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.

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.

Otter Tail County Tobacco Ordinances
Public Health Director Jody Lien informed the Board that Otter Tail County has two (2) Ordinances regarding
tobacco which include the Otter Tail County Tobacco Ordinance and the Public Health Regulation on the

a portion of the existing hospital and clinic along U.S. Highway 71 to support certain operations. The current
estimate amount to be financed for the project is $81,000,000 and anticipates two-thirds of the long-term
financing be a direct loan from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) extended through
Minnesota Rural Development under its Community Facilities Program. The USDA prefers on projects of
this size that a portion of the long-term financing be extended by other parties. Tri-County Health Care is
requesting that Otter Tail County authorize the City of Bertha to issue tax-exempt debt for the new site and
conduct a public hearing relative to the project and the financing. They will communicate with County Auditor-
Treasurer, Wayne Stein a date and time for the public hearing.

$2,288.00 from the General Revenue Fund to Sanford Health for costs incurred under the provisions of
Minnesota Statute 609.35.
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.

Member ____________________ introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION APPROVING TAX ABATEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN OTTER TAIL
COUNTY AND NORTHSTAR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, LLC
Otter Tail County Resolution No. 2019 – 65
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Otter Tail County, Minnesota (the "County"), as follows:
1. Recitals.
(a) The County has been requested by Northstar Behavioral Health, LLC (the
“Company”) to facilitate the operation of a chemical dependency treatment and mental
health services facility to be leased by the Company (the "Project"). The County has
approved to use property tax abatements for the Project provided for in Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 469.1812 through 469.1815 (the "Abatement Law"), from the property
taxes to be levied by the County on Parcel Identification Number 71003500195064 (the
"Tax Abatement Property").
(b) It is proposed that the County will enter into a Tax Abatement Agreement
with the Company (the "Tax Abatement Agreement"), which provides for the use of tax
abatements to finance the Project in accordance with the Abatement Law and Minnesota
Statutes, Section 116J.993 to 116J.995 (the "Business Subsidy Act").
2. Setting Goals at Zero. In accordance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes,
Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 (the “Business Subsidies Act”), the County has determined that
the public purpose of the Project is to increase the tax base in the County and provide services to
residents of the County. After holding a public hearing on September 10, 2019, the County has
determined that creation and retention of jobs is not a goal of the Business Subsidy for this
Project and consequently hereby sets the wage and job goals for the Project at zero.
3. Approval of Tax Abatement Agreement.
(a) The Board hereby approves a Tax Abatement Agreement providing for
payment of the Abatement in substantially the form submitted, and the Board Chair and
County Administrator are hereby authorized and directed to execute the Tax Abatement
Agreement on behalf of the County.
(b) The approval hereby given to the Tax Abatement Agreement includes
approval of such additional details therein as may be necessary and appropriate and such
modifications thereof, deletions therefrom and additions thereto as may be necessary and
appropriate and approved by the County officials authorized by this resolution to execute
the Tax Abatement Agreement. The execution of the Tax Abatement Agreement by the
appropriate officer or officers of the County shall be conclusive evidence of the approval
of the Tax Abatement Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

UNDERTAKINGS BY COMPANY AND COUNTY
Section 3.1 Project. The costs of the Project shall be paid by the Company. In
consideration for the undertaking of the Project by the Company, the County shall pay the
Company the Tax Abatements in an amount not to exceed $265,380, pursuant to the Tax
Abatement Program as provided in Section 3.7. The Company further agrees that it will
construct the capital improvements in accordance with the Lease and at all times prior to the
termination of this Agreement will operate and maintain the Project as required by the Lease.
Section 3.2 Limitations on Undertaking of the County. Notwithstanding the provisions
of Sections 3.1, the County shall have no obligation to the Company under this Agreement to pay
the Company the Tax Abatements, if the County, at the time or times such payment is to be
made, is entitled under Section 4.2 to exercise any of the remedies set forth therein as a result of
an Event of Default which has not been cured.
Section 3.3 Business Subsidies Act.
(1) In order to satisfy the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to
116J.995 (the "Business Subsidies Act"), the Company acknowledges and agrees that the amount
of the "Business Subsidy" granted to the Company under this Agreement is $265,380 and that

to undertake without the Business Subsidy.
(2) The creation of jobs has been determined not to be a goal of the County for the
Project pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 116J.993 to 116J.995 and the County has held a
public hearing and set the wage and job goals at zero.
(3) The Company shall provide the County with information about the Project as

Statutes, Section 116J.994, Subd. 8.

years after the benefit date, which is the date the Developer completes construction of the Project

financial assistance for the Project.

successors or assigns of the Company approved by County as set forth in Section 3.5 below,
during the Term.
Section 3.5 Transfer of Project and Assignment of Agreement. The Company represents
and agrees that prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement the Company shall
not assign this Agreement, without the prior written approval of the County, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The County shall be entitled to
require as conditions to any such approval that:
(1) Any proposed transferee shall have the qualifications and financial responsibility,
in the reasonable judgment of the County, necessary and adequate to fulfill the obligations
undertaken in this Agreement by the Company.
(2) Any proposed transferee, by instrument in writing satisfactory to the County shall,
for itself and its successors and assigns, and expressly for the benefit of the County, have
expressly assumed all of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and agreed to be
subject to all the conditions and restrictions to which the Company is subject.
(3) There shall be submitted to the County for review and prior written approval all
instruments and other legal documents involved in effecting the transfer of any interest in this
Agreement or the Project. The County shall provide the Company with written approval or
denial within thirty (30) days of the Company's request therefor. In the event of a transfer of the
Project to a transferee approved by County, the Company shall be released from liability
hereunder after the date of such transfer, and County shall look solely to such transferee to fulfill
the obligation of the Company hereunder.
Section 3.6 Real Property Taxes. The Company shall, so long as this Agreement
remains in effect, pay all real property taxes with respect to all parts of the Tax Abatement
Property owned by it which are payable pursuant to any statutory or contractual duty that shall
accrue until title to the property is vested in another person. The Company agrees that for tax
assessments so long as this Agreement remains in effect:
(1) It will not challenge the market value of the Tax Abatement Property with respect
to the Project.
(2) It will not seek administrative review or judicial review of the applicability of any
tax statute relating to the ad valorem property taxation with respect to the Project determined by
any tax official to be applicable to the Project or the Company or raise the inapplicability of any
such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings with respect to the Project, including delinquent
tax proceedings; provided, however, “tax statute” does not include any local ordinance or
resolution levying a tax;
(3) It will not seek administrative review or judicial review of the constitutionality of
any tax statute relating to the taxation of real property with respect to the Project determined by
any tax official to be applicable to the Project or the Company or raise the unconstitutionality of
any such tax statute as a defense in any proceedings, including delinquent tax proceedings with
respect to the Tax Abatement Property; provided, however, “tax statute” does not include any
local ordinance or resolution levying a tax;
12027734v4
7
(4) It will not seek any tax deferral or abatement, either presently or prospectively
authorized under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.181, or any other State or federal law, of the
ad valorem property taxation with respect to the Project so long as this Agreement remains in

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED PROJECT AND THE ISSUANCE OF
PRIVATE ACTIVITY BONDS
OTTER TAIL COUNTY, MINNESOTA
Notice is hereby given that the Board of Commissioners of Otter Tail County, Minnesota (the
“County”) will meet on Tuesday, _____________, 2019, at ______ __.m., or as soon
thereafter as reasonably possible in the ________,
________________________________, __________, Minnesota, for the purpose of
conducting a public hearing to consider giving host approval to the issuance by the City of
Bertha, Minnesota (the “Issuer”) of revenue obligations, in one or more series, under Minnesota
Statutes, Sections 469.152 through 469.1655 (the “Act”), in order to finance the cost of a project
and refinance existing projects (together, the “Projects”) located in the County and the City of
Wadena, Minnesota (the “City”). Each of the Projects will be owned and operated by Tri-County
Hospital, d/b/a Tri-County Health Care (the “Borrower”), a Minnesota nonprofit corporation
and organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
The proposed project (the “2019 Project”) will consist of financing (a) the acquisition of land,
constructing and equipping an approximately 120,000 square foot replacement critical access
hospital and clinic facilities to be located at 63835 Highway 10 in Otter Tail County adjacent to
the City (the “New Facilities”); (b) related renovations to the existing hospital and clinic facilities
located at 415 Jefferson St N and 4 Deerwood Avenue NW, within the City of Wadena,
Minnesota (the “Existing Facilities”); (c) financing capitalized interest; and (d) paying costs
associated with the financing. The New Facilities will be owned and operated by the Borrower in
conjunction with the Existing Facilities.
The Projects are located in the jurisdiction of the City and the County (together, the County, the
Issuer and the City are referred to as the “Host Municipalities”). The total amount of the
obligations to be issued presently being estimated at not to exceed $81,000,000.
The obligations and interest thereon shall not be payable from nor charged against any funds of
the Host Municipalities other than revenue pledged for the payment thereof, nor shall the Host
Municipalities be subject to any liability thereon. No holders of the obligations shall ever have
the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the Host Municipalities to pay the
obligations or the interest thereon, nor to enforce payment against any property of the Host
Municipalities. Such obligations shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance, legal or
equitable, upon any property of the Host Municipalities, nor shall the same constitute a debt of
the Host Municipalities within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitations.
In conjunction with the refinance of existing projects, the Issuer has been requested by the
Borrower to refund the following obligations (a) the Issuer’s $1,743,638 Health Care Facilities
Revenue Note, Series 2017A (Tri-County Health Care Project); (b) the Issuer’s $5,456,362
Health Care Facilities Revenue Note, Series 2017B; (c) the City of Verndale, Minnesota
$1,743,638 Health Care Facilities Revenue Note, Series 2017A; and (d) the City of Verndale,
Minnesota $5,456,362 Health Care Facilities Revenue Note, Series 2017B (together the “Series
2017 Notes”).
The proceeds of the Series 2017 Notes were used to finance and refinance capital expenditures at
the Existing Facilities, as follows: (a) constructing and equipping a portion of a 30,000 square
foot expansion and remodel of the existing hospital, affecting emergency room services, surgery,
lab, radiology, medical records, dietary, materials management, business office and physical
2
therapy; (b)(i) constructing and equipping a rural health clinic located at 214 First Street NW,
Bertha, Minnesota; (ii) constructing and equipping a 2,200 square foot expansion, remodeling
and other improvements to the Wadena Clinic, located at 415 Jefferson Street North and 4
Deerwood Avenue NW in the City; and (iii) a remodel of the existing hospital affecting
pharmacy, registration, gift shop and administration; and (c) constructing of a one-story slab on
grade, free standing, approximately 17,563 square foot building and related improvments
located adjacent to 240 Shady Lane Drive in the City to be used as a 16-bed short term
community based residential treatment facility for persons in acute psychiatric status.
All persons interested may appear and be heard at the time and place set forth above or may
submit written comments to the Clerk of the Board of Commissioners in advance of the hearing.

Re: Request from Tri-County Health Care
Please accept my thanks for the time and help you have provided to me, and thus to Tri-County
Health Care, during the recent conversations I have had with each of you. This memo is
intended to assure that I communicate clearly with you and your colleagues as we move toward
suitable financing for Tri-County’s upcoming project.
As you are aware, Tri-County intends to construct a new hospital and clinic facility beginning
around the middle of next year, with a target opening during the fall of 2022. Tri-County is
focused on a site at the northwest corner of U.S. Highway 10 and 11th Street Northwest. Tri-
County does not intend to dispose of all of its current land and facilities along U.S. Highway 71
after completion of the new facility; instead, it intends to remodel a portion of the existing
hospital and clinic complex to continue to support certain operations. Tri-County has looked at a
variety of options regarding the rest of that complex, but I have not heard that there has been any
definitive decision on that question as yet.
Tri-County will require financing for most of the cost of this project. In addition, Tri-County has
existing long-term debt which will be refinanced in conjunction with the project financing.
Although subject to change, our current estimate of the amount to be financed is $81 million.
Tri-County’s plan of finance has several elements. It anticipates that two-thirds, or $54 million,
of the long-term financing will be a direct loan from the United States Department of Agriculture
extended through Minnesota Rural Development under its Community Facilities Program. Tri-
County has used this program before, and is in the midst of assembling an application after
preliminary consultation with Rural Development staff.
The USDA prefers on projects of this size that a portion of the long-term financing be extended
by other parties. This element of the plan of finance is currently sized at $27 million. In
addition, the USDA does not close and fund its direct loan or effectuate any guarantees until
project completion. Thus, it is also necessary that there be short-term construction financing,
which is replaced by the long-term financing upon project completion. Depending on how the
non-USDA long-term financing is structured and when it closes, the short-term construction
financing may be either $54 million or $81 million.
2
Non-profit corporations which own healthcare facilities have the privilege under both Federal
and State law to benefit from the use of tax-exempt financing with the cooperation of local
public bodies. Tri-County has used this option before, and prefers that both of the elements of its
plan of finance which will not be funded directly by the USDA – the other $27 million in long-
term financing, and also all of the short-term construction financing – be issued as tax-exempt.
Tri-County’s plan of finance calls for the $27 million in long-term financing to be issued
sometime during the first half of 2020, and we expect to be back in conversation with most or all
of you about that later, although we are happy to tell you more about that aspect of the plan of
finance now if you like. However, our current focus is the construction financing, which we
seek to close by the end of 2019.
When we have worked with Tri-County in the past, the path to a tax-exempt financing has
always started with the City of Wadena, since it has the statutory authority to issue tax-exempt
financing of this type, and it has jurisdiction over Tri-County’s existing hospital and clinic
complex. We seek the City’s assistance again this time, in that at least some of the proceeds of
the financing will be used to improve the existing hospital and clinic complex.
It is possible that by the time we close the construction financing the land on which Tri-County
intends to build its new facility will have been annexed into the City of Wadena, and the City
would therefore have jurisdiction over all locations in which financing proceeds will be used.
However, that is not certain. And since it takes some time to arrange a financing of this size and
type, it is important that we begin taking steps soon. As a result, we have asked that Otter Tail
County cooperate as well as the City of Wadena. Regardless of the timing of the annexation of
the new site into the City, we know that that site is now, and will continue to be, in the County.
Thus, the City and the County acting together will cover both of the sites in question.
We have also asked the City of Bertha to assist. Both Bertha and Verndale assisted with a 2017
refinancing for Tri-County. We asked them to do so in order to make it possible for the entire
approximately $14 million involved to be issued not only as tax-exempt but also as bank-
qualified. This additional designation offers a slight additional tax advantage to banks
purchasing such loans, but is only available on amounts of $10 million or less, issued by
municipalities planning to issue $10 million or less in total new tax-exempt financing during the
calendar year in question. Wadena already had used much of its $10 million in capacity for that
year, so we asked Bertha and Verndale each to issue about $7 million and, as neither had
significant bonding plans of their own, they were willing and able to assist. Wadena’s
cooperation was also important, since neither Bertha nor Verndale had jurisdiction over the
assets refinanced, but Wadena did.
We are planning on a similar arrangement this time, although for somewhat different reasons. In
this case, we are not planning to apportion the construction financing among multiple
communities, working around their other bonding plans and staying within the $10 million bank-
qualification threshold; at the $81 million level, that would require at least nine different
municipalities to participate, and possibly more. Although there would be a modest rate
improvement, the average length of time the construction financing will be outstanding will be
short enough, and thus the amount of additional interest modest enough, that it would simply not
justify the additional legal costs, time, and complexity involved.
Instead, although the construction financing will be tax-exempt, we do not seek bank-
qualification. As a result, the $10 million limitation does not apply, and all parties are best
3
served by the debt being issued by a municipality which has no other bonding plans for 2019.
Otter Tail County and the City of Wadena have already issued bank-qualified tax-exempt debt
during 2019, but the City of Bertha has not, and does not plan to. As a result, Bertha is better
positioned to actually issue the debt. Thus, we envision:
Otter Tail County authorizing the City of Bertha to issue tax-exempt debt for the new site;
The City of Wadena authorizing the City of Bertha to issue tax-exempt debt for remodeling on
the existing site; and
The City of Bertha issuing non-bank-qualified, tax-exempt debt for both sites in the entire
amount of construction financing required, up to a current estimate of $81 million.
Since both Bertha and Wadena have both issued for Tri-County before, and since my preliminary
conversation with Wayne suggests that Otter Tail County is a frequent and sophisticated issuer, I
assume that I need not provide much detail regarding the lack of liability associated with this
type of cooperation, whether on the part of Otter Tail County and the City of Wadena as “host”
municipalities or on the part of the City of Bertha as a “conduit” issuer.
The first step will be for each of these public bodies to agree to conduct a public hearing relative
to the project and the financing. Based on the conversation I have had with each of you, I
anticipate first visits, at which the idea of a later public hearing can be considered, as follows:
Bertha City Council 6:30 pm Monday, September 9
Otter Tail County Finance Committee Tuesday, September 10
Wadena City Council 5 pm Tuesday, September 10
Wayne told me that the time of the Finance Committee meeting will not be available until after 2
pm Thursday, September 5, but that it was virtually certain not to conflict with the Wadena City
Council meeting. Kim Aagard, Tri-County’s CFO, tells me that either she or Joel Beiswenger,
Tri-County’s CEO, will plan to attend the two City Council meetings, and will seek to make the
Finance Committee meeting as well.
Fryberger, Buchanan, Smith & Frederick of Duluth has been engaged to serve as bond counsel,
and will prepare resolutions for the two cities to consider, and a draft form of notice for each of
the three public bodies. Our current intention is that the date of each public hearing be left open,
to be set later through consultation between staff at the public body in question and Tri-County
and its representatives. I have asked that drafts be sent to you well in advance.
Final approvals – and the public hearings as well, if everyone is comfortable leaving them to
occur at the same time as final approval – will not occur until the deal is struck, and the financing
documents are in substantially final form. It is possible that would not be until December,
although it could be earlier. We would expect that each public body involved would have the
relevant documents reviewed by counsel or by their financial advisor. Of course, Tri-County
understands that it will be expected to pay or reimburse any related costs.
If you have questions, or would like to discuss any aspect of this further before the meetings in
September, please let me know.
Thanks for your time and help so far, and for considering Tri-County’s request!

OTTER TAIL COUNTY - MINNESOTA
Property Tax Rebate Program for
New Single and Two-family Homes
Intent
The purpose of the Otter Tail County Tax Rebate Program is to encourage the construction of new
primary residence single and two-family housing units and to encourage replacement of dilapidated
housing structures within Otter Tail County between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022.
Eligible Participants
Any person who constructs a new single family or two-family home and who files application materials
and seeks formal approval from appropriate local jurisdictions between January 1, 2020 and
December 31, 2022 may be eligible to receive a 100% tax rebate of the County’s share of increased
real estate taxes as a result of building a new home, for a period of up to five (5) years or up to $5,000
(whichever is met first) provided all of the following criteria are met:
1. Property is located within Otter Tail County and zoned properly for the proposed residence.
2. The applicant/property shall not have benefitted other local financial assistance (including tax
increment financing (TIF), Workforce Housing, Small Cities Development Program).
3. Project is built to any and all applicable zoning and building codes adopted at the time the
building/zoning permit is obtained.
4. Property taxes are current and paid on time and in full. Failure to keep property taxes current
shall result in revocation of the tax rebate for each year taxes are not current.
5. Program approvals must be obtained prior to the start of construction of the new home.
The real estate taxes to be rebated shall be for up to the full amount of the real estate taxes collected
resulting from the added tax base of the newly constructed home annually. The current value of the
property (defined as “original value”) will not be rebated as part of this program. Any eligible rebate is
calculated on the tax increase due to a value increase over the original value.
Partially constructed housing may result in the rebate in the first rebate year that may be significantly
less than the following years. This will still be considered one of the five years of eligible rebate.
In the event the property owner refuses access to County Assessor staff to perform an appraisal for
tax assessment purposes, the tax rebate shall expire for the remaining term of the rebate period.
The rebate period will begin in the tax year the property realizes a value increase over original value
due to construction of the housing project. In the event construction has not commenced within one
year of approval, the rebate is eliminated and the property owner will need to reapply in accordance
with the program. Additionally, the rebate:
• Will transfer with the sale of the property for the balance of the five-year period or until the
$5,000 maximum rebate is met
• Does not include voter approved property tax referendums
• Does not apply to or include existing and/or new assessments to the property
The County shall provide the awarded rebate payment following payment of due real estate taxes
annually. One single payment shall be made to the owner of record at the time of the payment by
December 30 for that calendar year.
Adopted: Page 2 of 2
Application
Minnesota Statute requires the County to approve each rebate application. Thus, all applications will
be considered on a “first come – first served” basis. The acceptance of new applications will be
contingent upon board approval.
A complete application shall consist of the following:
• A letter requesting rebate for eligible projects addressed to the Otter Tail County
Community Development Director;
• Legal description of the subject property, including address and/or property identification
number;
• A site plan and construction plans for the proposed project; and
• Submit a copy of the building/zoning permit once received, as applicable.
Applicant shall sign a statement to the effect that no construction has started prior to the County
Board decision on the applicant’s rebate request. For the purposes of this provision, construction shall
include the installation of footings, slab, foundation, posts, walls or other portions of a building. Site
preparation, land clearing or the installation of utilities shall not constitute construction.
The Community Development Director will forward the completed application to the County Board for
consideration. The County Board shall schedule a date for a public hearing on the request(s) pursuant
to Minnesota Statute, Sections 469.1812 to 469.1815 to receive public input on each request and
shall pass a resolution to approve or deny said application.
The Community Development Director shall also forward the completed application to the appropriate
City or Township and School District in the event one or more of these taxing jurisdictions have
adopted policies and procedures for property tax rebates for single family or two-family residential
construction.
Prior to the public hearing, Otter Tail County staff will perform a site inspection to verify no
construction has commenced.
Each taxing entity retains its individual authority on property tax rebates. The County is solely
responsible for its share of property tax rebates and this policy does not allow the County to rebate
City, Township or School District property taxes.
