MEMORANDUM

DATE August 4, 2021 TO Otter Tail County Board of Commissioners FROM Rena Simon, Recycling Manager CC Wayne Stein, Otter Tail County Auditor & Treasurer RE Hook Truck Purchase

BACKGROUND

As past practice, Solid Waste trucks have been scheduled for replacement at or near 300,000 miles. It was expected to have a truck from the Recycling Department fleet reach that milestone in 2021 as recognized in a 2021 capital improvement item. We currently have one truck over 315,000 miles and two others hovering around 300,000 miles.

Our last truck purchase was for a packer truck. Staff have been impressed with the Freightliner M2 112 for that application. For ease in parts and maintenance, it is recommended to purchase another Freightliner M2 112 with an automatic transmission for the hook lift application along with an Ampliroll hook lift, with which our drivers/operators are familiar.

Both truck chassis and hook lift include standard safety equipment and are on Minnesota State Contract. Pricing attached may vary slightly to actual costs due to minor details but substantially represents the truck and hook lift to be purchased.

Instead of trading a truck in at this time, there will be an opportunity to use a truck from the Recycling Department fleet for transfer station operations and as a back-up for other Solid Waste Department operations.

$180,000 was budgeted for the purchase of a hook truck in 2021. Minnesota State Contract price for truck chassis and hook lift comes in at $117,221 and $47,250.71, respectively, for a total of $164,471.71.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Solid Waste Department to purchase a hook truck (truck chassis and hook lift) through the state contract as described herein.

ATTACHMENT A LIDAR PRODUCTS

A. Raw Digital Elevation Models (DEM): The LiDAR vendor will provide raw DEM’s (1,000 x 1,000-meter tiles). The IWI will mosaic the DEM tiles together to create a continuous surface for participating Minnesota watershed districts and counties. Expected delivery is fall 2022.

B. 1-Foot Contours (IWI): The Lidar QL1 level and its corresponding vertical root mean square error will allow for the development of 1-foot contours based on 1-meter raw DEM’s. Expected delivery spring 2023.

C. LiDAR Intensity Images (Vendor): Black and white images of the laser pulse return frequency used as an aid in feature detection and extraction.

D. Lidar Point Cloud Classification (Vendor): The United States Geological Survey Lidar Base Specification at https://www.usgs.gov/core-science-systems/ngp/ss/lidar-base- specification-tables define the minimum LiDAR Point Cloud classifications as indicated in Table 5 below.

Table 5: Minimum Light Detection and Ranging Data Classification Scheme. Code Description 1 Processed, but unclassified. 2 Bare earth. 7 Low noise. 9 Water. 17 Bridge deck. 18 High noise. 20 Ignored ground (typically break-line proximity). 21 Snow (if present and identifiable). 22 Temporal exclusion (typically non-favored data in intertidal zones).

In addition to the required minimum classification the following added point feature/classes will be delivered by the LiDAR vendor: • 3 - Low Vegetation. • 4 - Medium Vegetation. • 5 - High Vegetation. • 6 - Building.

Otter Tail County LiDAR Data Acquisition Agreement 2021JPA-03: July 23, 2021 6

E. 3-D Hydro Break-lines (Vendor): The DEM will include polygons depicting edge‐of‐ water for waterbodies with a surface area of ≥ 3/4 acres and for streams and rivers with a 30-meter nominal width.

F. Hydro-conditioning DEMs (IWI): Raw DEMs will be hydro-conditioned (https://ptmapp.bwsr.state.mn.us/files/DEM-Hydrologic-conditioning-Steps-FINAL.pdf) to account for subsurface features such as culverts and to delineate areas that do not contribute to the downstream flow of surface water (non-contributing areas). LiDAR sensors cannot penetrate the earth’s surface and hence all roads and railways with culverts, as well as structures like bridges and dams, are impediments to surface water- flow when modeled across digital elevation surfaces. Hydro-conditioned DEM’s have these impediments (digital dams) removed and allow for better hydrology and hydraulic studies, hydro-terrain analysis, and hydrography data development (i.e., watercourses and watersheds).

G. Building Footprints (Vendor): A polygon GIS shapefile depicting footprints of existing buildings will be created. The polygons are derived from the additional Lidar point cloud class 6 - Building.

H. Farmstead Ring Dikes (Vendor): A GIS shapefile to highlight the location of approximately 300 ring dikes that have been co-funded by the RRWMB will be created.

OVERVIEW OF FY2022-23 STATE BUDGET ACTIONS

$52.2 Billion FY2022-23 (two-year) State General Fund Budget $2.3 Billion for new uses focus on COVID Recovery & Equity; Budget includes increased funding for Counties Minnesota lawmakers completed adoption of a $52.2 billion biennial budget on June 30, just hours before some parts of state government were set to temporarily shut down. Chapter 14, 1st Special Session of 2021, the Omnibus Tax Bill, was the final bill to pass in the early morning hours of July 1. The House then adjourned the 1st Special Session sine die, while the Senate continued in session to consider gubernatorial appointments. Governor Walz signed all the bills into law.

The enacted $52.2 billion budget for FY2022-23 reflects a 3.4% increase over projected spending under prior law, and a 9.4% increase over the FY2020-21 biennium. In addition to a projected surplus of $1.672 billion (February Forecast), the budget uses $692 million of one-time federal funds in FY2022-23, and another $550,000 million in FY2023-24 to achieve budget balance.

General Fund Changes -- in millions FY2022-23 FY2024-25 Beginning Balance--Feb. Forecast $ 3,829,503 $ 4,109,016 Current Revenues--prior law $ 50,936,737 $ 54,306,938 Tax Revenue Changes $ (746,310) $ (150,450) Total Current Resources--Enacted $ 54,019,930 $ 58,265,504

Projected Spending -- Prior Law $ 50,657,224 $ 53,441,890 Net Spending Changes $ 1,581,698 $ 1,173,609 Total Spending--Enacted $ 52,238,922 $ 54,615,499

Use of Federal Funds $ (691,733) $ (550,000)

Budget Reserves & Cash Flow--prior Law $ 2,436,650 $ 2,595,353 Change in Reserves $ (100,000) $ (100,000) Change in Carry-forward $ 7,800 $ 1,644,075

Estimated Budgetary Balance $ 128,291 $ 60,577

The budget changes compared to the prior law base funding are largely focused on pandemic recovery for individuals, businesses, and the economy, including $746 million in tax cuts and $1.562 billion of new spending for FY2022-23. Within that context, there is increased funding for broadband, county aids, health and human service programs, roads and bridges, community corrections, environmental programs and more.

State Budget, Page 1 of 3

BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA STATE BUDGET OVERVIEW

The largest amounts for new spending were allocated for E-12 education ($554 million), health and human services ($283 million), transportation and transit ($220 million), and business relief and workforce ($130 million). Beyond these amounts, an additional $250 million has been set-aside for Frontline Worker Pay. County governments will also benefit from various non-general fund changes, including for environmental, transportation, and health and human service programs.

The biggest exception to the overall good news for counties was the failure to approve a bonding bill. Although even-year bonding bills tend to be smaller, Minnesota still faces significant infrastructure challenges at both the state and local levels. Resumption of the historical pattern of passing major bonding bills in even-years, followed by smaller bills in biennial budget sessions is essential to addressing the growing backlog of public infrastructure needs while also maintaining steady flow of projects for private providers. State Budget, Page 2 of 3

BENTON · BLUE EARTH · CARVER · CHISAGO · CROW WING · DAKOTA · OLMSTED · OTTER TAIL · RICE · SCOTT · SHERBURNE · STEARNS · ST. LOUIS · WASHINGTON · WINONA STATE BUDGET OVERVIEW

Structurally Balanced – Healthy State Budget For FY 2024-25, projected current spending ($54.6 billion) slightly exceed projected current revenues ($54.2 billion), not counting inflation or one-time federal funds. As such, there is some risk of longer-term budget instability, especially if there is a sustained growth in inflation pressures. On the other hand, the budget maintains a healthy Budget Reserve. Further, recent state revenue collections have exceeded projected collections by over $2.0 billion, suggesting the 2022 session may begin with more positive budget news. And, the state has yet to appropriate roughly $1.2 billion of the $2.8 billion of ARP State Fiscal Recovery Funds.

Budget Agreements Reached Despite Major, Ongoing Policy Differences The budget decisions, however, do not fully capture the depth of the political and policy differences that influenced 2021 deliberations. Most significantly, the ongoing COVID pandemic meant the unprecedented challenge of conducting all legislative business remotely up until the final weeks of June (1st Special Session) when the State Capitol reopened for the first time in over one year. Continuation of the COVID Peacetime Emergency and executive actions became a major point of contention, along with differences over the need for police reforms, racial and economic equity, and energy and climate policy.

With Minnesota being the only state legislature with split party control in a highly polarized national political context, each side proposed substantially different policy changes not supported by the other side. Ultimately, there was bi-partisan agreement to end the COVID Peacetime Emergency but no significant changes to election laws, clean car making authority, or expansion of earned sick time or paid family and medical leave. There were some changes to policing practices, although far fewer than proposed. Similarly, the House proposed more aggressive changes related to climate and energy policy, environmental response and regulations, permanent transportation financing increases, and upper income and corporate tax increases that did not get traction with the Senate majority.

Summarized in greater detail below are the budget and policy actions most relevant to counties, with emphasis on MICA member county priorities. Overall, key successes for member counties include: • Continued funding for County Program Aid, and increased funding for other county aids • Extension of COVID era health and human services waivers • County hold-harmless for repayment of IMD billing errors • Increased funding for county and local road and bridge projects • Increased funding for community corrections and county probation officer reimbursement • Increased funding for SCORE grants, landfill post-closure care, and AIS as well as increased ground water protections and funding for replacing non-compliant rural septic systems.

The Legislature reconvenes in regular session January 30, 2022, with a Special Session likely in September.

INTRODUCTION

The House and Senate took two different approaches to state tax policy in 2021. The House proposed roughly a billion of tax relief offset by a similar amount of tax increases on corporations, capital gains, and higher income households. The Senate proposed largely one-time reductions related to federal tax conformity (also in House bill). Chapter 14, the enacted Omnibus Tax Bill, reduces state tax revenue by $746 million for FY2022-23, and increases state aids and refunds by $74.4 million, with much of that being allocated to counties. $670 million, or 90 percent, of the revenue reduction is due to federal tax conformity, such as for PPP loan forgiveness and 2020 unemployment benefits. , CHAPTER 14, 1ST SS OF 2021, OMNIBUS TAX BILL

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

INTRODUCTION

Minnesota lawmakers completed a new $52 billion two-year budget on Wednesday, June 30, with just hours to spare before parts of state government were set to temporarily shut down. Governor Tim Walz wasted no time, quickly signing the remaining budget bills into law before midnight on July 1.

Nearly $800 million in federal COVID-19 relief dollars will be spent in the next four years on health and human services. Altogether, the health and human services spending will grow to just shy of $14 billion in the two-year budget cycle that started July 1, including a mix of both state general fund money and federal funding.

What Did Not Happen? • Metro Housing Demo: An initiative brought forward by MICA to increase the number of housing units as part of the Metro Housing Demo did not make it to the finish line. This proposal would have strategically expanded the program to address increased mental health and substance use disorder supports by adding units and expanding to Carver, Scott and Washington counties. SF1468/HF780 (Draheim/Reyer) was carried into conference committee by the House but ultimately did not survive final negotiations. • Telepresence Task Force: Although language that would have established a task force on creating a person- centered telepresence strategy was included in both SF1160 (Rosen) and the Senate omnibus HHS budget bill, unfortunately the measure was not included in the final agreement. • SUD Reform: Unfortunately, a county priority to allow counties to conduct peer recovery supports and create an MA-billable service for substance use disorder pretreatment coordination unfortunately did not cross the finish line this year. SF1821/HF2115 (Utke/Frederick) was modified to address DHS concerns as it moved through the committee process. We were successful in getting the Senate to include the language as part of its omnibus bill heading into conference committee. Ultimately, however, the provision was not included as part of the final deal. • Three cost shifts averted: Three adult services proposals that counties weighed in on during the regular session did not advance. As part of its omnibus bill, the Senate supported several modifications that would (1) cap disability waiver allocations (Article 14, Section 71), (2) freeze MnCHOICES assessments at 2019 levels (Article 14, Section 14), and (3) impose a county cost share on placements of disabled individuals 18- 27 years of age in certain settings (Article 14, Section 20). These proposals would have resulted in significant cost shifts to counties. Legislators stated their goals were to drive down costs; move individuals into more productive, individualized settings; and push counties to toward these placement options. While these proposals did not move forward, legislation addressing informed choice and new standards for informed decision-making passed (See Article 13). • Nonemergency Medical Transportation (NEMT): One of the recommendations of the Blue-Ribbon Commission on Health and Human Services proposed implementation of a uniform NEMT program. This would have returned NEMT to a single administrator to coordinate the transportation system. Before 2009, the State managed all components of NEMT services; this proposal would have returned the responsibility to the State.

Adjournment Governor Walz will call the Legislature back into special session in September to address a plan for the distribution of bonuses for essential workers.

The 2022 Legislature convenes on Monday, January 31, 2022.

INTRODUCTION

Nearly $800 million in federal COVID-19 relief dollars will be spent in the next four years on health and human services. Altogether, the health and human services spending will grow to just shy of $14 billion in the two-year budget cycle that started July 1, representing a mix of both state general fund money and federal funding.

The board would have issued 10 different types of licenses for various sectors of the cannabis industry in Minnesota. It would have also established an Office of Social Equity to promote development, stability, and safety in communities that have experienced a disproportionate, negative impact from cannabis prohibition. Local units of government could not have prohibited establishment of a licensed cannabis business, but could have established reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of retail cannabis operations, such as prohibiting a cannabis business “within 1,000 feet of a school, day care, nursing home, union headquarters, house of worship, or the Capitol or Capitol grounds.”

TRANSPORTATION

INTRODUCTION

The legislature did not pass a transportation budget bill within the regular legislative session. Special session negotiations were principally held between transportation chairs, Senator Scott Newman and Representative Frank Hornstein, who worked hard to reach agreement on Chapter 5, 1st SS of 2021. Chapter 5 allocates a $200 million budget target for FY 2022-23, reflecting a largely one-time funding increase to various statewide priorities spanning all modes of transportation. MICA counties will benefit from substantial trunk highway bond and general fund appropriations dedicated to specific projects. The bill does not include language proposed by the Governor, and later adopted by the Senate, that would have shifted responsibility for funding transit guideway capital maintenance and other guideway costs to counties, and no change to distribution of leased motor vehicle sales tax revenues.

ORRECTIONS AND UBLIC AFETY C P S

INTRODUCTION

From the start of the 2021 legislative session in January, it was clear that the House and Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committees were doing things differently and may have trouble coming to an agreement. The Senate committee started with informational hearings, while the House committee started hearing reform bills (mostly related to law enforcement) early in the session. In the background, the state was still experiencing civil unrest related to the trial of Derek Chauvin, and other use of deadly force encounters with law enforcement during the legislative session. As the first session ended without agreement, it was clear that public safety was going to play a big part in the negotiations during the special session and could be the determining factor as to whether there was a state government shutdown. In the end, an agreement was reached just days before the deadline for the budget bills and the omnibus was passed on June 29, 2021. For anyone that frequents the Capitol, it was clear that both sides gave up a lot of policy positions in order to avoid a shutdown.

Final Agreement – Ends Covid Peacetime Emergency July 1st Legislative Appropriation of $2.8 Billion federal American Rescue Plan Funding Final negotiations on the State Government Omnibus Budget Bill, Chapter 12, 1st SS of 2021 (SF2), included a House-Senate agreement to terminate the peacetime emergency declared by Executive Order 20-01, on March 13, 2020, effective July 1, 2021, at 11:59 p.m.

Throughout the final days and hours of Special Session, amendments to various bills volleyed back and forth and the Senate, House and Governor sought agreement on an end to EO 20-01. The Governor sought inclusion of specific exceptions for vaccine distribution and testing, draw-down of federal food stamp funds, and continued flexibility to temporarily reassignment state workforce through August 1. The Senate majority sought a retroactive $1000 cap on fines for violations of peacetime emergency executive orders. Ultimately, Chapter 12, Article 2, section 23, the Omnibus State Government budget bill, signed into law on June 30, ended the Peacetime Emergency declared under EO20-01 effective midnight July 1.

Chapter 14, Article 11, section 36, the Omnibus Tax Bill, passed the next day, and signed by Governor Walz on July 1, included language sought by the Governor maintained certain executive order provisions through August 1. No permanent changes were made to Minn. Stats. Chapter 12 emergency powers, meaning the Governor maintains authority to declare a new peacetime emergency for COVID or other purposes allowed by that law.

ARP - $2.8 Billion State Fiscal Stabilization Funds (SFSF) Control over federal COVID spending was also a major point of contention between the Senate and Governor since the start of pandemic. While longstanding law statutorily appropriates most federal funds subject only to an advisory review by a panel of legislators, or by direct appropriation during a regular session, the significant sums of federal CARES and ARP federal funds were viewed differently by legislators. Chapter 12, article 5, puts in law the essence of the May 17 Global Agreement, including: • Appropriates $425 million (of the $2.8 billion) for a new COVID Flexible Response Account, to be used by the Administration to fund necessary COVID response actions, subject to review by a panel of legislators. A related $75 million for 2021 summer school programs was directly appropriated (a combined $500 million). • Transfers $1.183 billion, which was determined to qualify as ‘revenue loss’ under federal guidance, to the General Fund for government services. These funds were effectively combined with the forecast surplus and incorporated into budget bill targets and appropriations. • Suspends the current law on federal funds spending authority relative to the remaining $1.150 billion of SFSF’s until June 15, 2022, effectively ensuring the legislature has an opportunity to directly appropriate those funds in a subsequent legislative session. FRONT-LINE WORKER PAYMENTS: As summarized in Tax and Fiscal Policy, Chapter 14, Article 11, section 38, 1st SS 2021, sets-aside $250 million of the remaining SFRF’s for compensating front-line workers, including long- term care workers. A nine-member working group is directed to bring forward, by September 6, 2021, recommendations for allocating those funds.

BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Otter Tail County, Minnesota (the "County"), as follows:

1. Recitals.

The County proposes to approve tax abatements in connection with the construction of a Single Family Home (the "Project"). The County proposes to use the abatement for the Project provided for in Minnesota Statutes, Sections 469.1812 through 469.1815 (the "Abatement Law"), from the property taxes to be levied by the County on Parcel Identification Number 20000120073002 (the "Tax Abatement Property").

(a) On this date, the Board held a public hearing on the question of the Abatement, (as defined below) and said hearing was preceded by at least 10 days but not more than 30 days prior published notice thereof at which all interested persons appeared and were heard.

(b) The County proposes to approve tax abatements on a portion of the County's share of property taxes on the Tax Abatement Property in the amount of $5,000 for a term of up to 5 years to finance a portion of the costs of the Project.

2. Findings for the Abatement. The Board hereby makes the following findings:

(a) The tax abatement is the County's share of real estate taxes which relate to the Project being constructed on the Tax Abatement Property and not the real estate taxes that relate to the value of the land (the "Abatement").

(b) The Board expects the benefits to the County of the Abatement to be at least equal or exceed the costs to the County thereof.

(d) The Tax Abatement Property is not located in a tax increment financing district.

(e) In any year, the total amount of property taxes abated by the County by this and other resolutions 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.

3. Terms of Abatement. The Abatement is hereby approved. The terms of the Abatement are as follows:

(a) The Abatement shall be for up to 5 years anticipated to commence for taxes payable 2023 and shall not exceed $5,000. The County reserves the right to modify the commencement date but the abatement period shall not exceed 5 years.
