On motion by Hollatz, second by Kokesch in a roll call vote with Kokesch, Walling, Klabunde, Hollatz, and Schueller all voting aye, the Board voted unanimously to adopt the following Resolution: PARKS AND TRAILS RESOLUTION The state Parks and Trails Legacy plan calls for a statewide system of parks and trails, and Greater MN Regional Parks and Trails have been underfunded for decades when compared to investments in the metro park system over that same time period, and The public expressed overwhelming support at 17 state-sponsored public meetings for the highest quality statewide regional projects possible as a preferred outcome of the 25 year plan, and The first round of park and trail legacy funding in 2009 was unfair to Greater Minnesota - with 43% of the funding dedicated to metro park needs, 43% dedicated to DNR park and trail needs and projects, while leaving only 14% funding for a statewide grants program which included Metro Parks. Of that 14%, 20% of those funds were given to the Metro Park Area, and The second round of park and trail legacy funding in 2011, produced better but still lopsided results with Greater Minnesota receiving 20% in dedicated legacy funding, while metro parks

4 Page 4 of 5 REDWOOD COUNTY, MINNESOTA JULY 3, 2012 received 43% and DNR received 37%, and A 2011 inventory of Greater Minnesota park and trail needs resulted in $76 million in projects, and over $33 million in grant request - or more than four times the amount of the 2011 legacy grants awarded to Greater Minnesota, and Greater Minnesota pre-legacy park and trail funding was spotty and scarce, and the Legacy Act has resulted in Greater Minnesota being charged by both the public and the state plan to build the highest quality statewide regional projects possible; Therefore be it resolved that: Redwood County believes Greater Minnesota should receive adequate funding to carry out the state plan and the public sentiment for high quality projects, and Redwood County believes the current Park and Trail Legacy splits of 43% metro, 37% DNR and 20% to Greater Minnesota are inherently unfair to Greater Minnesota and not enough to carry out the state plan or meet public expectations, and Redwood County believes the legacy funding splits at 43% metro, 37% DNR and 20% for the remaining 80 non-metro counties is not fair and will not provide the funding to allow Greater Minnesota to succeed in carrying out expectations of either the public or the state plan, and Redwood County believes the Greater Minnesota percentage of Legacy funding should increase to a level more equal to those of the metro area and DNR. On motion by Klabunde, second by Schueller, the Board voted unanimously to approve the Sentence to Serve Equipment Transfer from the State of Minnesota to Redwood County. On motion by Hollatz, second by Klabunde in a roll call vote with Kokesch, Walling, Klabunde, Schueller, and Hollatz all voting aye, the Board voted unanimously to adopt the following Resolution: RESOLUTION TO DISSOLVE REDWOOD-RENVILLE COMMUNITY HEALTH BOARD WHEREAS, the Redwood County Board of Commissioners has been studying structural and governance structures for the past year using MDH technical assistance and Updating Minnesota s Blueprint for Public Health for a thoughtful and deliberative process; and WHEREAS, the Redwood County Board of Commissioners has reviewed governance and organizational structure options that are allowed in statute to Community Health Boards; and WHEREAS, the Redwood County Board of Commissioners has evaluated their vision and goals for local government redesign and services to meet the community s needs; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that effective December 31, 2012, The Redwood- Renville Community Health Board shall be dissolved.
