State Community Health Services Advisory Committee (SCHSACI Report
Ms. Thorson submitted a report of the SCHSAC meeting held on December 17, 2010. She discussed
State CHS Advisory Committee leadership positions, rulemaking for ice arenas and food code,
disease prevention and control, and disaster response for potential anthrax exposure.
Recommendations regarding local public health objectives over the next five to ten years using
current programs were forwarded to the Commissioner of Health.
Burial Allowance Policy Update
Human Services Director, John Dinsmore, opened discussion regarding a proposed County Burial
Disposition Allowance and Expenditure Policy dated 12/28/10. He provided burial and funeral related
expenditures for 2002 through 2010. Mr. Dinsmore explained that expenses for funerals and burials
paid by the County are intended only for indigent people who have no money to pay for funeral related
expenses. He referred to a handout comparing Otter Tail County funeral expenses with other
counties. The comparison indicated that Otter Tail County allows higher potential expenses than
other counties. The proposed policy will change Otter Tail County's allowable expenses from six
different options to two options. This change may decrease some of the confusion regarding
allowable burial expenses. Discussion took place regarding the need to provide embalming in certain
circumstances, challenges with winter conditions, alternative policy language change, issue of families
subsidizing County burial funds, and how funeral homes perceive the proposed policy. Mr. Dinsmore
will continue to meet with funeral home directors and return to the Board with proposed changes.
Volunteer Transportation Program
Mr. Dinsmore and Director of Productive Alternatives, Inc., Steve Skauge; reported that PA will
administer the County's Volunteer Transportation program. This collaboration begins incorporating
public transportation in the County to one entity and reduces redundancy. Mr. Dinsmore indicated
that the change is intended to be revenue neutral and PA may be able to leverage additional MnDOT
funding.
Human Services Contracts
Motion by Rogness, second by Lindquist, and unanimously carried to authorize the Chairman's
signature to execute the following Purchase of Service Agreements with Otter Tail County Human
Services. The contract with Productive Alternative, Inc. will add synergy, cut costs, and simplify

DNR Land Acquisition
County Attorney, David Hauser, briefed the Board on continued research regarding the DNR land
acquisition from Dale & Deborah Frost that occurred in 2009. The position of the State DNR is that
the Greniers need to obtain an easement from the seller (Frost family). If the DNR granted an
easement, the Grenier family would need to obtain an additional easement from the Frost's to access
their property. By Statute, the State is prohibited to granting easements except in very specific
circumstances; therefore, the DNR is unable to change the deed. Discussion took place regarding the
agreement of all parties involved at the May 19, 2009, County Board meeting.
