of the land (the "Abatement").

and agreements, does not exceed the greater of ten percent (10%) of the net tax capacity of the
County for the taxes payable year to which the abatement applies or $200,000, whichever is
greater. The County may grant other abatements permitted under the Abatement Law after the
date of this resolution, provided that to the extent the total abatements in any year exceed the
Abatement Limit the allocation of the Abatement limit to such other abatements is subordinate to
the Abatement granted by this resolution.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
(LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPPORT)
OUR RESCUE
AND
Otter Tail County Sherifrs Office, Minnesota
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") will govern contributions from the U.S. based non-
governmental organization Our Rescue to Otter Tail County Sheriffs Office ("Receiving LEA")
for the purpose of combatting child exploitation and human trafficking, as well as rescuing victims
of these crimes. This MOU is created to establish a formal relationship of collaboration between
Our Rescue and Receiving LEA. This collaboration wi II include Our Rescue donating to Receiving
LEA the following items:
-Cellebrite Premium with 35 unlocks (1-year). OUR Rescue is contributing $11,600 of
the total cost of $21,922.33, with the Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office covering the
remaining $10,322.33.
Our Rescue is a non-profit organization that exists to protect children from sex trafficking and
sexual exploitation. This mission is best accomplished through collaboration with Law
Enforcement Agencies (LEAs), both in the U.S. and abroad. Our Rescue recognizes that LEAs
have the authority to enforce the laws relating to human trafficking and child exploitation and are
therefore best positioned to conduct investigative and operational activities in this fight. Our
Rescue is committed to empowering domestic and foreign LEAs by providing tools, training and
technology to enhance their abilities to combat child exploitation.
Our Rescue is fully sustained by donors who generously give to help save children from being
victimized by sexual predators and to identify, rescue and heal those who have fallen prey to
human trafficking. Receiving LEA's agreement to receive this support will entail providing Our
Rescue with only information you are legally allowed to provide, to include numbers of any
individuals arrested and/or victims identified during your investigation. Our Rescue does not
require any names or case identifiers, only raw numbers. Furthermore, if forensic analysis of any
devices located leads to the identification of a victim/s, those numbers are requested to facilitate
program evaluation.
These numbers will be used to assure our donors the support provided is being used effectively in
the fight against human trafficking and child exploitation. Additionally, only with your agency's
approval, Our Rescue will utilize your press releases to show donors how their donations resulted
in positive outcomes. Information provided by your agency will not be released without your
agency's consent.
By accepting the Donation, you agree that the Donation will be provided to police units charged
with investigating human trafficking/child exploitation related offenses and will be used for that
purpose. Upon request by Our Rescue, Receiving LEA agrees to provide documentation showing
that the Donation was used for the agreed purpose.
Acceptance of any Our Rescue support shall not create any requirements or obligations by
Receiving LEA except for those specifically stated in the preceding paragraphs.

Hiring Request Form for Vacant/Budgeted Positions
Converting a Budgeted Position
Hiring Request Information
Department: Date of Request:
Human Services 03/25/2025
Title of Position Requested: FTE of Position Requested:
Behavioral/Mental Health Social Worker 1
(embedded in Probation)
Number of Incumbents in Job Class: Number of Vacancies in Job Class:
46 1
Number of Employees in Department: Number of Vacancies in Department:
129 7
Hiring Criteria & Guidelines
Indicate whether or not position is mandated by statute, explain.
We are obligated to provide supervision/monitoring to individuals ordered via court order as per MN Rule 20
subdivision 6. Embedding a social worker in probation aligns with best practice that has been adopted by numerous
other county agencies.
The recommendation is to meet this obligation by converting a vacant Transition Coordinator position within Probation
Department to a Behavioral/Mental Health Social Worker position that will be embedded in Probation.
Estimate costs associated with this position, e.g. salary, benefits, advertising.
The Transition Coordinator position is an A13 position, which is a lower pay range than a Social Worker position.
Probation currently has $70,000 budgeted to allocate to the cost of the converted position. The remainder of the
converted position cost is projected to be covered by Targeted Case Management Billing ($40,000 conservative
minimum estimate).
C41 starting salary: $69,534 + $29,911 benefits and taxes= $99,445. Typical advertising costs for open HS positions.
The position will be a reclassification of an existing position and not an additional/new FTE.
Indicate revenue sources that fund this position, e.g. county, state, federal, private, grant.
Targeted Case Management first, County Levy second.
How is this workload currently being managed, e.g. temporary employees, redistribution, job share?
The position is converting a Probation position to a Social Work position. The work of this position will include: Rule 20
'case management', consulting with and providing expertise related to mental health to the Probation team, and
providing for early identification of mental health needs and referral for those on probation. With an increasing number
of clients, Rule 20 CM is ordered by the court and is a public safety priority that is currently spread over several
workers as opposed to one focused caseload. A dedicated position embedded in probation will create efficiencies,
develop expertise, and prioritize mental health prevention and public safety.
What alternatives have you explored to filling this position?
The alternative is to continue with the current model, which does not provide expertise, efficiency, or comply with our
statutory obligation. Nor does the current model provide for early identification, resource, and referral.
What are the consequences of not filling the position?
Continuation of an inefficient model, lack of early identification of MH needs, and lack of compliance with the
requirements of Rule 20. Inability to move upstream with a preventative approach via collaboration with probation
agents and other public safety partners.

TO: Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners
FROM: Nick Leonard, Deputy Administrator and Doug Cannell, Facilities Operations Manager
DATE: April 2, 2025
SUBJECT: Energy Efficiency Improvements
Background
As directed by the Board, staff have explored opportunities to enhance energy efficiency and
reduce operational costs across the County’s facilities. To implement such strategies in a
thoughtful and strategic manner, staff recommends collecting additional information to ensure that
all energy efficiency improvements are backed by measurable cost savings and payback periods.
Staff have held several meetings with representatives from McKinstry, Otter Tail Power and
Michaels Energy. Staff have also collected feedback from McKinstry clients, including county
commissioners, administrators, facility and finance staff.
Recommendation
Should the Board desire 1) additional data to better understand opportunities to enhance energy
efficiency and reduce operational costs, and 2) specific capital improvement projects with design
and cost estimates for Board consideration, staff recommend proceeding with an Investment
Grade Audit (IGA) by McKinstry. A Directed Engineering Study (DES) Agreement is attached.
This recommendation is based on the following:
• The preliminary assessment (attached) completed by McKinstry contains much of the
data that would be provided in a Retrocommissioning (RCx) Study.
• In addition to optimizing the County’s existing systems for better efficiency and
performance, we know there are several imminent capital improvements that, if
implemented thoughtfully, can result in significant long-term energy savings.
• McKinstry has the staff and expertise to design/engineer, bid and project manage cost

Otter Tail County has a defined mission to “enrich lives, innovate services, and enhance resources” and includes
“fiscal responsibility” and “innovation” among its stated Organizational Values. The County understands that
providing life-enriching services requires functional, welcoming facilities and infrastructure that are reliable,
secure, safe, and comfortable for citizens and employees. Maintaining these key resources as prudently and
efficiently as possible is critical to meeting the County’s values of fiscal responsibility and maintaining a
sustainable budget. County staff has worked diligently to maintain and operate existing facilities, but challenges
within several key systems and opportunities for improvements in efficiency are present across the County.
Through our discussions and investigations, we have learned the County has documented needs including:
• Remaining old and inefficient lighting fixtures and controls, including failing and obsolete systems that
have led to lighting outages in key areas of facilities.
• High utility costs that detract resources from key County programs and services.
• Disconnected or troublesome control systems that result in: spaces that are consistently heated, cooled,
or lit despite sporadic use, shortened equipment life, and difficulty in planning decisions.
• Locations where significant loss of heated, cooled, or dehumidified air occurs.
McKinstry exists to provide comprehensive facility and energy modernization plans and projects to public entities
like Otter Tail County. We are pleased to share this business case analysis (BCA) to help provide certainty and
clarity around existing and future facility decisions and drive toward achieving County results and savings.
This preliminary assessment provides a vendor-agnostic and holistic approach to evaluating and identifying risk,
providing different creative funding streams, recommending updates and upgrades, clarifying the condition of
assets, and providing a roadmap to help the County’s team achieve operational excellence in service delivery
while driving toward efficiency and innovation. The assessment is the first step in the process for the County to
achieve optimally efficient, comfortable, safe, and modern facilities and infrastructure in a comprehensive and
economical manner. McKinstry looks forward to advancing Otter Tail County’s mission together.
Sincerely,
Adam Seidel, Account Executive John Neville, Regional Director – Business Development

Otter Tail County is investigating energy efficiency improvements that help pay for critical infrastructure needs,
such as lighting upgrades, HVAC improvements, county-wide energy saving measures, and more. For example, the
facilities need lighting and controls upgrades as well as retro commissioning services to optimize their building
usage. County facilities are currently well-maintained and some efficient measures have been implemented, but
overall efficiency is below benchmark and more savings are available. The conditions and operations of County
facilities are also very reliant on a small number of highly experienced staff. McKinstry has mapped out a way to
complete projects through an outcome-focused plan utilizing additional energy saving solutions and deeper
efficiencies that achieve operational savings in the County’s budget.

• The envelope of a building is an often-
overlooked area that can have significant
impact on the energy usage of a facility. The
main driver of the additional usage occurs due
to uncontrolled and unintentional flow of
unconditioned outside air through gaps,
cracks, and small openings in the building
envelope.
• Door sweeps and weather stripping on
exterior doors is beginning to fail. This allows
additional air infiltration into the buildings.
• The Courthouse has had issues with rain and
cold air drafting through the windows on the
north side of the building.
• Work with the County to determine the exact
quantity of doors that require sealing as well
as seal up other areas of less known issues.
Install foam to seal roof-wall intersections to
minimize the air infiltration and exfiltration
through this area of the envelope.

• Many times, during construction or over time
as equipment ages, leaks in the ductwork can
occur. On a typical variable air volume (VAV)
air handling unit approximately 10% of the
volume of air can be leaked out of the
ductwork before being delivered to the
intended spaces. This can cause hot or cold
complaints, reduced ventilation, and
inefficiencies in equipment operation.
• Seal ductwork in the VAV systems using an
aerosol mastic to virtually eliminate air
leakage from applicable ductwork. Systems
will save energy as duct static pressures will
be satisfied with less energy input.

• The Courthouse building has rooms and areas
of sporadic occupancy, especially on the third
floor. Some offices, meeting rooms, and
cubical areas do have occupancy, but a
significant amount are not occupied.
Temperature setbacks are helping to minimize
utility consumption, but more can be done.
• Incorporate occupancy-based control in areas
of sporadic occupancy to optimize space
heating and cooling requirements. After
implementation, building automation system
upgrades will improve energy efficiency and
occupant comfort, provide better control, and
reduce utility, operations, and maintenance

• The kitchen hood in the jail kitchen is on 24/7
and pulls in 100% outside air. This creates a
space that is too hot in the summer and too
cold in the winter.
• Install appropriately sized and designed hood
controls to optimize kitchen hood exhaust
levels and install a variable speed motor on
the exhaust fan and integrate speed control in
the makeup air unit.
• Many spaces in the Courthouse are not
utilized on a daily basis, particularly the on
third floor. These areas are still consistently
heated and cooled even if they are not
occupied.
• The South Court Building also has low
occupancy, however, it uses a lot of energy
per square foot based on the utility analysis
due to heating and cooling the building.
• Adjust the heating and cooling of areas that
are not frequently used for when the spaces
are not occupied by using controls and
sensors in different spaces.

• The Government Services Center roof has had
small sections replaced between five and
eight years ago, though still has issues with
leaking. The roof is planning on being
replaced, which would be ideal for including a
new solar PV array.
• Additional investigation with utility
engagement, structure, and overall design is
required.
• Rooftop solar PV is proposed on the rooftops
shown in the image to the right. The solar
array summary below outlines the system
specifications and performance.
• The solar PV system will reduce carbon and GHG emissions, offset consumption of traditional energy
sources with renewable energy, offset electricity costs resulting in lower utility costs over the life of the
system (25+ years) and increase resiliency for Otter Tail County operations.

McKinstry has connections with each of these financing methods to help the County apply/seek the most
attractive rate and recommend various ways to layer this
financing together to pay for the project.
• Tax Exempt Lease Purchase Agreements (TELPA): The
County can leverage attractive upfront funding through
a tax-exempt lease purchase. This is secured by property
being acquired and for the term to not exceed the life of
the equipment. This enables counties to complete more
comprehensive projects without burdening their budget
or bond capacity. McKinstry has developed a process to
“shop” interested finance parties (e.g. BOA, WF, etc.) on
the County’s behalf. This process provides the County
with the most competitive rates available. McKinstry
does not profit off of project financing.
• Bonds: McKinstry can work with County staff and their
Bond Council to review Bond issuance costs vs. other
financing options to determine the most cost-effective options.
• MN Green Bank Program: McKinstry is currently working with the MN Green Bank for the procurement of
Energy/Sustainability Project financing via Federal $’s secured by the State of MN for selected/awarded
Projects.
• Rebates / Incentives: McKinstry has a long history of successfully working with State Utilities and Energy
suppliers for maximum rebates, incentives and utility rate schedule selection for our customers/projects.
• Grants: McKinstry has a long history of successfully working with State/Federal entities for any/all
appropriate grants that might be applicable (EV charging, Solar, Sustainability, etc.) for our
customers/projects.
Businesses and other entities, including counties, that purchase renewables (such as solar, battery back-up
systems and EV charging equipment) can leverage the Investment Tax Credit (ITC) to help pay for the renewable
infrastructure. The ITC provides a minimum of a 30% Direct Pay (to tax exempt entities). There are also additional
incentives with the ITC that includes replacing roofing along with adding solar as well as circumstances that can
increase the value of the ITC by an additional 10-20%, such as the closure of nearby energy plants like Hoot Lake.
McKinstry will help Otter Tail County with the Direct Pay process to reinvest into this solar project.
Financial Disclaimer: McKinstry is not engaged in providing legal, tax, or financial advice. The information provided herein is intended only to
assist you in your decision-making and is broad in scope. Accordingly, before making any final decisions, you should consider obtaining
additional information and advice from your accountant or other financial advisers who are fully aware of your specific circumstances.

commercial customers. The rebate is calculated based on the amount of energy savings and project
economics.
• MN Green Bank Program: McKinstry is currently working with the MN Green Bank (Minnesota Climate
Innovation Finance Authority) for the procurement of Energy / Sustainability Project financing via Federal
$’s secured by the State of MN for selected/awarded Projects.
McKinstry’s energy savings projects are delivered with a guaranteed lump sum
cost and a guaranteed savings. The guaranteed savings are coming from
energy and operational cost optimization, which will create room in the
County’s Utility and Operation & Maintenance budgets for infrastructure
upgrades.
• MN – Uniform Municipal Contracting Law – 471.345: McKinstry is a
leader in the application of “Energy Efficiency Projects” Sub Section
13, which provides for 20-year self-funding projects which follow the

• The State of MN – “Energy Efficiency Projects” Procurement Statue/model has proven to be successful
because of its integrated and collaborative nature. The client contracts with a single entity responsible for
both the design and construction phases of the project, fostering a streamlined communication process
and reducing conflicts between the design and construction teams.
• This model promotes teamwork, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, time savings and innovation as designers
and builders work closely together from project inception to completion, allowing for quicker decision-
making and problem-solving.
• The Statue requirements of the selected Project Partner providing an Energy Savings Guarantee and of
the Project to self-fund within a 20 year period has provided Minnesota public and private entities a

National Public Health Week Proclamation 2025
Whereas, the week of April 7, 2025, is National Public Health Week, and the theme is “It Starts
Here” highlighting the importance of making a difference in our home, community and state;
Whereas, this year is the 30th anniversary of celebrating National Public Health Week, and in the
past 30 years significant strides have been made in public health, including the following public
health successes:
a) smoking rates, which were as high as 25.5% among U.S. adults in 1994, have now fallen to
11.4 % due to comprehensive smoke-free policies, public awareness campaigns, and
taxation of tobacco products;
b) childhood mortality, which was at a rate of 13.8 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1994, has
now fallen to 5.4 deaths per 1,000 live births due to vaccines, better healthcare access and
nutrition;
c) mental health awareness and treatment, with 40% of people with mental health conditions
being untreated in 1994, has progressed with increased awareness, parity laws and
integration into primary care, which have expanded access to mental health services and
reduced treatment gaps.
Whereas, a person’s health status can differ drastically by ZIP code due to differences in the built
environment, environmental quality, access to healthy food, access to education and access to
health care;
Whereas, public health organizations use National Public Health Week to
educate public policymakers, public health professionals and the public on issues that are important
to improving the health of the people;
Whereas, public health professionals help communities prevent, prepare for, withstand and recover
from the impact of a full range of health threats, ranging from infectious disease outbreaks to
natural disaster preparedness; and

OTTER TAIL COUNTY, MINNESOTA
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON A PROPOSAL FOR THE ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS (BONGARDS’ CREAMERIES PROJECT) SERIES 2025 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Board of Commissioners (the “Board”) of Otter Tail County, Minnesota (the “County”) will hold a public hearing on April 8, 2025, beginning at or after 9:30 a.m. at its offices located at 500 West Fir Avenue, Fergus Falls, Minnesota 56537 to consider a plan of finance for the issuance by the County of one or more series of tax-exempt or taxable revenue bonds (the “Bonds”) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.152-469.1655, as amended (the “Act”). The proceeds of the Bonds will be loaned by the County to Bongards’ Creameries (the “Borrower”), a Minnesota corporation, in order to (i) finance the capital costs of the proposed development, acquisition, construction and equipping of solid waste and wastewater treatment facilities, including, but not limited to, rehabilitation
or construction of ponds and the improvement, betterment and rehabilitation of dryers to be located at the Borrower’s cheese plant and waste treatment ponds in Perham, Minnesota and unincorporated Otter Tail County, and (ii) finance any related transaction costs and fund necessary reserves (the “Project”).
Following the public hearing, the Board will consider adopting a resolution approving the issuance of the Bonds. The aggregate face amount of the Bonds proposed to be issued is presently estimated not to
exceed $35,000,000. The Bonds will be a special, limited revenue obligation of the County payable solely from loan payments made by the Borrower to the County pursuant to a loan agreement. The Bonds will not constitute a general or moral obligation of the County, and will not be secured by the taxing powers of the County or any assets or property of the County. A draft copy of the proposed application to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development for approval of the Project, together with all attachments and exhibits thereto, is available for public inspection at the Administration Department of the County at 520 West Fir Avenue, Fergus Falls, MN 56537 (the “County Offices”) during normal business hours.

Section I: BEAD Overview
1. What is BEAD?
The Broadband Equity, and Access Deployment Program (BEAD) is a federal program administered by the National
Telecommunications Informational Administration (NTIA) at the Department of Commerce, and one of the two
broadband programs being administered by our office that came out of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
(IIJA) that was signed into law on November 15, 2021. BEAD provides approximately $42.5 billion for broadband
nationally, and Minnesota was allocated $651,839,368 in total, and will use these funds to build out broadband
infrastructure for fiber, fixed wireless, and satellite. The Office of Broadband Development is Minnesota’s eligible
entity administering the federal BEAD program.
2. How is BEAD different from Minnesota’s previous grant programs?
While BEAD is being administered by the MN Office of Broadband Development (OBD), it is a federal program
designed by the NTIA , and with federal requirements that differ from previous Minnesota grant programs, like
Border-to-Border and Line Extension. Notable differences include:
• Eligibility. NTIA's definition for BEAD Funding eligibility includes fixed wireless delivered over Licensed or
Licensed by Rule spectrum, so locations with that type of fixed wireless will not be eligible for BEAD funding
(unless documented that the service is not available or not at speeds above 100Mbps download and 20Mbps
upload). Locations were eligible for Minnesota state grant funding if they lacked a wired broadband service
delivering speeds of less than 25Mbps download/3Mbps upload (unserved) or having 25/3 but not at or above
100Mbps download/20Mbps upload (underserved).
• Timelines are longer. Generally state grant programs required completion within two years of a fully executed
contract. BEAD allows for four years to complete construction from the date of the fully executed contract.
• Application and compliance. BEAD application and compliance requirements are more extensive than state
grant funding requirements. Providers that have historically participated in past state grant rounds may "sit out"
participation in the federal BEAD program or need greater encouragement to submit an application.
• Prioritization. State grant funding prioritized projects where a community partnered with the provider
(community support, financial support) whereas BEAD is "Internet for All – BEAD funds are to document that all
unserved and underserved locations receive some type of broadband service—fiber, coax, fixed wireless,
satellite—with or without community input on desired technology.
• Purpose. State grant funding was a competitive grant program. BEAD funding is to get some type of broadband
to all unserved and underserved locations.
3. Have Minnesota’s Volume 1 and Volume 2 been approved?
Yes. Minnesota’s Volume 1 was approved by NTIA on May 29th, 2024, and Volume 2 on October 3rd, 2024. Both can
be found on the OBD BEAD webpage under “Volumes 1 & 2”: mn.gov/deed/programs-services/broadband/bead/
4. Has Minnesota’s list of BEAD eligible locations been approved?
Yes. Minnesota’s list of BEAD eligible locations was approved by NTIA on January 17, 2025. The final list is currently
available on the webpage: mn.gov/deed/programs-services/broadband/bead/.
5. How can I stay up to date on BEAD information?
OBD will be sending out information on updates on BEAD with biweekly emails, you can sign up for those here:
mn.gov/deed/programs-services/broadband/contact/.
OBD will also be hosting weekly office hours, January 14-April 15 on Tuesdays at 11am. Visit the OBD BEAD webpage
