the different ways they give back to the community such as distributing food to local food shelves, mobile food drops and many others. A short video was shared with the Commissioners regarding how United Way has made a difference in a local individual’s life and stressed how important it is to lead by example. Ms. Phillippe requested support and input on how to get the word out in the community. Public Health Fee Schedule Motion by Rogness, second by Lindquist and unanimously carried to approve the updated Public Health fee schedule as presented. The fees were updated to maximize insurance billing and reimbursements. The majority of immunization program revenue is in fees (insurance billing).

Prairie Lakes Municipal Solid Waste Authority (PLMSWA) Nick Anhut, Senior Municipal Advisor with Ehlers, reviewed a document with the Commissioners titled “Bond Issuance Timeline for PLMSWA taxable refunding of the general obligation disposal system revenue bonds, series 2011. The County Finance Committee has inquired about potential refinancing opportunities related to the existing debt of the PLMSWA and its Perham Resource Recovery facility. The facility’s outstanding bond issues are all over a year ahead of their call dates, which is the point in time where the outstanding principal amount can be prepaid. Recent Federal tax reform removed the ability to execute a refunding this far in advance of the call date and still maintain the use of tax-exempt interest rates. However, benchmark taxable interest rates are hovering near all-time lows. Taxable interest rates are currently below 3%, which is lower than the 3.5% to 5.0% applicable to the $7.1 million outstanding on the 2011 Bonds. A taxable refunding of the 2011 debt still indicates greater than $600,000 net savings opportunity at current market levels. The PLMSWA is owner and operator of the facility and is a joint powers entity consisting of five Counties: Becker, Clay, Otter Tail, Todd and Wadena. Otter Tail County has issued bonds to facilitate acquisition and capital improvements to the facility under terms of a joint powers financing agreement pledging the net revenues of the facility to pay the debt and further backed by the full faith and credit of the member counties. A proposed schedule for authorization was presented. Motion by Lindquist, second by Rogness and unanimously carried to proceed with the process to refinance the County’s General Obligation Disposal System Revenue Bonds, Series 2011.

The closing is scheduled for Friday, September 13, 2019 Changes to County Board Dates Motion by Johnson, second by Lindquist and unanimously carried to move the Board of Commissioners meeting and Truth in Taxation scheduled for December 10, 2019 to December 3, 2019.
