Agreement
Between the University of Minnesota And
Otter Tail County For providing Extension programs locally and Employing Extension Staff
This Agreement (“Agreement”) between the County of Otter Tail Minnesota (“County”) and
the Regents of the University of Minnesota on behalf of its Extension unit, 240 Coffey Hall, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55108 (“University”) is effective January 1, 2019, and supersedes and replaces any and all current or existing agreements relating to Extension and its programs that may exist between the County and University.
The term of this Agreement shall be three (3) years, beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021, unless earlier terminated as provided in paragraphs 8 and 9. WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Minn. Stat. §38.34 authorizes a Board of County Commissioners to incur expenses and spend money for County Extension work; and WHEREAS, the money set aside and appropriated by the County Board in the County
Extension Fund may be paid out by orders of the University’s Director of Extension, or the Director’s
designee, as identified in Minn. Stat. §38.36, Subd. 3; and WHEREAS, Minn. Stat. §38.37 provides that Extension educators must be employed according to University personnel procedures and must be University employees; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the County and University that the University shall provide Extension services on behalf of the County in exchange for considerations as detailed herein. NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertaking and agreements contained
within this Agreement, the County and University hereby agree as follows:
1. In accordance with Minn. Stat. §38.37 County desires to augment University’s state-wide Extension programs. The programs that the County will augment are detailed in Table A below.
Table A
Program FTE 2019 Price FTE 2020 Price FTE 2021 Price
4-H Program Coordinator 3.80 $280,364 3.80 $285,973 3.80 $291,692
Master Gardener Coordinator 0.20 $14,756 0.20 $15,051 0.20 $15,352
Total 4.00 $295,120 4.00 $301,024 4.00 $307,044
2. County recognizes that University costs for supporting these positions may increase from year to year. The costs payable for these positions are reviewed by the Association of Minnesota Counties’ (“AMC”) Extension Committee and University’s Extension central administration, at which time the parties will agree on an appropriate inflation factor for the
coming year(s). Unless County and University otherwise agree, the inflation factor will be as agreed to by AMC and University. 3. Based on the County’s funding commitment, University will be responsible for providing
salary & fringe benefits for the positions, enhanced programming from regional extension
educator staff, program supervision, travel (mileage, meals, and lodging), in-service training within program area, payroll, and accounting services. The County agrees to provide local support in the form of office space, telephone, computer, network connections for email and other communications, software, support staff and other
general office supplies. The University will recommend technology needs and other office standards. Nevertheless, the level of availability and type of such support will be determined by the County.
4. University will bill the County on a quarterly basis and the County will submit payment within
35 days of receipt of the bill. The total annual amount to be paid by the County shall be paid in four equal quarterly payments. 5. As vacancies occur, and if the County and University agree to continue to support the desired program and position, University will hire new personnel with involvement and concurrence of
the County Extension Committee. The County will not be billed for a position during the time that position is vacant. 6. The University will complete an annual performance evaluation of each University Extension
employee working in the County and supporting the programs identified in paragraph 1. The
County Extension Committee will have the option to provide input to University on such evaluation. The University in accordance with University personnel guidelines will determine salary adjustment of each University Extension employee.
7. Annually, the County Extension Committee, in coordination with University, will be responsible for approving the County Extension educational programming and services, as provided for in Minn. Stat. §38.34. The parties acknowledge that County extension educational programming includes University’s Nutrition Education Program educational programming.
8. Nothing in this Agreement precludes the County or University at any time during the term of this Agreement from requesting a modification of the County Extension program, including an adjustment of the number of University Extension personnel working in the County. The County or University will provide a minimum of 90 days’ notice if either party desires a change in
programs that results in a decrease in the staffing or funding level, and both parties agree to enter into good faith discussions to address such request. 9. If University or the County in good faith determines that funding is no longer available to support the programs or positions providing services locally, either party may terminate this
Agreement. Termination of the Agreement in its entirety requires a minimum of 90 days prior
notice. Notice shall be dated and provided in writing to the parties listed below as the contacts for this Agreement. If to County: John Dinsmore

extent authorized by law and shall not be responsible for the acts of the other party or the results thereof. The County’s liability is governed by the provisions of Minn. Stat. Chap. 466 and other applicable laws. The University’s liability is governed by the provisions of the Minnesota Tort Claims Act, Minn. Stat. §3.736 and other applicable law.

these records in accordance with applicable law.

Minnesota Statute 273.01; LISTING AND ASSESSMENT, TIME.
All real property subject to taxation shall be listed and at least one-fifth of the parcels listed shall be
appraised each year with reference to their value on January 2 preceding the assessment so that each parcel
shall be reappraised at maximum intervals of five years. All real property becoming taxable in any year
shall be listed with reference to its value on January 2 of that year. Except as provided in this section and
section 274.01, subdivision 1, all real property assessments shall be completed two weeks prior to the date
scheduled for the local board of review or equalization. No changes in valuation or classification which
are intended to correct errors in judgment by the county assessor may be made by the county
assessor after the board of review or the county board of equalization has adjourned; however,
corrections of errors for real or personal property that are merely clerical in nature or changes that
extend homestead treatment to property are permitted after adjournment until the tax extension
date for that assessment year. Any changes made by the assessor after adjournment must be fully
documented and maintained in a file in the assessor's office and shall be available for review by any person.
A copy of any changes made during this period shall be sent to the county board no later than
December 31 of the assessment year. In the event a valuation and classification is not placed on any real
property by the dates scheduled for the local board of review or equalization the valuation and
classification determined in the preceding assessment shall be continued in effect and the provisions of
section 273.13 shall, in such case, not be applicable, except with respect to real estate which has been
constructed since the previous assessment. Real property containing iron ore, the fee to which is owned by
the state of Minnesota, shall, if leased by the state after January 2 in any year, be subject to assessment for
that year on the value of any iron ore removed under said lease prior to January 2 of the following year.
Personal property subject to taxation shall be listed and assessed annually with reference to its value on
January 2; and, if acquired on that day, shall be listed by or for the person acquiring it.
Department of Revenue definition of “Clerical Errors”
“Clerical errors are narrowly defined as errors made by someone doing the work of a clerk. These include
math errors, transposition of numbers, keypunch errors and coding errors. Clerical errors do not include
errors of estimations or incorrect data used in making estimations”.

OTTER TAIL COUNTY
Property Tax Assessment
Abatement Policy
Issued October 1993
Reviewed
Revised July 2009
April 28, 2015
Objective To grant abatements where fairness and equity are required.
Policy Statement To ensure that all taxpayers that apply for an abatement are
consistently, equally and fairly treated.
Scope Real and personal property owners in Otter Tail County
Statutory References Minn. Stat. § 375.192
Minn. Stat. § 273.1233 (Local Option Disaster Abatement)
Policy
Abatements are to correct errors made in a property tax assessment. Abatements are discretionary and
implemented only where fairness and equity require it.
Abatements may be considered on the current (payable) year property tax only. However, an application
of the abatement to the current year and two preceding years may be considered in the case of a clerical
error or when the taxpayer fails to file an application due to a hardship as determined by the Otter Tail
County Board of Commissioners.
“Clerical Errors” is defined as the following per Minnesota Department of Revenue: A “Clerical Error” is
made by someone doing the work of a clerk. These include math errors, transposition of numbers,
keypunch errors, and coding errors. Clerical errors do NOT include poor estimations or incorrect data
used in making the estimations, such as an incorrect record of the actual square footage or the number
of bathrooms. These would be “errors in judgment.”
Abatements may be granted when a taxpayer fails to file application due to a “hardship” which is
determined by the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners. “Hardship” is defined as following: A
documented tragedy or casualty suffered by the property owner such as: death in the immediate family,
extreme or extended illness, accident, fire, or other emergency circumstances that prevented timely
application by the property owner.
Being out of state, not being aware that there was an issue or concern, or personal financial issues are
not to be considered a hardship under this policy.
Property Tax Assessment Abatement Policy – Revised policy adopted by County Board on 4/28/2015
2
An abatement for the current year tax may be granted when a structure is erroneously placed on a parcel.
Abatements will not be granted if there is a question of judgment of the estimated market value or
classification. Questions of judgement regarding the estimated market value or classification will be
considered in the upcoming assessment. The assessment books are considered closed on July 1st of
the assessment year and there is ample opportunity for taxpayer to make an appeal.
Local and County Boards of Appeal and Equalization are held each year.
The assessment books are open to the public for their review at any time. Current assessment data is
on the Otter Tail County website at http://www.co.otter-tail.mn.us/. The responsibility for an accurate
assessment lies with the property owner as well as the Assessor’s Department.
Abatements will not be granted solely due to a selling price being lower than the assessed value.
Abatements resulting in reductions of $50.00 or less in taxes will not be considered. The $50.00 threshold
will be applied on per parcel/per tax payable year basis.
If there are abatement requests that involve $10,000 or more, Otter Tail County will give written notice
within 20 days to the school district and the municipality affected, as required by Minnesota Statute
375.192, Subd. 2.
Homestead Abatement
Abatements may be granted when a taxpayer fails to file an application due to a “hardship” as defined
herein.
Local Option Disaster Abatement – Non-Declared Disaster Area
The “Local Option Disaster Abatement” may be considered for homestead and non-homestead property
that has been unintentionally or accidentally destroyed.
On a written application submitted by the owner, a reduction in value for the current assessment year (for
taxes payable the following year) may be considered provided that the primary structure is at least 50%
destroyed. The value adjustment made as a result of the disaster will be divided by the number of months
the primary structure was usable versus not being usable. (If the primary structure is used for any portion
of a month, it will be considered as usable for the entire month.)
Example:
An event occurred June 30, 2015:
Assessment Year 2014/Payable Year 2015 – An abatement will not be considered in a non-
declared disaster area, because, as of the assessment date, the pre-event value did exist. (Note:
The value and classification that generates the payable 2015 tax is based on the classification
and value as of January 2, 2014.).
Assessment Year 2015/Payable Year 2016 – An abatement may be considered in a non-declared
disaster area because the event occurred after the assessment date for taxes payable in 2016.
Therefore, to grant the property owner(s) relief for an event occurring after the most recent
assessment date, an abatement may be considered. (Note: The value and classification that
generates the payable 2016 tax is based on the classification and value as of January 2, 2015.)
Property Tax Assessment Abatement Policy – Revised policy adopted by County Board on 4/28/2015
3
Assessment Year 2016/Payable Year 2017 – An Abatement no longer needs to be considered in
a non-declared disaster area because for taxes payable in 2017, the tax is based on the value
and classification of the property as of January 2, 2016, which is after the date of the event and,
therefore, will reflect the post event value.
Special Note: Consideration of an abatement in the year of the event is not necessary because
depending upon when the structure is replaced, an additional year of relief is automatically
granted on the back-end of the taxation process. For example, a structure is replaced after
January 2, 2016, which is the assessment date for taxes payable in 2017. Since the structure is
replaced after the assessment date, the value of that structure will not be taxed until 2018,
granting an additional year of relief.
Local Option Disaster Abatement – Declared Disaster Area
The “Local Option Disaster Abatement” may be considered for homestead and non-homestead property
that has been unintentionally or accidentally destroyed.
On a written application submitted by the owner, a reduction in value for the taxes payable in the year in
which the event occurs may be considered provided that the primary structure is at least 50% destroyed.
The abatement, if granted, is equal to the difference in the net tax on the property computed using the
market value of the property established for the January 2 assessment of the year of the event and as
computed using the (post event) reassessed value.
Example:
An event occurred June 30, 2015:
Assessment Year 2014/Payable Year 2015 – A declared disaster area abatement may be
considered because state reimbursements are possible in a declared disaster area.
Assessment Year 2015/Payable Year 2016 – If an abatement is granted in a declared disaster
for Assessment Year 2014/Payable Year 2015, a local option/homestead disaster credit will or
may be granted as authorized under the provision of Minnesota Statute 273.1234 and Minnesota
Statute 273.1235.
Assessment Year 2016/Payable Year 2017 – A declared disaster area abatement or credit no
longer needs to be considered because for taxes payable in 2017, the tax is based on the value
and classification of the property as of January 2, 2016, which is after the date of the event and,
therefore, will reflect the post event value.
Special Note: Local option disaster abatements and local option/homestead disaster credits will
be authorized and implemented only by County Board Resolution.
County Board Delegation
Per the provision of Minnesota Statute 375.192 Subdivision 4, except for the administration of Local
Option Disaster Abatement in a Declared Disaster Area, the County Board of Commissioners hereby
delegates to the Otter Tail County Auditor/Treasurer the authority, power or responsibility assigned to the
County Board as set forth in Minnesota Statute 375.192 for the purpose of administering this policy.

Introduction
The World Health Organization has defined mental health as “a state of well-being in which the
individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of live, can work
productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community (2001).” It is
abundantly clear that the well-being of children is of the utmost importance for the future vitality of our
communities, therefore strong consideration must be given by leadership at all levels to a strong and
accessible system of mental health services for our children. The purpose of this report is to provide
county leadership with a snapshot of the landscape of children’s mental health services and needs
across Otter Tail County. This report is not all-inclusive and is likely missing key components of our
mental health system. That, in and of itself, is indicative of a need for a more holistic approach to
children’s mental health; one that provides equitable opportunity and access to all where clients are
able to seamlessly integrate their needed services for mental health with all other components of
health.
Mental health – an essential part of children’s overall health – has a complex
interactive relationship with their physical health and their ability to succeed in
school, at work and in society. Both physical and mental health affect how we think,
feel and act on the inside and outside (American Psychological Association, 2018).
Local Advisory Council (LAC) Purpose
Minnesota Statute 245.466, Subdivision 5 requires each county board to establish local mental health
advisory councils that reflect a broad range of community interests. The primary function of the council
is to make recommendations regarding the local mental health system. Annually, the local advisory
council is required to do four things:
1. Arrange for input from the regional treatment center’s mental illness program unit regarding
coordination of care between the regional treatment center and community-based services.
2. Identify to the county board education and prevention services in the county.
3. Provide the county board a report on unmet mental health needs & participate in the
development of the mental health plan.
4. Coordinate the review, evaluation, and recommendations regarding the mental health system
with the state advisory council on mental health.
Otter Tail County provides for both an Adult Mental Health Local Advisory Council as well as a Children’s
Mental Health Local Advisory Council. The two LAC’s operate separately with some overlap on
membership. The Adult LAC meets monthly, and the Children’s LAC meets quarterly. The contents of
this report is intended to partially fulfill the statutory purpose of an LAC, particularly as it relates to the
children’s mental health system.

Children’s Mental Health Services in Otter Tail County
Otter Tail County Human Services provides a wide breadth of services for children and families that are
experiencing concerns with mental health. Services are available to children and families in need from
prior to birth (Caring Connections Family Advocate Program, Healthy Families America) all of the way
through adulthood. The county agency and partners work together to provide services including:
• Nutritional programs (WIC, Children’s Consultation Network)
• Parenting Programs (Healthy Families America, Nurse Family Partnership, Parent Support
Outreach Program)
• Child & Family Education (ECFE, Head Start, Child Care Assistance Program, Child Care Aware)
• Respite Care (Children’s Mental Health Respite Grant)
• Case Management (Child Welfare, Mental Health, Targeted Case Management)
• Hotline/Crisis Services (Mobile Mental Health Crisis Response through Lakeland Mental Health
Center [LMHC], First Link)
• Resource & Referral (Childcare Resource & Referral, First Link, MN 211)
• Healthcare Services (Public Health, Follow Along, Child & Teen Checkup, WIC)
• Mental Health Screenings (Child Protection, Juvenile Justice, Head Start, Child & Teen Check Up,
WIC)
• Foster Care & Adoption (Lutheran Social Services, Kindred Family Focus, NorthHomes, Pine
Haven in addition to Otter Tail County Human Services [OTCHS] internal programs)
• Educational Services (Alternative Education Programs, Day Treatment, Job Corps, Incredible
Years through Solutions Behavioral Health, Children’s Therapeutic Services & Supports [CTSS],
School-Based Mental Health)
• Truancy Prevention (Otter Tail Family Services Collaborative work group)
• Outpatient Mental Health Services (Diagnostic Assessments, Psychiatric Assessments,
Medication monitoring/support, Psychological testing, therapy, abuse/trauma, intensive in-
home therapy, CTSS through various providers)
• Chemical Dependency Treatment (LMHC, OTCHS)
• 30-Day Evaluation Program (out of county resource)
• Shelter Care (out of county resource)
• Wraparound & Family Group Decision Making (out of county resource)
• Acute Care & Partial Hospitalization (out of county resources)
• After School Programs (Kinship, etc.)
• Behavioral Support (LMHC, Solutions, The Village Family Service Center, Generations)
• Transitional & Independent Living Skills (OTCHS, Productive Alternatives, Freedom Resource
Center, Mahube-Otwa Community Action, Rural Minnesota Concentrated Employment
Program)
Otter Tail County Human Services cannot alone provide for adequate services for all the needs of
families in the county. Several providers across the county that both reside in the county or operate
within the county are valuable pieces of the mental health system puzzle. Major providers of direct
children mental health services within the county include:
• Lakeland Mental Health Center
pg. 4
• Lutheran Social Services of Minnesota
• Prairie St. Johns
• The Village Family Service Center
• Solutions Behavioral Health
• Kindred Family Focus
In addition to the primary children’s mental health providers, families in Otter Tail County have a variety
of other providers that offer services related to mental health needs of clients.
For several years, Otter Tail Family Services Collaborative has provided supplemental funding for school-
based mental health providers to provide services in Otter Tail County Schools. Based on school
enrollment, the collaborative allocates a certain dollar amount to each school to supplement their
existing resources to contract with partner providers to offer in-house mental health services to their
students. In some of the very small schools, the allowance is unfortunately not large enough to
accommodate a contract with an outside partner provider. In those cases, the school district is allowed
to supplement their school counselor staffing with the collaborative allocations.
Unmet Mental Health Needs for Children in Otter Tail County
Minnesota Perspective
In the Report to the Governor and Legislature (2016), the State Advisory Council on Mental Health &
Subcommittee on Children’s Mental Health identified five general areas of recommendations for
consideration by the governor and legislature. The five general areas of recommendations were:
1. Breaking down silos and challenging the status quo
2. Community supports
3. Workforce and access
4. Early and effective identification of mental illness
5. Person centered care and promoting well-being
While the focus of the published report was the overall mental health system in Minnesota, there were
several important distinctions with children’s mental health noted, including:
• Providing a coordinated system for children in the juvenile justice system
• Continue to provide and expand funding for school linked mental health services

Region 4 Perspective
In 2014, the nine counties of Economic Development Region 4 with financial support of Becker Clay
Otter Tail Wilkin (BCOW) Adult Mental Health Initiative, the Region 4 South Adult Mental Health
Initiative, Lakeland Mental Health Center, West Central Initiative, & PrimeWest Health commissioned a
study and Region 4 Mental Health Needs Assessment report (2014). Region 4 includes the nine counties
of west-central Minnesota, including Otter Tail County. The basic methodology of the study and
subsequent report included drawing on the expertise from regional practitioners, consumers with
mental health needs, and informal caregivers.
Included in the final report were identified strengths in the region as it relates to mental health services.
The top three strengths identified by interviewees include:
• Mental Health Case Management
• Psychological Services
• Psychiatric Services
Additionally, the report
identified a variety of areas
within the region that were
considered challenges and
limitations of the region’s
mental health system. An
identified significant concern
is the inability to provide an
appropriate placement due to
service unavailability. The fact
that these inappropriate
placements happen identify a fundamental problem with the current structure of the mental health
system in the region; lack of appropriate setting capacity.
Aside from the structural barriers of the mental health system, the stigma of a mental health diagnosis
continues to be a primary concern for consumers and caregivers. In Region 4 report, 62% of
respondents identified that the fear of being labeled is either a large barrier or somewhat of a barrier to
seeking services.
The Region 4 report provides an alarming reality that the level of communication between a consumer’s
mental health provider and schools ranks very low in relation to other team members associated with
mental health services. The 2014 report cited that “While some schools do a good job of updating
providers and county staff, others must rely on parents to relay information to psychiatrists and others.”
The report further states, “Caregivers shared that they feel schools do not have a sufficient amount of
resources to meet current needs and that school staff would benefit from mental health specific training
(2016).”
The ability for consumers to access mental health services
when they are needed plays a significant role in consumer
outcomes. In cases when a consumer is unable to access the
level of services needed to remain in the least restrictive
environment, especially when experiencing a mental health
crisis, the alternatives are often more expensive or are not
appropriate (Region 4 Mental Health Needs Assessment, 2014,
p. 8).

Otter Tail County Perspective
In 2013, the Minnesota Department of Human Services completed a Region 4 Gap Analysis Study (2013),
which required each county to provide information about a variety of topics, including existing mental
health services.
The Skills Gap Analysis identifies the top three service gaps for children and youth with mental
conditions in Otter Tail county:
1. Specific placements for children/youth with aggressive behaviors.
2. Specific placements for adolescents with sexual acting out.
3. Specific placements for children under the age of 13.
Furthermore, according to the results of that survey, there are several areas of need in Otter Tail County
as it relates to access and availability to children’s mental health services. Those areas identified in the
survey that have services available, but fall short of demand include:
• Neuropsychological Services
• Group Psychotherapy
• Availability of psychiatric prescribers
• Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health & Developmental Disorders of Infancy & Childhood
• Trauma-Informed Child-Parent Psychotherapy
• Respite Care for Children with Emotional/Behavioral Disorders
• Outreach Support Services
• Family Support and Education Support Services
• Family & Group Psychotherapy
• Individual Skills Training
• Children’s Day treatment
• Mental Health Services offered in Schools
• Respite Care (out of home, crisis, and evening/weekend)
• Behavioral Programming
• Residential Habilitation (Supported Living Services)
Areas identified in the gap analysis that indicate there is no availability in the county include:
• Partial Hospitalization Programs
• Specific Placements for Children under the Age of 13
• Specific Placements for youth with aggressive behaviors
• Specific Placements for adolescents with sexual acting out
• Specific placements for adolescents with developmental delays or Pervasive Developmental
Disorder
• Specific placements for children/youth with eating disorders
• Supported Employment – Individual Placement and Support Model
• Integrated Dual Diagnosis Treatment
• Residential crisis stabilization
• Inpatient child/youth psychiatry beds
pg. 7
• Psychiatrists available for inpatient visits
• Drop-in family support centers
• Transition-age services for youth moving into adulthood
• Early childhood mental health services
• Treatment services for complex needs and multiple diagnosis and chronicity
• Treatment services for eating disorders
• Rehabilitation services for Traumatic Brain Injuries
• Mental Health Court
• Problem gambling services
• Caregiver/Family Counseling
• Prevention/Early Intervention for Behavioral and Cognitive Health
• Independent Living Skills Therapies
Subsequent to the 2014 study, there are several notable areas of change as it relates to the current
state of children’s mental health needs specifically in Otter Tail County.
1. OTC Human Services has increased capacity to provide children’s mental health targeted case
management services for clients. Previously the county reported that there was a waiting list
for these services for children, and at the time of this report, there is no wait list and children
are being fully served in this capacity.
2. Two non-profit mental health providers are now offering Parent-Child Interaction Therapy as an
option for their clients. Previously this had been reported as an area there was no availability
within the county.
3. The Minnesota Department of Human Services has increased its efforts as it moves forward with
an emphasis on System of Care. A system of care is a wide set of community-based services for
children and youth (with families) at risk for mental illnesses or other challenges. The purpose is
to provide a coordinated network of partnerships to address the needs of clients to help them
function better at home, in school, in the community and throughout life.
4. DHS is also focusing efforts on developing regional Psychiatric Regional Treatment Facilities
(PRTF) across the state, with consideration of a facility in Fergus Falls. A PRTF is a stand-alone,
community-based facility that provides inpatient services to individuals under the age of 21
based on medical necessity.
5. There still remains a significant need for chemical dependency outpatient services within Otter
Tail County. Currently there are no in-county options for children to receive these services.
6. Mental health providers and school counselors from across the county report a significant
increase in self-harming behaviors in children of a wide age span.
7. Additionally, the number of Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosis has increased significantly
across the county, requiring an additional set of resources and therapies that are minimally
available within the county.
8. Finally, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find appropriate foster families for children in
Otter Tail County, whether they are for emergency, short-term placements or for longer
placements.
pg. 8
Recommendations
In taking consideration the state, regional, and county level information as well as the know capacity
and level of influence of the Otter Tail County Children’s Mental Health Local Advisory Council makes
the following recommendations:
Continued partnership and support of the Otter Tail Family Service Collaborative
For several years, the collaborative has been responsible for the administration and implementation of
the CMHLAC. As the collaborative undergoes consideration of the restructure of the workgroups,
recommend and support a consideration of CMHLAC workgroup integration with the current School-
Based Mental Health workgroup to provide less duplication of planning and will better allow for
alignment of school district, county agency and provider efforts.
Formally introduce and facilitate relationships between county agencies, children’s
mental health providers and schools in Otter Tail County
There are some very obvious, well-established relationships between the entities involved in children’s
mental health and schools, often they are either limited to the administrative level or with single
providers. As a result, most school staff do not have an understanding of the current state of children’s
mental health treatment, nor are they able to adequately refer if necessary. Establishing a ground-level
approach to the relationship should begin to not only better understand our system, but also potentially
assist in stigma-reduction as the adults in our schools have a clearer view of mental health.
Provide CMHLAC-sponsored mini-grants to Otter Tail County School Districts
By creating a small mini-grant system, the LAC is provided an opportunity to support, under its
jurisdiction, further reach into schools without having to increase the capacity of the LAC membership.
By providing topic-specific grants, school districts will be able to engage at the point at which they have
identified they need the most support. Additionally, having the mini-grant application require
collaboration between the school & SBMH provider, it will ultimately provide even stronger support and
integration of those services.

Reporting Period: April 2017- August 2018
(Otter Tail County Adult Mental Health LAC met from 11:30am-1pm the 4th Wednesday of every month
except July and December)
Speakers on a wide variety of topics offered educational presentations at LAC meeting:
Jim Stewart, Jail Administration, Mental Health in the Jail

Naomi Schliesman and Amanda Cross, Springboard for the Arts event “Mindful: Exploring
Mental Health Through Art
Dawn Bacon – Moorhead Public Housing Authority on housing issues and resources for the
BCOW area which includes Otter Tail County.
Adam Martin – F5 Project – housing and vocation with people who have felonies
Reviewed Subjects that the Otter Tail County Adult Mental Health LAC note as issues and
actions from OTC LAC:
1. Mental Health Public Education – May Day Baskets were dispersed to the public in
multiple places in Otter Tail County during May Mental Health Awareness Month. These
baskets held mental health information from local providers including crisis services.
The baskets were placed in businesses in Otter Tail County. Due to the success of the
May Day Baskets we have added Pumpkin Baskets in recognition of Mental Illness
Awareness Week which is the 1st full week in October. Our LAC also purchased 10
luminaries for the Shatter the Silence event to represent 2017 Adult suicides in Otter
Tail County.
2. Housing – Productive Alternatives worked with DHS to address the Housing Supports
funding for Productive Alternatives CSU to not interfere with a person’s housing.
Productive Alternatives Perham 180 is now open to address housing and vocation. We
still note the lack of housing options in Otter Tail County.
3. Jail – We met and discussed with Jail Administrator, Jim Stewart about issues that Otter
Tail County Jail is experiencing and how our LAC can assist in supporting legislative
changes.
4. LAC family and consumer membership increase – Our LAC advertised and gathered
letters of interest for family and consumer members for input at our LAC. Our budget at
this time only supports 5 stipends per meeting with no funds left over for our
community educational goals. We have submitted a request to the Otter Tail County
Commissioners for an increase in funds for 2019 to address this issue.
Recommendations to the Otter Tail County Commissioners
The Otter Tail County Adult Mental Health Local Advisory Committee recommends the
following:
1. Medication/Therapeutic Coordination in our Jail: We recommend that there is
medication and therapeutic coordination with the community providers such as mental
health centers and primary care.
2. Early Intervention: We support the subcommittee on early intervention which includes:
a. Non-disruption of Medical Assistance while incarcerated and/or assistance with
getting insurance by use of community supports such as Mahube otwa and/or
county social workers.
b. Discharge planning for inmates to include community resources to reduce
recidivism.
3. Housing: We support efforts in planning for transitional housing in Otter Tail County to
assist the homelessness issue in our county.
4. Mental Health Emergency Department: We support efforts in investigating need for a
dedicated mental health emergency department in our county emergency rooms which
is dedicated to the safety, staff training, medication protocol and resources to best
serve this population.
5. Psychiatry: We recommend active recruitment and retainment of psychiatric providers
for our whole county.
Local Mental Health Advisory Councils (LAC)
Why LACs
The goal of Local Mental Health Advisory Councils (LACs) is to tap into the knowledge of diverse groups of community
members in order to improve mental health services for all Minnesotans.
LACs offer individuals, parents, families and mental health service providers the opportunity to make a real difference in
how mental health care is provided in their community, and it offers county and state policy makers the wisdom of
people’s experiences first-hand.
Established by counties
All counties, alone or in partnership with other counties, should have LACs. Counties, county boards and community
leaders use LACs to advise them on a range of mental health topics, such as improving their local mental health and
social services systems.
There are many benefits to having an LAC in your county:
LACs empower individuals with a lived mental illness experience, their parents and families
Having an active, productive and effective LAC can lead to the improvement of the local mental health system and
services for the community
LACs offer advice to the local mental health system on what is and is not working.
Meetings must be held at least quarterly, but are commonly held monthly.

Subject: OTC AIS Task Force Membership
Good Morning,
As some of you know already, I am an AIS Detector and a local SCUBA diver. I have no affiliations, and all my work has
been purely Volunteer work. I ran a booth at Aqua Chautauqua this year aimed to inform and educate the public on AIS
detection, and how to report the findings. I am also a Starry Trek Coordinator this year in Todd County, But hopefully next
year I can coordinate in Ottertail County.
This week, I had a chance to sit in on a Task Force meeting and I am very interested in becoming a member of the Task
Force. When an spot opens up, I would very much appreciate being considered for a seat in the Task Force.
Thank you for your invitation this week and your time,

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Recommendations Report
November 2018
OTTER TAIL COUNTY - MINNESOTA
1
OTTER TAIL COUNTY – MINNESOTA
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
BACKGROUND The County Board requested a recommendation for the expansion of economic development
programs aimed at the housing and childcare shortage. County staff completed additional research including a review of the County Boards statutory authority and an analysis of other jurisdictions organizational approaches, roles and responsibilities, and scope of programming. One of the opportunities presented to the County Board was the establishment of a county economic development authority. Per Minnesota Statute 469.1082, a county may form a county economic development authority or grant a housing and redevelopment authority the powers specified in subdivision 4, clause (2), if it receives a recommendation to do so from a committee formed under subdivision 2. After notice to all local government units and development agencies within the county, the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners adopted a resolution to create a committee to recommend options for a county economic development service provider. A committee was created utilizing MN Statute 469.1082 which requires no fewer than 11 and no more than 15 members to be appointed by the
county board. Per Minnesota statute, committee representation must include at least one city official, at least one housing and redevelopment official, and at least one township official. Additional members may include school districts, political subdivisions, nonprofit or for-profit housing and economic development organizations, business and labor organizations. The County may appoint no more than two county commissioners.

That the county pursues special legislation. 4. No change to the existing structure.

THE CURRENT LEVEL OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
Within Otter Tail County, there are several types of existing organizational structures designed to promote economic development. Most of these organizations or entities are municipality specific. That is, the programs and services that are offered are reserved for the municipality for which the organization has been formed. The type of organization that a community has adopted is largely dependent on the special activities that they have targeted. The organizational structures and targeted activities are as diverse as Otter Tail County’s 22 communities. For example, for some communities, business development and job creation are the primary goals, while others have focused exclusively on housing development as a priority. Outlined below is a brief description of the types of economic development organizations that currently exist in Otter Tail County.
Business Organization
Often referred to as Community Clubs or Chamber of Commerce, these entities are usually an
incorporated 501 (c)(4) or (6) organization whose primary purpose is to promote community and
retail events. These organizations consist or local business professionals of the community who meet together to promote local businesses and the community. A handful of the local chambers also deal with tourism promotion and overall business development of the community. Examples include: Dent Community Club Fergus Falls Chamber New York Mills Community Club Ottertail Community Club
Pelican Rapids Chamber Perham Chamber Vergas Community Club Wadena Chamber Economic Development Corporation Created as either for-profit and non-profit entities, these corporations are predominantly utilized to sell industrial land or provide financing for businesses development in the community. Examples include:
Fergus Falls EIC Greater Fergus Falls Cop Pelican Rapids EDC
Housing and Redevelopment Authority A public corporation with power to undertake certain types of housing and development or renewal activities. The primary function of the local HRAs is to assist low income, very low income and extremely low-income families with safe, decent, and affordable housing opportunities as they strive to achieve self-sufficiency and improve the quality of their lives. Existing HRAs in Otter Tail County include: Fergus Falls HRA Henning HRA Perham HRA Otter Tail County HRA
Port Authority This is a legal entity created by the State Legislature to promote the general welfare of a city. The Port Authority actively develops commerce within the City and can enable business location and expansion. The powers of a Port Authority are more expansive then those of an HRA and EDA. A Port Authority is a separate political entity with the right to sue and be sued in its own name and generally organized to increase commerce in a city. Unlike EDAs and HRAs, a Port Authority may issue general obligation bonds without holding an election. Examples include: Fergus Falls Port Authority
4
Economic Development Authority An EDA is a legal entity created by the city or county to facilitate a well-rounded development program by taking advantage of some of the port authority powers and all of the HRA powers. EDAs are desirable because they allow for the creation of flexible business assistance and development
programs. For example, EDAs are allowed to buy and sell property, make loans and grants to businesses, provide guarantees or other credit, and sell bonds. Examples include:
Battle Lake EDA Henning EDA New York Mills EDA Ottertail EDA
Pelican Rapids EDA Perham EDA Underwood EDA
Destination Marketing Organizations A destination organization, often referred to as a destination marketing or management organization, convention and visitor’s bureau or tourism board, is responsible for promoting a community as an attractive destination and enhancing its public image as a dynamic place to live and work. Through the impact of travel, they strengthen the economic position and provide opportunity for people in
their community. Examples include: Fergus Falls CVB Ottertail Visitor’s Bureau Otter Tail Lakes Country Association
Regional Organizations There are several regional organizations or entities that also provide economic development assistance in Otter Tail County. For example, West Central Initiative Foundation serves a 9-county area in west central Minnesota and offers diverse business, community and workforce development support. Another regional entity is the West Central Small Business Development Center. The SBDC offers customized services ranging from business plan development to bookkeeping. Their services are delivered by a team of professional business consultants with a diverse and comprehensive array of knowledge and expertise.
Existing Gaps in Programs and Services
Three broad gaps in programs and services were identified by the committee. 1. Insufficient services, programs and resources dedicated to:
• increasing the availability of housing
• attracting residents/workers
• increasing the availability of child care During Meeting 1, the committee and other attendees held a discussion on the current economic development priorities in Otter Tail County. Facilitator Jeremy Kovash provided a handout that reflected a list of economic development topics and activities, along with several existing agencies that currently provide economic development activities in Otter Tail County. Qualitatively, the committee expressed agreement that housing, workforce and childcare were the top economic development priorities for Otter Tail County.
5
After Meeting 1, a survey tool was also utilized to capture quantitative feedback from the committee regarding their perception of the top 5 economic/community development needs for Otter Tail County. Committee member responses are below:
Another source of data utilized to analyze economic development priorities in Otter Tail County included recent focus group data from county-wide strategic planning efforts. While not coordinated or facilitated for the purposes of the economic development recommendation committee, the strategic planning data collection overlapped and included feedback from 50-60 Otter Tail County residents on a wide variety of topics, including economic development. Below are the existing economic strengths and weaknesses as perceived by diverse Otter Tail County residents who participated in these focus groups.
6
2. Insufficient geographic availability of economic development programs and services. Most economic development programs and services are designed to serve specific municipalities. Smaller communities and rural areas have very limited access to economic development programing. From a demographic perspective, approximately 55% of Otter Tail County’s population reside outside of the 22 Otter Tail County communities. In addition to residents, these rural areas are also home to many small businesses. For example, two of Otter Tail County’s largest industries (i.e. agriculture and tourism) are overwhelming rural. Yet, those
business sectors have limited to no access to the economic development tools currently afforded in larger Otter Tail County communities.
7
3. Insufficient access to technical assistance and planning for community/economic development. Many Otter Tail County cities have recently adopted economic development powers. The types of programs and initiatives are driven by their unique community needs. The administration of
those programs also varies by community. A handful of larger communities have dedicated economic development staff. Some communities have contracted a part-time economic development professional or organization to manage their programs and service. Several other communities have delegated economic development administration to existing city staff. Regardless of community size or program offerings, the need for high quality technical assistance is evident.
Capacity and Ability of Existing Agencies to Expand Their Services
While many economic development entities exist in Otter Tail County, few have a county-wide or regional perspective. The vast majority are focused exclusively on city-level economic, housing and community development activities. Few have the capacity and/or ability to address the regional needs identified and prioritized by the committee. The Otter Tail County Housing and Redevelopment Authority has a history of providing housing opportunities low, very-low and extremely low-income families. Access to income-restricted housing remains important and should continue to be provided by the OTC HRA per their mission. The committee identified many housing and community development needs that fall outside of the mission, prevue and capacity of the existing economic development agencies.
RECOMMENDED ORGANIZATIONAL OPTION FOR PROVIDING NEEDED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES IN THE MOST EFFICIENT, EFFECTIVE MANNER The Economic Development Committee explored various organizational options for providing needed economic development, housing and community development services in Otter Tail County. The committee reviewed the diverse economic development models that exist in rural Minnesota (Appendix A) and compared the different statutory powers belonging to HRAs and EDAs (Appendix B). In addition, the committee held a conference call with Barbara Dacy from the Washington County Community Development Agency. The committee had an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the Washing County model, their process for establishing the CDA, strengths and weaknesses of the model, types of programming offered, examples of specific impacts, funding mechanisms, and
their relationship to existing city EDAs and HRAs. All organizational structures reviewed by the committee stressed the importance of tailored approaches by supporting economic development at the city level through cooperation with municipalities and municipal EDAs, at the regional level through Initiative Foundations or similar entities, and at the state level through the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED). Providing complimentary (not duplicative) services and technical support was critical to the success of county-wide programs.
8
Recommended Organizational Structure
After identifying the current level of service and programs being offered, as well as identifying the unmet needs of Otter Tail County, the committee unanimously recommends Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners establish county economic development authority to operate under sections 469.090 to 469.1081 (Option 1 of Subd. 4 from MN Statute 469).
Funding Mechanism
Given the importance of housing and the need to establish a funding mechanism to support the community development priorities identified in this report, the committee further recommends that the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners transfer the powers granted under 469.001 to
469.047 for non-income restricted housing programming to the newly established economic development authority. By doing so, the power to levy special taxes under Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.033, Subdivision 6, may be exercised by the EDA for the purposes of the HRA Powers transferred to it. Furthermore, the committee recommends that the County Board approve the 2019 Special Benefit (HRA) Levy as proposed in the preliminary levy.
Area of Operation
The area of operation for all programming implemented under 469.001 to 469.047 (i.e. HRA Powers) shall include all Otter Tail County.
The area of operation for programming implemented under sections 469.090 to 469.1081 (i.e. EDA Powers) but not statutorily authorized under 469.001 to 469.047 (i.e. HRA Powers) shall include all cities and townships within Otter Tail County that have adopted resolutions electing to participate. The committee recommends setting the distance from the boundary of the city that may be controlled by each affected city at zero.
Board Characteristics
The committee further recommends that the County Board appoint a 9-person EDA Board of Commissioners. While at least two commissioners must be appointed by the County Board per Statute 469.1082, Subd. 8, the EDA Board should also include diverse representation by the private-sector. When selecting EDA Board Members, diversity in geographic region should be a consideration, but not a limiting factor. It is the belief of the committee that finding committee members that are available, engaged, and provide diverse experience and perspectives is paramount. It is recommended that the first board members be selected from the Economic Development Committee.
