Input on Paul, Little McDonald, and Devils Lake LID Chair Mosher clarified that this was not a public hearing, but a public meeting. Ron Anderson had requested that this be placed on the agenda for County Board consideration. Currently there is no Lake Improvement District. County Attorney, David Hauser, briefed the audience of previous County Board action. The process was started by County Board Resolution and the required Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners' Minutes June 11, 2002 Page 4 public meeting was held. The initial motion was to proceed with the LID as proposed. After the Q public hearing there was a petition for the removal of Devils and Little Devils Lakes. Mr. Hauser had prepared two separate orders; one for a five-lake LID and one for a three-lake LID. The Commissioners adopted the order establishing a three-lake LID. At the subsequent meeting, that motion was rescinded. There was a motion to establish a five-lake LID, that motion failed. Then there was a motion to establish a three-lake LID, which was previously rescinded, that motion failed. No order was adopted; therefore, there is no LID established. There were requests to bring this back before the County Board as to what to do next. Minnesota Statute requires a 30-day period, to help move the process along. It is now outside the 30-day period. Mr. Hauser explained that someone that was opposed to the creation of the LID, if the County Board were to proceed with the LID, could contest this. Bryce Anderson spoke on behalf of the committee. Mr. Anderson stated that the issue is water quality. He requested that the Commissioners adopt the order for establishing the LID without further delay so an annual meeting could be held. Mr. Anderson also requested that the order to establish the LID include Little McDonald, Paul, and Kerbs Lakes, and that Devils Lake could join the LID at a later date. Motion by Nelson, second by Froemming, to follow through with the order that was originally passed at the May 21 st meeting. Discussion continued regarding funding. Mr. Hauser stated that the value of the LID is for funding. Chair Mosher called for a roll call vote, and the following resolution was adopted as follows: THE OTTER TAIL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ORDER ESTABLISHING THE OTTER TAIL COUNTY LITTLE MCDONALD AND PAUL LAKES IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT Otter Tail County Resolution No. 2002 -42 Q Commissioner Nelson offered the following and moved its adoption: The County Board of the County of Otter Tail, having held a public hearing in the VFW in the City of Perham, Minnesota, on the 20th day of April, 2002, having reviewed the request of the Little McDonald, Paul and Devils Lake Property Owners Associations, having considered the comments made at the public hearing, and being fully advised in the premises, makes the following Findings and Order: FINDINGS I.

Dated: & l,.IA\,k,, I % I :kxJ ';r OTTER TAIL COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Attest k~ '1t-LarryKron, Cerk By:~dL-- Dennis Mosher, County Board Chair Ditch No. 53 0 Ditch No. 53 is north of Rush Lake on County Road 114. Ditch Inspector, Randy Wasvick, explained that this is a poor ditch system. It is a tiled system and runs through a township road ditch. It is a mile and three-quarter long and in some spots the tile is 23 feet deep. There are two !o Q Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners' Minutes June 11, 2002 Page 9 bad spots that have blown out holes that are approximately six feet by ten feet and eight feet deep. The township has repaired the system several times and contacted Mr. Wasvick. They cannot afford to keep repairing the system, and have put orange fencing around it to keep people from falling in. Mr. Wasvick contacted Delzer Construction to get an estimate to replace the system. It was estimated at $150,000 to $200,000 to replace. There are only four landowners that would benefit. A redetermination of benefits could be completed. Mr. Wasvick recommended to abandon the ditch and plug the holes. The County Attorney stated that if any property owner in the benefited area were opposed to abandoning the ditch, then it could not be abandoned. Mr. Wasvick will check into this and report back to the County Board in the next couple of weeks. Ditch 43 -Indian Lake Mr. Wasvick reported that a survey had been completed. He explained that a 12-inch pipe could be installed running 300 feet and five feet deep. The pipe would go through a field and into the lake. This would gradually lower the lake. Mr. Wasvick checked with Delzer Construction and the approximate cost would be approximately $9,000. A dam would need to be installed to hold water bringing the cost up to $12,000 or $13,000. There are 29 properties that would be benefiting. A redetermination of benefits would need to be completed. Commissioners requested to schedule a public information meeting. A public meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, June 26, 2002, at 7:00 p.m. in the Commissioners Room. Mr. Wasvick will have a notice published. Request to Change 911 Address Property Owner, Richard Palen, explained that he had received notice on May 28, 2002, that his address had been changed from 48000 County Highway 14 to 36810 47ih Avenue. Mr. Palen contacted the GIS Department to determine why his address was changed. It is policy to assign a street or avenue number when three or more residences use the road. Mr. Palen was concerned that assigning his driveway as an avenue would encourage public usage. He also explained that this is a single lane private pathway and is not wide enough to allow for two meeting vehicles to safely pass. There is no provision to turn around; therefore, people would be turning around in his yard at all hours. Increased traffic would also slow emergency services. Commissioners requested that a GIS Department staff person go back to Mr. Palen's address to check on his concerns. This request will then be addressed at a later County Board of Commissioners meeting. Recess & Reconvene At 12:18 p.m., Chairman Mosher recessed the meeting of the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners for a lunch break.
