Bobbie Vickerman,

As we discussed on the phone last week, I would like to appear before the

County Board at their meeting on October 3rd to request approval for

acquisition of 379 acres that straddles Preble and Norway Townships.

Minnesota DNR and Trust for Public Land are cooperating on this Outdoor

Heritage Fund and Reinvest in Minnesota project to add land to the Choice

Wildlife Management Area.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I am copying both Norway and Preble township clerks on this notification

and I will be happy to discuss this project with them also.

Ms. Vickerman,

This is a second additional request for a land buying resolution from the

Fillmore County Board when they meet on October 3rd. The Nature

Conservancy will be using Lessard Sam’s Outdoor Heritage Funds to acquire

66 acres from Mr. Dean Mikel in section 2 of Forestville Township. This

land will then be donated to Minnesota DNR Wildlife and become part of

the Seven Springs Wildlife Management Area.

I am copying Forestville Township Board on this request and I am free to

answer any questions that might come up.

Fillmore County Board Members:

I'm writing to thank you for allowing MN Rural Counties to visit the board today about the

benefits of participation in MAC. I regret Iam not able to be there in person due to my own

county board commitments, but I hope you will give every consideration to help build this

worthy organization.

It's important for you to know we are actively working to build membership in the region, and

that MAC is an open and welcoming platform for your concerns.

At a time when any issue at the Capitol is as likely to split along metro I rural lines as it is

along political lines, MAC is the only organization that advocates specifically for rural county

concerns.

I hope you take a look at the interim programs and activities we are carrying out, and at how

the MAC-specific programs on VCAA and Greater MN Regional Parks and Trails are already

benefitting your county.

We hope you give every consideration to joining the MAC. We welcome your energy and

ideas. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I would be happy to talk to you

at any time about MAC.

S'n rely,

tratton

Fillmore County MAC-Derived Benefits:

The MRC quantified benefits to Greater Minnesota counties resulting from

successful efforts to modify the Vulnerable Children and Adults Act (VCAA), and

create a brand new, state-of-the-art, regional park and trail system in Greater

MN.

Here are the results we found for the benefits to your county from these two

MAC-initiated programs:

MRC projects a VCAA revenues savings of $101,366.00 annually.

Greater MN Regional Parks and Trails Grant Applications We don't show any current grant applications but (Legacy) funding will be available until 2034 .

Here's what your colleagues are saying about MRC:

"Recreation is a key part of the economy in our area. Before MRC went to work

on it, metro and DNR interests were taking 86% of Legacy Parks and Trails funding, while the remaining 80 non-metro counties were forced to compete with metro counties for what remained. MRC changed all that and we are now

building a first-class regional parks and trails system in Greater MN."

Jim Stratton - Douglas County Commissioner and MRC Chairman

"Metro area legislators and lobbyists participate in every meeting affecting rural areas at the legislature. Greater MN needs a group like MRC that watches our

interests and fights for its priorities. " Bob Kopitzke - Stevens County and MRC Vice-Chair

''As a charter MRC member, our county was there from the beginning when we

formed to push-back on a state-sponsored one-size-fits-all wetland plan. It had

support from outdoor, environmental, and metro advocates, but would have been terrible for many rural regions of the state. The MRC stopped the plan and

helped create the three-tiered system that has worked as a model ever since." Don Jensen - Pennington County

"Greater Minnesota is building a brand-new, world-class regional parks and trails

system because MRC stepped up and fought for the funding. Groups like this

deserve support." David Kircher - Todd County Commissioner

"Our county joined the MRC last year on a one-year trial basis. Iwas asked to

participate in a land use work group that is addressing important concerns for

rural counties, and Itold my board recently that MRC is doing a good job

representing rural concerns. Iwill be recommending continuing our membership

in the MRC and encourage other counties to consider joining."

Randy Kramer - Renville County Commissioner

"As the lead staff person for a rural county, my greatest challenge is keeping up

with developments on critical issues at the legislature. This is especially true late

in the session when final decisions are being made. MRC sends updates as they

occur - often multiple times per day when things are happening quickly - along

MRC Interim Programs and Membership

Action Items 2017

Enbridge Valuation Appeal: MRC is working with AMC, and under the leadership of Polk Co.

Administrator Chuck Whiting, to coordinate the 13 counties affected by the Enbridge challenge to

MN Dept. of Revenue property tax valuations for 2012 - 2016. The case will be heard in October

and implications of a positive ruling for Enbridge could set a precedent that would open the door

for other utilities across the state to file similar complaints.

MRC Rural Foundations Program: MRC is moving forward with a program to identify and

coordinate organizations that represent key factions of our rural culture and economy, and we'd

like your help. Thus far we have reached out to a small group of core organizations to gauge

interest and have received positive response from each of the groups contacted. They include

MN Rural Health Assn., MN Farmers Union, MN Assn. of Townships, and Cooperative Network.

We will be holding an initial meeting within the next couple of weeks to discuss how the group

should form and operate, and who needs to be involved.

MRC Greater MN Workforce Opportunity Grants Program: This program is an MRC initiated

economic development program designed to provide training and financial support to Greater MN

programs that market the natural, cultural and economic assets of their region over social media

on a digital platform to attract new workers and residents. It encapsulates the widely supported

concepts advocated by U of M Extension Sr. Fellow Ben Winchester in his "Brain Gain,"

presentations.

MRC Land Use Program: We heard from a number of members over the years that the

purchase of private lands with public funding - through programs like Lessard-Sams Outdoor

Heritage Council or LCCMR - was a growing concern among members. More than 75% of those

responding to the 2017 MRC County Survey said their county was negatively affected by the

acquisition of private lands with public revenues. We've developed a program to address

concerns, but we need your help.

MRC Broadband Program: MRC continues to advocate for funding the Border-to-Border Grant Program at a level that will allow the state to meet its goals for deploying broadband across the state.

MRC Transportation Funding Program: MRC will continue to advocate for adequate funding

that is generated primarily from dedicated funding to address the growing backlog of local road

and bridge needs.

Hi

Rural Minnesota leader: Lawmakers, please support County Program Aid By Jim Stratton on May 19. 2017 at 9:30 a.m.

ALEXANDRIA, Minn.-With tax relief a top priority as the session deadline draws near, legislators still have a chance to relieve local

property tax pressures and fix a deeply flawed County Program Aid formula.

Rural Minnesota should hope they do.

Counties work to administer programs of the state. They are the local delivery system for

critical and costly state-mandated programs related to mental health, child protection, family

services, public safety, corrections and other areas.

When the state passes laws affecting these issue areas, counties are directed to carry out the

program, and state revenues are appropriated to pay the costs in the form of aid to counties.

The primary revenue source for counties is local property taxes. Rural counties work hard to keep property tax rates affordable, while

providing services to keep the county working.

The County Program Aid program was intended to cover the costs of state programs so that counties could reserve more of their

property tax revenues for programs specific to the needs of their home communities.

Just over 10 years ago, the state consolidated several property tax aid programs into one general aid program called County Program

Aid and instituted a formula for distribution. Revenues to fund the program have been dropping ever since.

For 2008-11, CPA payments were less than the levels that had been certified, due to state budgetary conditions. In 201o, the total

appropriation was permanently reduced by about $34 million, then further reduced by another $32 million in 2011.

Impacts are widespread but particularly harmful to deep rural, ag-based counties with low populations. In northwest Minnesota, counties

such as Kittson, Marshall and Norman have been particularly hard hit.

A full one-third of Minnesota's counties - mostly in the deep rural areas of the state-are struggling with a more than 50 percent loss of

their CPA allocation in the past 1O years. Some 27 counties failed to get a portion of their CPA entirely.

Stevens County, which is located south of Interstate 94 and Fergus Falls, is a good example of a fiscally conservative county that has

seen 86 percent of its CPA revenues disappear since 2005, due to reduced funding and a distribution formula that doesn't work anymore.

Stevens County avoided large property tax increases by conserving spending, deferring county improvement projects and spending

reserves that had been set aside for unforeseen developments.

But a belt can only be tightened so far, and this year, the board reluctantly implemented a nearly 8 percent levy increase on property

taxpayers. By comparison, the board approved a reasonable 4.1 percent increase in 2015 and held the levy to no increase for 2016.

Without the $25.5 million appropriation necessary to trigger the new formula change-which is supported by all of the state's 87 counties

-the counties mentioned above and others across the state will be staring down significant pressures to increase property taxes this

year on farmers, small businesses and elderly rural residents on fixed incomes.

Legislators should fix the formula, and fund the CPA fix this year.

Stratton, a Douglas County, Minn., commissioner, is chairman of Minnesota Rural Counties, a membership organization that advocates

for rural county concerns.
