WHEREAS, MOH currently retains a significant proportion of federal funds for administration Q
and technical assistance to local community health boards,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners
hereby adopts and supports the following principles to be used in advocating for an equitable
Local Public Health Grant formula design:

measurable progress in statewide health outcomes, such as infant mortality, low
birth weight, teen pregnancy, uninsured children, immunization rates, tuberculosis,
diabetes, asthma, and cardiovascular.disease. ·, · 1
_) ·
2. Formula design must reflect Otter Tail County's at risk populat'ions such as poverty,
communities of color, refugees and immigrants, and other cultural groups. ·
. 3. Formula design _ must recognize the spending_ cind eligibility requirements
associated with the sources of the funds that are incorporated into the local public
health grant such as TANF and MCH Block Grant.
4. The formula determined in 2003 is applied for no more than two years at which
time it would be reviewed. _
5. Remaining funds from the Tobacco Endowment be re0allocated \o community
health boards according to the established formula instead of being retained by the
Minnesota Department of Health.
6. Th_e proportion of federal MCH dollars allocated to community health boards should
be increased from 66% to 75%.
Commissioner Froemming seconded the motion,· and upon being put to vote, was Q

' Opposing Passage of Legislation Which

On Tax Levy Increases
Otter:rail County Resolution No. 2003 -22
Commissioner Nelson offered the following and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, Article 5, Sec. 1 Subd. 9 of H.F. 751 as introduced in the 2003 session of the
Minnesota Legislature calls for creation of law which would implement a reverse referendum
procedure on tax levy increases; and,
WHEREAS, this reverse referendum requirement could lead to the eventual dismantling of
local government services to citizens and to diminishing the quality of life of Minnesotans;

WHEREAS, said legislation flies in the face of the principles of representative democracy,
dating back to the days of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison; and,
WHEREAS, the citizens of Minnesota already have an enhanced role through electing local
officials to become knowledgeable and to make informed decisions on behalf of their
constituents, and through extensive citizen involvement on a daily basis; and,
WHEREAS, such a proposal breaks with long-standing historical legislative policy allowing for
local control and local accountability, two of the most appropriate constraints on property
taxes; and,
WHEREAS, the duly elected Commissioners of the respective 87 Minnesota counties
annually construct and prudently adopt an annual budget which· results in· property tax levies
suited to ·the needs of the county; and,
WHEREAS, ample opportunities to influence the annual property tax levy are granted to
citizens through public meetings of budget committees or the full Board of Commissioners as
well as the annual Truth in Taxation process; and'
WHEREAS, such a referendum would create an expensive unfunded mandate of a special
election which tend to have mediocre voter turnouts and, as a result, the outcome of the vote
can be a poor representation of the will of the majority; and,
WHEREAS, County Commissioners stand before their constituents with a willingness to
accept full responsibility for property tax increases that are justified, fiscally prudent, and
serve the best long-term interests of the community even if short-term "political"
considerations might dictate otherwise; and,
WHEREAS, other than raising fees, county governments in Minnesota have only the property
tax levy available to meet the inflationary and population-driven demands of the mandated
and essential services delivered to citizens; and,
WHEREAS, implementation of a local reverse referendum on property tax decisions could
seriously jeopardize and cloud bond ratings and the ability to adequately fund debt service on
existing debt; and,
WHEREAS, the necessary increases in the tax levy do not in and of themselves raise
property taxes, which are affected by numerous other factors including class rate reductions,
limited market value, programmatic aids, and property tax relief determined by the state
legislature:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners
hereby opposes passage of legislation, which would impose a reverse referendum on tax
levy increases .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to Governor Tim
Pawlenty; Senate Majority Leader John Hottinger; Speaker of the House of Representative
Steve Sviggum; Senator Larry Pogemiller, Chair of the Senate Committee on Taxes;

Corrections to March 25, 2003, Minutes:
Motion by Mosher, '· second by . Froemming, . and unanimously ' carried to approve
corrections/clarifications to the March 25, 2003 Board of Commissioners' minutes relative to Q
the Blue Heron Bay EIS Needs agenda topic. The following will replace the language
previously approved: · •
Planning Commission Recommendations -Blue Heron Bay
Chairman Lee requested that Land & Resource Director, Bill Kalar, begin discussion
regarding the recent Planning Commission meeting. Mr. Kalar stated that the Planning
Commission met on March 19, 2003, ·to consider the Environmental Assessment Worksheet
prepared for the proposed development of Blue Heron Bay on Dead Lake. A summary of all
letters received during the comment period was provided and considered. The Planning
Commission looked at additional information as well. Mr. Kalar, read for the record, the
recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding whether or not an Environmental
Impact Statement for the proposed development of Blue Heron Bay is necessary as follows:
"A motion by Schwartz, second by Maske, to recommend a Negative Declaration, since'there
is not a potential for significant environmental impact (see attached Findings of F'act)." This
· recommendation passed on a 7 -3 vote. ·
Chairman Lee stated that the public comment period regarding an EIS for Blue Heron Bay
ended March 5, 2003; however, Chairman Lee opened the floor for additional comments·.
Developer, Jim Erickson, management partner of R.. Murray Partnership, LLP, stated that if
issues arise during this meeting, he is present to respond. The developer expressed pride in
the EAW prepared by the County's staff and confidence in the recommendation of the
Planning Commission. He noted that all of this information will agajn, be in front of the
Planning Commission, during the conditional use permit process. County Attorney, David
:Hauser, asked Mr. Erickson to explain 'the book provided to·the Board entitled "Response to
Public Comments on the·EAW' dated March 19; 2003. Mr. Erickson explained that tab 1 was

a redline version of the proposed findings of fact. In addition, there is information regarding
the bass tournaments held on Dead Lake, letters submitted to the Planning Commission and
the summary of those letters, and a small map to address the issue of the shallow bay with a
proposed slow or "no wake" zone around the peninsula. Mr. Hauser asked about a letter
from Bonnie Swanson regarding archaeological investigation. Mr. Erickson stated that this is
a neighbor with historic knowledge of the peninsula who has been invited onto the property to
point out any area where there may be Indian Mounds.
Attorney, Chuck Krekelberg, representing the Dead Lake Association, expressed concerns
regarding the action of the Planning Commission. He stressed that this is an extremely
fragile area in Otter Tail County with tremendous potential for environmental damage. He
stated that the Dead Lake Association believes that the Planning Commission did not give
enough consideration to numerous concerns expressed regarding the cumulative effect that
could happen from that development because of issues such as depth of the bay,
shallowness of the bay, effect of motors and props stirring up sediment, and archaeological
information. He stated that the Planning Commission erroneously assumed existing
regulations would address environmental concerns caused by this particular project. He
used the "no wake" zone idea as an example. The County doesn't have a "no wake" zone
ordinance and how would that regulation be enforced to prevent environmental damage?
Mr. Krekelberg expressed concern regarding effect and irreversibility -once the damage is
done, no regulation can fix environmental damage. He objected to the manner in which the
EAW was adjusted on the day of the hearing. In summation, Mr. Krekelberg, reiterated that
the County did not have enough information to determine environmental impact and an EIS is
how you obtain that information.
County Attorney, David Hauser, stated that the Environmental Impact Statement shall be
ordered for projects that have potential for significant environmental effects. If a
determination is made that there is insufficient Information, that information can be requested
as part of an EIS or a decision can be postponed for not more than 30 days in order to obtain
the lack of information. The decision shall be either a negative declaration or a positive
declaration. If an EIS is determined to be necessary, the scope of the EIS must be provided.
The record must include comments on the EAW, which was the purpose of the summary of
comments for the Planning Commission. In deciding whether potential for significant
environmental effects exists, the responsible governmental unit shall compare impacts from
the project with the criteria as outlined in the Findings of Fact.
Mr. Hauser then lead the County Board through the Findings of Fact submitted as part of the
minutes of the Planning Commission meeting. The following comments were received:
Section X of the Findings of Fact: "That there are two islands adjacent to the main part of the
development. Although they may support limited development, they are suitable to be part of
the project. The determination as to the number of. units the project can support is subject to
the conditional use permit process."
Spencer Schram, Dead Lake Association Environmental Committee member, objected to
modification of any part of the project and asked that this modification not be allowed or
considered.
Attorney for the developer, Bob Russell, responded that the responsible unit of government
should listen to amendments and should research each finding:
OTC Board of Commissioners' Minutes

Section XII of the Findings of Fact: "The vacation of the township 'road poses no potential for
significant environmental effects .. The construction of any new road would be subject to the
conditional use permitting process." · · ·
Jim Erickson explained that the application to vacate the minimum maintenance road has not
been submitted to the township at this point. The township currently has an easement.-.· .
Section XIII of the Findings of Fact: "The project, is in a shoreland area of a ·natural
environment lake, and the standards for the cluster development will be subject to standards
designed for a natural environment lake."
Commissioner Nelson asked what the standards are for a project in the shoreland.area of a
natural environment lake. Mr. Kalar responded that the minimum requirements for residential
lot/block development are 200' frontage and 80,000 sq. ft. per lot. If backlots are proposed,
then the ordinance requires the numbers to· be doubled. In a cluster development,· in
determining density, you take into account the minimum lot sizes and the usable area of the
property (tiers) On a natural environment lake, the first tier goes back 400'. The maximum
number of units allowable for this property, is 139; however, that number does not need to be
approved. During the CUP process, that number could be approved along with conditions on
how development could occur, where buildings are allowed to be located, etc.
0
Section XIV of the Findings of Fact:· "The project is a large one; however, the parcel is large, Q
suitable for development, and will be subject to the conditional use process·and rules relating
to cluster developments. Some variances are being requested with regard to the height of
barns; the number, size, and location of water oriented accessory structures; and the number
of dock spaces. Approval .would be necessary both through the conditional use process and
the variance process. With the volume of. .information available, appropriate conditions car:1
be imposed to prevent any potential significant environmental effects." . -·
Jim Ericksoh stated that the developers filed 4 variances; however, have now withdrawn one,
will ask the Board of Adjustment to act on the height of the barns, and defer action on the
WOAS and number of docks until a later date.
Section XVIII of the Findings of Fact: ·~Based on the substantial benefits of the proposed
wastewater system, no issues are identified that would result in the potential .for significant
environmental effects. Further, ongoing regulatory authority of the MPCA and the County
mitigates the impacts from the wastewater system. Based on the description of the project,
no issues are identified that have the potential for significant environmental effects."
Discussion took place regarding the proposed septic system. This type of septic system has
not been previously installed under the County's jurisdiction. This system would be
permitted/licensed under the MPCA and the County's regulatory authority would be to ensure
that each unit is hooked up to an appropriate system.
Section XXI of the Findings of Fact: "The additional residential units on the lake will add to Q
boat traffic. At present, it appears there are 28 acres of lake per residential unit. With this
project, there would be 17 acres of lake per residential unit. If all of the shoreline of the lake
!

Page 11
were developed, there would be eight acres of lake per residential unit. The project does not
pose a potential for significant environmental effect to the lake as a whole."
Mr. Krekleberg objected to this finding as an assumption that the project does not pose a
potential for significant environmental effect to the lake as a whole, and ignoring the
shallowness of the lake. Discussion took place regarding the number of boats coming into
the lake from the public access and as part of the fishing tournaments. It was mentioned that
a "no wake" zone was proposed in letters from the DNR. Gary Ruehmann objected to the "no
wake" zone as not enforceable.
Continued Discussion:
Jim Erickson formally requested that the Board look at the developer's proposed findings and
judge the appropriateness of the additional proposals. He stated that the process would be
well served to look at additional proposals. There has been discussion about Dead Lake
being a waterfowling lake and, Mr. Erickson, for the record, stated that waterfowling and the
impact on migrating birds is greatest in October and November, therefore, management
would make every effort to take boats and docks out of the lake before migrating season.
Ernie West stated that Dead Lake Township does not endorse this project as brought to them
and it is premature to assume that the public township road would be abandoned.
Chairman Lee closed comments from the floor at 2:19 p.m. Discussion continued. Leona
Zimmerman, Dick Sha, and Joe Maske of the Planning Commission answered
commissioners' questions regarding cluster developments.
Motion by Nelson, second by Block, to adopt the Findings of Fact as attached to the
March 19, 2003, Planning Commission minutes, except to delete Paragraph XXI. Motion
carried unanimously.
Adjournment
With no further action requested, on April 8, 2003, at 12:20 p.m., Chairman Lee declared the
meeting of the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners adjourned until 9:30 a.m. on
Tuesday, April 15, 2003.
