MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Otter Tail County Probation focuses on three main areas:
1. Protection of the public;
2. Promoting offender change;
3. Accountability of offender(s) to victim(s).
Otter Tail County Probation is responsible for the identification and use of a variety of
correctional services for both juvenile and adult offenders while on probation or
supervised release status.
Otter Tail County probation officers provide direct probation supervision to juvenile and
adult offenders assigned to them by the Otter Tail County District Court. Probation
officers apply research-supported practices through evidence-based principles. Probation
officers monitor and evaluate the offender’s adjustment in the community to determine
potential needs of the offender and risk to the public. Collaboration with justice partners
and facilitating open communication with staff, offenders and stakeholders build on our
common interest of reducing recidivism.
Probation officers work with offenders to identify ways that the offender can develop
competency through education, counseling, employment, and other resources available in
the community. It is our intention to assist offenders in developing skills that will allow
them to live within community standards and be personally successful.
While conducting Court-ordered investigations, it is the probation officers’ statutory duty
to contact victims of adult and juvenile offenses. Probation officers provide victims with
information which will allow the victim(s) to have meaningful input into the sentencing
of the offender(s), as well as establishing fair restitution in an attempt to repair or replace
damages as suffered either to their person or property. Restoration to the victims and
empowering the victim’s voice within the judicial system are key factors in holding the
offender accountable.
It is our goal that by focusing on the identified areas in our mission statement that we will
contribute to a safer community that we live in.

JUVENILE SERVICES:
Otter Tail County Probation Officers are responsible for supervising all juvenile
probation cases assigned by the Otter Tail County District Court and Minnesota
Department of Corrections. Specific caseload responsibilities include: investigation and
preparation of pre-disposition investigations; monitoring offender compliance with Court-
ordered conditions; casework documentation; completion of all necessary adjustment and
discharge reports; completing restitution investigations and coordinating restitution
payments through the District Court Administrator’s Office; supervision of all Court
assigned community service work. Probation Officers are also responsible for the
promotion of public relations and community awareness of the juvenile justice system
and to work as a liaison to other boards, associations, or agencies.
Community Services Work Program:
Otter Tail County Probation has community service work sites for juvenile offenders
throughout Otter Tail County. These work sites have been recruited and are continually
monitored by a Community Service Specialist. Community service work sites for
juveniles offer a varied degree of work experiences that allow the juveniles to provide a
service to their community. During 2016, 188 juveniles were assigned 3,510 community
service hours under the supervision of Otter Tail County Probation.
Electronic Surveillance Program:
Otter Tail County Probation utilizes electronic surveillance equipment for juveniles as an
alternative to detention. Probation Officers make recommendations to the District Court
regarding the appropriateness of releasing a juvenile on electronic monitoring to his/her
parent or guardian’s custody pending further hearing or disposition.
When ordered by the Court, Otter Tail County Probation facilitates the hookup and
operation of the monitoring device. Juveniles and their families are responsible for the
per diem fee assessed for cost of the program.
Restitution Programs:
Otter Tail County Probation has generally been responsible for coordinating restitution
investigations with the Otter Tail County Attorney’s Office Victim/Witness Coordinator.
Probation Officers assist in identifying the victims of juvenile offenses and conducting
restitution investigations, which ultimately result in recommendations to the District
Court regarding juvenile restitution issues. Probation Officers monitor and enforce
restitution payments as ordered by the District Court in all juvenile matters involving
supervised probation.
Otter Tail County Probation Program Description
Page 4 of 11 Otter Tail County Probation will operate a Juvenile Restitution Work Program in 2017.
Otter Tail County has set aside $2,500.00 in juvenile restitution funds for juveniles who
have been ordered by the Otter Tail County District Court to pay financial restitution to
victims of offenses for losses they have suffered to their person and/or property.
Juveniles are assessed for restitution program eligibility and all money earned for work
performance is paid to their respective victim(s).
CAP (Chemical Awareness Program)
Otter Tail County offers a Chemical Awareness Program through MBP Awareness. This
program is presented by a licensed addiction and dependency counselor. The CAP class
offers information to first or second time juvenile offenders who have possessed or
consumed a chemical substance in violation of law. Information covers alcohol, tobacco
and other chemical use. Offenders discuss the legal, social, financial, family and mental
health impact of chemical use and addiction. Program cost to offender: $75.00.
Theft Clinic
The Theft Clinic is a behavioral based program for juveniles who have been involved
with, accused of, or convicted of a theft offense. This program is an instructor lead
course offered in a classroom-like setting with assessments completed in verbal and
written form.
The program’s purpose/goal for each individual:
To take ownership for ones actions/behavior as it relates to their offense;
To understand the cause, effect, and consequences of committing a theft offense;
Identify how their actions affect the people they stole from;
Learn that theft is an at-risk behavior that would continue to develop into an
increased level of risk-taking behaviors that may have an increased level of
consequences;
Identify how theft offenses may affect their future as well as their family.

ADULT SERVICES:
The Otter Tail County Probation Officers adult caseload responsibilities include:
supervision of all Court assigned adult Misdemeanor and Gross Misdemeanor offenders,
which includes preparation of domestic abuse investigations, pre-sentence investigations,
direct supervision of probation cases, individual counseling and casework documentation,
including completion of all required reports.
Pre-Trial Bail Evaluations:
Otter Tail County Probation completes Pre-Trial Bail Evaluations on in-custody
defendants who have been charged with an offense that is considered a misdemeanor or
gross misdemeanor level “crime of violence” in Minnesota.
The Pre-Trial Bail Evaluation is completed prior to the defendant’s initial appearance in
Court. The evaluation contains information about the defendant that is helpful to the
District Court Judge in determining the defendant’s risk to him/herself or the community.
Bond Studies:
Otter Tail County Probation Officers are directed by the District Court to conduct Bond
Studies on Gross Misdemeanor and Misdemeanor offenders. Officers are responsible for
completing those investigations in a timely fashion, and reporting their findings directly
to the Court. The purpose of the Bond Study is to provide the District Court with
information necessary to set effective conditions of release.
Electronic Surveillance Program:
Otter Tail County Probation Officers administer an electronic surveillance program to be
used by the District Court as an alternative to sentencing offenders to jail. Probation
Officers receive referrals from the District Court, then meet with the offender to verify
the offender’s willingness and appropriateness for electronic monitoring. Offenders who
participate in the electronic monitoring program must pay a per diem fee prior to the
starting date of the monitoring program. The Probation Officer supervises the client’s
progress during the electronic monitoring program and completes the termination process
upon the offender’s completion of his/her conditions of release or sentence.
Community Work Services Program:
A Community Service Specialist coordinates a community service program for adult
offenders. The Community Service Specialist develops local community service work
sites and is responsible for monitoring the progress of adult offender referrals and
verifying completion of assigned community service work. During 2016, 43 adults were
assigned 3,097 hours of Community Service under the supervision of Otter Tail County
Probation.
Otter Tail County Probation Program Description
Page 6 of 11
Diversion Program:
Otter Tail County Probation operates a Misdemeanor Diversion Program for adult
offenders. The Misdemeanor Diversion Program is directed at first time non-violent
Misdemeanant offenders. Upon Court referral, the Probation Officer conducts a
background check of the Defendant and, provided there are no prior criminal convictions
or pending offenses, the offender will sign a Misdemeanor Diversion Contract. The
Misdemeanor Diversion Contract will run for a 90-day period and will contain general
and specific terms. The offender is expected to pay $100.00 Court costs, plus Law
Library Fee, as well as comply with all of the conditions of the Diversion Contract during
the 90-day period. If the offender completes the contract, the Court will dismiss the
Misdemeanor offense for which he was referred to the Diversion Program and no formal
conviction will be entered into the Court record.
Remote Electronic Alcohol Monitoring Grant:
Otter Tail County received a Remote Electronic Alcohol Monitoring Grant in the amount
of $12,000.00 from the Minnesota Department of Corrections for FY2017. This grant
will cover 50% of the cost of electronic home monitoring for qualifying adults charged
with or convicted of a DWI offense. The balance of the costs of electronic monitoring
will be paid by the adult receiving the service.
Adults who are ordered by the Court to abstain from the use of alcohol are determined to
be eligible for the grant if they qualify financially for State Public Defender services.
Adults are monitored daily for any alcohol use through the electronic monitoring
program.
Drivers License Reinstatement Program
Otter Tail County Probation has developed a Drivers License Reinstatement Program.
The purpose of this program is to assist individuals who have been charged with a
qualifying driving offense and need assistance in achieving the reinstatement of their
driving privileges through the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. Individuals who
have been charged with No Minnesota Drivers License, Driving after Suspension,
Driving after Revocation, and Driving after Withdrawal are screened for eligibility.
Offenders must not have multiple driving offenses pending and must be able to complete
the requirements for re-licensure within a six month period of time.
Probation staff will assist participants by helping them identify drivers license
requirements to be met and act as a resource for questions and problem-solving.
Individuals are considered to have successfully completed the Drivers License
Reinstatement Program if they are able to obtain a valid drivers license within the six
months time frame.
Otter Tail County Probation Program Description

DWI Court Program
Otter Tail County Probation offers a DWI Court Program. The Mission Statement is to
“Enhance public safety by reducing the number or fatal and severe injury traffic crashes
related to substance use and reduce the number of repeat offenders which reduce financial
and societal costs by providing an judicially supervised program of coordinated, effective
treatment and supportive services to substance-abusing offenders with the goal of
returning sober, productive, law-abiding citizens to the community.” The program is a
five-phase model with approximately 78 weeks expected in the first four phases and
approximately 27 weeks following graduation in phase five.
The type of treatment and duration of the program is geared to each participant’s
individual needs. Each participant must qualify and be screened for entry into the
program. The Probation Department provides a Probation Officer that is trained in
Specialty Courts as well as a full-time Surveillance Officer. The Surveillance Officer
performs curfew compliance checks and drug tests on participants. The Probation Officer
will use assessment tools to aid in determining the risk and need. They will also enforce
program rules and coordinate services that could include mental health, chemical
dependency, vocational, education and driver’s license reinstatement. Otter Tail County
DWI Court currently has 38 active participants that are in various phases of the program.
SUPERVISION FEES:
Otter Tail County Probation has established a schedule of local corrections fees that are
charged to persons under the supervision and control of the local corrections agency to
help defray costs associated with corrections services in Otter Tail County. The attached
schedule outlines the current supervision fees charged. In 2016, Otter Tail County

Dear Commissioners:
I have attached a summary of the “2017 Solid Waste Transfer Services-Proposals”. I have highlighted the
recommendations for contract. Our current contracts with our transfer services providers expire March 31, 2017. These proposals are for transfer services at the Northeast Otter Tail Landfill/Transfer Station, Henning Transfer Station/Demolition Landfill, Battle Lake Transfer Station, Pelican Rapids Transfer Station, Parkers
Prairie Transfer Station and the Fergus Falls Transfer Station. The present contracts were entered into after a
Transfer Station Bid Process that included Otter Tail County providing a detailed list of equipment which Otter
Tail County required to be available at each site. In this process, Otter Tail County provided prospective proposers with a twelve month history of waste (MSW,
Demo, and By-Pass waste) that was received at each site along with information indicating where that waste is
hauled to both as a primary disposal site and as a secondary disposal site. Otter Tail County also provided what
information we felt that we could relative to likely future site use and waste stream increases or decreases. In addition, the proposal documents identify what equipment each Otter Tail County site has available in the way of buildings and on-site equipment. The intent of the proposal process is to allow each entity making a proposal
the latitude of identifying for Otter Tail County how they propose to provide services, what equipment they
propose to use and how they intend to assure that the waste collected at the Otter Tail County owned transfer
stations is transferred in the most expedient and economically viable process possible. Otter Tail County has also provided a sample contract as a part of the “Proposal” process.
Most of the transfer station sites in Otter Tail County are unique in the methods that they use to store and
transport differing waste items and in how those methods relate to each other at that specific site. At some sites
MSW, Demo, and By-Pass waste are totally independent of each other and at certain other sites the storage and
movement of these waste items are interrelated. The “Proposal” process should give Otter Tail County the flexibility of looking at each site individually and determining which contractor provides the services that
provide each individual site with the most convenient, beneficial and economically viable service.
The following is a description of each transfer station site, a description of the services presented by the
individual proposals, an evaluation of proposals based on history of site needs, contractor recommendations, and costs relative to the proposed five year contract period.
Northeast Otter Tail Landfill/Transfer Station: The Northeast Otter Tail Landfill has a demolition debris disposal landfill on site. Therefore, the services that
are needed at this site included services related to MSW and By-Pass waste only.
Two companies submitted proposals for providing MSW services at the Northeast site. Steve’s Sanitation proposed $135 per load for loads hauled to the primary disposal site (Perham Resource Recovery Facility).
Denzel’s Region Waste proposed $180 per load for loads hauled to the primary disposal site (Perham Resource
Recovery Facility). Otter Tail County has experience working with Steve’s Sanitation and knowledge of their
ability to provide roll-off services during the last contract period. Steve’s Sanitation provided evidence that they have sufficient equipment, including back-up equipment to provide the services proposed.
Based on the fact that Steve’s Sanitation has the lowest proposed price as well as a pricing alternative for Otter
Tail County’s secondary disposal site and Otter Tail County has had a good working experience with Steve’s Sanitation in the past, I recommend awarding the hauling of MSW from the Northeast Landfill to Steve’s Sanitation.
Steve’s Sanitation and Denzel’s Region Waste submitted proposals for hauling By-Pass waste from the
Northeast Otter Tail County Landfill. Steve’s Sanitation submitted the lowest proposal cost ($325 per load) for
hauling to the county’s current primary disposal site (Dakota Landfill). Denzel’s proposal for hauling By-Pass waste from the Northeast Otter Tail County Landfill was ($340 per load).
Based on the fact that Steve’s Sanitation has the lowest proposed price and that Otter Tail County has had a
good working experience with Steve’s Sanitation in the past, I recommend awarding the hauling of By-Pass from the Northeast Landfill to Steve’s Sanitation.
Henning Transfer Station:
The Henning Transfer Station/Demolition Landfill has a demolition debris disposal landfill on site. Therefore,
the services that are needed at this site include services related to MSW and By-Pass waste only. One company submitted a proposal for providing MSW services at the Henning site. Ottertail Trucking
submitted the lowest proposed cost ($396 per load) for loads hauled to the primary disposal site (Perham
Resource Recovery Facility). Otter Tail County has experience working with Ottertail Trucking as they have
provided similar services at the Fergus Falls Transfer Station during the past contract period. Ottertail Trucking has provided evidence that they have sufficient equipment to provide the services proposed.
Based on the fact that Ottertail Trucking has the lowest proposed price for hauling to the county’s primary
disposal site and Ottertail Trucking has proven to be capable of providing similar services at the Henning
Transfer Station I recommend awarding the contract for hauling MSW at the Henning Transfer Station to Ottertail Trucking.
Two companies submitted proposals for providing By-Pass transfer services at the Henning Transfer Station.
Steve’s Sanitation submitted the lowest proposed cost ($335 per load) for loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s
primary disposal site (Dakota Landfill). Denzel’s Region Waste submitted the proposed cost ($360 per load)
for loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s primary disposal site (Dakota Landfill). Otter Tail County has experience working with Steve’s Sanitation as they have provided similar services over the past contract period.
Steve’s Sanitation has provided evidence that they have sufficient equipment necessary to provide the services
proposed.
Based on the fact that Steve’s Sanitation has the lowest proposed price for hauling By-Pass waste to Otter Tail
County’s primary disposal site and that Otter Tail County has had a relatively good working experience with
Steve’s Sanitation in the past, I recommend awarding the hauling of By-Pass from the Henning Transfer Station to Steve’s Sanitation.
Battle Lake Transfer Station:
The services necessary at the Battle Lake Transfer Station include MSW transfer, By-Pass transfer, Demolition
debris transfer. Because of the tipping wall arrangements at the Battle Lake site the contract for providing By-Pass and Demolition debris services will need to be awarded to the same contractor since the boxes sit adjacent to each other and need to be moved as necessary by the contractor. It is not be in the County’s best interest to
ask that one contractor move another contractor’s container. The hauling of MSW can be considered separately
as that area is completely separate of both Demolition debris and By-Pass waste.
Steve’s Sanitation submitted the only proposed cost ($149 per load) for MSW loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s primary disposal site (Perham Resource Recovery Facility). Otter Tail County has experience
working with Steve’s Sanitation as they have provided similar roll-off service during the past contract period.
Steve’s Sanitation has provided evidence that they have sufficient equipment to provide the services proposed.
Based on the fact that Steve’s Sanitation submitted the lowest cost proposal for hauling MSW to Otter Tail County’s primary disposal site and based on the fact that Otter Tail County has experienced a good working
relationship with Steve’s Sanitation in the past, I recommend awarding the hauling of MSW from the Battle
Lake Transfer Station to Steve’s Sanitation.
Two companies submitted proposals for providing By-Pass and Demolition Debris services at the Battle Lake site. Steve’s Sanitation submitted the lowest proposed cost ($326 per load) for By-Pass loads hauled to the
County’s primary disposal site (Dakota Landfill) and Steve’s Sanitation also submitted the lowest proposed cost
($155 per load) for hauling Demolition Debris to the County’s primary disposal site (Northeast Landfill).
Denzel’s Region Waste submitted the proposed cost ($340 per load) for By-Pass loads hauled to the County’s primary disposal site (Dakota Landfill) and Denzel’s Region Waste also submitted the proposed cost ($255 per load) for hauling Demolition Debris to the County’s primary disposal site (Northeast Landfill). Otter Tail
County has experience working with Steve’s Sanitation as they have provided similar services during the past
three year contract period.
Based on the fact that Steve’s Sanitation submitted the lowest cost proposal for both By-Pass waste and Demolition Debris hauling and based on Otter Tail County’s experience in working with Steve’s Sanitation I
would recommend awarding the hauling of both By-Pass Waste and Demolition Debris to Steve’s Sanitation.
Pelican Rapids Transfer Station: The services necessary at the Pelican Rapids Transfer Station include MSW transfer, By-Pass transfer, and
Demolition debris transfer. The hauling of all items can be considered separately as these areas are separated
into MSW, Demolition debris, and By-Pass waste.
Two companies submitted proposals for providing MSW services at the Pelican Rapids site. Ballard Sanitation submitted the lowest proposal cost ($170 per load) for loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s primary disposal site
(Perham Resource Recovery Facility). Steve’s Sanitation submitted the proposal cost ($175 per load) for loads
hauled to Otter Tail County’s primary disposal site (Perham Resource Recovery Facility). The existing contract
allows for the contractor to utilize two (2) closed top roll-off containers that are owned by Otter Tail County,
however, the current Request For Proposals require that the proposer supply four (4) closed top roll-off
containers as the existing Otter Tail County containers are in excess of 20 years old, leak, and are in a constant
state of disrepair. The Ballard Sanitation proposal does not include supplying of new closed top roll-off
containers but instead provides a statement indicating their intent to continue to use the existing County owned containers and repair them.
Based on the fact that Steve’s Sanitation has provided the only proposal that includes replacing the old County
owned containers and based on the fact that Otter Tail County has had a good working experience with Steve’s Sanitation in the past, I recommend awarding the hauling of MSW from the Pelican Rapids Transfer Station to Steve’s Sanitation.
Two companies submitted proposals for providing By-Pass services at the Pelican Rapids site. Steve’s
Sanitation submitted the lowest proposed cost ($325 per load) for loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s primary
disposal site (Dakota Landfill). Denzel’s Region Waste submitted the proposed cost ($340 per load) for loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s primary disposal site (Dakota Landfill). Otter Tail County has experience working with Steve’s Sanitation as they have provided similar roll-off services during the past contract period.
Based on the fact that Steve’s Sanitation has the lowest proposed price and that Otter Tail County has had a good working experience with Steve’s Sanitation in the past, I recommend awarding the hauling of By-Pass waste from the Pelican Rapids Transfer Station to Steve’s Sanitation.
Three companies submitted proposals for providing Demolition Debris services at the Pelican Rapids site.
Ballard Sanitation submitted the lowest proposal cost ($170 per load) for loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s
primary disposal site (Northeast Otter Tail Landfill). Steve’s Sanitation submitted the proposal cost ($175 per load) and Denzel’s Region Waste submitted the proposal cost ($255 per load) for loads hauled to Otter Tail County’s primary disposal site (Northeast Otter Tail Landfill). Otter Tail County has experience working with
Ballard Sanitation as they have provided similar roll-off services at the Pelican Rapids Transfer Station during
the past contract period. Ballard Sanitation has provided evidence that they have sufficient equipment to
provide the services proposed. Based on the fact that Ballard Sanitation has the lowest proposed price and that Otter Tail County has had a
good working experience with Ballard Sanitation in the past, I recommend awarding the hauling of Demolition
Debris from the Pelican Rapids Transfer Station to Ballard Sanitation.
Parkers Prairie Transfer Station: The services necessary at the Parkers Prairie Transfer Station include only the dumping of three six yard
garbage dumpsters used for the disposal of MSW.
No companies submitted a proposal cost for servicing the dumpsters at the Parkers Prairie Transfer Station.
Fergus Falls Transfer Station:
The Fergus Falls Transfer Station proposal includes services related to MSW that will be hauled from the
Fergus Falls Transfer Station to both the Perham Resource Recovery Facility and the Dakota Landfill. MSW and By-Pass waste will both be hauled in the same open top walking floor trailers. The Fergus Falls Transfer
Station will not be accepting demolition debris at this time.
One company (Ottertail Trucking) submitted a proposal for providing MSW and By-Pass at the Fergus Falls
Transfer Station. Since both MSW and By-Pass waste will be hauled using the same equipment and since the
proposal submitted for hauling MSW and By-Pass waste was the same cost proposal for both MSW and By-
Pass waste Otter Tail County will consider the hauling of both MSW and By-Pass waste simultaneously while evaluating proposals.
Ottertail Trucking submitted the lowest cost proposal ($396 per load) for hauling MSW waste to the County’s
primary disposal site (Perham Resource Recovery Facility) and the lowest cost proposal ($577 per load) for
hauling By-Pass waste to the County’s primary disposal site (Dakota Landfill). Otter Tail County has experience working with Ottertail Trucking over the past contract period.
Based on the fact that Ottertail Trucking submitted the lowest cost proposal and based on the fact that Otter
Tail County has experience working with Ottertail Trucking, I recommend awarding the hauling of MSW and By-Pass waste from the Fergus Falls Transfer Station to Ottertail Trucking.
