Reports and Presentations
A. Director’s Report:
The County tax rebate program will conclude at the end of 2024. To date the Cities of Pelican
Rapids and Ottertail have officially requested to continue the County’s partnership on a local tax
rebate program and New York Mills is considering.
The November Housing Convening was virtually attended by 35 people.
Empowered Worker Program has had 50 referrals, with 30 people active; the first participant
successfully completed his CDL.
Lender Convenings went well.
$650,000,000 was awarded by DEED Community Energy Transition Grant to support
redevelopment of the Westridge Mall Property.
Child Care - the 2024 Child Care Needs Analysis link was included in the packet from First
Children’s Finance.

B. Consideration of Community Growth Partnership Guidelines Modification
Amy Baldwin, CDA Director stated there is a request to consider a modification to the current
Community Growth Partnership Guidelines to include non-profit entities as eligible recipients of
funding. These would be non-profits that act as a for-profit entity. It was noted that local
communities can apply for matching funds through the CDA program to administer their own
program which can have more flexibility in how the funds are used. The Board has directed staff to
review the guidelines and report back.
C. Consideration of Contribution to the West Central Small Business Development Center
Amy Baldwin, CDA Director stated that county businesses are supported with no cost or low cost
services by the West Central Small Business Development Center. She is requesting a $2,500
contribution to the West Central Small Business Development Center. Motion by Dena Johnson,
second by Heidi Samuelson to approve. Motion passed, with Schornack abstaining.

D. Resolution Authorizing Execution of Purchase Agreements for Pine Estates by Executive Directors
Andrew Yaggie, eXp Realty stated that 5 lots are listed in Pelican Rapids. Amy Baldwin, CDA
Director is asking for the Board to consider authorizing the Executive Director to execute Purchase
Agreements, subject to review of the purchase agreement by the Board Chair and Vice Chair. The
Housing Committee has not reviewed this request but it is similar to what has been done by the
HRA in a previous project. Commissioner Ackerson requested that the words be changed from
‘and’ to ‘and/or’ - “Review of the purchase agreement be made by the Board Chair and/or Vice
Chair.” Motion by David Schornack, second by David Ripley to approve. Motion passed
unanimously to include changing the words “and” to “and/or” where applicable.

DATE: January 15, 2025
TO: CDA Board of Directors
FROM: Amy Baldwin, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Director Status Report
Housing Growth Initiative / The Big Build:
Tax rebate program: 104 applications approved in 2024: 17 in Fergus Falls, 5 in Ottertail, 4
in Vergas, 2 in Pelican Rapids, 1 in Dalton, and balance from township areas. Pelican
Rapids and Ottertail have approved local Property Tax Rebate Programs with county’s
participation. More details on overall housing investment will be provided in February as part
of the department’s annual report.
“The Lincoln” apartment project in Battle Lake has started construction and the CDA closed
on the sale of the property in late December.
Workforce Support Strategy / OTC Works:
The Empowered Worker Program has received 65 referrals as of January 13. Active
participants have started CNA training and spring semester classes at M State. The
Workforce Navigator is working on job placements for participants only seeking work, and
the hiring environment slowed down at the end of the year. (See attached monthly report)
December Workforce Convening was attended virtually by 32 people from various employers
and workforce partner organizations. Topics of discussion included transportation resource
sharing, DEED’s Disability Inclusive Business Partner training program, and an update on
the Empowered Worker Program successes.
Quarterly workforce newsletter was distributed to more than 230 recipients with highlights on
the Workforce Convening, updates from M State, OTLCA jobs portal, and child care locator
app: members.ottertaillakescountry.com/ap/EmailViewer/Lv40damp
Child Care:
Child Care Project Managers have renewed contracts for the first part of 2025 to continue
offering technical assistance and executing provider retention strategies including distribution
of child care business bundles. Priority work areas will be revised and the opportunity to
extend their contracts further is possible with additional funding from West Central Initiative.
Business Development:
Facilitated an application to Minnesota Management and Budget to support tax exempt
revenue bond financing for Bongards. The financing is associated with the wastewater
treatment facilities being constructed as part of its expansion and modernization project.

CDA Workforce Committee Update Empowered Worker Program
Date: January 16, 2025 65 referrals received to date
Participants Seeking Employment Only: 22 Participants Seeking Training and Employment: 43 Summary: The Empowered Worker Program has received fifteen additional referrals since we last met, bringing the
total referral county to 65. Of those 45 are currently engaged in the program. Fifteen are either enrolled in a
credential/certification program or planning to enroll.
A question was previously posed regarding the identification of trends in participant exits. Since program
deployment, 20 participants have exited from the Empowered Worker program. Reasons for exits include failing to
respond when scheduling the program intake meeting, failing to provide identification documentation, failing to follow
through with initial navigation, and/or participants stopped responding to correspondence for 90 days.

We have audited the financial statements of Otter Tail County, Minnesota, which includes as Supplementary
Information, the financial statements of the Otter Tail County Community Development Agency (CDA), a discretely
presented component unit of Otter Tail County, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and have issued
our report thereon dated December 27, 2024. Professional standards require that we provide you with information
about our responsibilities under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the
standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller
General of the United States, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We
have communicated such information in our meeting about planning matters on March 18, 2024. Professional
standards also require that we communicate to you the following information related to our audit.
Our Responsibilities Under U.S. Generally Accepted Auditing Standards and Government Auditing Standards
As stated in our engagement letter dated March 18, 2024, our responsibility, as described by professional standards,
is to express opinions about whether the financial statements prepared by management with your oversight are
fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. Our audit of the financial statements does not relieve you or management of your
responsibilities.
As part of our audit, we considered the internal control of the CDA. Such considerations were solely for the purpose
of determining our audit procedures and not to provide any assurance concerning such internal control.
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement, we performed tests of the CDA's compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts,
and grants. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit.
Significant Audit Matters
Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices
Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting
policies used by the CDA are described in Note 7 to Otter Tail County's financial statements. No new accounting
policies were adopted, and the application of existing policies was not changed during 2023. We noted no
transactions entered into by the Agency during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or
consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period.
Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on
management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future event s.
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and

Management Consultations with Other lndependentAccountdnts

principle tothe Agency's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that ·may· _be .
