Attached you will find a five-page document that includes the following:
•Otter Tail County’s 2018 (past year) Public Policy Priorities – two pages
•Otter Tail County's Bonding Priorities – one page
•Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) 2019 Legislative Recommendations/Priorities
(10 statements highlighted in yellow)

(8 statements highlighted in yellow)
Guided by the information included in the following pages, our general discussion’s goal, scheduled for
11:20 a.m. on Tuesday, January 8th is to discuss and identify Otter Tail’s 2019 Public Policy Priorities.
In turn, Nick and the communications team will be guided by this discussion in developing Otter Tail
County’s 2019 Public Policy Priorities informational documents, flyers, etc.
OTTER TAIL COUNTY - MINNESOTA
2019 LEGISLATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
BROADBAND
MENTAL HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE
TRANSPORTATION/TRAILS
INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE
TO SERVE THE MENTALLY ILL
Support a bonding bill that includes the build-out of regional
mental health triage centers, community placement options
and group residential housing.
ADDRESS MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS IN COUNTY JAILS
AND JUVENILE FACILITIES
Support pilot projects and other efforts to manage
mental health issues before people come into the
criminal justice system.
SUPPORT CONTINUES COMPREHENSIVE FUNDING THAT INCLUDES NEW REVENUE FOR ROADS, BRIDGES AND TRANSIT
Enact a
Comprehensive
Transportation
Funding Bill.
Fully fund the Local
Road Wetland
Replacement Program.
Fund the Local Bridge
Replacement Program.
Fund the Local Road
Improvement Program.
Fund multi-use trails.
Support the build-out of broadband infrastructure in Minnesota, including legislation that would provide continued funding
for the Border-to-Border Broadband Development Grant Program.
BROADBAND
“I use to move home from college over the summers. One summer I was taking online classes. The internet at my house was so terrible
I had to drive to Battle Lake and use the internet from the liquor store. There I was parked in front of the liquor store trying to take
online biology quizzes. I didn’t move back home the next summer and my seasonal employer lost a trained staff member.”
MENTAL HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE
“In the almost thirty years that I have worked in corrections, the problems with mental illness in jails have increased at an alarming
rate. Since the closure of so many state run mental hospitals, there is a shortage of beds and resources in the state. Because of that,
county jails have become the dumping grounds for people with behavioral/mental health issues. When resources and treatment
options are not readily available, untreated individuals act out in ways that often draw the attention of law enforcement. Sometimes
for the safety of themselves and others it is necessary to hold these individuals in the legal system with criminal proceedings until
the lengthier civil commitment proceedings can be completed. The drug problem in this area has also increased at an alarming level,
and abuse of chemicals can often compound mental health issues. Our facility added five holding cells this past year. Sadly, these cells
often seem to become a mini psychiatric ward for people on special suicide precaution watch or with mental health issues so severe
they cannot be housed with the general population.”
TRANSPORTATION/TRAILS
“Bad roads slow commerce. I need good roads to haul my final product: grain to elevators and sugar beets to the piles. If elevators
in Otter Tail County do not have good roads why would farmers haul there? Rough roads are tough on equipment. Good road
structure is essential for safety. Too narrow of a road makes it difficult for equipment where wide roads allow for equipment to pull
over and make room for other cars. Bad roads are bad for business overall."

Hazard Mitigation Assistance Agreement for Counties utilizing HSEM Plan Update Consultant
Overview
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance grants are administered in the State of Minnesota by the Minnesota Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM). Mitigation Plans form the foundation for a community's long-term strategy to reduce disaster losses and break the cycle of disaster damage, reconstruction, and repeated damage. The planning process
is as important as the plan itself. It creates a framework for risk-based decision making to reduce damages
to lives, property, and the economy from future disasters. Hazard mitigation is any sustained action taken to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and their property from natural hazards. This is a cost share grant program with FEMA paying 75% of all eligible costs and the local community
being responsible for the remaining 25% of the costs. Eligible applicants include local (county/city/tribal)
governments. Responsibilities The State will be hiring consultants and is responsible for 75% of costs of the plan. The jurisdiction is
responsible for collaborating, coordinating and communicating with HSEM staff and contractor to assist in
the development of a FEMA approved and adopted Hazard Mitigation Plan update. 1. Resolution To ensure your contribution in the HMP Update process, we request your jurisdiction pass a resolution
indicating the desire to participate in this program.
2. Letter of Commitment of Funds As part of the documentation submitted to FEMA, a Letter of Commitment of Funds for the 25% local match of in-kind services or cash is required. If you wish to provide in-kind match, instead of cash
match, (or a combination of the two) please fill out attached budget sheet and provide required
documentation.
County Staff – Provide County staff (base plus fringe) breakout for project manager, staff support,
subcommittee reps, technical experts, etc. provided by payroll system.
Hazard Mitigation Plan Update Process The mitigation plan update process is a coordinated effort typically lead by the county Emergency Management Director (EMD) and other staff. The Scope of Work (SOW) includes steps that lead to a FEMA approved multijurisdictional mitigation plan in normally 18 months. The SOW includes:
• Planning Process: A contract between the county and the state is approved. The county EMD coordinates with its consultant to develop a schedule for team and public meetings. The county assists with acquiring data for the plan update and coordinates with other county agencies to participate in the plan update process. This step provides the scope for the entire update process until the plan is sent for
review. The EMD will be responsible for submitting quarterly narrative reports detailing progress and
delays. The county and its consultant will also track local match to be used for financial reporting. Also, team members are responsible for coordinating reviews with their staff and elected officials.
• Risk Assessment: The EMD and mitigation team will review the hazards from the initial plan and
determine which ones will continue to be profiled. New hazards may be added. All hazards will conform to the terminology in the State Mitigation Plan. The consultant will then develop the Risk and Vulnerability assessment based on the hazards. The EMD will participate in any surveys and reviews of the draft risk assessment and give input to the consultant.
• Mitigation Actions: The mitigation actions are based on hazards in the risk assessment and the actions found in the initial plan. The consult will facilitate this review with the mitigation team and include new mitigation action.
• Draft Plan and Public Review: The consultant completes the first draft of the mitigation plan. A public notice is given for jurisdictions to participate in meetings or give electronic input to the plan. This input is documented and factored into the plan. The EMD will follow local policy as far as having the county board and other elected/appointed bodies review the plan.
• Review: After all input is reviewed then the plan is sent to the state mitigation staff for review. The consultant will also provide a matrix to show how the plan meets requirements. The coordinated review between state mitigation staff and FEMA may take up to 90 days. Revisions may extend the
time to have the plan meet requirements.
• Plan Adoption and Approval: FEMA will send a letter stating that the plan meets requirements and that it needs to be adopted to become approved. The EMD coordinates an adoption of the plan by
resolution of the county board. The resolution and final copy of the plan is sent to state mitigation
staff. The EMD will obtain resolutions adopting the plan from the other jurisdictions (cities) participating in the update process and send to state mitigation staff. FEMA will then approve those jurisdictions.
• Project Closeout: FEMA approval of the county marks the completion of the project. EMDs and counties will reconcile accounts for local match and provide any documentation.
