Recess & Reconvene At 9:51 a.m., Chair Huebsch declared the meeting of the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners recessed for a short break. The Board of Commissioner’s meeting was reconvened at 10:00 a.m.

Decriminalizing Mental Illness Presentation by Concerned Citizen Tim Barry, former resident of Otter Tail County and father of an adult daughter who has experienced mental illness, spoke to the board about his mission to speak to elected officials on how to stop criminalizing mental illness. Mr. Barry read from a January 2019 letter he had written and sent to Minnesota’s Governor and members of the state legislature. He stated that since the 1800s, our society has recognized that a detention or jail is not the appropriate setting to effectively treat individuals with mental illness. Mr. Barry spoke about his daughter’s history of behavior that has resulted in involuntary removal from a treatment facility and returning her to a detention facility because of criminal proceedings. Mr. Barry discussed his efforts to draw attention to this issue by contacting various officials at the Minnesota Department of Human Services and writing over 200 letters to law makers; however, he states he has not received any responses. He started a petition and traveled to counties collecting numerous signatures, including those from law enforcement, showing support to for effectively addressing mental illness, which often also includes addiction. Mr. Barry’s message is that we are imposing penal consequences on individuals that primarily need mental health treatment. The board expressed their support to form a committee to continue this conversation and make efforts in finding alternatives to jail for individuals that are suffering from serious mental health conditions. County departments, including the county administrator, law enforcement, and human services, were directed to identify solutions and develop recommendations for future board consideration.

2019 County Wide Crack Sealing

Motion by Rogness, second by Johnson and unanimously carried to award the 2019 County Wide Crack Sealing Project to KAMCO, Inc., located in Dassel, MN, in the amount of $123,364.15, as recommended by the Highway Engineer.

County Highway 13 Petition Commissioner Huebsch received a Petition to rebuild and tar 3.5 miles of County Highway 13 north to the Becker County line. Discussion was held about the road conditions of that portion of the highway as well as how the it fits into the Otter Tail County 2040 Transportation Plan. Motion by Rogness, second by Johnson and unanimously carried to receive the petition into the record and forward it to the Public Works Committee for further discussion.

County Ditch No. 58 Ditch Inspector Kevin Fellbaum presented a petition for repair filed by property owners regarding Ditch No. 58. During the Re-determination of Benefits in 2016, property owners voiced their concern about how they felt the outlet of County Ditch 58 was never completed. The outlet of the system was intended to handle water coming out of Albert Lake and the wetlands to the NW and outlet the water into the Otter Tail River. The petition that was received is requesting that the outlet for Ditch 58 be completed. Motion by Rogness, second by Lindquist and unanimously carried for the Ditch Inspector to move forward in planning to address the high water issues and return to the board for further action. The plan moving forward will be to complete survey work, design outlet infrastructure, receive quotes, and then report out to the property owners what the project will entail.

Adjournment At 11:02 a.m., Chair Huebsch declared the Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners meeting adjourned. The next Board meeting is scheduled at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, at the Government Services Center in Fergus Falls, MN.

2018 ANNUAL REPORT

COMMUNITIES

ACTION INC. EST. 1964

Dear Board members, colleagues, staff and friends of West Central Minnesota Communities Action, Inc.:

West Central MN Communities Action, Inc. is proud to be a part of a large national anti-poverty network that has been working to eliminate poverty since 1964. Our vision is to live and work towards the Community Action Promise each and every day! We are pleased to present to you the 2018 Annual Report of West Central MN Communities Action, Inc. You will see growth for WCMCA, Inc. in revenue and programs, and in partnerships across our service area.

In February of 2018, WCMCA, Inc. and Alexandria Technical College hosted a legislative learning session at our newly remodeled Head Start classrooms at the college. We had a wonderful turnout with our legislators attending and learning about the programs WCMCA, Inc. provides, as well as updates from Dr. Laura Urban from Alexandria Technical College. Many thanks to Rep Bud Nornes, Rep Mary Franson, Rep Jeff Backer, Senator Torrey Westrom, US Rep Colin Peterson, and Andy from US Senator Amy Klobuchar’s office. This partnership continues to thrive and our classrooms at the college are at full enrollment, and we truly love being at ATCC!

WCMCA, Inc. was presented with the Promising Practice Award for the Ready Ride program at MN Community Action Partnership in St. Paul. A Promising Practice award is one that has not been in existence for more than a year; is a program that can measurably improve the efficiency or effectiveness of customer service or support systems, and it is innovative to address a local need. Rural transportation for our customers continues to be a need identified in our Community Needs Assessment. The Ready Ride program offers rides for clients ages 65+, and also partners with Region 4 Mental Health Consortium, which offers rides for clients with serious or persistent mental health illness (SPMI).

WCMCA, Inc. also received an Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Award from the Department of Defense. Our Head Start employee, Chessie Andrist, nominated WCMCA, Inc. for the Above and Beyond Award. Thanks Chessie for the nomination, it was an honor to receive this award for WCMCA, Inc.

WCMCA, Inc. and Lakes and Prairies Community Action Partnership co-hosted a Group Cares project in Breckenridge in July of this past year – we had 260 campers from all over the US, 26 projects were completed and 8,812 labor hours donated throughout 7 different communities!

Kelli Winter, Director of Development & Operations, earned her Certified Community Action Professional (CCAP) certificate from the National Community Action Partnership. Congrats!

We are proud to present to everyone WCMCA’s annual audit. As in years past, there were no findings, questioned costs, significant deficiencies, or material weaknesses. This can be attributed to staff following proper policies and procedures, and WCMCA’s strong internal controls.

We would like to extend a warm thank you to all WCMCA, Inc. Agency staff, Board members, volunteers and community partners – you all make this work possible. We are all in this together and committed to “Partnering to build community and empower people to overcome poverty and achieve their full potential.” The work we do at Community Action is so critical to the health and well-being of our communities. We are proud to share with you the work of WCMCA, Inc. employees and volunteers in reducing the effects of poverty in our communities. Thank you for your commitment to our organization.

I first met AshLee just after she had her youngest son, Aiden, in

the early fall of 2016. She was a single mom with three boys, who just moved into her own place. Her son, Walker, was attending Head Start, and Austin was enrolled with me in Early Head Start.

AshLee and I talked about what she wanted her future to look like and started setting goals. She wanted to go to college to get a degree in a profession that could support her family. She also wanted to be an active part in her children’s success in life, and get a hobby farm in the country, where the children could run, play and explore.

AshLee started attending M-State College spring semester of 2015. She met Brad, her now fiancé, through mutual friends at a local church around the same time. AshLee and her three boys moved in with Brad and his two girls later that fall after having safety issues with her apartment. She continued to pursue her degree, budget for the household, and raise five children. In February of 2016, AshLee gave birth to twin girls, Eva and Bria, seven weeks early. She juggled trips to the NICU, family life, and continuing school.

Ashlee graduated spring of 2016 with an AAS degree. That fall, Brad and AshLee purchased a hobby farm in the country. Upon moving, the children lost busing from their house to the schools they attended. AshLee pleaded her case to both schools, and both schools stated that busing would be impossible unless she met the buses in a nearby town. So everyday, AshLee drove the children, nine miles to meet the buses, so they could continue to attend the school of their choice.

That same year, AshLee decided to go back for her phlebotomy degree at Central Lakes College. She was elected to and served on Student Senate at Central Lakes Community College. AshLee also was elected to the Head Start Policy Council the fall of 2017; which she currently still serves on. Ashlee graduated with her phlebotomy degree spring of 2018. She found employment as an Administrative Assistant, and decided to continue her schooling for her Medical Lab Technician degree.

In the fall of 2018, AshLee was able to arrange busing with both schools, which didn’t include a special trip each morning. She applied to Lakewood Health System Outreach Clinic for a casual phlebotomist position in November of 2018 and was hired. AshLee now has a full-time job, a supportive fiancé, seven wonderful children, her hobby farm, and is still pursuing her Medical Lab Technician degree. She is a very motivated young women who sets her goals and does not let anything stand in her way of achieving them!

Greater Minnesota Transit Systems Teaming Up to Meet MnDOT Goals for Enhanced Service, Improved Efficiencies and Cost Savings

Regional Transportation Coordinating Councils The Minnesota Departments of Transportation and Human Services, in collaboration with other state agencies, are working with the Metropolitan Council, and other local governments and organizations to create regional transportation coordinating councils as appropriate throughout Minnesota. Coordination between transportation providers and service agencies has been a goal and strategy to fill transportation gaps, provide more service with the same or fewer resources, streamline access to transportation and provide customers more options of where and when to travel.

Goal for Regional Transportation Coordinating Councils

The state agencies would provide support for creating a statewide framework of 8-10 Regional Transportation Coordinating Councils throughout Minnesota in order to break down transportation barriers and offer a seamless system of transportation services. The Regional Transportation Coordinating Councils would be responsible for coordinating transportation services through a network of existing public, private and non-profit transportation providers. Potential Tasks of the Regional Transportation Coordinating Councils

Lead activities to and advance coordination throughout region.

Exercise the authority to make change based on a formal governing framework.

Employ dedicated staff to implement change.

Provide technical assistance to facilitate human service program vehicle sharing.

Establish transportation provider performance standards for service, vehicles, and personnel.

Actively participate in and/or lead the FTA required local transportation coordination plan process.

Utilize a cost accounting system to accurately reflect the full costs of providing transportation services.

Share quality assurance data and uniform reporting among stakeholders.

Develop or promote existing van pool or rideshare services.

Technical Assistance to volunteer driver programs and/or coordination of volunteer programs.

Establish or promote existing travel training programs.

Provide feedback to the Minnesota Council on Transportation Access (MCOTA) as to what is working and where state level assistance may be needed.

Regional Transportation Coordinating Council Benefits

Increase efficiencies that may be achieved through more grouping of individuals traveling to the same destination or reduced duplication of services and/or vehicles.

Enhanced access to social and health services, education and employment.

Improved use of resources: For example, if the same services can be provided with fewer vehicles, then funds spent on insurance and capital is reduced. Other resources that could be shared include staff training, computer software, or call center staff.

Coordination and collaboration can result in providing transportation in ways that contribute to livable communities and a vital economy.

A Resolution Supporting

Local Control for Local Elections

WHEREAS, all townships and school districts, 86 of 87 counties, and 85 percent of cities fall under the statutory rule for the conduct of local elections and must ask permission of the Legislature to make changes to these rules; and

WHEREAS, local charter (or home rule) cities that hold elections in even years along with state and federal elections must comply with restrictive state partisan ballot design requirements; and

WHEREAS, there are no consistent rules for the administration of Ranked Choice Voting in local jurisdictions in Minnesota; and

WHEREAS, the Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) Local Options bill aims to remove regulatory barriers and extend the authority to adopt Ranked Choice Voting to local statutory jurisdictions; and

WHEREAS, the RCV Local Options bill contains no mandates; and

WHEREAS, the RCV Local Options bill provides for the flexibility to efficiently include ranked and non-ranked elections on a single ballot; and

WHEREAS, the RCV Local Options bill provides consistent standards for the administration of RCV in cities that choose to use it; and

WHEREAS, the League of Minnesota Cities supports the need for consistent RCV rules for use in Minnesota cities; and

WHEREAS, the RCV local options bill contain no mandates, but simply provides local jurisdictions with the permission and tools they need to consider and implement RCV if we wish; and

WHEREAS, a growing number of cities are exploring RCV because it provides a number of benefits over current expensive and low-participation local elections, including:

• Making voting simpler for voters by eliminating the need for local nonpartisan primaries and consolidating two elections into one;

• Saving the cost of primaries altogether in cities with odd-year local elections; • Demonstrably increasing voter participation; • Ensuring majority winners in a single election. Voters rank their preferences on the ballot,

1st, 2nd, 3rd and so on. If no candidate receives a majority of first choices, then the least popular candidate is defeated and their ballots are reassigned to those voters’ second

choices; and this process is repeated until one candidate receives a majority of continuing ballots;

• Making voting easier for deployed military members and other citizens abroad by requiring one less election for them to receive and return their ballots on time;

• Improving the civility of campaigning; and • Reducing the influence of outside money in campaigns.

WHEREAS, more than 87 percent of polled voters in the Twin Cities say that RCV is simple to use;

WHEREAS, the Local Options measure is a significant opportunity to improve elections in cities, counties, townships, and school districts throughout the state.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE UNDERSIGNED, we support removing regulatory barriers and giving all local jurisdictions in Minnesota the option to use Ranked Choice Voting if they decide it is right for their communities.

April4,2019

Charlie WooleyActing Regional Director and Deputy Regional Director5600 American Blvd. West, Suite 990B[oomington, MN 55437-1 458

Dear Mr. Wooley,

We are writing to you to express our concern for the Prairie Wetlands Learning Center

(PWLC) located in Fergus Falls, MN. The PWLC was the very first residential learning center in the

United States for the FWS. Since 2003, because of a unique collaboration of the Federal, State

and City Government with the Fergus Falls School Dist. #544, the Prairie Science Class (PSC) was

started. Currently, over 200 4th and 5th graders attend half-day classes during the entire school

year at the PWLC. There are approximately 83,000 individual visitors throughout the year. This

number comes from the PSC as well as students from 15 schools in the surrounding area and

visitors. There has been wholesale support for the PWLC and PSC from local chapters ofPheasants Forever, Ducks Unlimited, Fergus Falls Fish and Game Club and the Friends of the

PWLC.

Because of the combination and cooperation of the PWLC and PSC, excellent early

environmental education is accomplished. The objective for teaching kids at an early age is to

give them natural recreation opportunities and showcasing the career opportunities in

conservation.

The problem is that the PWLC has been without a director for three years and currently

there is no Office Assistant. Two FWS educational specialists are supporting the PSC as well as

totally managing and teaching the students from the surrounding communities for their day

visits. ln the past, the PSC had up to four interns assisting in the classrooms. As of April 2019,

there will be none.

We are very well aware of the financial constraints placed on the FWS at this time.

However, to be able to continue with the strong educational and community programs, with their

emphasis on the environment, we feel the overwhelming need is to regain the activities that we

once had. Currently because there are positions that are not filled the PWLC cannot prornote or

offer programs to the public and the surrounding community. Furthermore we are becoming less

available to the public due to shortage of personnel. The PWLC is only open to the public from

noon to four, which limits participation.

"Prornoting conseruation and education of the prairie pothole region."

What we are requesting is:

1. We would like to meet with you at the PWLC to have a conversation regardirtg ourconcerns.

2. We want to discuss ways in which we can continue educational programs incollaboration with the state of MN, the ISD 544 and the other natural resource groups.

We will need staff to accomplish this.

3. Ultimately, we would like a Visitor Service Manager to be hired in a timely manner.

,.We are deeply invested in our Prairie Wetlands Center. Our Frjends of the Prairie

Wetlands Learning Center have been donating tlme, energy and resources for over thirty years to

make this a success. lt was the first residential learning center in the US and we are proud of this.

It is our deepest hope that we can continue this marvelous opportunity for people to connect to

nature and to learn to love our erwironment.

We look fonvard to hearing from you. Please contact our Friends of the Prairie Wetlands

Learning Center President, Robert Olson to discuss a potential meeting. His email is

[email protected] and his cell phone is (218)205-8316.
