Todd County has demonstrated leadership in the area of senior nutrition by developing and

implementing a “bundled services” program which delivers meals, books and other necessary items

to seniors who may otherwise not have such access. Unfortunately, the facility that the current

bundled services program comes out of is incapable of producing any more meals or serving any

more customers/clients given space constraints. This proposed facility would serve as a long term

hub to provide bundled senior services, with space allowed to grow with the aging population of

Todd County.

Todd County strongly values the ability of our senior citizens to live a full and active lifestyle.

Even though we are a rural area, we find it to be extraordinarily important that our seniors have

access to education and healthy living opportunities for mind and body. Our senior citizens have

taken it upon themselves to plan, in cooperation with the County and the Initiative Foundation, for

such opportunities including development of senior technology instruction, support of the County’s

broadband initiative and partnering to develop youth retention and community building plans.

In a rural community, it is exceptionally important that we work together as a community to build

and maintain strong support structures for each other. We strongly believe that Todd County’s

senior citizen population has a lot that they are willing and able to offer but unfortunately we

remain without adequate facilities to coordinate from. Our seniors believe in our communities and

have skills and abilities to share and this project would give us the foundations to rally our inherent

resources.

The primary focus of this project on its surface relates to our senior citizens, but our senior citizens

are very intelligent and open minded people with great ideas. It is anticipated that this facility will

not only serve our senior citizens but our farmers, by being a certified and licensed facility for the

distribution of locally grown foods (foods which will also be included in senior meals). This

facility will also serve as a community hub for the City of Eagle Bend and surrounding areas,

hopefully drawing in advanced educational opportunities from our nearby technical and community

colleges and community education programs.

Given the right facilities and support our seniors can be a strong force in our community, providing

stability, information, advice, support and guidance but we must support them as well. This project

is vital to the ongoing stability of Todd County, and vital to the lives of many senior citizens in the

Todd County Community.

b. For new construction projects, identify the new square footage planned.

c. For remodeling, renovation or expansion projects, identify the total square footage of current

facilities, the square footage to be renovated, and/or the new square footage to be added.

The County is not committed to a new facility or renovation option. It is expected that in

partnership with the Todd County Council on Aging, the City of Eagle Bend, the Regional

Development Commission and the Todd County Development Corporation, that a suitable building

or renovation site will be determined by the end of 2011. The County currently has grant funding

to develop a business plan to ensure the continued operations and long term fiscal solvency of the

facility and services provided from the facility as well as design and develop the facility itself.

Once firm plans have been approved by the appropriate governing bodies, further information will

be sent to the State for consideration. It is anticipated that the facility will be approximately 7000

square feet with an industrial kitchen, several meeting rooms and a great hall.

The new building will be designed to meet the following criteria:

Exceed the state energy code by at least 30 percent

Focus on achieving the lowest possible lifetime costs

Encourage continual energy conservation improvements

Include air quality and lighting standards

Create and maintain a healthy environment

Facilitate productivity improvements

Specify ways to reduce material costs

Consider the long-term operating costs of the building including the use of renewable

energy sources and distributed electric energy generation that uses a renewable source

or natural gas or a fuel that is as clean or cleaner than natural gas.

Our goal is to use sustainable building designs to meet the Minnesota Sustainable

Building Guidelines. A truly sustainable building is one that respects the site, inhabitants,

and the environment. The design strategy will aspire to construct fully self-sufficient

buildings. Our conservation ethic will emphasize healthy human environments and eco-

friendly, durable materials. Careful balance of costs and benefits will ensure

Environmental Sustainability, Human Sustainability, and Financial Sustainability

Serving Local Communities in Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena Counties.

5 Counties, One Vision, One Source!

September 22, 2011

Dear Mr. Burkett & the Todd County Council on Aging;

I am writing in response to your proposal for the Development of the Business Plan as it

relates to the County-Wide Senior Services Center in Eagle Bend, Minnesota.

The Region Five Development Commission is a political subdivision devoted to assisting

local governments, development organizations, and community leaders in Central

Minnesota who are working to build and improve their communities. We provide high

quality, professional planning and development services through collaboration,

assistance and coordination with local units of government, organizations, and citizens.

Our principal objective is to enhance the vitality and quality of life in Cass, Crow Wing,

Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties.

Because the Eagle Bend Senior Citizens project is a county-wide project, I feel that our

organization is well suited to develop a plan with a wide and encompassing focus. We

frequently write plans and proposals, and prefer those that serve the community at

large. We recently completed a Regional business plan with a distribution focus that

included a five-year operating budget and an operations strategic plan. This plan was

the result of months of research and development including needs and impacts

evaluations.

Region Five’s consultants typically bill at a rate of 50.00/hour and would expect to work

approximately 100 hours on this type of plan. We expect to contract with Kim Burkett

from Burkett Consulting on this work, and I have attached both our biographies to this

request.

Thank you for your consideration of this application, and we look forward to the

opportunity to work with you.

Sincerely,

Cheryal Lee Hills

Executive Director

PROCLAMATION FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE FOR TODD COUNTY

WHEREAS, Our homes should be a place of warmth, love, tranquility, and security, and for most of us, home and family can indeed be counted among our greatest blessings;

WHEREAS, domestic violence is a serious crime that terrorizes one’s home which affects people, regardless of race, age, religion, income level gender or occupation, and is happening in Todd County;

WHEREAS, The crime of domestic violence violates an individual’s privacy, dignity, security, safety, and humanity, due to the systematic use of physical, emotional, sexual, psychological, and economic control or abuse;

WHEREAS, Domestic violence costs the nation between $8 billion and $10 billion annually in medical expenses, police and court costs, shelters and foster care, sick leave, absenteeism, and loss of productivity; and here in Todd County has affected over 150 men, women and children during the past year;

WHEREAS, Only a coordinated community effort will put a stop to this crime; therefore a coalition of organizations including law enforcement officials, shelter providers, victim services, health care providers, the clergy and concerned citizens has emerged to directly confront this crisis;

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, In recognition of the important work done by domestic violence programs, we the commissioners of Todd County do hereby proclaim the month of October 2011 as Domestic Violence Awareness Month and urge all citizens to work with Hands of Hope Resource Center in eliminating domestic violence in our communities.

Dear Todd County Commissioners:

As you may remember, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. During October, Hands of Hope is working towards increasing public awareness of the violence that is happening in homes right here in Todd County. In 2010 alone, Hands of Hope staff in Todd County worked with 150 new victims of Domestic Violence, 87 of them being female, 5 were male and 58 were children under the age of 18.

People that are victims of Domestic Violence reside in each of your respective districts. It is important that we are all aware of the dynamics that surround this frightening issue, so that we can all do our part in ending this senseless tragedy happening in our homes.

Enclosed is a Proclamation taking a stand against domestic violence. As leaders in our communities and county, I ask that you will please sign the proclamation and take a stand against violence in your neighborhoods. Your cooperation and concern in the fight against domestic violence in our county is greatly appreciated.

If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us at {320} 732-2319 .

Sincerely,

Connie Nelson

A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING APPROVING AMENDMENT OF THE SOUTH COUNTRY HEALTH ALLIANCE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT

RESOLVED, by the Commissioners of Todd County, that this county approves the further amendment of the Fourth Amended Joint Powers Agreement of South Country Health Alliance, amending Sections 5 and 12.3 so that those respective sections will read as follows:

Section 5: MEMBER CAPITAL SURPLUS

Each Member has an explicit and measurable right to its share of the Total Capital Surplus, determined as follows:

SCHA’s total Capital Surplus will be determined, audited and reported to the responsible regulatory agencies of the State of Minnesota as of the end of each calendar year. Each Member’s capital account will consist of an amount that a Member has contributed, plus its share of gains and losses posted to the Member’s capital account, less any distributions.

Gains and losses are allocated annually by taking each Member’s member months (or utilization by member) divided by total member months (or total utilization) for all Members and multiplying the result by the excess of revenues over expenses and the change in non-admitted assets in the financial statements that were audited by a certified public accountant. This calculation will be performed using statements in accordance with Statutory Accounting Principles consistent with the method used to report financial results to the responsible regulatory agencies of the State of Minnesota.

[Section 12: WITHDRAWAL . . .]

12.3. Payment of Surplus to Withdrawing County

Any withdrawing Member County is entitled to receive its Capital Surplus, determined as set forth in Section 5 above. The Member County's specific capital account shall become available for withdrawal after the annual financial statements have been issued and filed with the State of Minnesota, when such capital accounts shall be determined. Such payments of Capital Surplus may, at the option of SCHA, be:

(a) Made in one lump sum, without interest, within thirty days after determination of the amount of such Capital Surplus; or

(b) In equal payments of principal, not less than annually, over a period of time not to exceed five years, together with simple interest established at the outset at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate commencing on January 1 of the year when the withdrawal became effective, and paid to date with each installment of principal.

A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMMITMENTS IN THE SOUTH COUNTRY HEALTH ALLIANCE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, Todd County is a member of South Country Health Alliance (“SCHA”), an eleven-county joint powers board established for the purpose of providing healthcare and related benefits to eligible residents of its member counties;

WHEREAS, SCHA’s member counties have provided county guarantees, to protect against losses by SCHA;

WHEREAS, such guarantees are permitted under Minnesota law to be provided in lieu of certain capitalization requirements applicable to HMOs;

WHEREAS, the member counties of SCHA have never withdrawn or repudiated their guarantees;

WHEREAS, the success of SCHA depends on receiving adequate rates from the State to pay providers and other expenses, and past rating decisions by the State several years ago failed to fully reimburse such costs, costing SCHA many millions of dollars;

WHEREAS, SCHA’s member counties have continued to be committed to SCHA and demonstrated that recommitment, by

a. not exercising an option available to member counties to opt-out for 2012; and

b. through the SCHA board, entering into contract amendments with the State of Minnesota for continued operations during the government shutdown, without any assurance that the legislature would appropriate adequate funds for amounts past due to SCHA, or adequate funds for continued operations;

WHEREAS, a regulatory agency of the State of Minnesota has requested evidence of the member counties’ continued commitment to the goals and purposes of South Country Health Alliance;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that this county reaffirms its commitment to the continued operation and success of South County Health Alliance, including meeting all applicable capitalization requirements of Minnesota law, at such time or times as required under that law.

MEMO To: South Country Member County Boards From: Leota Lind, Interim CEO Date: September 28, 2011 Re: Board Resolution Message: At the 9/26/11 South Country Health Alliance Joint Powers Board meeting, information was provided to the JPB members regarding communication from the Minnesota Department of Health requesting South Country Health Alliance submit a plan to meet the Risk Based Capital Target of 175% at 12/31/11. This plan is to include board resolutions from the member counties. Risk based capital for 12/31/11 will be calculated upon completing the 2011 year end financials. Given the change in County Board membership, this resolution serves to demonstrate the current Board’s acknowledgement of the existing county guarantee. A draft resolution is attached. Representatives from South Country Health Alliance will be available at the October 4th Board meeting to provide additional information. County Board resolutions are to be returned to South Country Health Alliance by October 27th, 2011. Please submit to Andrea Mohammad at [email protected] or 110 West Fremont, Owatonna, MN 55060. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A TODD COUNTY BOARD POLICY POSITION ON SOUTH COUNTRY HEALTH ALLIANCE OPERATIONS

WHEREAS, Todd County is a member of South Country Health Alliance (SCHA), and;

WHEREAS, the Todd County Board of Commissioners strongly supports the concept of county based purchasing, and believes that SCHA has the capacity to be a financially stable health plan, providing excellent outcomes for our shared customers, and;

WHEREAS, the Todd County Board of Commissioners is concerned about the long term financial viability of SCHA and wants to encourage member county boards, the joint powers board and staff to work collaboratively with state agencies to move forward toward financial stability and a strong mission focus.

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Todd County Board of Commissioners suggests the following policy positions with regards to South Country, as a starting point for discussion, and suggests that member counties and the joint powers board develop a short term, measurable plan of action in collaboration with state agencies:

Establish a committee tasked to evaluate the governance, committee and communications model of SCHA, with each county assigning a member, who should be staff or commissioner other than their joint powers board appointee.

Hold a meeting with county staff that works most closely with SCHA to discuss methods that SCHA could implement to increase administrative efficiency, provide a report outlining the desired changes, and implement an action plan to enact those changes.

Assign the finance committee to review financial projections dating back to 2007, to develop a more appropriate and consistent model of financial reporting, and to determine if it would be advantageous to seek alternative actuarial services.

Ensure that the search process for the CEO brings forth a leader who is committed to an honest evaluation of SCHA management practices and implementation of subsequent changes, who will have immediate credibility with state partners and county boards.

Improve collaboration with state staff by holding an open discussion with state staff, joint powers board, SCHA staff and health and human services directors, specifically requesting candor from the state staff as to how we can involve them, and ease their concerns about the long term viability of SCHA.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the preceding is intended to start a collaborative discussion about the course of SCHA, the Todd County Board is primarily seeking establishment of a clear and widely supported short term plan of action that may include any or none of the suggestions, and that the Todd County Board of Commissioners reserves their right to alter their policy positions to align with an appropriately developed plan of action supported by the joint powers board.

September 30, 2011 To: Todd County Board From: Michael Hanan Solid Waste Administrator Re: Skid Steer (Bobcat) At the Todd County Transfer Station we have two skid steer loaders, one that we purchased new earlier this year and one that was purchased in early 2009. We have recently experienced some fairly serious mechanical problems with the older of the two units. Lenny took the skid steer to Pong Prairie Implement and they have determined that it has a broken chain case (which was essentially described to me as a broken axel). We have a couple of options: -One, the cost to repair the broken chain case is estimated to be approximately $5,900. -Two, since the unit has approximately 1,900 hours on it and we have typically replaced them with around 2,500 hours we checked to see what it would cost to replace it. The new unit would cost $24,121 and they would be allowing us $5,226 for trade for a NET of $18,895. I would like to recommend that we purchase a new Bobcat S 160 as opposed to repairing the existing unit for two reasons; one, that we will probably replace the unit in 2012 anyway and two, considering the fact that we purchased a new unit earlier this year for a NET cost of $14,141 our actual net cost to replace this unit at this time would be $12,995 ($24,121 less trade of $5,226 plus not paying the cost to repair the existing unit of $5,900). Thank you for your consideration.
