In order for the County to demonstrate responsible stewardship, it is essential that adequate accounting
procedures and records permit the assignment of responsibility for custody and proper use of specific fixed
(capital) assets to individual public officials, and serve as a prerequisite to preparation of satisfactory and
complete financial reports.
A. GOAL
The establishment and maintenance of a Fixed Asset System is essential to provide management with data
for the physical and dollar value control of assets.
B. MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES
The management objectives of the Fixed (Capital) Asset System are:
1. To assign responsibility for the custody and proper use of specific assets to
individuals, officials or department heads.
2. To substantiate valuations of fixed assets in accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles (GAAP) for fiscal reporting.
3. To control retirements of fixed assets by type of retirement, i.e. sales, trade-ins,
thefts, and items scrapped.
4. To assist in providing depreciation computations for Federal, State, and Proprietary
reporting purposes.
5. To serve as a basis for valuation for insurance purposes and to provide a record of
assets insured.
6. To encourage transfer of surplus equipment to area of need.
7. To aid in budget preparation, analysis, and approval.
GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
A. FIXED ASSET DEFINITION
A fixed asset of Otter Tail County is defined as a specific piece of property, which meets the following
attributes:
1. It is tangible in nature in that the physical substance does not materially change its
form through use.
2. Its expected useful life is greater than one year.
3. It has significant value. In Otter Tail County's financial system, significant value
means that it has a cost of $5,000.00 or more.
4. Included are land, improvements to land, buildings, building improvements, vehicles,
machinery, equipment, works of art, and historical treasures.
B. VALUATION OF FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets should be accounted for at cost, or if cost is not practicably determinable, at estimated cost.
1. Cost: Fixed assets should be recorded at cost or consideration received, whichever
is more objectively determinable. The cost of a capital asset includes not only its
purchase price or construction cost, but also the ancillary charges necessary to place
the asset in its intended location and condition for use. Ancillary charges include
costs such as freight and transportation charges, site preparation expenditures,
professional fees, and legal claims directly attributable to asset acquisition.
2. Estimated Cost: Initial costs of fixed assets usually are readily ascertainable from
contracts, purchase orders and other transaction documents at the time of
OTCo. Board of Commissioners' Minutes
December 27, 2001
Page IO
acquisition or construction. Otter Tail County was faced with the task of establishing
appropriate fixed asset accounting records and valuations after many years of
operation without such records. Therefore, the original documents may not have
been available, or an inordinate expenditure of resources would have been required
to establish original asset cost precisely. It was necessary to estimate the original
cost of such assets on the basis of such documentary evidence as was available.
C. ACQUISITION OF FIXED ASSETS
1. Purchase: A purchase is an acquisition through direct outlay of cash and/or other
consideration for the fixed asset. The book value of an older fixed asset traded in for
a new one does not always affect the basis of the new asset.
2. Construction: Construction includes buildings actually constructed by the County.
The labor, materials, equipment and overhead costs are all part of the construction
cost.
3. Lease-Purchase and Installment Purchase: Lease-Purchase Agreements are
contractual agreements which, in substance, amount to purchase contracts. General
fixed assets acquired via Lease-Purchase Agreements are capitalized in the Fixed
Asset System at the inception of the agreement in the amount of the item if it had
been purchased outright. Multiple year installment contracts are accounted for in the
same manner as Lease Purchase Agreements.
4. Gift: Governments may acquire properties by gift. Donated fixed assets should be
recorded to the fund to which they relate or in the Fixed Asset System, as
appropriate, at the estimated fair value at time of acquisition.
D. TREATMENT OF COSTS SUBSEQUENT TO ACQUISITION
Expenditures on fixed assets which are incurred after their original acquisition are defined and recorded as
follows:
1. Maintenance: Maintenance costs are those which neither materially add to the value
of the property nor appreciable prolong its life, but merely keep it in ordinary, efficient
operating condition. Maintenance costs are not charged to capital accounts, but to
maintenance and repair expenditure accounts.
2. Betterments: Betterments consist of the replacement of a unit of an existing asset by
an improved or superior UNIT, usually resulting in a more productive, efficient, or
longer-lived asset. Significant betterments are considered to be capital asset
additions and are added to the value of the property i.e. shed added to a Landfill
Site. The decision as to whether a betterment has been effected is made by an
evaluation of engineering, physical or other relevant factors apart from cost.
Replacement of a part of an existing asset by another of like quality is not a
betterment, even though the useful life of the asset is maintained or extended.
These costs are charged to expenditure accounts.
E. RETIREMENT
The term retirement is used to describe the removal of a fixed asset from the Fixed Asset System. The
various types of retirement are defined below and must be reported to the Auditor's Office to ensure that
changes are entered in the system.
1. Sale of Fixed Asset: Fixed assets and/or non-expendable supplies, which are to be
sold, are subject to the requirements described in Minnesota State Statute. Items,
which are sold, will be retired from the Fixed Asset System by the Auditor's Office.

Page 11
2. Trade-In: A department head retiring a fixed asset as a trade-in for a new acquisition
will inform the Auditor's Office of the retirement.
3. Lost, Stolen or Damaged Beyond Repair: When a fixed asset is retired from the
fixed asset system through one of these unexpected methods, the incident will be
reported to the appropriate law enforcement personnel (if applicable) and to the
County Coordinator's Office for insurance purposes. The department head must
also notify the Auditor's Office so that changes can be entered into the Fixed Asset
System.
F. TRANSFERS
1.
1. Transfer: When a fixed asset item is transferred to a different department, the department head
who is responsible for the item must inform the Auditor's Office of the change in ownership and
location. The Auditor's Office will enter these changes into the Fixed Asset System.
FIXED ASSET MAINTENANCE
The Auditor's Office will send tci each department head, as possible, no less than annually, a listing of
year to date fixed assets added to the Fixed Asset System for each Department. This should be done
by March for the prior year end and returned by the department to the Auditor's Office within 30 days of
receipt.
a. It will be the Department Head's or designee's, responsibility to reconcile the year to
date Fixed Asset listing for the department he/she is responsible for with the Capital
expenditures shown in the general ledger for the same time period.
b. All new purchase additions, changes, or deletions to the Fixed Asset System are to
be made by notification from the departments to the Auditor's Office.
c. The Auditor's Office will input the information to the Fixed Asset System, and return
the updated list for each year end to the department for reviewing the lists for
accuracy. After reviewing the list the department is to sign the list and return it to the
Auditor's Office.

regarding whether the district should be established.

5. The Directors make their request in order to clarify the District's role and function
and in order to simplify the processes by which the District undertakes to
implement programs and projects.
6. The Board is authorized by Minnesota Statues Section 103B.551 to, by order,
delegate powers to the board of directors of a district to be exercised within the
district.
7. The Board may also delegate to the District, by order identifying each specific
improvement to which the delegation applies, financing authority for improvements
under chapter 429 and section 444.075, including, but not limited to: (1) the levy of
special assessments; (2) the imposition of rates and charges; and (3) the issuance

of bonds to finance improvements that the District may undertake.
The District has undertaken to study the feasibility and public health, economic and
environmental benefit of constructing a joint water and sewer system within the
District.
The District has undertaken its study with approval from the Board and from the
District's constituents, but without a specific delegation of authority from the Board.
Similarly, the District has undertaken other projects and programs with approval
from the Board and from the District's constituents without a specific delegation of
authority from the Board.
The Directors have also asked the Board to clarify or provide a procedure for
adding formerly agricultural land to the District.
The Board's original Order establishing the District excepted from the District
certain agricultural lands otherwise located within the boundaries of the District.
Many of those agricultural lands are no longer in a primary agricultural use and
many more of those lands are in transition to non-agricultural uses.
It is the intent of the Board that all non-agricultural lands within the boundaries of
the District, as described in the Order originally establishing the District, be
included in the District.
The Directors may, by confirming the changed land use with the County Auditor
and Assessor, and by notifying the owner of the lands and the Administrator of the
Otter Tail County Department of Land and Resource Management, add those
lands no longer in agricultural use to the District.
16. The Board adopted a resolution of intent to consider amending the Order
establishing the District on August 14, 2001.
17. The Board finds that an amendment to the order establishing the District,
delegating specific powers and authorities to the District, clarifying the financing
means and authorities of the District, and providing a procedure for the inclusion of
properties within the District that are no longer of primarily agricultural use, would
18.
19.
20.
21.
22.
be beneficial to the efficient function of the District.
The Board published notice of a public hearing on a proposed amendment to the
order establishing the District. The affidavit of publication is attached to and
incorporated into these findings by reference.
The Board provided written notice to Dunn and Scambler Townships, Otter Tail
County, Minnesota, of the proposed amendment to the order establishing the
District and encouraged each to comment on the proposed amendment.
The Board held its public hearing on December 18, 2001, to take public comment
on the proposed amendment to the order establishing the District.
The Board allowed for written comments regarding the proposed amendment to
the order establishing the District to be received and considered by the Board.
After considering the comments of those present at the hearing and the written
comments presented to the Board, the Board finds that the functions and
authorities delegated to the District by the proposed amendment are necessary
and beneficial for the continued improvement of the Pelican Group of Lakes; that
the public welfare will be promoted by the delegation of the functions and
OTCo. Board of Commissioners' Minutes
December 27, 2001
Page 14
authorities contained in the proposed amendment; that property within the District
will benefit from the District's prudent exercise of the functions and authorities
contained in the proposed amendment; and that the delegation of the functions and
authorities contained in the proposed amendment will not cause or contribute to
long-range environmental pollution, but rather, will improve the long-range
environmental and economic condition of the District and the region.
23. The delegation of the functions and authorities contained in the proposed
amendment will benefit the public welfare by enabling residents of the District to
efficiently and effectively plan for, construct and finance projects and programs to
address issues of water quality, related land resources and water surface use.
24. The delegation of the functions and authorities contained in the proposed
amendment will benefit the property values and quality of life within the district by
providing a means of establishing and financing economically and environmentally
beneficial improvements that enhance and maintain the environmental quality of
the Pelican Group of Lakes and the surrounding land areas.
Therefore, the Board makes the following:

parcels, except for all such parcels classified for agricultural use. As the use of
agricultural lands within the 500 foot boundary of the District changes to
non-agricultural use, the District may, by confirming the change of use to the
County Auditor and Assessor, and by notifying the owner of the property and
the Administrator of the Otter Tail County Department of Land and Resource
