Michael Moen, one of the property owners, Alex Moen and Josh Moen (the applicants or operators) were present. In addition to the site team members, five citizens signed in for the meeting. Four individuals lived or owned land near the site. There was a letter dated March 24, 2015 read into the record that was received by the Waseca County Planning and Zoning Department on March 27, 2015 from the Pontoppidan Lutheran Church. The church is located across the Steele County line at 9651 SW 75th Street (Ellendale). The concerns expressed in the letter related to the odor that was currently produced by the Buffalo Run Feedlot located to the west of the church and north of the proposed feedlot. The church requested that the owners be required to do anything and everything to reduce the amount of odor generated at the facility.

No other written comments were submitted to the Site Team.

Site Description: 1. The area is located in an area that is surrounded primarily by agricultural farmland with rural farmsteads and small tracts containing single-family homes. The existing Buffalo Run Feedlot, referenced above, is located less than ¼ mile to the northwest of the proposed facility. The above-referenced church is located over ¾ mile to the east of the site.

2. The site for the proposed facility is located on Parcel ID 08.024.0100. The property consists of an 80 acre tract located on 180th Street (the Waseca/Steele County line).

3. There are no cities in the immediate vicinity that would be impacted by the facility.

4. The distances to the closest residences are at least: owner’s home 1,000 feet to the north on parcel 08.013.0700; 1,700 feet to the north along 180th Street; and 2,400 feet to the southwest along 180th Street. The closest surface water is an intermittent stream 1,500 feet to the west that connects to the Little LeSueur River.

Property Owner/Applicant Proposal: The Owners and the Operators are proposing a feedlot that will consist of one 2400 head total confinement finish hog barn with slatted floors and a poured 9’ deep poured concrete pit designed for 12 months storage of liquid manure. 2400 finish hogs are the equivalent of 720 Animal Units (AU). The barn facility will measure 51’ x 392’ and will be curtain ventilated.

Moen FSIT 08.024.0100 Page 2 of 8 Findings of Fact: 1. Zone: This site is located in the Agricultural Protection District. According to the Waseca County Unified Development Code Article 6, Section 8, the new proposed feedlot is a permitted use pursuant to the Feedlot Site Inspection Team or Conditional Use Permit process.

2. Setbacks/Standards: The setbacks that apply to this facility include: a) road centerline: 300’; b) property line: 80’ c) residence (other than the property owner): 1,000’. The site plan shows that all of these setbacks as well as the impervious surface maximum of 25% are met on the currently described 80 acre parcel. The owners/operators have not indicated any intent to subdivide the site from the original parcel. Subdivision or land splits are required to be processed and approved by the Waseca County Planning & Zoning Department under the zoning ordinance subdivision standards.

3. Access: A new driveway is proposed from 180th Street, a County gravel road. Driveway access permits are to be obtained from the Waseca County Highway Department. The 911 address will be assigned in conjunction with that permit.

4. Topography: The site for the facility is fairly flat, however, the remainder of the property has some rolling hills that are farmed.

5. CAFO/Short Form: This facility will not exceed the requirements of a Large Concentrated Animal Feedlot (CAFO) of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. This new feedlot will be processed through the Waseca County Short Form Feedlot Permit, and County Zoning Permits for both the barn and compost structures.

6. Manure Management Plan: The applicants are required to submit a manure management plan meeting local and state requirements for this feedlot to the Waseca County Planning & Zoning Department for review and approval.

7. Well: A new well is proposed for this facility and will need to be located at least 100 feet from feedlot facility.

8. Septic: the applicant is not planning on installing bathroom/shower facilities in the barn.

9. Aesthetics: There were no concerns expressed regarding the appearance of the proposed feedlot.

10. Mortality: Composting was discussed as the method to deal with animal mortality. Zoning Permits are required for compost structures.

Moen FSIT 08.024.0100 Page 3 of 8

Concerns/Comments of the public and FSIT:  Future Expansion: The property owners have indicated that they would consider a second barn at some point in the future. Any expansion would require a Feedlot Site Inspection Team meeting and process.

 Odor: There was some concern expressed about potential additional odor. The Team discussed the use of pit additives and/or a vegetative environmental barrier (VEB).

 Biosecurity: There was some concern related to biosecurity due to the existing Buffalo Run facility located to the northwest of the site.

 Impact on the Water Table: The fact that the facility will be a new large water user in the area was discussed.

 Animal Mortality: How diseased animals were to be disposed of was discussed. Composting was the preferred method for animal disposal.

Action/Recommendations:

By consensus, the Feedlot Site Inspection Team agreed with the following recommendations for this site:

1. Vegetated Environmental Buffer: The owners and/or operators must meet with the Waseca Soil and Water Conservation District and discuss the value of adding trees and other plantings to assist with odor control and snow drifting at the facility.

2. Pit Additives: As long as the feedlot is in operation, the operator shall use pit additive according to the manufacturer’s recommendations for the purpose of reducing odor. The Waseca County Feedlot Officer shall determine the method of proof regarding this condition.

General Conditions:  All standards and requirements of the Waseca County Unified Development Code including Specific Standards for Animal Agriculture (“Feedlot Ordinance”) must be met.  In addition to the requirements of this development ordinance, all uses and development shall comply with all other applicable city, county, state, and federal regulations. This includes but is not limited to (i) Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Rules, Chapter 7020.0100 - 7020.1900, Rules for the Control of Pollution from Animal Feedlots, as amended from time to time, and (ii) Minnesota Statute 169.88 (Financial liability of owner and/or operator of a vehicle that damages public roads).  If a provision of this ordinance conflicts with any other provision of this ordinance, the Waseca County Unified Development Code, or with any other provision of law, the more restrictive provision shall apply, except as otherwise provided.

A public notice was mailed to all landowners on record within one mile of the building site (23 properties) in Waseca County, and was sent to all Freedom Township Officers on March 18, 2015.

The site is located in the NE¼ of the NE¼, Section 13 in Freedom Township of Waseca County. A site team meeting was held for this feedlot proposal according to the Waseca County Unified Development Code, Article 6, Section 6.1 (e) because of the construction of a facility of 200 animal units.

(A signed copy of the Inspection Form is on file in the office of the Waseca County Planning and Zoning Department)

Matt J. Jones (owner) was present. In addition to the site team members, seven citizens signed in for the meeting. There was no written correspondence from any concerned citizen prior to the meeting. And no other written comments were submitted to the Site Team.

2. The site for the proposed facility is located on Parcel to be split from PID 04.013.0100. The parent parcel property consists of an 80 acre tract located on 60th Street.

3. There are no cities in the immediate vicinity that would be impacted by the facility.

4. The distances to the closest residences are at least: 3,660 feet to the east on parcel 11.007.0510; 4,400 feet to the west on parcel 04.013.0700; and 4,100 feet to the south on parcel 11.018.0500. The closest surface water is an intermittent stream 320 feet to the west that connects to County Ditch 36 and then to Bull Run Creek.

Property Owner/Applicant Proposal: The Owners and the Operators are proposing a feedlot that will consist of one 4,000 head (nursery pig), power ventilated, total confinement hog barn with slatted floors and a poured 8’ deep poured concrete pit designed for 12 months storage of liquid manure. 4,000 nursery pigs are the equivalent of 200 Animal Units (AU). The barn facility will measure 102’ x 160’.

Findings of Fact: 1. Zone: This site is located in the Agricultural Protection District. According to the Waseca County Unified Development Code Article 6, Section 8, the new proposed feedlot is a permitted use pursuant to the Feedlot Site Inspection Team or Conditional Use Permit process.

2. Setbacks/Standards and Zoning Ordinance Requirements: The setbacks that apply to this facility include: a) road centerline: 300’; b) property line: 80’ c) residence (other than the property owner): 1,000’ d) wetland: 300’ and e) water course: 300’. The proposed site plan shows that these setbacks as well as the impervious surface maximum of 25% appear to be met on the proposed 7-acre Jones (Armstrong) FSIT 04.013.0100 Page 2 of 6 parcel. In order to split the 7-acre parcel from the current 80-acre parcel and to properly confirm that all setbacks will be met, the current property owner (Armstrongs) must submit a Minor Subdivision application form for approval to the Waseca County Planning & Zoning Department. And, because the 80-acre parcel is enrolled in the Agricultural Preservation Program, and because the Ag Covenant program requires a 35-acre minimum size, the property owner will also need to submit an application to amend the covenant and remove it from the new 7-acre parcel.

3. Access: A new driveway is proposed from 60th Street, a township gravel road. Driveway access permits are to be obtained from Freedom Township. The 911 address will be assigned in conjunction with that permit.

4. Topography: The site for the facility is fairly flat; however, the remainder of the property has a hill that slopes west to a wetland and an intermittent stream.

7. Well: A new well is proposed for this facility and will need to be located at least 100 feet from feedlot facility, and will need to be permitted by the Waseca County Public Health Services Department.

8. Septic: the applicant is planning on installing bathroom/shower facilities in the barn that will need to be permitted by the Waseca County Public Health Services Department.

9. Aesthetics: There were no concerns expressed regarding the appearance of the proposed feedlot.

10. Mortality: Rendering was discussed as the method to deal with animal mortality. The applicant will need to provide plans for the method of animal mortality.

 Vegetated Buffer: The benefits vegetative environmental barrier (VEB) were discussed relative to snow drifting and odor.

Jones (Armstrong) FSIT 04.013.0100 Page 3 of 6  Well and SSTS: The location of the well will need to be 100 feet from the pit. Both the well and the SSTS will need to meet the requirements of the Waseca Public Health Services Department and MN Rules.

 Impact on the Wetland Area: The wetland area to the west of the site was discussed.

 Animal Mortality: How diseased animals were to be disposed of was discussed. Rendering was the preferred method for animal disposal.

Action/Recommendations:

By consensus, the Feedlot Site Inspection Team agreed with the following recommendations for this site:

Property Ownership: At the time of preparation of this Feedlot Site Inspection Team report, the site is currently owned by the Wendell Armstrong Trust. The site must be transferred to Matt Jones (as noted above) prior to construction on the property.

Jones (Armstrong) FSIT 04.013.0100 Page 4 of 6 Feedlot/Property Owner Acknowledgement: I, the undersigned owner of the property described in Exhibit “A”, agree to the follow the recommendations established by the Waseca County Feedlot Site Inspection Team.

WASECA COUNTY REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION

Agenda Item: Purchase of Tactical Shotguns Consent Agenda: XX Yes No Requested Board Date: 05/05/2014 Originating Department(s): Presenter(s): Waseca County Sheriff’s Office Sheriff Brad J. Milbrath

Recommendation/Action(s): Purchase of shotguns

Summary: The Sheriff’s Office is in need of newer and Tactical shotgun for its deputies. The ones that are used now are a mismatch of shotguns that have been forfeited. In order to have consistency and liability for safety in the use of shotguns a department issued shotgun is highly recommended. A bid of $699.25 for a Beretta 1301 tactical semi Auto shotgun was received from Atlantic Tactical Company for a total of $9789.50 for 14 shotguns.

Budget/Financial Consideration: The budget that would be used to pay for the Shotguns would come out of the Forfeit fund which has a balance of $27,459.50 as of 04/24/2015. Also, we would be selling the old weapons we have to a Federal Firearms arms dealer. Roughly figuring we would be getting $1000 for all the weapons.

The Chairperson and the County Auditor-Treasurer are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf of the County, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, such corporation shall be authorized to act as successor Registrar. The County agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges of

3 the Registrar for the services performed. The County reserves the right to remove the Registrar, effective upon not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice and upon the appointment of (and acceptance of such appointment by) a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar shall deliver all cash and Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and shall deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar.

2.06. Registration. The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the County and the Registrar with respect thereto shall be as follows:

(a) Register. The Registrar shall keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in which the Registrar shall provide for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred or exchanged.

(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond duly endorsed by the registered owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing, the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding each interest payment date and until such interest payment date.

(c) Exchange of Bonds. Whenever any Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the registered owner or the owner’s attorney in writing.

(d) Cancellation. All Bonds surrendered upon any transfer or exchange shall be promptly canceled by the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the County.

(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When any Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer, the Registrar may refuse to transfer the same until it is satisfied that the endorsement on such Bond or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized. The Registrar shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized.

(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The County and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name any Bond is at any time registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all other purposes; and all payments made to any registered owner or upon the owner’s order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. For every transfer or exchange of Bonds (except for an exchange upon a partial redemption of a Bond), the Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.

(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. In case any Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of any such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for any Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon furnishing to the Registrar of an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it, in which both the County and the Registrar shall be named as obligees. All Bonds so surrendered to the Registrar shall be canceled by it and evidence of such cancellation shall be given to the County. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for redemption in accordance with its terms it shall not be necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.

(i) Authenticating Agent. The Registrar is hereby designated authenticating agent for the Bonds, within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 1, as amended.

(j) Valid Obligations. All Bonds issued upon any transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the County, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Resolution as the Bonds surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

2.07. Securities Depository. (a) For purposes of this section the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Beneficial Owner” shall mean, whenever used with respect to a Bond, the person in whose name such Bond is recorded as the beneficial owner of such Bond by a Participant on the records of such Participant, or such person’s subrogee.

“Cede & Co.” shall mean Cede & Co., the nominee of DTC, and any successor nominee of DTC with respect to the Bonds.

“DTC” shall mean The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York.

“Participant” shall mean any broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution for which DTC holds Bonds as securities depository.

“Representation Letter” shall mean the Representation Letter pursuant to which the sender agrees to comply with DTC’s Operational Arrangements.

(b) The Bonds shall be initially issued as separately authenticated fully registered bonds, and one Bond shall be issued in the principal amount of each stated maturity of the Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such Bonds shall be registered in the bond register in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. The Registrar and the County may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of or interest on the Bonds, selecting the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, if any, giving any notice permitted or required to be given to registered owners of Bonds under this resolution, registering the transfer of Bonds, and for all other purposes whatsoever; and neither the Registrar nor the County shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Registrar nor the County shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds under or through DTC or any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the bond register as being a registered owner of any Bonds, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant, with respect to the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount with respect to the principal of or interest on the Bonds, with respect to any notice which is permitted or required to be given to owners of Bonds under this resolution, with respect to the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or with respect to any consent given or other action taken by DTC as registered owner of the Bonds. So long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the Registrar shall pay all principal of and interest on such Bond, and shall give all notices with respect to such Bond, only to Cede & Co. in accordance with DTC’s Operational Arrangements, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the County’s obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC shall receive an authenticated Bond for each separate stated maturity evidencing the obligation of the County to make payments of principal and interest. Upon delivery by DTC to the Registrar of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the Bonds will be transferable to such new nominee in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.

(c) In the event the County determines that it is in the best interest of the Beneficial Owners that they be able to obtain Bonds in the form of bond certificates, the County may notify DTC and the Registrar, whereupon DTC shall notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of Bonds in the form of certificates. In such event, the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof. DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the County and the Registrar and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event the Bonds will be transferable in accordance with paragraph (e) hereof.

(d) The execution and delivery of the Representation Letter to DTC by the Chairperson or County Auditor-Treasurer, if not previously filed with DTC, is hereby authorized and directed.

(e) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Bonds is permitted under paragraph (b) or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Registrar of the Bonds to be transferred or exchanged and appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted transferee in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. In the event Bonds in the form of certificates are issued to owners other than Cede & Co., its successor as nominee for DTC as owner of all the Bonds, or another securities depository as owner of all the Bonds, the provisions of this resolution shall also apply to all matters relating thereto, including, without limitation, the printing of such Bonds in the form of bond certificates and the method of payment of principal of and interest on such Bonds in the form of bond certificates.

2.08. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the direction of the County Auditor-Treasurer and shall be executed on behalf of the County by the signatures of the Chairperson and the County Auditor-Treasurer, provided that the signatures may be printed, engraved or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of any Bond, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, no Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on each Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this Resolution. When the Bonds have been prepared, executed and authenticated, the County Auditor-Treasurer shall deliver them to the Purchaser upon payment of the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore executed, and the Purchaser shall not be obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.

2.09. Form of Bonds. The Bonds shall be prepared in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

SECTION 3. USE OF PROCEEDS. There is hereby established on the official books and records of the County a General Obligation State Aid Road Bonds, Series 2015A Construction Fund (the Construction Fund), which shall continue to be maintained until payment of all costs and expenses incurred in construction of the Projects to be financed by the Bonds. To the Construction Fund there shall be credited $______of the proceeds of the Bonds and from the Construction Fund there shall be paid capital costs incurred by the County in the construction of the Projects and costs of issuance of the Bonds. Any Bond proceeds not needed for the foregoing purpose shall be transferred to the General Obligation State Aid Road Bonds, Series 2015A Debt Service Fund established in Section 4 hereof.

SECTION 4. GENERAL OBLIGATION STATE AID ROAD BONDS, SERIES 2015A DEBT SERVICE FUND. There is hereby created and shall be maintained on the official books and records of the County a General Obligation State Aid Road Bonds, Series 2015A Debt Service Fund (the Debt Service Fund), the moneys in which shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. From the proceeds of the Bonds, the amount of $______

7 shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund. There is hereby irrevocably appropriated to the Debt Service Fund, out of moneys allotted and to be allotted to the County from its account in the County State Aid Road Fund of the State of Minnesota, such amount as shall be sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when due, on the dates and in the amounts as follows:

Interest payable on Interest payable on Principal Principal Year Amount April 1 October 1 Year Amount April 1 October 1

2016 2021 2017 2022 2018 2023 2019 2024 2020 2025

The County Auditor-Treasurer shall follow the procedure set forth in Minnesota Statutes, Section 162.181, Subdivision 4, for obtaining such funds. If at any time the moneys in the Debt Service Fund should be insufficient to pay all principal and interest due on the Bonds, the Auditor- Treasurer shall nevertheless pay the same from any moneys on hand in the general fund of the County, and the moneys so used shall be restored to the general fund from the moneys next received by the County from the Construction or Maintenance Account in the County State Aid Road Fund of the State of Minnesota, which are not required for the payment of additional principal and interest, or from the proceeds of taxes levied pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

SECTION 5. PLEDGE OF TAXING POWERS. For the prompt and full payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds as such payments respectively become due, the full faith, credit and unlimited taxing powers of the County shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. However, it is estimated that the State Aid Road allotments appropriated for the payment of such principal and interest in Section 4 hereof will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due, and accordingly no tax is levied at this time. However, if an actual or anticipated deficiency should arise in the receipt of such allotments, the County shall levy an ad valorem tax upon all taxable property in the County in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, in an amount sufficient to eliminate the actual or anticipated deficiency.

SECTION 6. DEFEASANCE. When all of the Bonds have been discharged as provided in this section, all pledges, covenants and other rights granted by this resolution to the registered owners of the Bonds shall cease. The County may discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds which are due on any date by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full, or, if any Bond should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full with interest accrued from the due date to the date of such deposit. The County may also discharge its obligations with respect to any prepayable Bonds called for redemption on any date when they are prepayable according to their terms by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date an amount equal to the principal, interest and redemption premium, if any, which are then due, provided that notice of such redemption has been duly given as provided herein. The

County may also at any time discharge its obligations with respect to any Bonds, subject to the provisions of law now or hereafter authorizing and regulating such action, by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a bank or trust company qualified by law as an escrow agent for this purpose, cash or securities which are authorized by law to be so deposited, bearing interest payable at such time and at such rates and maturing or callable at the holder’s option on such dates as shall be required to pay all principal and interest to become due thereon to maturity or earlier designated redemption date, provided, however, that if such deposit is made more than ninety days before the maturity date or specified redemption date of the Bonds to be discharged, the County shall have received a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such deposit does not adversely affect the exemption of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes and a written report of an accountant or investment banking firm verifying that the deposit is sufficient to pay when due all of the principal and interest on the Bonds to be discharged on and before their maturity dates or earlier designated redemption date.

SECTION 7. TAX COVENANTS; ARBITRAGE MATTERS AND CONTINUING DISCLOSURE.

7.01. Covenant. The County covenants and agrees with the owners from time to time of the Bonds, that it will not take, or permit to be taken by any of its officers, employees or agents, any action which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become includable in gross income of the recipient under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the Code) and applicable Treasury Regulations (the Regulations), and covenants to take any and all affirmative actions within its powers to ensure that the interest on the Bonds will not become includable in gross income of the recipient under the Code and the Regulations. The County represents and covenants that all improvements to be financed from the proceeds of the Bonds are and will be owned and operated by the County and available for use by members of the general public on a substantially equal basis. The County has not entered and will not enter into any lease, management contract, operating agreement, use agreement or other contract relating to the use, operation or maintenance of the Projects or any part thereof which would cause the Bonds to be considered “private activity bonds” or “private loan bonds” pursuant to Section 141 of the Code.

7.02. Arbitrage Certification. The Chairperson and County Auditor-Treasurer being the officers of the County charged with the responsibility for issuing the Bonds pursuant to this Resolution, are authorized and directed to execute and deliver to the Purchaser a certificate in accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Code and applicable Regulations, stating that on the basis of facts, estimates and circumstances in existence on the date of issue and delivery of the Bonds, it is reasonably expected that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used in a manner that would cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of the Code and the applicable Regulations.

7.03. Arbitrage Rebate Exemption. (a) It is hereby found that the County has general taxing powers, that no Bond is a “private activity bond” within the meaning of Section 141 of the Code, that 95% or more of the net proceeds of the Bonds are to be used for local governmental activities of the County, and that the aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt obligations (other than private activity bonds) issued by the County and all subordinate entities thereof during the year 2015 is not reasonably expected to exceed $5,000,000. Therefore, pursuant to Section

148(f)(4)(D) of the Code, the County shall not be required to comply with the arbitrage rebate requirements of paragraphs (2) and (3) of Section 148(f) of the Code.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 7.03, if the arbitrage rebate provisions of Section 148(f) of the Code apply to the Bonds, the County hereby covenants and agrees to make the determinations, retain records, and rebate to the United States the amounts at the times and in the manner required by said Sections 148(f) and applicable Regulations.

7.04. Qualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Board hereby designates the Bonds as “qualified tax-exempt obligations” for purposes of Section 265(b)(3) of the Code relating to the disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions, and hereby finds that the reasonably anticipated amount of tax-exempt obligations which are not private activity bonds (not treating qualified 501(c)(3) bonds under Section 145 of the Code as private activity bonds for the purpose of this representation) and are not excluded from this calculation by Section 265(b)(3)(C)(ii) of the Code which will be issued by the County and all subordinate entities during calendar year 2015 does not exceed $10,000,000.

7.05. Reimbursement. The County certifies that the proceeds of the Bonds will not be used by the County to reimburse itself for any expenditure with respect to the Projects which the County paid or will have paid more than 60 days prior to the issuance of the Bonds unless, with respect to such prior expenditures, the County shall have made a declaration of official intent which complies with the provisions of Section 1.150-2 of the Regulations; provided that a declaration of official intent shall not be required (i) with respect to certain de minimis expenditures, if any, with respect to the Projects meeting the requirements of Section 1.150- 2(f)(1) of the Regulations, or (ii) with respect to “preliminary expenditures” for the Projects as defined in Section 1.150-2(f)(2) of the Regulations, including engineering or architectural expenses and similar preparatory expenses, which in the aggregate do not exceed 20% of the “issue price” of the Bonds.

7.06. Continuing Disclosure. (a) Limited Exemption from Rule. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has promulgated amendments to Rule 15c2-12 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 C.F.R. § 240.15c2-12) (as in effect and interpreted from time to time, the “Rule”) which govern the obligations of certain underwriters to require that issuers of municipal obligations enter into contracts for the benefit of the holders of the obligations to provide continuing disclosure with respect to the obligations. The Board hereby finds, determines and declares that the Bonds are exempt from the application of paragraph (b)(5) of the Rule because the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds is under $1,000,000. In making such finding, the County hereby represents that it has not issued within the six months before the date of issuance of the Bonds and that it reasonably expects that it will not issue within six months after the date of issuance of the Bonds, other securities of the County of substantially the same security and providing financing for the same general purpose or purposes as the Bonds. The County has agreed to provide certain continuing disclosure as hereinafter provided.

(b) Purpose and Beneficiaries. To provide for the public availability of certain information relating to the Bonds and the security therefor, which will enhance the marketability

10 of the Bonds, the County hereby makes the covenants and agreements contained in this section for the benefit of the Owners (as hereinafter defined) from time to time of the outstanding Bonds. If the County fails to comply with any provisions of this section, any person aggrieved thereby, including the Owners of any outstanding Bonds, may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or appropriate to enforce performance and observance of any agreement or covenant contained in this section, including an action for specific performance or a writ of mandamus. Direct, indirect, consequential and punitive damages shall not be recoverable for any default hereunder to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall a default under this section constitute a default under the Bonds or under any other provision of this resolution. As used in this section, “Owner” means, in respect of an Bond, the registered owner or owners thereof appearing in the bond register maintained by the Registrar or any “Beneficial Owner” (as hereinafter defined) thereof, if such Beneficial Owner provides to the Registrar evidence of such beneficial ownership in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar. As used herein, “Beneficial Owner” means, in respect of an Bond, any person or entity which (i) has the power, directly or indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, such Bond (including persons or entities holding Bonds through nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or (ii) is treated as the owner of the Bond for federal income tax purposes.

(c) Information To Be Disclosed. The County will provide, in the manner set forth below, either directly or indirectly through an agent designated by the County, the following information at the following times:

(e) Term; Amendments; Interpretation. The covenants of the County in this section shall remain in effect so long as any Bonds are outstanding. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, the obligations of the County under this section shall terminate and be without further effect as of any date on which the County delivers to the Registrar an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that, because of legislative action or final judicial or administrative actions or proceedings, the failure of the County to comply with the requirements of this section will not cause participating underwriters in the primary offering of the Bonds to be in violation of the Rule or other applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any statutes or laws successory thereto or amendatory thereof. This section may be amended or supplemented by the County from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Owners of any Bonds, by a resolution of the Board filed in the office of the recording officer of the County accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel, who may rely on Bonds of the County and others and the opinion may be subject to customary qualifications, to the effect that: (i) such amendment or supplement (a) is made in connection with a change in circumstances that arises from a change in law or regulation or a change in the identity, nature or status of the County or the type of operations conducted by the County, or (b) is required by, or better complies with, the provisions of the Rule; (ii) this section as so amended or supplemented would have complied with the requirements of the Rule at the time of the primary offering of the Bonds, giving effect to any change in circumstances applicable under clause (i)(a) and assuming that the Rule as in effect and interpreted at the time of the amendment or supplement was in effect at the time of the primary offering; and (iii) such amendment or supplement does not materially impair the interests of the Owners under the Rule.

Below Conditional Use Permit 09.023.0700 May 5, 2015 Page 6 of 9

8. The proposed facility is located in St. Mary Township. The site is just over two miles from the western edge of the City of Waseca and about 2,000 lineal feet south of U.S. Highway 14. The Waseca Airport is over one mile north of the site. The uses in the vicinity are primarily agriculture in nature. There are a number of residences in the township with the bulk of the homes on larger farm sites. There is a residential subdivision known as Oak Haven Estates located 2,200 lineal feet to the west of the proposed feedlot. Justin Below has a residence within 1,000 feet of the site. The next nearest home is approximately 1,850 feet to the west of the new feedlot site (1,500 feet from an existing feedlot). The main trunk of County Ditch 45 is less than a mile to the northwest of the site. This ditch drains to an un-named stream ditch that empties into the Le Sueur River. Both the un-named stream and the Le Sueur River are protected watercourses.

9. The existing operation consists of 3 cattle barns, 2 cattle lots, an earthen liquid manure storage basin and three total confinement barns. The building site is on 3 parcels. The proposed new barn will be located on parcel 09.023.0700, an 80 acre parcel on the north side of County Road 9, where all three of the existing hog barns are located. The site is registered for 1125 cattle and 6000 hogs. Total Animal Units for the site is 2925 (1125 slaughter steer/stock cow at 1.0 AU=1125, + 6000 finish hogs at 0.3 AU = 1800). The west barn is a gestation barn and the east barn is a farrowing barn. The gestation barn is on top of a poured concrete deep pit for storage of liquid manure. The farrowing barn uses a shallow pull plug pit system. They also utilize a hoop structure to compost mortality. This feedlot is split by County Road 9, with the cattle on the south side and the hogs on the north. Although there are structures on opposite sides of the road it is still considered one feedlot. The closest city is Waseca, about 2.05 miles to the northeast. The closest neighboring residences are on parcel 09.027.0105 about 1100 feet west and on parcel 09.026.0100 of the feedlot.

10. Waseca County Feedlot Site Team inspected the site, held a meeting on December 1, 2014 and reached consensus that the request met the requirements, and that no additional conditions were recommended.

11. Because this feedlot expansion would result in a total of 3,525 animal units, the proposal is also required to complete the Waseca County Conditional Use Permit Process as per the Waseca County Unified Development Code, Article 6 Zoning District Regulations, Section 6 Specific Standards for Animal Agriculture (“Feedlot Ordinance”): “All sites three thousand (3,000) animal units or larger shall obtain County Feedlot Site Inspection Team inspection and a Conditional Use Permit.”

12. The public hearing was held by the Waseca County Planning Commission on April 9, 2015. The public hearing was opened at 7:40 p.m. and closed at 7:50 p.m. Justin Below, applicant, was present and explained his proposal. There were approximately 12 members of the public in attendance. There were no public comments made.

13. The Planning Commission discussed the provisions of the Waseca County Unified Development Code which are applicable to this request, the proposed conditions and criteria which are incorporated in these Findings by reference. The analysis of criteria incorporated in these Findings also addresses particular issues pertinent to this site. In addition, the following issues were considered and revisions made to the proposed conditions where appropriate.

Windbreak: Previous Feedlot Site Inspection Team in 2006 condition to establish a vegetative barrier: A tree windbreak around the facility will be required to be installed and maintained. Producer will work with the Waseca Soil & Water Conservation District to determine type and number of trees. Additionally in 2008 the following condition was placed: Either a vegetated screen or pit additive shall be used. The vegetative screen, if chosen, shall be planted by the fall of 2009 and properly maintained as long as the building is used as a feedlot. Leiferman noted that the 2008 condition is being fulfilled by the use of pit additives. The 2006 condition does not provide this option therefore the operator will either need to establish the windbreak or apply for a conditional use permit to have the condition removed per Waseca County UDC, Article 6, Section 6.1 (e) (i).

Justin Below stated that the new types of pit additives are also beneficial in regards to manure management when manure is applied because the additives help with fertilizer by holding nitrogen.

14. The Planning Commission discussed various circumstances where vegetative buffers may be beneficial. In this case, the Planning Commission concurred that the pit additives have addressed odor problems. The Odor OFFSET model was included in the staff report regarding percentage of odor annoyance free time. Malterer made motion and Pearson seconded to eliminate the requirement for a vegetative buffer from the 2006 Feedlot Site Inspection Team Report because the operator’s continued use of pit additives mitigates the odor concern. Motion carried unanimously.

15. Commission member Malterer made motion and member Armstrong seconded to approve the analysis of the criteria as discussed and contained in the staff report. Motion carried unanimously.

16. Commission member Malterer made motion and member Pearson seconded to recommend approval of the conditional use permit request as discussed and amended with 7 (seven) conditions as included in these Findings. Motion carried unanimously.

17. A copy of the staff report, attachments, and exhibits were provided to the Board of Commissioners electronically as a part of the Waseca County website agenda for their meeting of May 5, 2015. This information is incorporated into these Findings by reference. Below Conditional Use Permit 09.023.0700 May 5, 2015 Page 8 of 9

Schlaak Conditional Use Permit 07.005.1250 May 5, 2015 Page 5 of 10

Zoning Office. The above listed application and supporting documents are incorporated into these Findings by reference. The Planning & Zoning Administrator notified the applicant and extended review of this application an additional 60 as per Minnesota Statute

4. On March 25, 2015, the Planning and Zoning Office notified 35 owners of nearby properties and all of the Township Officers as per requirements of the Unified Development Code for the public hearing scheduled for April 9, 2015 by first-class mail. (The UDC prescribes mailing notice to owners of record within one-quarter (1/4) mile of the affected property, or to the ten (10) properties nearest the property under consideration, whichever would provide notice to the greatest number of owners. The Feedlot Site Inspection Team notice as per the UDC prescribes mailing to property owners within five thousand (5,000) feet of the perimeter of the proposed feedlot. The Planning & Zoning Department sent notice regarding the Conditional Use Permit request to property owners within 5,000 feet of the perimeter of the proposed feedlot in order to keep consistent with the FSIT mailing. The Affidavits of mailing are included in the file and are incorporated herein by reference.

5. On April 2, 2015, Mark Leiferman, Planning & Zoning Administrator, sent the staff report to the members of the Waseca County Planning Commission by first-class mail regarding the application and accompanying documents. This staff report is incorporated in these Findings by reference and can also be viewed at this link on the county website http://www.co.waseca.mn.us/AgendaCenter for the April 9 Planning Commission public hearing. Attachments included: a. Staff analysis of criteria, b. Recommended conditions, if granting, c. Application materials as submitted and documented.

6. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the Waseca County Zoning Map designate this area as A-1 Agricultural Preservation for agricultural land uses.

7.

Schlaak Conditional Use Permit 07.005.1250 May 5, 2015 Page 6 of 10

8. The proposed facility is located on the north side of New Richland Township. The uses in the vicinity are primarily agriculture in nature. There are a number of residences in the township with the bulk of the homes on larger farm sites. The closest home is approximately 1,600 feet to the northeast of the site. The site of this request (hereinafter Parcel A- PID 07.005.1250) is 15.5 acres in size and is currently unimproved and used for crop production. There is a Canadian Pacific Railway (Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad) railroad right-of-way to the east of the site.

9. Waseca County Feedlot Site Team inspected the site and held a meeting on February 18, 2015. That report is contained within the staff report for the conditional use permit and is incorporated in these Findings by reference.

The FSIT report contains specific information about the site and the team’s review, along with the Odor OFFSET model.  This facility is located in the Agricultural Protection District. According to the Waseca County UDC Article 6, Section 8, this new feedlot is a permitted use pursuant to the FSIT or CUP process.  The setbacks that apply here are: road centerline: 300’, property line: 80’, residence other than owner: 1,000’. The site plan shows that all of these are met.  Access will be from 260th Avenue a Township Road.  The site is fairly flat. It does not appear that there will be any significant disruption of surface drainage.  The site plan shows that the surface water will run into a large yard area with a permanent vegetated surface.  The applicant does not own any other feedlots in the area.  This feedlot will be permitted by Waseca County with a Construction Short Form and not a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit because it does not meet the Environmental Protection Agency definition of a Large Concentrated Animal Feedlot Operation (CAFO) that exceeds 2,500 swine weighing 55 pounds or more.  The feedlot applicant intends, but is not required, to apply and incorporate the manure on his land. A manure management plan is required.  One new driveway is proposed from 260th Avenue on the east side of the barn.  A new well will be located 100 feet south of the proposed barn.  Septic: the applicant is not considering a bathroom/shower facilities at the barn.  Aesthetics: There were no concerns about the appearance of the feedlot.  Mortality: The applicant plans to install a compost facility on the site.  The impervious area of this project, based on the plan, was calculated to be less than 10% The FSIT had not reached consensus and, therefore, the applicants’ request was required to proceed through the CUP process as per the Unified Development Code.

10. The public hearing for the Conditional Use Permit request was held by the Waseca County Planning Commission on April 9, 2015. The public hearing was opened at 8:35 p.m. and closed at 9:00 p.m. Keith Schlaak, applicant, was present and explained his proposal. There were approximately 12 members of the public in attendance.

11. Summary of public comments made by Sandy Walstrom, Dave Nazarenus, Kevin Miller, Jeff Keogh, Mike Prescher, Garry Walstrom (with county findings in parenthesis):  Recommend increase setback to ½ mile from feedlot to residence (current code setback is 1,000 ft)  Recommend consideration given to existing feedlots when permitting new ones.(current code setback is 500 ft to adjacent feedlot)  Recommend applicant look for a more appropriate location  Questioned if existing lot owners would be able to expand with a feedlot in this location (need to refer to existing code requirements)  Concern with spread of disease and biosecurity (Staff provided information from MN Department of Animal Health and April 8, 2015 emailed comment from Greg Suskovic, DVM, MN Board of Animal Health as follows: “Biosecurity wise it’s always smarter to build further away from an existing unit but really for a finishing barn I don’t think the distance between these two finishing units would be a risk. Probably the main way of bringing disease onto these sites would be human traffic or pigs coming in. If one barn developed a disease normal biosecure traffic control (both human and machine) could potentially prevent spread. Of course the effectiveness of that would depend on the infectivity and virulence of the pathogen. These are just my opinions as a veterinarian not those of the MN Board of Animal Health.”  Manure Management information on location where manure will be distributed (Manure Management Plans are to be submitted by approval by Waseca County.)  Concern for potential road repair issues. (Condition addresses this concern)  Concern that property values may decline because of proximity to feedlots. (Mark Vagts, Waseca County Assessor indicated that: “Waseca County does not adjust values or reduce values of residential properties near feedlot sites.”)  Concern regarding odor, and the desire to require pit additives to control odor, require the addition of a wind break on the north and west sides of the facility, and/or have odor tested/monitored. (Conditions proposed to address odor concerns)  Animal mortality, suggested use of a compost structure be included in the plan. (approved methods of handling animal mortality are a typical part of feedlot permit approvals.)
