SUBJECT: Long Range Transportation Plan
Recommended Actions:
•Adopt resolution approving the updated Otter Tail County Transportation Plan
HIGHWAY 505 South Court Street, Suite 1 Fergus Falls, MN 56537
•Adopt resolution to continue collection of the 0.5% Local Option Transportation Sales Tax to fund
projects identified in the Transportation Plan for 2026 to 2031.
Background Information:
A public hearing was held February 24 to consider approval of the Transportation Plan. No comments were
received specifically related to the plan or the projects included for construction years 2026 to 2031.

county board in 2015 authorized collecting the sales tax to fund those projects. An updated resolution is
needed if the county board wishes to continue collecting the sales tax to help fund the projects identified in
the Transportation Plan.

DEMOGRAPHICS
THE PEOPLE OF OTTER TAIL COUNTY
Understanding the population of Otter Tail County is vital to providing a transportation system
that meets the needs of those who live, work, and play here. The remainder of this section
assesses the historic and projected population trends within the county and its municipalities,
alongside the demographics of the community. Demographics will help guide the county in
understanding where certain transportation needs may be, whether based on geographic
needs (such as housing), or access needs (such as people with disabilities).
Population
As of the 2020 U.S. Census, Otter Tail County was home to 60,081 people. The most rapid growth occurred between 1990 and
2000, with growth since then holding at a relatively consistent pace. City and township growth generally parallel each other in
growth rates, reflecting overall county growth.
Table 1. Population Growth (1980-2020)

County 51,937 50,747 57,159 57,303 60,081
Although overall growth is consistent, there are noticeable growth rate changes in specific
municipalities. As shown in Table 2, Fergus Falls experienced the most growth by number of
residents – an increase of 981 people between 2010 and 2020 (a 7% increase). Perham
gained 527 residents in the past decade (an 18% increase). The City of Wadena grew the
most proportionately, with a 62% increase of 41 residents. Nearly half of Otter Tail County
municipalities experienced population decline (including Clitherall, Vining, Richville, and
Dalton) but overall the county increased its population by 5%.

ROADWAY CATEGORIES
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Figure 2. Functional Classification Organization
A roadway’s functional class defines the function and
hierarchy of the corridor. Organizing roadways by functional
classification helps ensure the system provides mobility,
access, and connectivity. Roadways increase mobility and
decrease access as they move up in functional class.
How are functional classes determined?
Assigning a functional class to a roadway includes several
factors, including:
Type of trips (length, activity centers, continuity)
Access to regional population centers, activity centers, and major traffic generators
Proportional balance of access, ease of approaching or entering a location
Proportional balance of mobility and ability to move without restrictions
Continuity between travel destinations
Relationship with neighboring land uses
Eligibility for state and federal funding ROADWAY CATEGORIES Note: Roadways are also classified by “rural” or “urban”. Urban roadways are those within defined urban areas
with populations over 5,000. Only roadways within the City of Fergus Falls meet this threshold. Roadways within
urban areas are eligible for municipal state aid (MSA) designation, allowing state gas tax remittance.

*Functional classification is tracked in centerline miles
Based on the most recent federal functional classification data, Otter Tail County roadways are
all within Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidelines. Rural roadways (those outside of
the City of Fergus Falls) and Urban roadways (those within the City of Fergus Falls) are
proportionally allocated into Local, Collector, and Arterial classifications.
Maintaining a roadway system within FHWA guidelines is a strong indicator of a county system
that provides access, continuity, and mobility. In partnership with appropriate jurisdiction and
designation, this ensures roads are maintained by the appropriate entity, receive additional
funding, and most importantly serve the community most effectively.

JURISDICTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
Roadway jurisdiction refers to the management of the corridor – typically city, township, county, state, or federal ownership.
Jurisdiction is based on the function of the road as well as who is best suited to maintain it. As we look to understand the existing
transportation system within the county, it is vital to understand who is maintaining, constructing, and financing corridors.
How is jurisdiction determined?
Typically, jurisdiction is determined by traffic volume, regional connectivity, and what area the roadway serves. Corridors that
have high traffic and connect traffic between counties are often maintained by MnDOT, those which have medium traffic and
serve intercounty travel are often maintained by the county, and corridors with low traffic and serve local traffic are maintained by
cities and townships.

SYSTEM PRESERVATION
System preservation within Otter Tail County is a significant undertaking and includes the maintenance of over 4,100 centerline
miles of roadway and 74 bridges. Additionally, the county provides services for several townships and smaller cities. Below are
summaries of the pavement and bridge conditions within Otter Tail County.
MAINTAINING SYSTEM QUALITY
One of Otter Tail County’s primary responsibilities is maintaining the county road network in a state of good condition. Part of this
work includes tracking pavement condition over time and utilizing data to identify future road work. Pavement quality within Otter
Tail County is tested on a regular basis (typically once every two years) by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
and County State Aid Highways (CSAHs) and County Highways are given three scores: the Pavement Quality Index (PQI),
Surface Rating (SR), and Ride Quality Index (RQI):
Ride Quality Index
(RQI)
Surface Rating
(SR)
Pavement Quality Index
(PQI)
The RQI is a measure of pavement “roughness”. It tracks how bumpy a road is through specific sensors that measure the vertical changes in the road and then compares that to set guidelines.
The SR identifies what level of distress the pavement is in.
The PQI is an overall rating that combines both the RQI and SR into a single value.
SYSTEM PRESERVATION
PAGE 17
Pavement Quality Index
The county typically utilizes the Pavement Quality Index (PQI) to assess roadway conditions, as it is an indicator of both ride
quality and surface rating. 2024 data shows a steady increase in pavement improving from “Fair” to “Good”, with a nearly 20%
increase in “Good” pavement from 2016. Overall, pavement quality continues to improve over time within the county.
It is important to note that technology to measure pavement quality has changed, as has MnDOT’s frequency and methodology.
Prior to 2018, MnDOT completed pavement testing every two years, but only tested approximately 20 percent of the system. Post
2018, MnDOT now assesses 100% of the county system, but at an extended schedule of every four years. The data below
reflects this change in methodology and frequency and the years following 2018 are best used for relative comparison.

Pavement Age
Figure 6. Pavement Age
In addition to monitoring pavement condition, the county
tracks County Highway and CSAH pavement age to
understand where future needs may exist as well as the
impact of various maintenance strategies. As mentioned
in the System Preservation Maintenance section, best
practice is to overlay roadways every twenty years. Otter
Tail County has typically completed this work every thirty
years due to budget. Currently, over one third of the
county’s system is over 30 years old and likely needs
preservation or maintenance attention.
Shoulder Widths and 10-Ton Routes
Shoulder Widths 10-Ton Routes
The weight limits and shoulder widths along Otter Tail County
roads impact the ability to move commerce and provide pedestrian/bicycle space on shoulders. In 2015 (at the time of the last Otter Tail County Transportation Plan), most roadways had
shoulder widths of less than two feet. In 2024, that number has significantly decreased, with a nearly 40% increase in the amount of roadways with a three to four foot shoulder. This increase in wider shoulders provides more space for pedestrian and bicycle use, improves safety for vehicles, and improves maintenance efficiency.
Ensuring freight can move efficiently and safely
throughout the county is a high priority, both for traffic safety and economic development implications. The roadway system is rated by it’s ability to carry traffic in
tons (2,000 pounds), with the 10-ton network being classified as a standard for effective freight travel. Most of the network is unrated, or with weight limits less than 4 tons. About 10 percent is rated for 10-tons and is considered part of the “10-ton network” as shown on Figure 7.

Figure 10. Best-Practice Maintenance Lifecycle
This maintenance schedule is considered the “typical industry practice” and has been shown to extend pavement life most
efficiently. Otter Tail County follows this maintenance schedule as much as possible, altering based on project need, budget,
funding, and a variety of other transportation factors.
Project Selection
Otter Tail County contracts for overlay and mill and overlay work annually, and facilitates sealcoating every two years to maintain
pavement in good repair. Maintenance projects are selected utilizing the following factors:
Condition Traffic Volume Freight generators Spring weight restrictions Geometric deficiencies Crashes Pavement age

TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Understanding traffic patterns and volumes is key to identifying areas of issue and opportunity. This is done through analyzing
Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) provided by MnDOT as well as an assessment of congestion by comparing volumes to set
thresholds for each corridor by number of lanes.
AVERAGE ANNUAL DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT)
Traffic within the county is based on the Average Annual Daily Traffic, also referred to as AADT. This value is a combination of
specific traffic counts, day and time variations, and seasonal fluctuations. In 2024, the highest volume roadways within the county
(including those not operated by Otter Tail County, such as MnDOT) include Interstate 94, US Highway 10, US Highway 59,
Metro State Aid Streets (MSAS) 110, 109, 105, and 104, CSAH 1, and MN 34.
HEAVY CAPACITY AVERAGE ANNUAL DAILY TRAFFIC (HCAADT)
Freight movement within the county is vital to economic development and employment. The highest freight traffic volumes occur
on state roadways within the county (such as I-94), with dispersed traffic along county and local roadways. Figure 12 details
current freight traffic.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES
PAGE 24
CAPACITY
To identify roadways that are reaching or over capacity, the county
conducts a Capacity Threshold analysis. This compares a set of
planning level capacity thresholds – the amount of traffic each type
of roadway can handle – to actual roadway counts from MnDOT.
By dividing the actual volume (V) by the capacity threshold (C), a
Volume to Capacity (V/C) value is produced. Roadways with a V/C
above 0.85 are identified as “Approaching Capacity”, and those
with a V/C above 1.0 are “Exceeding Capacity”.

Areas of Congestion
Based on the planning level capacity thresholds, very few roads within Otter Tail County experience congestion. Five roadways
have a V/C over 0.85, all within Fergus Falls. These roads, and their V/C values, are shown below and on Figure 13.
Table 7. Areas of Congestion

SAFETY
Safety is one of the county’s top priorities and is strongly related to transportation planning and investment decisions. The county
utilizes crash data compiled by MnDOT to assess frequency of crashes, crash severity, manner of collision, and modes involved
(pedestrians, bicyclists, etc.).
CRASH FREQUENCY BY YEAR
Crash frequency is assessed by total crashes within the county on all roadway types (local, county, state, and federal), and by
those on county-maintained facilities (County Highways and CSAHs).
Total Crashes Within Otter Tail County
Crash totals by year fluctuate, with the highest reported crashes in one year occurring in 2022 with 730 crashes. 2023 has one of
the lowest yearly crash totals at 573 occurring. Generally, crashes by year vary between 530 and 730 with an average of 634
crashes per year over the last decade. Crashes are trending generally down – as shown below in the blue dashed line.
Crashes on County Highways and CSAHs
Crashes on county roadways have been slightly increasing over the past five years (shown below in the orange dashed line), with
a peak of 181 crashes in 2022. This decreased significantly by 2023, with a 26% reduction in crashes.

CRASH TYPES
Crash Severity
The county uses data provided by MnDOT, which categorizes crashes into five categories: Property Damage Only, Possible
Injury, Minor Injury, Serious Injury, and Fatal. Based on data from the last five years (2019-2023), 3,074 crashes have occurred
within Otter Tail County (on all roadway types). Most of these crashes were property damage only (72%), followed by
possible injury (12%), and minor injury (11%). A small proportion of county crashes resulted in serious injury (4%) or fatalities
(1%). Figure 16 shows these crashes based on crash type.

Crash rates by severity fluctuate, but nearly all crash types have shown a
downward trend for 2023. Fatalities reduced dramatically, from 9 crashes in
2022 to only 2 in 2023. Minor injury and possible injury crashes decreased
slightly from the previous year, and property damage only crashes decreased
by nearly 60 incidents in one year.

Manner of Collision
Crashes are also categorized by “manner of collision” which describes how the involved vehicles interacted. Manner of collision
types include Angle, Head On, Left Turn, Rear End, Sideswipe (Opposing and Same Direction), Single Vehicle (Run Off Road
and Other), Pedestrian, Bike, and Other. Nearly half of crashes (49%) that occurred within the county in the last five years were
Single Vehicle (Run Off Road or Other), with the next highest crash type being Angle crashes at 17%.

HOT SPOT ANALYSIS
To identify areas with high crash rates and safety concerns, a crash hot spot analysis was
completed by the county. This analysis utilizes mapping software to visually represent areas
where many crashes are occurring. For this analysis, accidents that are identified as “Fatal” or
“Serious Injury” were given twice the weight of other crash types, therefore showing as more
of a “hot spot” in the resulting map.
As shown in the image to the left, the results of the analysis show that Fergus Falls is where
most crashes (both by frequency and severity) occur. Within city boundaries, crashes most
often occur at the following locations:
- West Lincoln Avenue & North Union Avenue
- West Summit Avenue & North Union Avenue
- West Cavour Avenue & North Union Avenue
- North Broadway & West Lincoln Avenue
- West Lincoln Avenue & Western Avenue

MULTIMODAL
Otter Tail County is committed to supporting multimodal networks, including infrastructure for those who walk, roll, bike, or utilize
transit. Most of this infrastructure is provided by municipalities within the county, non-profit groups, or transportation providers.
TRAILS & SIDEWALKS
Otter Tail County is primarily served by local trails, provided by individual municipalities and supported by the county. The Central
Lakes State Trail, owned by MnDOT, provides regional trail connectivity throughout the county. Primary county trails include:

TRANSIT
Transit within Otter Tail County is operated by Otter Express. Otter Express offers on-demand, door-to-
door service to the public, supporting adults, youth, and people with disabilities.
The Otter Express
The Otter Express provides transit service in Otter Tail County, where fixed route services are not feasible. They provide pick-up
and drop-off in Fergus Falls, Perham, and Breckenridge with specific days of service expanding to Barnesville, Battle Lake, and
Pelican Rapids. Trips are scheduled in advance, with fares based on distance of travel.
This service is critical in supporting access to employment, medical
services, shopping, and community activities for Otter Tail residents
who do not drive or have limited transportation options. As Otter
Tail County’s population ages and travel needs become more
diverse, demand-response transit services like Otter Express will
remain a key component of the county’s multimodal transportation
system, particularly for serving rural communities and special
populations.
Preschool Transportation
Otter Express offers transportation for preschool children (at least 4 years old) on their vehicles. These trips are offered on the
regular bus service and is shared with other passengers needing transportation.
ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Additional transportation services are provided by local businesses, veterans services, and rideshare organizations. Local
businesses include private cab companies that offer on-demand services. The Veterans Transportation Program (VTP) offers
veterans travel assistance to and from VA health care facilities and authorized non-VA health care appointments. Rideshare
companies, such as Uber and Lyft, are available based on provider supply.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT INTRODUCTION
Community engagement and input was fundamental in developing the transportation plan. As we engaged with Otter Tail County
community, residents, and stakeholders, we strived to accomplish three primary goals: understanding, participation, and develop
relationships.
GOALS
Goal 1: Ensure the community understands the Otter Tail County Transportation Plan
Throughout the plan development process, we will provide a variety of opportunities to review draft documents, provide input,
and ask questions. This includes providing materials in-person and online, ensuring input opportunities are accessible, and
facilitating opportunities to connect with project staff in several formats.
Goal 2: Provide meaningful opportunities for the community to participate in the plan
As we facilitate engagement within Otter Tail County, we want to make sure these opportunities gather meaningful input and
are accessible to all. Accessible engagement may include
• Providing materials physically and virtually
• Translation of materials upon request
• Interpretation services during presentations upon request
• Providing multiple formats of engagement
o These can include anonymous response, small/large group discussion, passive engagement activities such as
notes on boards, active engagement activities such as discussion with project staff
• Direct outreach to underserved or underrepresented communities
Goal 3: Develop the relationship between Otter Tail County staff and the community
Following engagement for the Otter Tail County Transportation Plan, we want the community to feel their input was meaningful,
impacted the final plan, and fostered their relationship with Otter Tail County. INTRODUCTION
PAGE 40
APPROACH
Community engagement occurred in three phases for the transportation plan. The Public Involvement Plan (PIP) was updated
and edited as the plan progressed to better respond to the community.
Phase 1: Understand Otter Tail County transportation today
This first phase of engagement focused on understanding how the county transportation network is serving the community today.
We gathered feedback on where existing concerns and opportunities exist for all modes. In addition, we gathered input regarding
the vision, goals, and objectives for the transportation system.
Phase 2: Envision Otter Tail County transportation tomorrow
In the second phase of engagement, we reported out regarding the future transportation system analysis and defined
implantation plan based on phase one input. This included the policies, processes, and tools recommended for managing the
system into the future. This acted as a confirmation point for the community to gauge the direction or trajectory of the Plan.
Phase 3: Share the vision for Otter Tail County transportation
The third and final phase of engagement focused on sharing the draft plan with the Otter Tail County community. The draft plan
was shared on the plan website, promoted via county and city social media, through traditional media sources, and to those we
connected with during plan development.
STRATEGIES
Collaboration with the community occurred utilizing five key strategies:

Phase 2: Envision Otter Tail County transportation tomorrow
The second phase of engagement for the 2050 Otter Tail County Transportation Plan occurred in Summer and Fall of 2025. In
Phase 1, we heard that open houses were not an ideal format for all, and we responded by implementing pop-ups in Phase 2.
We utilized three primary activities to engage with the community:
Pop-Ups (2)
Date(s): June 13, 2025 Location: Shoreline Café and SummerFest Attendees: 75
What did we hear?
• Overall confirmation of the draft vision and goals of the plan (focus on safety, pavement condition, and multimodal network)
• Split preferences between low-quality paved compared to high-quality gravel
• Future projects need to include engagement
• Projects should consider seasonal changes in population and needs
Online Survey
Open throughout project Responses: 17
What did we hear?
• Nearly all confirmed that safety and pavement condition should be primary goals of this plan
• About 75& “strongly agreed” that multimodal access should be a primary goal of the plan, with 25% selecting “somewhat agree”
• Maintenance is (and should continue to be) a priority and considered in future projects
• Multimodal safety should be improved
• If needing to choose between a low-quality paved road or a high-quality gravel road, half of respondents prefer high-quality gravel, 30% prefer low-quality paved, and remaining have no preference
• On paved roads, potholes, ride quality, visible cracking, and unpaved shoulders most impact perception of quality

FUTURE FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION
As Otter Tail County changes over time, so do the functions, connections, and efficiency of roadways. To address these changes,
the county analyzes the existing functional classification system (in Chapter 1) and then assesses where changes could help the
system operate better. As discussed earlier in this plan, functional classification includes several factors, including:
GOALS OF FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CHANGES
When changes are made to a roadway’s functional classification, it is to ensure the road has appropriate access and design.
These changes create a more comprehensive roadway network that accurately reflect the county as it operates today.
CRITERIA FOR FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CHANGES
The county created a list of functional classification change criteria through collaboration with relevant partners and guidance
from state and local agencies. The criteria listed below were drafted based on community input, conversations with cities, best
practices from MnDOT and technical advisors, and federal guidance on functional classification requirements. The criteria
included:
- Roadways identified as County State Aid Highways (CSAHs) should be minor or major collectors
- Generally, roadways identified as County Highways should be minor collectors
- Maintain functional classifications within the FHWA recommended percentages
- Generally, higher volume roadways should be classified as a higher functional classification.
To complete the analysis, the team carried forward relevant recommendations from the 2015 OTC Transportation Plan,
conducted an analysis based on the above criteria, and then confirmed changes with county and city staff. Recommended
changes are shown on the pages, also including the updated FHWA percentages.
Type of trips (length, activity centers, continuity) Continuity between travel destinations
Access to regional population centers, activity centers, and major traffic generators Relationship with neighboring land uses
Proportional balance of access, ease of approaching or entering a location Eligibility for state and federal funding
Proportional balance of mobility and ability to move without restrictions FUTURE FUNCTIONAL CLASS >

RECOMMENDED FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION CHANGES
The analysis resulted in approximately 33 miles of roadway recommended for new functional classifications. Most of these focus
on upgrading local roadways to minor collectors based on their classification as a CSAH or increased volumes. There were also
some upgrades of Minor Collectors to Major Collectors to address continuity gaps in the county system – upgrading these
created a more connected system of Major Collector roadways. The table below is a summary of the recommended changes.

Minor Collector 1.27 miles 0 miles 5.73 miles Minor Collector +31.70
Major Collector 0 miles 4.39 miles 0 miles Major Collector +1.34
As part of this analysis, the county needed to ensure that total mileages fell near FHWA guidelines. Based on the updated
recommendations, the county system will remain complaint (either within or very near guidelines) in both rural and urban areas.

FUTURE JURISDICTION
Jurisdiction of roadways identifies who maintains, leads projects, and finances each road. Within Otter Tail County, roadways
have federal, state, county, township, or city ownership. As discussed in Section 1, there are a variety of factors that help guide
appropriate jurisdiction:
GOALS OF JURISDICTION CHANGES
Changing the ownership of a roadway is recommended when a new jurisdiction could better finance or maintain a roadway, and
to improve overall connectivity of each owner’s system. This plan focuses on jurisdiction shifts between the county, township, and
cities to ensure efficient maintenance, further improve the connectivity of the county system (both CSAH and County Highway),
and maintain CSAH mileage.
Recommended Future Jurisdiction* Total Changes
County City/Township Class Mileage
Existing Jurisdiction
County - 32.3 miles County -23.5
City/Township 8.8 miles - City/Township +23.5
*Detailed jurisdiction recommendations are available upon request
Otter Tail County does not want to put undue burden on the cities and townships within its boundaries and therefore took a
balanced approach to recommended jurisdictional transfers. When possible, townships/cities that have recommended turnbacks
(taking roads from the county and therefore increasing the township/city mileage) also have recommended turnups (giving roads
to the county and therefore reducing the township/city mileage). However, there are not always roadways that make sense for the
county to take ownership of – they may be low volume, unpaved, or not connected to the larger county system. In these cases,
the county recommends creating Maintenance Agreements to help ease township/city burden.
Traffic volumes (both personal vehicle and freight traffic): Higher volumes are typically owned by federal, state, and
county
Regional connectivity: Generally, the larger area connected by the roadway, the higher the jurisdiction
Service area: Larger service areas are generally owned by higher jurisdictions, with locally operating roadways served by townships and cities FUTURE JURISDICTION >
>
>
PAGE 56
FUTURE DESIGNATION
Roadway designation is a further classification beyond jurisdiction, determining roadway funding. For county owned roads,
designation is either a County State Aid Highway (CSAH) or County Highway. CSAH roadways are eligible for additional state
and federal funding, with a set amount of mileage for CSAH designation.
GOALS OF DESIGNATION CHANGES
In the county system, designation changes occur between CSAH and County Highway roadways. These changes are
recommended to ensure each system has general connectivity, that designations are aligned with jurisdiction and functional
classification (both existing and recommended changes), and funding is best optimized for the county system.
CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION CHANGES
To identify changes in designation, the following guidelines were utilized:
- Recommended jurisdiction change (if roadways were added or removed from the county system)
- Recommended functional classification changes (CSAH and County Highways should generally be Minor Collector or
above)
- Low traffic volumes
- Increase county maintenance efficiency
- Utilize available funding sources
To complete the analysis, the team carried forward relevant recommendations from the 2015 OTC Transportation Plan,
conducted an analysis based on the above criteria, and then confirmed changes with county and city staff.
Recommended Future Designation* Total Changes

TRAFFIC FORECASTS
To understand future needs of the Otter Tail County roadway system, we need to understand how and where traffic volumes are
likely to change. This involves an analysis that examines historical traffic patterns, planned work by the county, expected
community growth, and impacts of larger events that shift patterns such as COVID-19.
METHODOLOGY
To estimate future traffic volumes on the roadway system, we followed the methodology below:
1. Compile historic traffic data: Traffic volumes from the last 30 years were pulled for each road (when available) – for state
and county roadways.
2. Examine growth patterns: We examined several different growth strategies to identify the most appropriate forecasts.
These include:
a. Linear growth model: Using trends found in historical traffic data, linear growth models were produced at 1%,
1.5%, and 2%.
b. COVID-19 exclusion: Trends were assessed excluding traffic data from 2020 and 2021 which were strongly
impacted due to travel disruptions due to COVID-19.
c. Growth by roadway type: Roadways were separated into their functional classifications and analyzed for distinct
trends.
SELECTED APPROACH
By applying each approach to historic traffic data, we selected the best fit based on how accurately it predicted actual traffic
volumes. The final approach was a combination of a 1% linear growth model and COVID-19 exclusion models. The
chosen volume forecast method utilized the 1% growth rate for all roadways, and selectively excluded counts from 2020 and
2021 if it significantly increased traffic volumes. To identify roadways for COVID-19 exclusion, those with traffic counts in 2020 or
2021 higher or lower than 15% of any previous count were flagged.
Traffic forecasts are shown on the following pages, with detailed maps showing each quadrant of the county.
Note: Roadways in Otter Tail County experience strong fluctuations based on time of year – both from
agricultural traffic and increases in tourism. MnDOT incorporates this fluctuation by using a “Seasonal Average
Daily Traffic Adjustment Factor”. The initial count values used include this adjustment factor and results in
forecasts that are representative of an “annualized average” daily traffic count. TRAFFIC FORECASTS

FUTURE CONGESTION
A volume to capacity (V/C) analysis was completed for future traffic volumes within Otter Tail County. The same methodology
from the Existing Conditions V/C analysis was utilized, which is summarized below:
- For each roadway identify number of lanes, divided or
undivided, and urban or rural
- Select planning-level capacity thresholds for each
roadway type
- Compare the estimated future traffic volume (V) to the
capacity threshold (C) to produce a Volume to
Capacity V/C value.
For future roadway congestion, planning-level capacity thresholds were maintained from 2025 analysis.

SAFETY
Safety is the top priority for Otter Tail County and will remain in upcoming decades. As
part of this plan, the county conducted a safety analysis to understand where safety
issues may arise. This analysis included recommendations from the Otter Tail County -
County Roadway Safety Plan and an internal assessment.
COUNTY ROADWAY SAFETY PLAN
The Minnesota Department of Transportation completes county roadway safety plans
to align with the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and Towards Zero Deaths
(TZD) programs. This plan focuses on reducing severe crashes or those involved in
fatalities and serious injuries. Otter Tail County’s Safety Plan was updated in 2021.
Outcomes of the Plan
Following county engagement, data analysis, and review, MnDOT provided a set of
recommended safety improvements for county implementation. These include:
- Safety focus areas
- High-priority, low-cost strategies
- At-risk locations that are candidates for highway safety funds
- Recommended safety projects (totaling $23.1 million)
Key analysis takeaways from this plan included most severe crashes (93%) occur on rural roadways, lane departure crashes
occur most often on curves (77%), and right-angle crashes occur at rural intersections. Based on this analysis, a set of project
recommendations were made – focusing on six key areas:
1. Rural Segments: 146 segments identified as high priority
2. Rural Curves: 383 curves designated as high priority
3. Rural Intersections: 78 intersections designated as high priority
4. Urban Segments: 5 segments identified as high priority
5. Urban Intersections (Vehicle Related): 1 intersection identified as high priority
6. Urban Intersections (Pedestrian/Bike Related): 1 intersection identified as high priority

SAFETY ANALYSIS
The existing condition safety analysis in Section 1 of this plan outlined where current safety issues exist. This primarily focused
on crash hot spot analyses, identifying where crashes occur most often throughout the county. The top locations were within
Fergus Falls, and included:
- West Lincoln Avenue & North Union Avenue
- West Summit Avenue & North Union Avenue
- West Cavour Avenue & North Union Avenue
- North Broadway & West Lincoln Avenue
- West Lincoln Avenue & Western Avenue
Note: County-owned roadways are shown in bold.
1. Tower Road & West Lincoln Avenue: 20 crashes occurred at the intersection of Tower Road & West Lincoln Avenue
between 2019 and 2023. Most of these occurred in clear conditions during the day at the stoplight-controlled intersection.
2. Fir Avenue & North Broadway: 5 crashes between 2019-2023, 4 of which were front to rear crashes.
3. Fir Avenue & Union Ave (west location): 9 crashes, mostly property damage only, and all front to rear occurrences.
4. Fir Avenue & Union Ave (east location): 9 crashes, with one minor injury and 2 possible injuries. Mostly angle and front to
rear crashes.
5. Fir Avenue & North Park Street: 4 crashes, with one minor injury.
6. Fir Avenue & North Cleveland Avenue: 4 crashes with one possible injury.
Figure 25. City of Fergus Falls: Crashes occurring on county-owned roadways SAFETY These safety issue locations are along city and township roadways, which the county does not have jurisdiction
over. To understand where county projects could be prioritized based on safety, the same analysis was
completed for county-owned roadways only. This analysis resulted in a list of priority safety improvements.

When comparing crash density of Fergus Falls to the rest of the county, crash density is greatly impacted by the high traffic
volumes within the City of Fergus Falls. In order to identify safety concerns throughout the rest of the county (with lower
volumes), the same analysis was completed excluding crashes within the City of Fergus Falls. This analysis identified potential
safety improvements in the following areas:
- CH 27 & CH 10 (on border of Elizabeth & Fergus Falls Townships): 6 crashes between 2019-2023, with one serious
injury, one minor injury, and two possible injuries.
- CH 8 & NE 4th Street (Perham): 2 minor injury crashes, one involving a pedestrian.
- CH 1 between Oak Ridge Beach Road and Long Lake Road (Amor Township): 8 crashes along this corridor, three with
serious injuries, two minor injuries.

MULTIMODAL SYSTEM
TRAILS
The County established the Otter
Tail County-Wide Trail Master Plan
in 2017, which outlines the future
vision of trails in the area. Future
trails identified in this plan include:
- Extension of Lake
Wobegon State Trail
(extend from St. Joseph to
St. Cloud): This is external
to the county, but can
provide a larger trail network
originating in Otter Tail
County
- Extension of Heartland
State Trail (extend to
Frazee): Opportunity for trail
connection from the county
The Master Plan also identified
areas of interest for pedestrians and
bicyclists, which the county will need
to consider as it prioritizes multimodal
projects in upcoming decades. The
Master Plan utilized a data-driven approach to identify “destinations”, which included:
- Places of work
- Schools and libraries
- Existing trails MULTIMODAL SYSTEM Trail map from the County Trail Master Plan (2017)

FREIGHT SYSTEM
Freight is a vital component of economic development in Otter Tail County, and has specific transportation needs and impacts.
Freight vehicles often require larger turning radii, wider shoulders, longer acceleration/deceleration lanes, and stopping time.
Freight travel on the county system often has more direct impacts on
pavement quality and increases maintenance needs of the county.
MNDOT DISTRICT 4 FREIGHT PLAN
The Minnesota Department of Transportation developed the District 4
Freight Plan in March of 2022. This plan provides an understanding
of the area’s multimodal freight system, and the freight needs and
issues of the region. District 4 includes Otter Tail County, as well as
11 additional counties in the area. The overall vision of the Minnesota
Statewide Freight System (of which the District 4 Freight Plan is a
part) is to “provide an integrated system of freight transportation in
Minnesota […] that offers safe, reliable, and competitive access to
statewide, national, and international markets”.
Key takeaways from the freight plan’s existing freight conditions
analysis include:
• Otter Tail County is a vital contributor to agricultural and
manufacturing trade
• Most of the region’s key airports are within Otter Tail County
• Most freight that travels within the region are cereal grains,
animal feed, gravel, non-metal mineral products, and live
animals (Important to note that the FHWA estimates cereal
grains to increase by 12% and animal feeds to increase by
94% by 2050)
• Nearly 25% of freight traffic begins in four locations, two of
which are in the county: The I-94/US 59 interchange in

MINNESOTA STATE FREIGHT PLAN
The Minnesota State Freight Plan was adopted in 2024, and envisions
the future of Minnesota freight transportation over the next 20 years.
The forecasts and recommendations provided in this plan can help
Otter Tail County prioritize needs and address freight concerns. The
plan’s five major goal areas are: Freight system stewardship, improving
freight safety, connecting Minnesotans and businesses, safeguard
Minnesota’s health and environment, and support Minnesota’s
economy.
Freight Forecasts
Based on an extensive forecasting model, MnDOT estimates that truck
tonnage will significantly increase by 2050 (from 443 million tons to 657
million tons). The plan outlines a variety of potential issues, those listed
below could impact freight traffic within Otter Tail County:
- Freight modal balance: Most freight moved on Minnesota’s
freight system is moved by truck, and volumes will continue to
increase through 2050.
- Truck parking challenges: Over half of drivers park in
unauthorized or undesignated spots more than half the
workweek – this includes highway shoulders and highway
ramps. This could lead to safety concerns if along county-
owned roadways.
- Aging population: Overall aging in the population will likely lead to driver shortages, specifically in the freight workforce.
- Seasonality: Spring load restrictions will continue to restrict freight travel along county roadways.
NEXT STEPS
The county will continue to identify grant opportunities to address identified freight needs. More information on projects and
funding are available in the Implementation Section.FREIGHT SYSTEM Statewide Freight Needs

PRESERVATION & TIERED SYSTEM
Otter Tail County maintains a tiered roadway system to address pavement preservation needs. This tiered system organizes all
county-owned roadways into a tier based on traffic volume and freight access. Each tier is then assigned an average pavement
quality index (PQI) goal, and guidance on maintenance frequency/timing. Higher tiers receive more frequent maintenance and
higher PQI needs to be maintained.
EVOLUTION OF TIERED SYSTEM
2015
The initial tiered system was introduced in the 2015 Otter Tail County Transportation Plan, and included Bronze, Silver,
Gold, and Platinum tiers. This tiered approach was innovative, and the county estimated PQI goals and maintenance timing
knowing they may need to be adjusted to reflect realistic goals.
2017-2023
Between 2017 and 2023, tier performance was reviewed at each plan update. Financial modeling was completed to
understand the county’s ability to maintain pace with necessary improvements to meet PQI goals. PQI goals were not met, and
the possibility of reverting some paved roads to gravel was considered.
2026
By analyzing data and trends from the past decade, this plan updates the tiered system to align with practical funding
availability. Using this data, the county found PQI goals for each tier are too high to be maintained with current funding and
actual pavement deterioration. County staff, elected officials, technical experts, and community input was combined to introduce
the following tier changes for 2026:
• Remove Platinum Tier: Moving all “Platinum” roadways to the “Gold” tier significantly reduced needed funding while
preserving high-quality roadways
• Adjust Gold PQI goal from 75 to 70: Maintains high-quality pavement on “Gold” roads while remaining feasible
• Adjust Silver PQI goal from 70 to 60: Ensures future funding can maintain the goal while continuing regular maintenance
• Adjust Bronze PQI goal from 60 to 50: Shifts funding from low volume roadways to those with higher volumes
These changes maintain all county roadways as paved roads, with none shifting to gravel.PRESERVATION & TIERED SYSTEM

INTRODUCTION
An implementation plan is key to meeting the established
vision, goals, and objectives of this plan. The following pages
detail the forecasted financial operations of the transportation
system, the anticipated projects to be completed over the
next five years, and next steps to ensure this plan remains
relevant.
FINANCIAL FORECASTS
This section estimates expected funding through 2044,
project costs (adjusted for inflation), and overall project
budget need for the county. Although strictly estimates, these
projections help guide project funding decisions and
identifying funding opportunities.
PROGRAM OF PROJECTS
The program of projects is a recommended list of projects by
year, based on the tiered maintenance approach, expected
roadway degradation, and mobility needs. As the county
prepares the County Improvement Program (CIP) each year,
this program of projects will serve as a foundation to select
and prioritize projects.
UPDATES & NEXT STEPS
This plan requires updates to ensure the most recent
roadway data (pavement condition, crash information, project
costs) is used to identify needs. The county will update this
plan on a regular basis and provide updated project lists.IMPLEMENTATION INTRODUCTION OTTERt COUNTY -MINNEAI L SOTA

FINANCIAL FORECASTS
With the updates to the tiered maintenance system, Otter Tail County is in a strong position to meet project needs with
anticipated funding. County funding is provided through a variety of sources, including State Aid Construction, Wheelage Tax,
Sales Tax, Federal Aid, and Bridge funds. On average, County funding is approximately $19 million per year. Using the updated
tiered maintenance system (platinum roads reassigned to gold and adjusted PCI goals), forecasted annual project needs total
approximately $18.5 million. This funding level is expected to maintain the overall pavement quality of the county, with an overall
average of 65 PCI.
Figure 28. Annual Funding Sources
Figure 29. Projected Pavement Quality and Backlog
Based on these financial forecasts, all roadway tiers are expected to meet set quality goals. 2044 pavement quality conditions are
expected to exceed the set minimum goals and maintain the system at a high level.

UPDATES & NEXT STEPS
The vision, goals, and objectives of Otter Tail County remain consistent, but the outcomes of this plan will vary based on data
inputs. Specifically, the funding forecasts and project lists will be as relevant as the data utilized. The county will regularly update
data to keep the plan current. As needed, the county will initiate a complete plan update – which includes additional engagement,
assessment of the goals, objectives, and performance measures, and assessment of the tiered maintenance system.
DATA TO BE UPDATED
During updates, the following information will be revised as applicable:
• Pavement condition
• Bridge condition
• Crash history
• Traffic volumes
• Project cost information
• Construction inflation
• Revenue history
GOAL & OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE
At each update, the county will track progress on goals and objectives – as data is available. At complete plan updates, these
goals and objectives will be evaluated, adjusted as necessary, and objective progress tracked. UPDATES & NEXT STEPS

GOALS OF ENGAGEMENT
As we engage with the Otter Tail County community, residents, and stakeholders, we strive to accomplish the following goals:
GOAL 1: ENSURE THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS THE OTTER TAIL COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION PLAN
Throughout the plan development process, we will provide a variety of opportunities to review draft documents, provide input,
and ask questions. This includes providing materials in-person and online, ensuring input opportunities are accessible, and
facilitating opportunities to connect with project staff in several formats.
GOAL 2: PROVIDE MEANINGFUL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE PLAN
As we facilitate engagement within Otter Tail County, we want to make sure these opportunities gather meaningful input and
are accessible to all. Accessible engagement may include
• Providing materials physically and virtually
• Translation of materials upon request
• Interpretation services during presentations upon request
• Providing multiple formats of engagement
o These can include anonymous response, small/large group discussion, passive engagement activities such as
notes on boards, active engagement activities such as discussion with project staff
• Direct outreach to underserved or underrepresented communities
GOAL 3: DEVELOP THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN OTTER TAIL COUNTY STAFF AND THE
COMMUNITY
Following engagement for the Otter Tail County Transportation Plan, we want the community to feel their input was meaningful,
impacted the final plan, and fostered their relationship with Otter Tail County. GOALS

OVERVIEW
The first phase of engagement for the 2050 Otter Tail County Transportation Plan occurred in Summer and Fall of 2024. We
utilized four primary activities to engage with the community:
Open Houses (4)
Date(s): October 21-24, 2024 Attendees: 35
What did we hear?
• Safety is a top concern, desire to slow cars for multimodal safety
• Community wants to see continued pavement maintenance
• Strong desire for additional crosswalks and multimodal trails along highly utilized corridors
Focus Group (1)
Date(s): October 23, 2024 Attendees: 9
What did we hear?
• Staff utilizes the transportation plan to understand upcoming projects – although
relies on the 5-year project list more heavily
• Although seal coating has historically been majority of work, would like to consider
improvements that address quality before high deterioration
Online Survey & Wikimap
Open throughout project Responses: 20
What did we hear?
• Many areas of pavement quality improvement opportunities were identified
• Locations for desired crosswalks and bicycle paths were identified and supported by
other community members

PHASE 1 ACTIVITIES
OPEN HOUSES (4)
The 2050 Otter Tail County Transportation Plan project group facilitated four open houses throughout the county. These occurred
late October 2024 in the cities of Fergus Falls, Perham, Parkers Prairie, and Ottertail with a total of approximately 35 attendees.
Format
All four open houses followed the same format, with project staff available to guide and answer questions. Two series of boards
were presented: Existing Conditions and Feedback Activities.
Existing Conditions
The existing conditions boards provided a summary of the full “Existing Conditions” document produced for the plan. This
included a high-level review of safety, pavement, roadway classification, population, and demographics. Detailed maps were also
provided to show detail by specific roadway if needed.

Feedback Activities
Over half the open house boards were dedicated to gathering community feedback on existing transportation conditions and
future vision for the county. These included a vision and goals prioritization exercise, pavement quality exercise, and map
available for comment.
Vision & Goals Prioritization Exercise
Goal: Confirm draft vision and goals and understand what goals may guide project prioritization
In this activity, we shared the county’s draft goals and objectives. Each person was given 10 marbles and could prioritize the
values by placing marbles in corresponding jars (they can “spend” marbles however they would like, spreading out in all jars or
putting all in one). Results are shown below: Goal Safety
Accessibility & Alternative Forms of Transportation
Economic Development & Mobility
System Preservation Revenue Enhancement Coordination & Collaboration System Resilience Count 112 53 18 64 36 38 35 Percentage 31% 15% 18% 10% 11% 10% 5%
Key Takeaways:
•Safety is overwhelmingly the top priority for community (31% of votes)
•System Preservation and Accessibility & Alternative Forms of Transportation are the next priority (18 and 15%
respectively)
•Economic Development is relatively the least important for community members
PAGE 6
Pavement Quality Exercise
Goal: Understand if community categorization of pavement matches county categorization
This activity focused on understanding how community members would categorize pavement – ranking from “Very Poor” to “Very
Good”. Currently, the county utilizes MnDOT guidelines to define pavement quality, which buckets pavement into a category
based on their Pavement Quality Index (PQI). MnDOT guidelines are as follows:
Very Poor Poor Fair Good Very Good 0-19 20-39 40-59 60-79 80-100
In reviewing the latest pavement
data, the county realized no
pavement falls within “Very Poor”
category. This conflicts with the
community perspective, however,
as they identify many very poor
pavements throughout the
county.
To understand where differences
exist, we presented a series of
images of roadways (taken in
August 2024) and asked the
community to select a quality
category using stickers. See
photo on the left for an example.

Results
For detailed results of this activity, please see the Appendix.
Generally, the community agrees with how the county identifies “Good” and “Very Good” pavements but disagree on “Poor” and
“Fair”. The table below shows discrepancies in the “Poor” and “Fair” pavement photos:

How many people thought it should be categorized worse?
How many people agree with the actual category?
How many people thought it should be categorized better?
Poor (PQI 38) - 14 2
Key Takeaways:
• Community members experience “Fair” pavement as “Poor”
• Visible cracking is associated with “Poor” pavement
• The county may need to consider adjusting the “Poor” category to include higher PQI roadways to match community perception

Comment Cards
Comment cards were available at all open houses, inviting any comments, questions, or concerns about the Transportation Plan.
These cards also allowed community members to provide their contact information for the project team to follow up. Comments
received are presented below (with personal information redacted):
“The shoulders on Cty Rd need to be widened desperately to allow safe biking and walking. Recommend for Glendalough to
County Rd 5.”
“I’ve heard they are considering a round abt at 78 & 108, this is really not a safe way to handle traffic for bikers, walkers, and golf
cart”
“Are you considering roundabouts @ 1 and 78 and 108 and 78? Does not help with bike or pedestrian access. With new walking
path to boat landing, people will need to cross 78”
“The City of Henning would like to have a bike/pedestrian path from the City Park and festival grounds to connect with City Hwy
16. Widen all of Hwy 16 to Glendalough Park”
“I am very concerned about Hwy 16 from Beauty Shore Dr. to Glendalough is very difficult to walk or bike on this road – it is very
dangerous.”
“At Hwy 78 & 108, can you make this safer to cross over to the bike path. The traffic is too fast for kids to cross over to see the
otter or use the bike path. I know this meeting was for the county but appreciate if you could share with MnDOT.”
“Thank you!”
“Hwy 78 in Ottertail City it needs a crosswalk to get from east to west. The new partial bike path to the lake access south of
ottertail doesn’t safely benefit anyone, except if you live on Bay View Rd. Speed limit too fast in Ottertail City”
“Bike path on county 16 to connect to Glendalough and on to the City of Battle Lake – thank you for your time in considering this”
“Attended meeting to express interest in County 16 bike path on shoulder extension. Glen…Park to Hwy 5”
“Intersection of Hwy 14 & 67 is more dangerous after the road modifications than before them. There was only 1 blind spot before
now there are 2 blind spots at that intersection due to the 2 blind curves.”
“What does the county have to say abt state roads? 78 & 108 are state highways does the state care what we think? If not, then
this is a waste of our time.”
PAGE 10
FOCUS GROUPS (1)
One focus group occurred in October 2024 with Otter Tail County Highway Department staff. The meeting included a summary of
existing conditions, facilitation of the vision/goals and pavement quality exercises, and general discussion about existing and
future maintenance strategies.
ONLINE SURVEY & WIKIMAP
To gather feedback from a wider audience, questions presented during the open houses will be converted to an online survey.
This survey will also capture demographic information (optional to provide) to allow us to analyze results by community group.
This will allow us to identify if specific groups are experiencing undue burdens, facing obstacles, or identify unique opportunities.
PROJECT WEBSITE
A supplement to the in-person focus group and open house activities, we will host a project website that allows a parallel virtual
engagement opportunity. The website will provide all materials shared during in-person events, allow community members to
provide input, and information to contact project staff.
Key Takeaways:
•Staff utilizes the transportation plan to understand upcoming projects – although relies on the 5-year project list more
heavily
•Although seal coating has historically been majority of work, would like to consider improvements that address quality
before high deterioration
•Would like to see increased communication to the community about why certain projects are completed (for example:
why seal coat if roadway to be reconstructed in a few years)

OVERVIEW
The second phase of engagement for the 2050 Otter Tail County Transportation Plan occurred in Summer and Fall of 2025. In
Phase 1, we heard that open houses were not an ideal format for all, and we responded by implementing pop-ups in Phase 2.
We utilized three primary activities to engage with the community:
Pop-Ups (2)
Date(s): June 13, 2025 Location: Shoreline Café and SummerFest
Attendees: 75
What did we hear?
• Overall confirmation of the draft vision and goals of the plan (focus on safety, pavement condition, and multimodal network)
• Split preferences between low-quality paved compared to high-quality gravel
• Future projects need to include engagement
• Projects should consider seasonal changes in population and needs
Online Survey
Open throughout project Responses: 17
What did we hear?
• Nearly all confirmed that safety and pavement condition should be primary goals of
this plan
• About 75& “strongly agreed” that multimodal access should be a primary goal of the
plan, with 25% selecting “somewhat agree”
• Maintenance is (and should continue to be) a priority and considered in future projects
• Multimodal safety should be improved
• If needing to choose between a low-quality paved road or a high-quality gravel road, half of respondents prefer high-quality gravel, 30% prefer low-quality paved, and remaining have no preference

PHASE 2 ACTIVITIES
POP UPS (2)
The 2050 Otter Tail County Transportation Plan project group facilitated two pop up events in the summer and fall of 2025. These
occurred at Shoreline Café and SummerFest on June 13, 2025 with approximately 75 attendees.
Format
Both pop ups followed the same format, with project staff available to guide and answer questions. Three activities were
presented to gather feedback on community priorities, pavement quality, and paved/gravel preference.
Community Priorities
The community priority board presented the top three topics we heard in Phase 1, and asked for visitor’s level of agreement:
All respondents stated that they “strongly
agree” with safety, pavement condition, and
multimodal access being primary priorities for
the county transportation system.
STRATEGIES In the first phase of engagement, we asked for the community's priorities for the transportation system. We heard that safety,
pavement condition, and multlmoclal access -re the top priorities. Please selKt your response to these priorities:

Pavement Quality
To understand what shapes the community’s perception of road quality, visitor’s were asked to participate in a second activity.
This board asked how strongly they felt each topic impacted road quality:
Overwhelmingly, potholes and ride quality most impacted people’s
perception of road quality. Closely following were visible cracking,
with fewer people saying unpaved shoulders or faded lane.
Paved/Gravel Preference
A final question at the pop-ups was to help us determine if there was strong community preference between high-quality gravel
roads over low-quality pavement roads. Community responses were evenly split between the two.

Re: Collective Bargaining Agreement Approvals for LELS – Non-Licensed Supervisors
The negotiating team reached a tentative agreement with the LELS – Non-Licensed Supervisors
union group for a 3-year contract. The following summarizes the agreement:
The duration of the agreement is January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2028
The updates include minor changes to definitions to align with our current Service Team
organizational structure which was previously under divisions and updating language from
Division Directors to Service Team Leaders throughout the contract.
Cost of Living Adjustments:
• 2026: 4.5%
• 2027: 4.0%
• 2028: 3.0%
Employer contributions for benefits:
• Legacy Employer Contributions – employed prior to December 31, 2019:
2026: $1,420
2027: $1,430

• Employees – Single Plan:

@ ottertailcounty.gov
Sick leave provisions are updated to align with the Earned Sick and Safe Time law.
Meal Allowances
• Breakfast: $13.00 for 2026; $14.00 for 2027; and $15.00 for 2028
• Lunch: $20.00 for 2026 & 2027; $22.00 for 2028
• Supper: $23.00 for 2026 & 2027; $25.00 for 2028
Minnesota Paid Leave: Included language acknowledging the statute and that the premium
contribution will be split 50/50 between employee and employer beginning January 1, 2026.
Post Employment Health Care: Modified language to pay all accumulated comp time (to the
maximum 40 hours) to be paid out as of December 31 of each year and removed language
providing that the comp time payout occurs at any wage rate increase. This change allows
more flexibility for employees to use comp time.
Union members on the negotiating team are eligible to receive up to three hours of their
regular pay during negotiation sessions. This provision was included because Correction
Officers and Dispatchers are often negotiating on their days off to maintain adequate staffing
levels at the jail.
Weekend shift differential was added for employees working between 6:00 am and 6:00 pm
on Saturday and Sunday to receive additional compensation which aligns with employees
working the night shift.
Additional pay related to Field Training Officer, working out of classification, shift differential,
and uniform allowances are adjusted consistent with cost-of-living adjustments.
The CBA changed a position title from Dispatch Supervisor to Communications Sergeant for
covered members.
A Memorandum of Understanding for the Administrative Bank was updated to account for
the bi-weekly paycheck but otherwise remains unchanged.
If you would like a copy of the bargaining agreement in its entirety, please let me know. The existing
contract is available on the Employee Dashboard, which will be updated upon the approval of the
negotiated contract.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

system, stays with that drainage system account. Expenditure examples the assessments are levied
to cover included drainage system repairs and maintenance, buffer strip easements, redetermination
of benefits, and drainage administration fees. The enclosed table shows the amount owed for the
parcel you own per drainage system. A separate letter will be sent for each parcel you own.
