Sev and Sandy Blenkush were recently selected as the 2013 Todd County Outstanding Senior Citizens during the 130th Todd County Fair. To quote Sandy Blenkush, You just have to bloom where youre planted. If thats what she meant by making the most of what God puts before you, then she, along with her husband Sev Blenkush are living examples flowers in full bloom if you will. Sev and Sandy were recently selected as the 2013 Todd County Outstanding Senior Citizens during the 130th Todd County Fair. The Outstanding Senior Citizens program takes nominations from all of the senior centers throughout the county and then one man and one woman are selected to represent the county at the Minnesota State Fair. Sev and Sandy have been involved in their community ever since they moved back to Browerville in 1987 after Sev retired from the Air Force as a field grade officer after 23 years of service. Upon moving back to Browerville, where Sev was born and raised, he became the city administrator for 13 years. It was in this position that Sev got to really know the community and the county as well. He has used those connections to try and help make a difference in his home community. Sandy has tried to do the same. With Sev and Sandy, you name it and theyve probably been involved in it in some fashion or another. Both have been actively involved at Christ the
Craig L. Williams, 46, Long Prairie, was charged with second degree murder in the death of his exwife, Nancy E. Williams, 58, also of Long Prairie. Craig L. Williams, 46, Long Prairie, was charged with second degree murder in the death of his ex-wife, Nancy E. Williams, 58, also of Long Prairie. According the the complaint filed in Todd County District Court on August 23, on August 22 Williams called 911 requesting an ambulance for a gunshot wound at a residence in Round Prairie Township, approximately six miles south of Long Prairie. During the call Williams admitted he had shot Nancy and she was in the house. He also said he had hit her with a shoe hammer (anvil). When the responding deputy was driving to the scene, he observed the defendant and two juvenile males, ages 11 and five, walking down the road. When he arrived at the home he found the body of Nancy Williams on the kitchen floor. A neighbor of Nancys stated that Nancy had come over to the neighbors home earlier that afternoon and said Craig was threatening her and going to kill her. She then went back home. A short time later Williams was observed outside the residence talking on his cell phone and then walking down the road with the children. Bail for Williams has been set at $2 million, $1 million bond or $100,000 cash with conditions due to the seriousness of the crime and his significant criminal history. He has asked for and received a court appointed attorney. His next court appearance will be in approximately two weeks. If found guilty Williams could face up to 40 years in prison.
Todd Board learns Annex foundation problem has been solved

By Rin Porter At the Aug. 20 Todd County Board meeting, commissioners heard from Contegrity Group Inc. manager Earl Fuechtmann that the problem discovered under the countys Annex building in Long Prairie has been solved. At the July 23 Health and Human Services (HHS) committee meeting, county commissioners heard Fuechtmann give an update on the progress of the renovation project underway for the last few months on the county buildings known as Annex I and Annex II in Long Prairie. Fuechtmann told commissioners contractors encountered surprises when they dug the hole for the new elevator shaft just east of the building location. One surprise was that workers failed to Continued on page 12.

Heartland Symphony in need of various players

Fall is on its way, and with the opening of schools and raking of leaves, along comes the promise of another season of music by the Heartland Symphony Orchestra. Rehearsals for the 2013-2014 concert season begin Thursday, September 5, and the Heartland Symphony welcomes new musicians to play with the group. At this time, they are especially in need of a timpanist and string players (including violin, viola, cello, and bass). All those interested are invited to call Fran Dosh at 1-800-8261997 for information and a rehearsal schedule or go to the website www.heartlandsymphony.org, then click Join HSO. The Heartland Symphony was incorporated thirty-seven years ago by a group of musicians from Little Falls and Brainerd. The goals of the symphony are to bring orchestral music to concert-goers in Central Minnesota, to acquaint young people with the beauty of classical music and to provide an opportunity for trained musicians to play together. This symphony is unique because it is not based in one community but draws its players and audiences from a large area in central Minnesota. The three concerts presented each season are played in both Little Falls and Brainerd. Weekly rehearsals alternate between Brainerd and Little Falls. For a free season brochure of HSO concert information, please contact info@heartlandsymphony.org.

tles, fish and other species. 9 a.m.-9 p.m., DNR building. MUSIC: AXIOM The band plays almost everything from the Blues Brother's and Doobie Brother's to Michael Buble and Group Love and everything in between. 10 a.m., noon, 2 p.m., 4 p.m., DNR Volunteer Outdoor Stage. MUSIC: ECUADOR MANTA Based out of St. Paul, Ecuador Manta has evolved into a sound best described as Latin Fusion, World Music. Their songs include world beats from the Caribbean, the Middle East, North America and many countries throughout Latin America. Along with the fusion of many rhythms and beats, the band preserves the beauty and sound of the South American panflute, native to its country. The band attracts and excites all ages and draws in large crowds from many different social and cultural backgrounds, making it a big hit at many festivals. Ecuador Manta can make the most unlikely audience dance, move and smile. 7-9 p.m., DNR Volunteer Outdoor Stage. Once the weather cools off, the possibility of a killing frost increases. A killing frost pulls moisture out of fine fuels such as grasses and brush. A combination of dry weather and dry, dead fuels could lead to another active fall fire season. Fire starts are more probable in areas exposed to the sun and in areas of light, sandy soil. Open stands of jack pine, especially where there is a higher ratio of dead fuels to live vegetation will have the higher probability of ignition. This week, the southern third of Minnesota is at low fire danger. The northern third of the state and the metro area at moderate fire danger, meaning fires start easily and spread at a moderate rate. The central part of the state from Pine County in the east to the North Dakota border and from Marshall County to Lac qui Parle County has a fire danger rating of high, increasing the probability that wildfires could occur and spread at a rapid rate. Burning of vegetative debris is allowed with a burning permit available through local forestry offices, local fire wardens, and online. See www.mndnr.gov/forestry/fire for the fire danger ratings and burning permit restrictions. Small grain harvest and haying operations could be a source of ignition during the coming weeks, as well as recreational vehicles such as ATVs. DNR fire mangers urge people to use caution with all fire campfires and burning debris. Campfires are allowed if they are no more than 3 feet high by 3 feet across and in a cleared area. When having a campfire, keep a shovel handy, make sure a water source is available, stay with the fire at all times, and make sure the fire area is cool to the touch before leaving. Think the fire is out? Check again.

Question of the week

Q: The DNR is in the process of determining the abundance of pheasants in the state's pheasant range. How is this number determined? A: Since 1955, the Minnesota DNR has conducted annual roadside surveys during the first two weeks of August to estimate pheasant abundance. These surveys entail counting all pheasants observed while driving each of 152 survey routes one to four routes per county in Minnesotas pheasant range. DNR wildlife staff survey these 25-mile long routes in the early mornings on days with clear skies, light winds, and heavy dew. Because pheasants are difficult to count, techniques used to determine population estimates for other wildlife species do not work with pheasants. Thus, the annual August roadside surveys do not provide a total census, but rather an index of relative abundance. This information is then used to monitor changes in the pheasant population over time. The results of the survey are reported in early September and provide a good forecast of the upcoming pheasant hunting season. - Nicole Davros, DNR wildlife biologist
Wildfire danger intensifies as fuels dry out in parts of Minnesota

As precipitation over the last 30 days has been at 50 percent of normal over most of Minnesota, fire managers from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are seeing an increase in fire danger and are urging people to use caution when working and recreating in dry areas. So far this summer, fire occurrence has been low, but a predicted dry spell could change that quickly. DNR forestry areas with the highest fire potential are Bemidji, Park Rapids, Backus, Little Falls, Sandstone, and lands north of Cambridge and south of Cloquet. Continuing warm dry weather could expand the area of concern to the Arrowhead region in northeastern Minnesota where lightning ignitions could become more likely if thunderstorms develop with light rain, fire managers said. The National Weather Service predicts Minnesota is entering a warm and dry spell for the next week or so. This is the time of year the state sees scattered rainfall where the amounts can vary widely even a few miles apart. Most of the state is still green, but it can change with the hot weather, especially if it stays rain free.

The name for Oz in the "Wizard of Oz" was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum, looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z, hence "Oz." Until 1796, there was a state in the United States called Franklin. Today it is known as Tennessee. The phrase, "It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye" is from Ancient Rome. The only rule during wrestling matches was, "No eye gouging." Everything else was allowed, but the only way to be disqualified was to poke someone's eye out.

OPINIONS
The end of summer

Different people call different dates the end of summer. The Calendar says it is not until September 21. Others think the last day of summer is the day before the first day of pheasant season. To kids in school, the last day of summer falls the day before they have to resume their education for the year. For our grandson, that day was last Monday. Zane and his Nanna are pretty good buddies. It was no problem for either of them that they could spend the last day of summer together. They had the day all planned out. They were going to do some fishing, maybe go out for lunch, do a little baking, go for a long mule ride on the trails around the farm and finish the day off with a little fishing. Monday morning, the phone rang at 7:00 sharp. Zane was ready for one of us to come get him. Since I was ready for work and my wife was still in her pajamas, I drove over and picked him up. He was By Walter Scott most of the way down the driveway, coming to meet his ride when I got there. He had plans and was ready to start the day. Leaving for work a bit later, I looked in my rear view mirror to see my wife, Zane, and two dogs heading for the lake. I did not hear from them again until almost noon. They spent most of the morning on the lake and had caught a bunch of fish. The biggest one was the one that got away. They were fishing up by the wing dams when my wife caught a bass longer than from her fingertips to her elbow. That is a nice fish. We do have more than a thousand dollars worth of fishing equipment, including tape measure and digital scales, but who would think to bring them. The next fish she caught was almost twice the size of the last one. Zane and his Nanna both reached down and grabbed it to try to pull it in, but the monster fish was able to flip and escape. When Damon and I listened to the story that evening of the one that got away, it was easy to tell we were hearing this tale from two true fishermen. The details got fuzzy and the stories did not quite match up. This fish was somewhere between a new state record and Moby Dick. It made me concerned for their safety with a bass this large out on our lake. They broke for lunch, did a little last minute school shopping and came back to bake a cake. If nothing else, the kid will be well rounded in life. He can fish, hunt, cook, and bake to survive. He has also learned the finer points of shopping. They rode the trails and ran the dogs around the woods, enjoying the afternoon sun breaking through the leaves on the soft grassy paths. Some trails were open and clear while others had a tight canopy of trees over ground covered with last years leaves. An occasional deer was spotted, a couple of bucks down by the willow crossing and a doe with her fawn up by twin sluices. The path ended back at the lake and off they went again fishing. They were successful again on their second fishing adventure. No monster fish that could swallow children or boats, but several big crappie were landed. Damon and I showed up at our place at about the same time. We got detailed stories of the days activities. Both Zane and his Nanna were tired, but happy. He decided if there had to be a last day of summer, it could not get much better than this. I would have to agree; it would be hard to find any day much better than this, except for perhaps the shopping.

DWI project kickoff

RACEWAY FANS & AREA MOTORISTS KEPT SAFE DURING BIG RACE
Officers stopped at least 324 and arrested at least eight persons along the Highway 371 corridor the weekend of Aug. 15-17 during a stepped-up enforcement and traffic control effort surrounding the NHRA Nationals at Brainerd International Raceway. The Minnesota State Patrol, along with deputies and local area officers participated in the effortno major incidents were reported. Officers stopped at least 324 drivers and arrested at least eight persons, two of which were for warrant arrests and at least five were for impaired driving offenses. In addition, at least four vehicles were towed and one was forfeited. Other activity reported by officers included at least: 86 contacts for speeding. 60 contacts for seat belt violations. 20 contacts for violation of the Ted Foss Move-Over Law. 102 equipment related violations. 10 driving after suspension/revocation violations. 126 other non-specified violations. This local enforcement project kicked off participation in a larger scale, statewide DWI enforcement and education campaign running Aug. 16 through Labor Day. Law enforcement agencies taking part in this enforcement effort with troopers were deputies from the Crow Wing County Sheriffs Department as well as officers from the cities of Brainerd, Breezy Point, Crosslake, Pequot Lakes and DNR officers who also reported a variety of enforcement activity from the event, mostly relating to the operation of ATVs and other Off Highway Vehicles, along with alcohol related stops and assists. Very preliminary statewide stats show approximately 425 weekend DWI arrests, up from the normal 300-some arrests in recent years for the same time frame. The DWI enforcement will continue through Labor Day and will be centered around numerous other local events around Minnesota. All persons are encouraged to report drivers believed to be impaired by calling 911. DWI enforcement and education is a component of the states core traffic safety initiative, Toward Zero Deaths (TZD)

Deer licenses now on sale; lottery applications due Sept. 5

Deer hunting licenses are now available for purchase. Hunters who want an either-sex deer or special hunt permit for the coming season must apply by Thursday, Sept. 5, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) said. Hunters should carefully review the list of lottery areas, particularly in extreme northwestern Minnesota and the Iron Range area of northeastern Minnesota. The following permit areas are designated as lottery this year but were not last year: 176, 101, 105, 111, 267 and 268. Elsewhere, other permit area designations have changed too in response to local deer population changes. Regulations are detailed in Minnesotas 2013 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Handbook and Deer Season Map, which now are available wherever hunting and angling licenses are sold, online at www.mndnr.gov/regulations and in many DNR offices across the state. Fifty-eight of the states 129 permit areas are lottery areas. The number of permit areas designated as lottery is unchanged from 2012. The number of either-sex permits available has increased about 10 percent. People can purchase a deer license and apply for the lottery or a special hunt at any DNR license agent, by telephone at 888-665-4236 or online at www.mndnr.gov/buyalicense. Lottery winners will be notified in October. Hunters can apply for lottery deer areas and special hunts using both their firearm and muzzleloader licenses. Although a hunter can be selected for both licenses, successful applicants can only take one deer in lottery permit areas. In the case of special hunts, a person may draw both a firearm and muzzleloader permit, in which case he or she must adhere to the bag limits established by each special hunt. Lottery deer areas in 2013 are permit areas 101, 103, 105, 108, 110, 111, 118, 119, 122, 169, 171, 172, 176, 183, 184, 197, 199, 234, 237, 238, 250, 251, 252, 253, 260, 261, 262, 263, 266, 267, 268, 269, 270, 271, 272, 274, 275, 276, 277, 278, 279, 280, 281, 282, 283, 284, 285, 286, 288, 289, 290, 291, 294, 295, 296, 297, 298 and 299. DNR encourages hunters to review new deer hunting regulations, permit area designations and boundary changes before applying. Current and up-to-date information is available online at www.mndnr.gov/hunting/deer and www.mndnr.gov/regulations/hunting.

Counties dig into 2014 budget work

By Rin Porter One of the tasks Minnesotas counties face every summer is preparing a budget for the following year. All 87 Minnesota counties have to do this as part of the groundwork for deciding where to set their property tax preliminary levies by Sept. 15 of each year. Todd Countys five commissioners and auditor/treasurer are the officials charged with preparing the annual budget and levy figures. They are in the midst of the process now. In some counties, the county administrator, county coordinator, or finance officer either assist with or personally carry out the budgeting process, subject to county board approval. To give Todd County residents some perspective on what neighboring counties are dong, we contacted the four small counties that surround Todd and asked them about their budget processes. We did not include Otter Tail or Stearns County, because they have populations and acreage more than twice the size of Todd County, and we did not consider them fair comparisons. Here are the results of our comparisons of county budget processes. TODD COUNTY According to 2011 estimates from the Minnesota Legislature, Todd County has a population of 24,823 people. Todd County currently has neither a county administrator nor a county coordinator. Todd County has five commissioners and an auditor/treasurer who are preparing the 2014 budget and levy. This is the first time in five years these officials will carry out this work. From 2009 to 2012, a county administrator prepared the budget and the county board approved it. The administrator resigned at the end of December 2012. This summer, commissioners asked all county department and division heads to appear before the county board and present their requests for 2014 budget allocations. During this process, commissioners learned of serious needs for road construction and maintenance funds, building repair funds, and Sheriffs Department wage reserves to cover part-time deputies and jailer/dispatchers when full-time employees are on sick leave, vacation, or family medical leave. These funding needs, if met, would increase the countys expenditures by about a million dollars in 2014. However, county revenues will not increase enough to cover the increased expenditures. County roads in Todd County have not received any maintenance in more than five years. The County Engineer requested a large appropriation of county funds for the next several years to allow him to carry out road maintenance on county roads. Several county buildings need new roofs. Annex I and Annex II need new rooftop air conditioning units, the jail has plumbing leaks and needs a new water softener, the Main Street Government Center needs a new boiler, and employees have requested that lights be installed in the county parking lot. Todd County faces labor negotiations with its bargaining units this fall. The current labor contracts end on Dec. 31, 2013. Some neighboring counties are also scheduled for labor negotiations, and others have settled with their bargaining units for wage increases of 2% to 3% per year for the next two to three years. All counties face health insurance cost increases of about 5% in 2014. The county has outstanding bond debt that will cost $647,900 in 2014. The 2011 budget contained expenditures of $29,515,590, 2012s were $35,807,565, 2013s were $26,845,815, and projected 2014 expenditures are $27,686,928. CASS COUNTY According to 2011 Minnesota Legislature estimates, Cass County has a population of 28,396. Cass County has a county administrator and a chief financial officer. According to a July 26 report in the Brainerd Dispatch, the county prepares its budget using a budget committee that includes one citizen appointee from each commissioner district. The committee reviews department head budget requests, then prepares the countys budget with help from the auditor/treasurer, chief financial officer, and county administrator and recommends its adoption to the county board. Cass County has five bargaining units. According to the Brainerd Dispatch (July 26, 2013), the county settled labor agreements with a two-year contract for 2013 and 2014, giving employees 2.5% wage increases at the beginning of each year, plus step increases mid-year of 3%. The countys contingency fund will pay for those raises. County financial officials reported trends and projected budget needs to the county during its annual planning meeting on July 26. (Monica Lundquist, Brainerd Dispatch, July 26) Cass County Engineer David Enblom told his board the new Wheelage Tax could bring in $250,000 per year for highway projects, but the board decided against implementing it. The 2011 budget contained expenditures of $48,482,697. 2012 budget had expenditures of $48,339,692. 2013 budget listed expenditures of $49,487,647. The county set a goal of no increase in its 2013 pay 2014 levy, but has not published its 2014 projected budget yet. Cass County has no bond debt. Cass County officials did not respond to our requests for interviews or information on their budget processes. DOUGLAS COUNTY According to Minnesota Legislature 2011 estimates, Douglas County has a population of 36,240. Douglas County has a county coordinator. The auditor/treasurer prepares the countys proposed budget by requesting budget submissions from department heads and compiling the requests into a document. Douglas County has seven bargaining units. All contracts end on Dec. 31, 2013, but negotiations for new contracts have not yet begun. Douglas County has a courthouse remodeling project underway (Alexandria Echo, Aug. 1, 2013), and will levy a small sum to complete the project. The county has just completed remodeling of law enforcement, public health, and social service offices. Douglas County has a process by which the county stockpiles money to pay for maintenance projects. Auditor/Treasurer Char Rosenow wrote in a personal communication, We levy a certain dollar amount each year for those types of items. We started that a few years ago when I became Auditor/Treasurer. Currently we put $50,000 away for carpet, paint and any indoor issues each year and another $50,000 for outside issues such as roof repairs, sidewalk and parking lot repairs etc. The county implemented the new Wheelage Tax effective in January 2014 to help with road construction and maintenance needs. The 2011 budget contained expenditures of $47,310,676. The 2012 revised budget had expenditures of $42,782,945, and the 2013 budget listed expenditures at $44,307,217. The 2014 budget is in the process of being created. Douglas County has $4 million in bond debt. No new bonds are planned at this time. MORRISON COUNTY According to 2011 Minnesota Legislature estimates, Morrison County has a population of 33,312 people. Morrison County has a county administrator, and also has a finance officer (Steve Messerschmidt) who prepares the countys budget. The process began in May. Morrison County will provide a COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) increase of 2% for employees in 2014. There is a 5% cafeteria (benefits package) increase due in 2014 as well. The countys goal is a 0% levy increase for 2014, even with these scheduled wage and benefit increases. Department heads complete a Budget Analysis Summary Form, a Staffing Request Form if they wish to add staff, a Capital Outlay Request Detail form for large purchases, a Five-Year Capital Outlay Plan form, a PTO and Sick Bank Payout form, and a Budget Preparation Checklist. The county will hold budget hearings on four days at the end of Continued on page 10 August and beginning of September. --approved a resolution finding no need for an Environmental Impact Statement to be completed for the proposed subdivision of Kandota Landing on Fairy Lake in Kandota Township. --approved the hiring of a Health Education Coordinator through a grant in the division of Health and Human Services.

As a couple, they sponsor a family through the Diocese of St. Clouds Catholic Charities. Sev and Sandy have been nominated before, but this is the first time they have been recognized in such a grand way. But volunteering is not something they do for recognition or ego building. Im in awe, Sandy said. Its an honor. We dont do the volunteering to be recognized. Sandy said its just their way of giving back to a community and life that has been good to them. Its a good fuzzy, warm feeling to know youre helping somebody in need, Sandy continued. In fact, the recognition is something that Sev says he could do without entirely since he doesnt like to toot his own horn. Theres always more than me, Sev said. Theres always a committee of people helping. Were very humbled by the effect of being recognized for something we enjoy doing. And they sure enjoy doing it. You should never be bored, Sandy explained. If you go away from a banquet hungry its your own fault, Sev added. Forget your age and just do it, ride the roller coaster and yell woohoo!. Sandy concluded. Reprinted with permission of the Long Prairie Leader Publisher/ Editor Jason C. Brown

find caissons [a type of concrete footing] that appeared on the original buildings architects drawings. The footings were to be part of the buildings support. Fuechtmann said after discussing this surprise, the staff of Contegrity Group decided not to try to put in the caissons that were supposed to be there. According to his engineer, the other footings that did exist were probably sufficient to support the elevator equipment. But later, Fuechtmann decided to bring in a structural engineer to take a look at the situation, and asked three soil retention contractors to bid on a method of stabilizing the soil. The three quotes from the soil contractors were so high there was no way to work them into the budget. So Fuechtmann decided to take another look at the excavation himself. He went to the site on Aug. 17 and did some digging, and discovered an alternative method of supporting the building had been put in place by the original builder: helical piers. A helical pier is a type of engineered vertical anchor used in subsoils that arent sufficient to support structures built on them. Two helical piers were located under the Annex wall, and Fuechtmann and his engineer decided they were sufficient to support a new concrete wall. This wall was poured, and now the project can keep going. In other business, the board: --approved purchase of an additional used vehicle to replace an old vehicle in the countys motor pool. --approved postponement of a Highway Department project to replace two box culverts in the City of Osakis and northeast of the City of Osakis, and combine them with culvert projects in 2014. --approved the hiring of Michael Zimmerman as a part-time truck driver at Grade 17, Step 4, by the Solid Waste Department. --approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for Angelo Smieja to operate an internet auction business in a Rural Townsite zone in Round Prairie Township. --approved a CUP for William and Anna Schwartzentruber to operate a sawmill, expand the sawmill building, and add a second home for a family member at their property in Section 29 of Bartlett Township.

High school graduation options

Today Minnesota students are living in an exciting era. They have a number of educational options programs that are available to them which empower them to choose where they attend school. Since no one school can meet the need of every student, families can benefit from exploring educational options that are available to their children. Freshwater Education District (FED) offers educational opportunities for a large range of students. FED Area Learning Centers(ALC) have campuses located in five area towns: Long Prairie, Menahga, Staples, Pillager and Wadena. FED collaborates with your local school districts to support students that qualify to earn their high school diplomas at an ALC. FED ALC high school programs are available on a part time or full time basis. A variety of instructional models address many different learning styles and also fit into the life of students that are not living a typical teenager's life. FED ALC provide opportunities for students to achieve academic success and to earn a high school diploma. Students can earn a high school diploma through FED ALC until they are 21 years of age. This program is especially beneficial to the student that did not graduate with their class the previous Spring. After age 21, adult students can still attend the ALC to earn their high school diploma under FED ALC Adult Student program. Freshwater Education District also provides a middle level program for students aged 12-15. Students that need additional academic support, relationship building with adults and their peers, and assistance with increasing their motivation may benefit from the small class sizes and curriculum found at the FED Middle Level program now newly relocated at the Wadena ALC campus from the Menahga campus. Families can speak with their local district or contact FED ALC directly for information on the middle level program. In addition, FED works in conjunction with the local districts to offer after school and summer school programs for elementary and middle level age students at their own location. These programs offer opportunities for students to enhance academic, school and social skills in a fun and creative learning environment. These Targeted Service programs are staffed by the teachers in your school district. Please contact your local school about the Targeted Services programs available for eligible students.

Budgets, continued from page 12

Morrison County has four bargaining units, three of which have settled contracts for 2013-2015 with a 2% wage increase scheduled for 2014, and the fourth is the last year of a contract with a 2% wage increase due in 2014. Morrison Countys buildings are in good shape, according to Messerschmidt, with minimal ongoing maintenance needed. No building remodeling or new construction projects are scheduled for 2014. The road system in Morrison County is in good shape, according to Messerschmidt. The county board voted to implement the new County Wheelage Tax of $10 beginning Jan. 1, 2014, with the funds going toward drainage improvements on local roads.
Morrison County has $4 million in bonding debt, and will not add any additional debt in 2014. The 2011 budget contained expenditures of $41,827,496. The revised 2012 budget listed expenditures of $34,817,130, and the 2013 budget had expenditures at $37,832,431. WADENA COUNTY According to 2011 Minnesota Legislature estimates, Wadena County has a population of 13,709 people. Wadena County has neither a county coordinator nor a county administrator. Wadena County has five commissioners and an auditor/treasurer who are preparing the 2014 budget. The auditor/treasurer and two of the commissioners are new employees, and the 2014 budget is the first one that they will help prepare. Department heads appeared before the county board in August and presented their budget requests for 2014. The board directed department heads to present budgets with 0 to 3% expense increases for 2014, or, if that was not possible, to explain the circumstances and provide documentation. Wadena County will have a 5% increase in health insurance costs. Wadena County had provisionally approved an insurance committee recommendation for a 10% decrease in health insurance premiums. Three of the four bargaining units have signed labor agreements for 20132015, and they will receive a 2% wage increase at the beginning of 2014. The fourth bargaining unit has not settled on its next contract, and will operate using the expired 2012 agreement until a new one is agreed upon. Binding arbitration is scheduled for September. Wadena County has just begun a major exterior repair and renovation of the courthouse including replacement of the roof and all the windows. The project is expected to be completed by the end of Dec. 2013. No new projects have been approved for 2014. Wadena County has been engaged in the replacement of its buildings at the county fairgrounds that were destroyed by the June 16, 2010 tornado, and has had to pay construction costs and then be reimbursed by FEMA and the Minnesota Dept of Homeland Security. Some of the reimbursements have taken three to six months, which has put the countys cashflow in a less than optimal situation. However, those projects are nearly completed. Wadena County needs money to repair its aging county road system. Commissioners took no votes on whether to implement the Wheelage Tax or the local sales tax. Wadena County has no bonding debt, but is considering bonding for road construction and maintenance. The 2011 budget contained expenditures of $18,766,898. In 2012, expenditures were $18,277,813. In 2013, projected expenditures are $20,964,507. The 2014 planned expenditures were incomplete as of Aug. 16.
