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
with suggested messages and contacts. MRC's communication is invaluable and
outstanding. Rebecca Young - Stevens County Coordinator
"The MRCC is making a difference for us - but it needs to grow. It doesn't cost
much tojoin in either time or effort, and the returns have been significant." Kevin Stevens - Cottonwood County Commissioner
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.
