WHAT IS AMENDMENT 6? WHAT’S NEXT?
At our February 25th Avenu All User Meeting, we discussed the Tax and CAMA project and the
missed go live date of February 2019. In that meeting, initially the CAMA group voted to take
action to file for breach due to the missed date and the Tax group voted to move forward to
negotiate a new go live date. As it is the same contract, the groups re-voted and made the
decision for the Steering Committee and a Negotiating Team to negotiate an amendment to our
development contract (which is one contract that includes Tax and CAMA) to allow counties out
of either the Tax and/or CAMA portion of the project with no financial impact to the remaining
counties and no additional costs to the counties leaving.
On August 2nd, the full Avenu Tax and CAMA User Groups met and approved the proposed
Amendment 6 with an adjustment to the dates. On August 8th, the MnCCC Board also approved
Amendment 6. The next step is to notify MnCCC of your intent for going forward with the
project. At the end of this document is a one-page form to be completed and returned to
MnCCC no later than October 16, 2019.
Here’s a summary of what is included in Amendment 6:
• Extension of four years (through 2026) and price freeze of maintenance and support on
the new Tax and CAMA systems after go-live.
• Payment of late fees in the amount of $100,000, as agreed upon in our last extension.
Partial payment has been received.
• Dispute Resolution process is waived in the event of a missed completion date, but will
remain in place for any other disputes.
• Project completion date and go-live date have been updated to June 1, 2021 and June
30, 2021. If these dates are not met, MnCCC may terminate the development
agreement and new support agreements. Also, the legacy systems support can be
extended for a period of three years (through 2023). If Avenu is unwilling or unable to
provide support on the legacy systems during this time, MnCCC will receive fully
functioning systems, source codes, documentation and other information required for
us to have a third-party maintain and support the legacy systems.
• Counties, at their choice, can terminate their participation and any future financial
obligations in the Tax and/or CAMA projects. This would remove them from both the
development contract, or portion of the development contract (Tax or CAMA) and the
future maintenance and support agreement. There would be no financial impact to
those counties that choose to stay with the project. If less than 21 counties choose to
stay in the project, then either MnCCC or Avenu can terminate the development and
maintenance and support agreements on the new products. To be clear, for the project
to automatically continue we will need at least 21 counties on Tax and 21 counties on
CAMA to agree to remain participants in the project. If less than 21 counties on Tax or
less than 21 counties on Cama agree to continue with the project, then both Avenu and
MnCCC will have the option to cancel the development contract and the contracts for
support and maintenance of the new system.
• A list of up to seven new enhancements (not to exceed 1200 hours total) will be
developed and agreed upon by November 29, 2019 in exchange for the extended
project completion.
• Required training for Avenu Support Staff, including:
o Taking Minnesota classes from MNDOR, IAAD, IPTI to include:
▪ DOR Tax Calculation Course and Pass rate for exam: one person by
December 1, 2019 and all dedicated MnCCC Project Plan support staff by
June 30, 2020
▪ Assessors Class and Pass Rates: one person by December 1, 2019 and all
dedicated MnCCC Project Plan support staff by June 30, 2020
o Support Staff will shadow an MnCCC designated member staff for one date every
three years at Avenu’s expense.
• Avenu will assume all responsibility for training registration on the new project and
tester training.
• Avenu will change terms, effective October 31, 2019 throughout the systems:
o Assessment Unit to Valuation Record
o OBXF to XFOB
• Optional support for legacy systems for up to an additional three years at current rates;
allow each county the option to participate in Tax and/or CAMA legacy support.
• Avenu will be required, at their costs, to conduct usability labs on the new products.
Results of which will be part of MnCCC’s final approval for go-live.
• Avenu will improve the remote testing environment for more efficient testing.
• Avenu will include, at a minimum, skilled trainers and curriculum to “achieve new
system proficiency and legacy system proficiency” in an effort to improve the training
experience for MnCCC members.
• Avenu will provide hosting services for legacy system customers with an aging iSeries up
through their scheduled implementation date.

North Country Food Bank
Susie Novak, Executive Director of North Country Food Bank, described that a new facility is needed because of
inadequate food storage, to meet state compliance requirements, and to obtain a licensed clean room for product
repacking. Through the sponsorship of Polk County, the legislature approved a bonding bill in 2018, but the food
bank will still need to raise at least $1,000,000 to build the facility. The North Country Food Bank is centrally located
in Crookston, MN, and services counties as far north as Lake of the Woods and south to the Stevens County area.
Executive Director Mary Phillipe of United Way stated that the food bank currently provides nearly 15,000 meals for
the backpack program and is a partner locally. Motion by Johnson, second by Rogness and unanimously carried to
provide $50,000 in funding for the new North Country Food Bank facility.

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.”
CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY TREATMENT
“For the first time in history, people are more likely to die from a drug overdose than a car accident. Yet, in 2017, legislative changes
were made that limit who can complete comprehensive chemical use assessments. With a current shortage of Licensed Alcohol
and Drug Counselors, we have significant concerns that people in Otter Tail County and statewide will not have timely access to an
assessment and subsequent treatment.”
INFRASTRUCTURE
“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.”

Title: Writing Your Own Narrative
Session
Description:
Explore how one county, Otter Tail, documents
rather than producers to inform the public and
2
market their county as a great place to work, live
and play. Public perception and ever evolving
technology require that governmental entities
take an innovative approach to communications
and public engagement.

Initiative Coordinator
Nick Leonard, External Communications Director,
Otter Tail County Shannon Terry, Public
Information Officer, Otter Tail County

that you want to share with participants. Please send Laurie Klupacs any presentations/handouts
that you would like us to post on our website for attendee access.
Thank you again for submitting your workshop proposal! We’re excited to have selected your
workshop and believe your presentation will provide our members and conference participants a
