Government Services Center in Fergus Falls, MN, with Commissioners Wayne Johnson, Chair;
Doug Huebsch, John Lindquist, Betty Murphy and Lee Rogness present.
Approval of Agenda
Chairman Johnson called for approval of the Board Agenda. Motion by Rogness, second by Lindquist and
unanimously carried to approve the Board of Commissioners Agenda of November 27, 2018, with the
following addition.
Under Public Works Committee - Broadband in Rural MN Discussion
Consent Agenda
Motion by Lindquist, second by Rogness and unanimously carried to approve Consent Agenda items as
follows:

2. Warrants/Bills for November 27, 2018 (Exhibit A)
3. Human Services & Public Health Bills & Claims (Exhibit A)
4. 2019 Human Services Contract Renewals
5. Approve Issuance of County Credit Card to Kristi Wentworth, Family Services
Supervisor
6. Human Services Purchase of Services Agreements Annual Renewals
Probation Department Update
Probation Director Desta Lutzwick submitted several handouts regarding out-of-home placement statistics
including daily cost at various providers and the increased placement days purchased from 1,003.75 days
in CY2017 to 1,906 days from January 2018 through October 2018. Lengthy discussion took place regarding
difficult cases with increased mental health and behavioral issues, programs offered, and the need to hold
juveniles when picked up until after their court appearance. The ability to hold juveniles would keep out-of-
home placement transportation costs down. Ms. Lutzwick indicated that the County uses the Moorhead
Detention facility when possible and requested approval of the West Central Regional Juvenile Center
(WCRJC) Annual Purchase Agreement.
Motion by Huebsch, second by Rogness and unanimously carried to authorize the 2019 Annual Purchase
Agreement between the County of Otter Tail and the Clay County WCRJC for out-of-home placement costs
in the amount of $554,001, as presented.

day limit of $2,500) to Erin Brimhall, Detention Facility Administrative Assistant, as requested.

Payment Approval
Motion by Lindquist, second by Rogness and unanimously carried to approve payment to Tri-County
Healthcare, in the amount of $1,944.19, for services provided under the provisions of Minnesota Statute
609.35 for Case File No. 18034257.

Motion by Huebsch, second by Lindquist and unanimously carried to authorize the appropriate County
Officials’ signatures to execute an Agreement between the University of MN and Otter Tail County for
providing Extension programs locally and Employment of Extension Staff for the period of January 1, 2019
through December 31, 2021. The agreement provides funding for Otter Tail County’s 4-H and Master
Gardener programs.
Discussion Regarding Possible Animal Control and Nuisance Ordinance
Greg Seim, Lieutenant; Jessica Metzger, Public Health Nurse; and Michelle Eldien, County Attorney; spoke
with the Board regarding the challenges of developing an Animal Control and Nuisance Ordinance. They
reported that Exotic Animals are currently regulated under state and federal statutes. Creating an ordinance
for feral cats and nuisances could affect a large group of people with unattended consequences. The County
Attorney indicated that, in most cases, there is already a law or rule that regulates these situations.
Property Tax Assessment Abatement Policy
Doug Walvatne, County Assessor, explained that some mistakes, specifically when structures are placed on
a parcel incorrectly, cannot be corrected by clerical means as has been past practice. This was discovered
during an audit performed by the Minnesota Department of Revenue (DOR). Motion by Rogness, second
by Huebsch and unanimously carried to amend the current Property Tax Assessment Abatement Policy as
recommended by the County Assessor. The revised Abatement Policy will be posted on the Otter Tail
County website under “Ordinances & Policies”.
Adult & Children’s Mental Health Local Advisory Councils (LAC)
Troy Haugen, Chair of the OTC Children’s Mental Health LAC, submitted a “2018 Report on the State of
Children’s Mental Health Services” in the County. He cited M.S. 245.466, Subd. 5 which requires the County
to establish local advisory councils that reflect a broad range of community interests. He referred to
recommendations on Page 8 of the report.
Beth Nelson and Fonda Knudson, Co-chairs of the Adult Mental Health LAC, submitted several documents
and referred to recommendations. Discussion followed regarding the challenges people face with
inadequate insurance to obtain medication and lack of adequate housing and psychiatry services.
Commissioners requested that these items be discussed further in three months along with the probation
update discussion as some of these issues tie together.
Human Services Grant Agreements
Motion by Lindquist, second by Rogness and unanimously carried to authorize the appropriate County
Officials’ signatures to execute the Adult Mental Health Initiative (AMHI) grant agreement including Becker,
Clay, Otter Tail and Wadena (BCOW) counties, as submitted.
Motion by Lindquist, second by Rogness and unanimously carried to authorize the appropriate County
Officials’ signatures to execute the Otter Tail County Community Support Program grant agreement as
submitted

ARTICLE VII (7). GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
7.1 Definition of a Grievance. A grievance is defined as a dispute or disagreement as to the
interpretation or application of the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement. A probationary
employee is not entitled to utilize the grievance procedure.
7.2 Union Representatives. The Employer will recognize representatives designated by the Union, as
the grievance representative of the bargaining unit, having the duties and responsibilities
established by this Article. The Union shall notify the Employer, in writing, of the names of their
successors, when so designated.
7.3 Processing of a Grievance. It is recognized and accepted by the Union and the Employer that the
processing of grievances, as hereinafter provided, is limited by the job duties and responsibilities
of the employees and, therefore, shall be accomplished during normal working hours only when
consistent with such employee duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee and the Union
representative shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss in pay when a grievance
is investigated and presented to the Employer during normal working hours provided the employee
and the Union representative have notified and received the approval of the designated supervisor
who has determined that such absence is reasonable and would not be detrimental to the work
programs of the Employer.
7.4 Procedure. Grievances, as defined by Section 7.1, shall be resolved in conformance with the
following procedure.
STEP 1. A non-probationary employee, claiming a violation concerning the interpretation or
application of this Agreement, shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days after such alleged violation
has occurred, present such grievance to the employee's supervisor, as designated by the
Employer. The Employer-designated representative will discuss and give an answer to such
Step 1 grievance within ten (10) calendar days after receipt. A grievance not resolved in Step 1
and appealed to Step 2 shall be placed in writing, setting forth the nature of the grievance, the
facts on which it is based, the provision or provisions of the Agreement allegedly violated and the
remedy requested and shall be appealed to Step 2 within ten (10) calendar days after the
Employer-designated representative's final answer in Step 1. Any grievance not appealed in
writing to Step 2 by the Union, within ten (10) calendar days, shall be considered waived.
STEP 2. If appealed, the written grievance shall be presented by the Union and discussed with
the Employer-designated Step 2 representative. The Employer-designated representative shall
give the Union the Employer's Step 2 answer, in writing, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt
of such Step 2 grievance. A grievance not resolved in Step 2 may be appealed to Step 3 within
ten (10) calendar days following the Employer-designated representative's final answer in Step 2.
Any grievance not appealed in writing to Step 3 by the Union, within ten (10) calendar days, shall
be considered waived.
Facilities Maintenance – CBA 2016-20182019-2021
5
STEP 3. If appealed, the written grievance shall be presented by the Union and discussed with
the Employer-designated Step 3 representative. The Employer-designated representative shall
give the Union the Employer's answer, in writing, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of such
Step 3 grievance. A grievance not resolved in Step 3 may be appealed to Step 4 within ten (10)
calendar days following the Employer-designated representative's final answer in Step 3. Any
grievance not appealed in writing to Step 4 by the Union within ten (10) calendar days shall be
considered waived.
STEP 4. A grievance unresolved in Step 3 and appealed to Step 4 shall be submitted to arbitration,
subject to the provisions of the Public Employment Relations Act of 1971, as amended. The
selection of an arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the "Rules Governing the Arbitration of
Grievances" as established by the Bureau of Mediation Services (BMS). By mutual agreement,
both parties can request involvement of a BMS mediator to hear and resolve the grievance. If
either side does not agree to the mediation process, either party may request arbitration within ten
(10) days after either party's written notification to the other of their intent not to participate in the
mediation process by serving a written notice on the other party of their intention to proceed with
arbitration.
7.5 Arbitrator's Authority.
A. The arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add to or subtract from, the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall consider and decide on the
specific issue(s) submitted in writing by the Employer and the Union and shall have no
authority to make a decision on any other issue, not so submitted.
B. The arbitrator shall be without power to make decisions contrary to, or inconsistent with, or
modifying or varying in any way, the application of laws, rules, or regulations having the force
and effect of law. The arbitrator's decision shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days
following close of the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever be later,
unless the parties agree to an extension. The decision shall be binding on both the Employer
and the Union and shall be based solely on the arbitrator's interpretation or application of the
express terms of this Agreement and to the facts of the grievance presented.
C. The fees and expenses for the arbitrator's services and the proceedings shall be borne equally
by the Employer and the Union, provided that each party shall be responsible for
compensating its own representatives and witnesses. If either party desires a verbatim record
of the proceedings, it may cause such a record to be made, providing it pays for the record.
If both parties desire a verbatim record of the proceedings, the cost shall be shared equally.
7.6 Waiver. If a grievance is not presented within the time limits set forth above, it shall be considered
waived. If a grievance is not appealed to the next Step within the specified time limit or any agreed
extension thereof, it shall be considered settled on the basis of the Employer's last answer. If the
Employer does not answer a grievance, or an appeal thereof, within the specified time limit, the
Union shall elect to treat the grievance as defined at that Step and may immediately appeal the
grievance to the next Step. The time limit in each Step may be extended by mutual agreement of
the Employer and the Union.
7.7 No employee shall be disciplined for filing a grievance or for his/her testimony at a grievance
hearing.
Facilities Maintenance – CBA 2016-20182019-2021
6
7.8 Choice of Remedy: If, as a result of the written Employer response in Step 3, the grievance
remains unresolved, and if the grievance involves the suspension, demotion, or discharge of an
employee who has completed the required probationary period, the grievance may be appealed
to either Step 4 of Article VII or a procedure such as Civil Service, Veterans Preference, etc. If
appealed to any procedure other than in Step 4 of Article VII, the grievance is not subject to the
arbitration procedure as provided in Step 4 of Article VII. The aggrieved employee shall indicate
in writing which procedure is to be utilized - Step 4 of Article VII or another appeal procedure - and
shall sign a statement to the effect that the choice of any other hearing precludes the aggrieved
employee from making a subsequent appeal through Step 4 of Article VII.
ARTICLE VIII (8). SAVINGS CLAUSE
This Agreement is subject to the laws of the United States, the State of Minnesota and the County of
Otter Tail. In the event any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be contrary to law by a court of
competent jurisdiction from whose final judgment or decree no appeal has been taken within the time

from, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall consider and decide
on the specific issue(s) submitted in writing by the Employer and the Union and shall have
no authority to make a decision on any other issue, not so submitted.
B. The arbitrator shall be without power to make decisions contrary to, or inconsistent with,
or modifying or varying in any way, the application of laws, rules, or regulations having

call" time shall not receive the five dollars ($5.00)five dollars and twenty-five cents ($5.25) per
hour "on-call" compensation during the time the employee is being compensated for being on
duty. This provision will also apply to an employee who is called to duty outside of the regularly

and confer with the Union.

representative shall give the Union the Employer's Step 2 answer, in writing, within ten
(10) calendar days after receipt of such Step 2 grievance. A grievance not resolved in

to Step 3 by the Union, within ten (10) calendar days, shall be considered waived.
STEP 3. If appealed, the written grievance shall be presented by the Union and discussed
with the Employer-designated Step 3 representative. The Employer-designated
representative shall give the Union the Employer's answer, in writing, within ten (10)
calendar days after receipt of such Step 3 grievance. A grievance not resolved in Step 3

Governing the Arbitration of Grievances," as established by the Bureau of Mediation
Services (BMS). By mutual agreement, both parties can request involvement of a BMS
mediator to hear and resolve the grievance. If either side does not agree to the mediation
process, either party may request arbitration within ten (10) days after either party's
written notification to the other of their intent not to participate in the mediation process
by serving a written notice on the other party of their intention to proceed with arbitration.
7.5 ARBITRATOR'S AUTHORITY
A. The arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add to, or subtract
from the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall consider and
decide on only the specific issue(s) submitted in writing by the Employer and the Union
and shall have no authority to make a decision on any other issue, not so submitted.
B. The arbitrator may not ignore the language of the Agreement to pursue the rule of the
shop or other considerations beyond the scope of the written Agreement, unless
consideration of the rule of the shop or other considerations are necessary to an
understanding of the issue or contract language or unless necessary to an
understanding of the way the Agreement has been implemented. The arbitrator shall
be without power to make decisions contrary to, or inconsistent with, or modifying or
varying in any way, the applications of laws, rules or regulations having the force and
7
HS Support Specialists and PH Staff – CBA 2016-20182019-2021
effect of law. The arbitrator's decision shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30)
days following close of the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties,
whichever be later, unless the parties agree to an extension. The decision shall be
binding on both the Employer and the Union and shall be based solely on the
arbitrator's interpretation or application of the express terms of this Agreement and to
the facts of the grievance presented.
C. The fees and expenses for the arbitrator's services and the proceedings shall be borne
equally by the Employer and the Union, provided that each party shall be responsible
for compensating its own representatives and witnesses. If either party desires a
verbatim record of the proceedings, it may cause such a record to be made, providing
it pays for the record. If both parties desire a verbatim record of the proceedings, the
cost shall be shared equally.
7.6 WAIVER: If a grievance is not presented within the time limit set forth above, it shall be
considered waived.
If a grievance is not appealed to the next Step within the specified time limit, or any agreed
extension thereof, it shall be considered settled on the basis of the Employer's last
answer. If the Employer does not answer a grievance, or an appeal thereof, within the
specified time limit, the Union may elect to treat the grievance as denied at that Step and
may immediately appeal the grievance to the next Step. The time limit in each Step may
be extended by the mutual agreement of the Employer and the Union.
7.7 Choice of Remedy: If, as a result of the written Employer response in Step 3, the
grievance remains unresolved, and if the grievance involves the suspension, demotion,
or discharge of an employee who has completed the required probationary period, the
grievance may be appealed to either Step 4 of Article VII or a procedure such as Civil
Service, Veterans Preference, etc. If appealed to any procedure other than in Step 4 of
Article VII, the grievance is not subject to the arbitration procedure as provided in Step 4
of Article VII. The aggrieved employee shall indicate in writing which procedure is to be
utilized - Step 4 of Article VII or another appeal procedure - and shall sign a statement to
the effect that the choice of any other hearing precludes the aggrieved employee from
making a subsequent appeal through Step 4 of Article VII.
