OPIOID SETTLEMENT UPDATE
County Administrator Nicole Hansen reviewed allocations received and expected to be received from the
State’s Opioid Settlement with the three largest opioid distributors, McKesson, Cardinal Health, and
AmerisourceBergren, and opioid manufacturer Johnson and Johnson (Janssen). Hansen also advised that
the Association of Minnesota Counties reported that more settlements are ongoing with other opioid providers,
which may result in additional allocations distributed to the County. Public Health is identified as the Chief
Strategist and funds must be used to mitigate the impact of opioids within the community. Efforts are
developing internally to provide a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to prevent and address addiction
locally. Public Health Director Jody Lien provided that up to 10% of settlement funds can be used for
administrative costs, which will allow allocating Health Educator time to support planning through the collection
and analysis of data and program evaluation. In addition, early allocation of settlement funds will support
Health Educators to work on primary prevention, should that be identified as a desired strategy.

Agreement”); and

Registrar described herein.
2.2. Dates; Interest Payment Dates. Each Bond will be dated as of the last interest payment date
preceding the date of authentication to which interest on the Bond has been paid or made available for payment,
unless (i) the date of authentication is an interest payment date to which interest has been paid or made available
for payment, in which case such Bond will be dated as of the date of authentication, or (ii) the date of authentication
is prior to the first interest payment date, in which case such Bond will be dated as of the date of original issue.
The interest on the Bonds is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2023, to
the owner of record thereof as of the close of business on the fifteenth day of the immediately preceding month,
whether or not such day is a business day.
2.3. Registration. The County will appoint and maintain a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating
agent and paying agent (“Registrar”). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the County and the
Registrar with respect thereto are as follows:
(a) Register. The Registrar must keep at its principal office a bond register in which the
Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the registered
owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar,

the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the
fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.

and maturity, as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange will be promptly
canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the County.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar for
transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement
on the Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is
legally authorized. The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which
it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The County and the Registrar may treat the person in whose
name a Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is
overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on
the Bond and for all other purposes, and payments so made to a registered owner or upon the owner’s
order will be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the
sum or sums so paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For a transfer or exchange of Bonds, the Registrar may
impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.

stolen or lost, the Registrar will deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution
for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the
Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the
Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership
thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and
amount satisfactory to it and as provided by law, in which both the County and the Registrar must be
named as obligees. Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar will be canceled by the Registrar and evidence
of such cancellation must be given to the County. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has
already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a
new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof
identifying the Bonds to be redeemed will be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption
notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) not more than 60 and not less than 30 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the
registration books kept by the Registrar. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered
owner, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of any proceeding for the redemption of Bonds.
Bonds so called for redemption will cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided
that the funds for the redemption are on deposit with the place of payment at that time.

Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the

The County has designated the issue of Bonds of which this Bond forms a part as “qualified tax-exempt

This Bond is one of an issue of Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of $4,570,000, all of like date

obligations payable therefrom) are payable primarily from the revenues generated by the County’s solid waste
disposal system as set forth in the Resolution, but this Bond constitutes a general obligation of the County
and the full faith and credit of the County are irrevocably pledged for payment of this Bond and the Board of
Commissioners of the County has obligated itself to levy ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the County
in the event of any deficiency, which taxes may be levied without limitation as to rate or amount. The Bonds of
this series are issued only as fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof of
single maturities.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Bond is transferable
upon the books of the County kept at the office of the Registrar, by the Registered Owner hereof in person or
by the Registered Owner's duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of this Bond for transfer at the office of
the Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Registrar duly executed by, the Registered Owner hereof or the Registered Owner's duly authorized attorney,
and, upon payment of any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such
transfer, one or more fully registered Bonds of the series of the same principal amount, maturity and interest
rate will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. The County and the Bond Registrar may deem
and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof, whether this Bond is
overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and neither the County nor the
Bond Registrar will be affected by any notice to the contrary.
The Bonds of this series are issuable only as fully registered bonds without coupons in denominations
of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof not exceeding the principal amount maturing in any one year. As
provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Bonds of this series are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of this series of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Registered Owner or the Registered Owner's duly authorized attorney
upon surrender thereof to the Registrar.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts, conditions and things
required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen and to be performed
preliminary to and in the issuance of this Bond in order to make it a valid and binding general obligation of the

Page 10 of 34
County in accordance with its terms, have been done, do exist, have happened and have been performed as so
required, and that the issuance of this Bond does not cause the indebtedness of the County to exceed any
constitutional or statutory limitation of indebtedness.

Resolution until the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by the Bond Registrar by manual
signature of one of its authorized representatives.

Signatures must be guaranteed by a national

Section 4. Execution and Delivery.
The Bonds shall be prepared in printed form under the direction of the County Administrator and when
so prepared shall be executed on behalf of the County by the manual or facsimile signature of the Chair and
by the manual or facsimile signature of the County Administrator. In case any officer whose signature or a
facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond,
such signature or facsimile will nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had
remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond will not be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication
on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar.
Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed
certificate of authentication on each Bond is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered
under this Resolution. The Bonds initially issued hereunder shall be registered as of the date of issuance, and
all Bonds issued in exchange therefor shall be registered as of such date, or, if issued after the first payment
date, as of the most recent interest payment date on which interest was paid or duly provided for. When the
Bonds shall have been so prepared and executed, they shall be delivered to the purchaser by the County
Administrator or the Administrator's designee(s) upon receipt of the purchase price and accrued interest and
the signed legal opinion of Kutak Rock LLP, as Bond Counsel, and the purchaser shall not be required to see
to the proper application of the proceeds.
Section 5. Registration and Transfer.
As long as any of the Bonds issued hereunder shall remain outstanding, the County shall maintain
and keep at the office of the Registrar an office or agency for the payment of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds, as in this Resolution provided, and for the registration and transfer of the Bonds, and shall also
keep at the office of the Registrar books for such registration and transfer. Upon surrender for transfer of any
Bond at the office of the Registrar with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Registrar, duly
executed by the registered owner or the owner's duly authorized attorney, and upon payment of any tax, fee
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer, the County shall execute and
the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
Board of Commissioners’ Meeting Minutes December 13, 2022
Page 12 of 34
more fully registered Bonds of the same series and maturity date, of any authorized denominations of a like
aggregate principal amount, maturity and interest rate. The Bonds, upon surrender thereof at the office of the
Registrar, may at the option of the registered owner thereof be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal
amount of Bonds of the same maturity date and interest rate of any authorized denominations. In all cases in
which the privilege of exchanging Bonds or transferring fully registered Bonds is exercised, the County shall
execute and the Registrar shall deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Resolution. For every
such exchange or transfer of Bonds, whether temporary or definitive, the County or the Registrar may make a
charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect
to such exchange or transfer, which sum or sums shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or
transfer as a condition precedent to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, the cost of preparing each new Bond upon each
exchange or transfer, and any other expenses of the County or the Registrar incurred in connection therewith
(except any applicable tax, fee or other governmental charge) shall be paid by the County. The County and
the Registrar shall not be required to make any transfer or exchange of any Bonds during the fifteen (15) days
next preceding any February 1 or August 1 interest payment date.
Section 6. Payment; Security; Pledges and Covenants.
6.1. Payment. Interest on any Bond which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any interest payment date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Bond (or one or more Bonds for
which such Bond was exchanged) is registered at the close of business on the 15th day of the month preceding
such interest payment date. Any interest on any Bond which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any interest payment date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder on the
relevant regular record date solely by virtue of such holder having been such holder; and such defaulted
interest may be paid by the County in any lawful manner, if, after notice given by the County to the Registrar
of the proposed payment pursuant to this paragraph, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Registrar. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, each Bond delivered under this Resolution
upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond and each such Bond shall bear interest from
such date that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.
6.2. Fund and Accounts. For the convenience and proper administration of the moneys to be
borrowed and repaid on the Bonds, and to provide adequate and specific security for the Purchaser and
holders from time to time of the Bonds, there is hereby created a special fund to be designated the "General
Obligation Solid Waste Revenue Bonds, Series 2022A Fund" (the "Debt Service Fund") to be administered
and maintained by the County Treasurer as a bookkeeping account separate and apart from all other funds
maintained in the official financial records of the County. The Debt Service Fund shall be maintained in the
manner herein specified until the Bonds have been fully paid. There shall be deposited in the Debt Service
Fund: (a) the net revenues of the County’s solid waste disposal system which are hereby irrevocably
appropriated and pledged to the payment of principal and interest on the Bonds on a parity with any other
obligations of the County heretofore or hereafter issued which are payable from such net revenues; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall prevent the issuance and sale of additional bonds payable from such net
revenues; (b) any taxes levied under Section 6.4 hereof to the extent necessary to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds; and (c) interest earnings on the foregoing. If any payment of principal or interest on the
Bonds will become due when there is not sufficient money in the Debt Service Fund to pay the same, the County
Treasurer will pay such principal or interest from the general fund of the County, and the general fund will be
reimbursed for such advances out of available net revenues of the water system or the proceeds of taxes levied
pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, when collected.
Board of Commissioners’ Meeting Minutes December 13, 2022
Page 13 of 34
The Debt Service Fund shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for
redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the County hereafter issued by the County
and made payable from said account as provided by law.
6.3. It is determined that the estimated revenues generated by the County’s solid waste disposal
system pledged to the payment of the Bonds will produce at least five percent in excess of the amount needed
to meet when due, the principal and interest payments on the Bonds and other obligations payable therefrom.
6.4. The Bonds are general obligations of the County to which the full faith, credit and unlimited taxing
power of the County are hereby pledged. The Board of Commissioners of the County shall levy general ad
valorem taxes on all taxable property in the County, if necessary, to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds
when due.
6.5. The County has entered into an agreement with the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority whereby
the Bonds are entitled to the benefits of the Authority’s Credit Enhancement Program. The County shall notify
the Public Facilities Authority of any potential default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds
and to perform all of its obligations under the Agreement and Minnesota Statutes, Section 446A.086. The County
shall deposit with the paying agent three business days prior to each payment date an amount sufficient to make
the payment due on each such date or to notify the Authority that it will be unable to make all or a portion of that
payment. The County shall do all other things which may be necessary to perform the obligations undertaken
under the Agreement and Section 446A.086, including any requirement adopted by the Authority.
6.6. The County Administrator is authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with
the County Auditor and to obtain the certificate required by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.63.
Section 7. Ownership of Bonds.
As to any Bond, the County and the Registrar and their respective successors, each in its discretion,
may deem and treat the person in whose name the same for the time being shall be registered as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes and neither the County nor the Registrar nor their respective successors shall
be affected by any notice to the contrary. Payment of or on account of the principal of any such Bond shall be
made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof, but such registration may be changed as above
provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 8. Book-Entry System.
(a) For purposes of this paragraph 8, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Beneficial Owner” shall mean, whenever used with respect to a Bond, the person recorded
as the beneficial owner of such Bond by a Participant on the records of such Participant, or such
person's subrogee.
“Cede & Co.” shall mean Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and any successor nominee of
DTC with respect to the Bonds.
“DTC” shall mean The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York.

DTC, which shall be executed in substantially the form on file.
(b) The Bonds shall be initially issued as separate authenticated fully registered bonds, and one
Bond shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the
ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the bond register of the County kept by the Registrar in the
name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Registrar and the County may treat DTC (or its nominee) as
the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal
of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice
permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under this Resolution, registering the transfer
of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the Registrar nor the County shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Registrar nor the County shall have any responsibility or obligation
to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or
any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the registration books of the Registrar as being a
registered owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any
Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to the principal
of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or required to be given to owners of
Bonds under this Resolution, with respect to the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to receive
payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any consent given or other action
taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. The Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on the
Bonds only to Cede & Co. in accordance with the Representation Letter, and all such payments shall be valid
and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the County's obligations with respect to the principal of and interest
on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an
authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the County to make
payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of written notice to the effect that
DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to
such new nominee in accordance with subparagraph (e) hereof.
(c) In the event the County determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that
they be able to obtain Bond certificates, the County may notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall
notify the Participants, of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be
transferable in accordance with subparagraph (f) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its
services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the Registrar and
discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be
transferable in accordance with subparagraph (e) hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution apparently to the contrary, so long as
any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal
of and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made and given, respectively,
to DTC as provided in the Representation Letter.
(e) The application of the terms of the Representation Letter to the Bonds is hereby confirmed.
The Representation Letter incorporate by reference certain matters with respect to, among other things,
notices, consents and approvals by registered owners of the Bonds and Beneficial Owners and payments on
the Bonds. The Registrar shall have the same rights with respect to its actions thereunder as it has with
respect to its actions under this Resolution.
(f) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under subparagraph (b) or
(c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar from the registered

the County the Certificate in substantially the form presented to the Board of Commissioners subject to such
modifications thereof or additions thereto as are (i) consistent with the requirements under the Rule, (ii)
required by the Purchaser of the Bonds, and (iii) acceptable to the Officers.
Section 11. Registration. The County Auditor shall register the Bonds in their office as required by law.
Section 12. Tax Covenants.
12.1. The County covenants and agrees with the holders from time to time of the Bonds that it will not
take or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents any action which would cause the interest
on the Bonds to become subject to taxation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code),
and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, in effect at the time of such actions, and that it will take
or cause its officers, employees or agents to take, all affirmative action within its power that may be necessary
to ensure that such interest will not become subject to taxation under the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations, as presently existing or as hereafter amended and made applicable to the Bonds.

limitation requirements relating to temporary periods for investments, limitations on amounts invested at a yield
greater than the yield on the Bonds, and the rebate of excess investment earnings to the United States.
12.2. The County further covenants not to use the proceeds of the Bonds or to cause or permit them
or any of them to be used, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be “private activity bonds” within the
meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.

Probation in Minnesota
What is Probation?
Probation is one form of community supervision, which is an umbrella term that includes probation, supervised
release, and pre-trial services. Many people use the term probation and community supervision interchangeably.
Throughout this document, probation is used to refer to all parts of the community supervision system which are
defined below.
There are three probation delivery systems in Minnesota that use a
combination of state and county provided services. Counties provide about
80% of the probation and supervised release services in the state and the
Department of Corrections (DOC) provides the other 20%.
How is Probation Funded in Minnesota?
Every probation delivery system has its own method of funding.
• The DOC receives a direct agency appropriation from the Legislature and is included in the Governor’s
budget request to the Legislature. The Legislative funding is the main source of funding for the DOC. For
DOC contract counties, the DOC provides all supervision services and bills the county for juvenile and
adult non-felony cases. The county is eligible for a 50% reimbursement of costs just like the CPO Counties
described in the next paragraph.
• CPO counties provide and pay for probation services for juveniles and adult non-felons, which is
reimbursable up to 50% from the DOC. If the Legislature does not appropriate enough money to the DOC
to reimburse the entire 50% of costs, the DOC pro-rates the reimbursements. CPO counties have not
received the complete reimbursement amount since the 1990’s.
• CCA counties receive a subsidy from the Legislature after it passes through the DOC budget. The subsidy
is distributed to the CCA counties through a complicated formula considering population, case filings,
criminal defendants that are not sent to prison, and adjusted net tax capacity. In most counties, the state
subsidy does not cover more than 1/3 of costs for probation that is provided by the county on behalf of
the DOC — well below the intended 50% cost-share by the state. ProbationA community supervision sanction imposed on a person by the court as an alternative to or in conjunction with confinement or intermediate sanctions. They may be convicted of felony, gross misdemeanor, or misdemeanor offensesSupervised ReleaseCommunity supervision for
those who committed felony
offenses are released from
prison on their court-ordered
release date. In Minnesota, state
law requires most people serve
two-thirds of their sentence in
prison and one-third in the
community under supervision.
Some people who require
greater supervision are placed
on intensive supervised release.Pre-Trial SupervisionPretrial supervision is
community supervision of
person that has not yet been
convicted of a crime. Agents
ensure clients show up to court,
comply with conditions of
release, and connect them with
voluntary services like
substance use disorder and
mental health treament.

The Problem – Confusion and Underfunding
The three different funding mechanisms used to fund Minnesota’s probation systems are not only difficult to
understand but also create inequalities in service and outcomes. Every year, the three delivery systems approach
the Legislature separately for funding to provide an essential public safety service. Counties are at a disadvantage
because they are not at the table as a state agency therefore, they must rely on the DOC to include county funding
in the governor’s proposed budget. If that does not happen, counties must bring an independent bill to ask for
funding. When choosing between the state budget and county subsidies and reimbursements, legislators often
cut the county funding proposals, which means that counties — who deliver more than 80% of the State’s
probation services — are consistently underfunded. Even when the DOC field services budget gets an increase, it
has not been enough to hire additional field agents.
Minnesota is last in the nation when it comes to general fund spending on corrections. The impact is felt
severely by smaller counties with fewer resources. Without proper resources, probation staff cannot do their
job effectively which impacts public safety in every county regardless of delivery system.
The Solution – More Funding and a New Formula Created
by Counties
AMC has gone to the Legislature year after year for funding to support better outcomes but has
been unsuccessful in obtaining any meaningful changes. Until the outdated formula and funding structure are
amended, counties will be required to make up the difference between what the state provides and what public
safety necessitates through increased property tax levies. Counties have the solution and are unified in their
proposal to fix the probation funding formula.
The AMC Community Supervision Workgroup is creating a better probation funding formula to apply one
method of funding for all counties. All three probation delivery systems are retained in this proposal, preserving
county choice. The simplified formula will be based on data from a workload study that is currently underway
and will be used to calculate the actual cost for probation. The workload study is tracking the work of agents
throughout the state to determine how many staff are required to provide evidence-based practices throughout
the state. Once the required staffing is determined, the Workgroup determine the daily cost of probation for each
case which will be the basis for legislative appropriations. This will ensure that counties are part of the same
funding stream as the DOC, so the entire system is funded as part of the state budget. There will be a substantial
appropriation request in addition to the proposed formula to ensure that all counties can maintain a base level
of probation and evidence-based practices that are proven to reduce the rate of reoffence.
The Resolution
AMC is asking for the support of all 87 counties to support the efforts of the Community Supervision Workgroup
to create a more effective probation system in Minnesota. A resolution by all 87 counties is a message to
legislators that they can no longer ignore this critical aspect of Minnesota’s public safety system and must do
their job in 2023 by passing a new formula and accompanying funding.

MACCAC Director, at 651-789-4335 or cstark@mncounties.org.

RESOLUTION ENDORSING THE EFFORTS OF THE COMMUNITY SUPERVISION WORK GROUP AND
URGING THE LEGISLATURE TO PASS A NEW FUNDING FORMULA AND SIGNIFICANT APPROPRIATION
DURING THE 2023 LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
Otter Tail County Resolution No. 2022 -
WHEREAS, community supervision is a fundamental part of the criminal justice system in
Minnesota and funding sufficient to ensure effective services is vital to public safety in all communities
across the state; and
WHEREAS, community supervision includes services such as probation, supervised release, and
intensive supervised release; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota’s counties provide essential community supervision services both as
mandated by M.S. Chapter 244.19 and also as delegated by the Department of Corrections under M.S.
Chapter 401; and
WHEREAS, when the Legislature decided that community supervision was best delivered through
a state-county partnership, it stated a clear intent that the state would provide significant funding to the
counties for the operation of local programs; and
WHEREAS, over the past 20 years, Minnesota has become the state with the lowest level of
corrections funding in the nation because the Legislature has not upheld its promise to provide adequate
state resources to support community supervision; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature’s failure to adequately fund community supervision has increased local
property taxes on residents and businesses; and,
WHEREAS, a revised community supervision funding formula is necessary to ensure that all
communities in Minnesota have enough state funding to provide a consistent standard for effective,
evidence-based community supervision services, regardless of local capacity to pay; and
WHEREAS, the Association of Minnesota Counties assembled the Community Supervision Work
Group including county leaders and experts in community supervision from all three supervision delivery
systems to study the needs of community supervision departments statewide and develop a single
funding formula that is transparent, needs based, and equitable among county and state supervision
providers; and,
WHEREAS, the Community Supervision Workgroup has taken up its charge to convene
stakeholders across the three probation delivery systems to oversee a study to create a unified
recommendation for an equitable and adequate funding formula and appropriation; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Association of Minnesota Counties that represents the
diverse interests of Minnesota’s 87 counties, voted to support a new funding formula that provides
counties with the resources needed to keep communities safe; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners endorses the efforts of the
Community Supervision Work Group and urges the Legislature to pass a new funding formula and
significant appropriation during the 2023 legislative session.
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was introduced by Commissioner , duly
seconded by Commissioner and, after discussion thereof and upon vote being taken thereon,
passed .

Otter Tail County Interim Ordinance Placing a Moratorium on the Sale of Hemp Derived
Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) Food and Beverages within the County of Otter Tail
The County Board of Otter Tail County ordains:
SECTION I: PURPOSE AND FINDINGS WHEREAS, the County of Otter Tail (the “County”) recognizes significant public interest in new State laws that took effect July 1, 2022, that now make it legal to sell certain edibles and beverages infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabis ingredient extracted from
hemp; and WHEREAS, the purpose of the interim ordinance placing a moratorium on the sale of hemp derived THC food and beverages is to allow the county time to study the issue and consider licensing and rules, sales management controls for the sale of hemp derived THC food and beverages behind the sales counter; similar to tobacco sales and products, checking identifications (ID’s), enforcement, compliance checks, license fees and other regulatory issues to consider; and WHEREAS, based on the most reliable and up-to-date scientific evidence, the County Board finds that the rapid introduction of newly legalized edible THC (specifically Delta-9 and Delta-8)
products (“edibles”), presents a significant potential threat to the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Otter Tail County, and particularly to youth; and WHEREAS, Otter Tail County has the opportunity to be proactive and make decisions that will mitigate this threat and reduce exposure of young people to the products and to the marketing of these products; and
WHEREAS, the United States Surgeon General has issued an advisory to alert the public to the known and potential harms to developing brains, posed by the increasing availability of highly potent THC in multiple, concentrated forms; and the reasons for concerns with the increasing use of marijuana by pregnant women, adolescents, and youth; and WHEREAS, the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine note that the growing acceptance, accessibility, and use of cannabis and its derivatives have raised important
public health concerns, while the lack of knowledge by the public of known cannabis-related health effects has led to misinformation about the negative health impact of its use; and
WHEREAS, 32.8 million Americans ages 12 and older reported using cannabis in the past 30 days, 49.6 million reported use in the past year, and 90 percent of adult cannabis users in the United States said their primary use was recreational; and between 2002 and 2019, the percentage of past-month cannabis users in the U.S. population ages 12 and older increased steadily from 6.2 percent to 10.8 percent; and
WHEREAS, research has found cannabis use during adolescence, especially of products high in THC or when use is heavy, is associated with suicide attempt, high school drop-out, higher likelihood of use of other illicit drugs, mental health impairment, elevated risk for addiction to THC, impaired driving, and deficits in memory and learning; and
WHEREAS, nationally, there have been significant increases in cannabis use among those age
12 and older, but especially among those age 18-22, and cannabis use rates by youth age 18-22 are higher in many states with legal adult-use cannabis than in non-legal states; and
WHEREAS, the perception of risk from cannabis consumption has been falling steadily, dropping from 58.3% to 31.1% among youth nationally between 2000 and 2016, and just 17.1% among 12–17-year-olds in Minnesota in 2018/19; and WHEREAS, reported past year vaping of marijuana by youth nationally aged 18-22 doubled between 2017 and 2018, with 20.8 percent of 12th graders, and 19.4% of 10th graders, reporting past year marijuana vaping; and WHEREAS, in 2016, 15.7% of 11th grade students in Minnesota who reported that they had used marijuana in the past 30 days, a number far exceeding that for cigarette smoking (8.4%); and
WHEREAS, 11th grade students in Otter Tail County reported that they had used marijuana in the past 30 days, has grown from 2.6% in 2013 to 4.1% in 2019; and
WHEREAS, Minnesota has recognized the danger of cannabis use among youth by prohibiting the sale of edibles to those under age 21 (Minn. Stat. § 151.72, subd. 3(c)) and by requiring that
edibles be packaged without appeal to children and in child-resistant containers (Minn. Stat. § 151.72, subd. 5a(b)); and
WHEREAS, many years of alcohol and tobacco retailing, which are likely to have parallels in cannabis retailing, have demonstrated that Minnesota retailers continue to sell alcohol and tobacco to underage consumers; and WHEREAS, children and young people are particularly influenced by cues suggesting tobacco smoking is acceptable, which holds relevance for cannabis smoking; and WHEREAS, while the sale of edible THC products has been legalized in Minnesota, THC continues to be a Schedule I prohibited substance federally and therefore presents special challenges in multiple federally regulated spheres including banking, broadcasting, and immigration; and
WHEREAS, all the above criteria and many more require consideration by health officials and policy makers before Otter Tail County can ensure the public safety is preserved.
SECTION II: AUTHORITY AND JURISDICTION A. This Ordinance is enacted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Chapters 145A allowing for local ordinances for counties to regulate actual and potential threats to the public health. B. Pursuant to Minn. Stat.§ 145A.05, Subd. 1, this Ordinance shall apply throughout all of Otter Tail County including all municipalities and unincorporated areas therein. Nothing in this Ordinance shall prevent other local levels of government within Otter Tail County from adopting more stringent measures. SECTION III: DURATION AND EFFECTIVE DATE

Commissioners. B. In the absence of state licensing, cities that establish licensing and rules, sales management controls, checking identifications (ID’s), enforcement, compliance
checks, license fees and address other regulatory issues may, by resolution of the city council, be exempt from this moratorium. NOW THEREFORE, this interim ordinance, placing a moratorium on the sale of hemp derived THC food and beverages to allow the county time to study the issue and consider licensing and rules, sales management controls for the sale of hemp derived THC food and beverages behind the sales counter; similar to tobacco sales and products, checking identifications (ID’s), enforcement, compliance checks, license fees and other regulatory issues to consider, is adopted by the County Board of Otter Tail this ___ day of ____________________, 2022 and shall take effect on _____________________________.

The proposed levy will support an overall budget of approximately $150 million.
Upon completion of the presentation, Commissioner Murphy called upon the Commissioners for comments. The following was noted: 1. Considerable time was spent by staff preparing the proposed budget,
2. The commissioners met with internal department and external agencies to review budgetary request. 3. The Commissioners take development of the overall budget seriously. 4. The Commissioners use a responsible approach to the development of the budget. 5. The leadership and staff were complemented for using constraint when developing their team/departmental budgets and for taking the time to carefully review their budgetary needs. 6. The importance of a growing tax base. At this time, Betty Murphy, Chair, opened the meeting to the public for questions and comments concerning the County’s proposed 2023 budget and proposed payable 2023 gross and net levy. All three individual from the public addressed the Commissioners. The following is a summary of the comments/questions that were shared: 1. There were comments regarding the State’s budget surplus.
2. There was concern regarding increase spending given our current economic condition/circumstances. 3. Varying property value increases from parcel to parcel were expressed as a concern. The individual was encouraged to contact the office for review and explanation regarding the varying changes. 4. Concern with the maintenance of a township road was noted. The individual was encouraged to reach out to the Town Board of Supervisors. 5. The value of a property in the City of Underwood was discussed. 6. There was brief discussion regarding where dollars are expended. It was suggested that if the individual had specific questions regarding certain expenditures that those questions could be address to the office for clarification and/or explanation. 7. Rising property valuations and property taxes were concerns express by those in attendance. The following two emails were received prior to the public hearing:
When I sold my house in XXXXX (another state) in 2014 and changed residency and homestead
to Minnesota my taxes went up nearly $10,000. Property taxes didn’t change between seasonal and homestead because of the ceiling on homestead. And income taxes are very high as evidenced by the state surplus. I believe Otter Tail County is doing a good job of managing it’s budget. This year my property value went up over 19%, but the proposed tax went up by only
1.3%.
I can see the levy amount for the county went down in the proposal, but the county's overall
net tax capacity went up by 27.11% due to the increase in value of every classification of property. What I want to know is the bottom line. How many millions were collected in 2022 versus how many millions WILL BE collected in 2023 if this proposal goes through? I
understand there was inflation, but if the bottom line goes higher than just adding for inflation,
I believe it will not be fair to all of us just trying to live with all the inflation that we have right
now. Don't raise taxes beyond our capacity to pay! Don't treat this increase in all our property
values as if it's a Christmas gift to the county and commissioners! The Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners will take official action to adopt the final 2022 Budget and Levy at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, December 20, 2022. Betty Murphy, Chair, asked if there was anyone else from the public that wanted to address the Board of Commissioners with questions and/or comments regarding the proposed calendar year 2023 budget and the proposed 2023 net tax levy. Hearing no other public comments, questions or concerns, Betty Murphy, Chair, thanked those in attendance for their participation and then declared the Otter Tail County Levy and Budget
hearing adjourned at 6:58 p.m. Prepared by Wayne Stein, County Auditor-Treasurer

VOLUNTEER FURLOUGH POLICY
Issued 03/23/2010 Revised
08/24/2010

06/06/2018
01/01/2023
Objective
The Voluntary Furlough Plan is an unpaid leave developed as a cost-
savings measure for the County. Voluntary Furlough continues to be
beneficial for employees without accumulated vacation or sick leave.
Policy Statement The Voluntary Furlough Plan provides employees an opportunity to
take leave without affecting longevity, seniority, or benefits and is a
cost savings for the County.
Scope Applies to all regular County employees.
Statutory References None; the Voluntary Furlough Policy is approved by PERA as a
reduction in salary to achieve budgetary savings.
The Voluntary Furlough Plan allows employees, on a volunteer basis, to request up to 96 hours of furlough
(unpaid time off) during a calendar year. An employee may not request to use furlough hours if their vacation
leave balance is 80 hours or more. An employee may not submit a furlough request for dates that are 90 days
beyond the date of the request.
Full-time employees may voluntarily request up to 96 hours of furlough (unpaid time off) during a calendar
year (January 1 to December 31). Part-time regular employees working less than 40 hours per week may
voluntarily request furlough on a pro-rated basis. New employees hired will be allowed 8 hours per month of
furlough during the calendar year in which he or she was hired, and, by agreement, the employee may take
more than eight (8) hours in one month. For example, an employee hired in July may use a maximum of 48
hours of furlough during the calendar year in which he or she was hired. Furlough hours are not carried over
from year to year.
If an employee requests furlough time, the following will apply:
A. The leave will not exceed 96 hours within a calendar year or 12 days for exempt
employees for regular full-time employees. Part-time regular employees may use
furlough on a pro-rated basis. New employees are allowed 8 hours per month of
furlough as described above.
B. Non-exempt employees (hourly) are required to take furlough in increments of no
less than one (1) hour.
C. Exempt employees are required to take furlough in increments of no less than a day.
Otter Tail County Human Resources
Updated January 2023
Otter Tail County Human Resources
D. Exempt employees cannot work more than 40 hours during the week they use
voluntary furlough hours.
E. The employee’s longevity, seniority, or benefits will not be affected.
F. The employee will not be prorated on insurance benefits, vacation accrual, or sick
leave accrual, holiday accrual and/or holiday pay.
G. If furlough is requested when an employee is on an FMLA, furlough will be utilized
prior to unpaid leave. An employee on a formal leave of absence is not entitled to
furlough.
H. The leave is subject to prior approval by the employee’s supervisor and Department
Head or their designees. Furlough hours will be appropriately documented by the
Department and reported to payroll.
The County reserves the right to deny any employee’s request for unpaid time based on the number of
requests received, an employee’s critical skills, and business needs. The County will only approve unpaid
time in situations when the County could absorb the loss of hours within the department/unit without
significantly impacting service. Voluntary furlough requests will be submitted in a reasonable timeframe prior
to the furlough to be taken, but approval may also be given at a supervisor’s discretion in situations that could
not be pre-planned, such as a medical leave. Requests for furlough (unpaid leave) will need to be in writing,
and each department will be required to track the total hours taken so not to exceed the 96 hours. Employees
must document the unpaid leave time on their timesheet in the explanation area as “furlough”.
*Please note that unpaid time will affect your PERA and Social Security as these are determined based on
wages.
For PERA: Generally, there is no effect on your pension unless you are within 5 years of retirement. If an
employee chooses to pay their portion to buy back furlough time from PERA, it must be received within one
year from the end of the reporting period or within six months of your termination date if you terminate public
service. If an employee chooses a buy back, Otter Tail County will pay the employer portion plus the interest.
Employees must complete a voluntary furlough request form, which is to be approved by their supervisor and
Department Head and provided to Administration. Voluntary furlough time needs to be appropriately coded
and reported to payroll. Employees and supervisors are responsible for tracking furlough hours used as well
as ensuring that the employee is eligible for furlough based on the policy.
