Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt Resolution No. 2017-042; authorizing entering into Agency
Agreement No. 1027743 with the State of Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for Federal
Participation in Advance Construction for the County Highway (CH) 27/CH 68 Roundabout Project in Credit
River Township.
The County has programmed a project to construct a roundabout at the intersection of CH 27 and CH 68 in the
Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) 2017 2026 to commence construction in 2017. CH 27 is an
important north-south A-minor arterial highway through Scott County, which connects the Cities of Savage,
Prior Lake, and Elko New Market. CH 68 is an east-west collector roadway that intersects CH 27 and
connects to Lakeville.
This intersection has experienced higher crash rates due to traffic volumes, slightly off-set road approaches on
CH 68, and limited visibility. The intersection experienced five crashes from 2012 to 2014, of which four were
with injury and one was with severe injury. The CH 27 Corridor Study recommends a roundabout at this
intersection.
The County received Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding for the construction of the
roundabout that is programmed in the federally approved State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)
for fiscal 2018 (federal fiscal year starting October 1, 2017). The County is accelerating this safety
improvement project to 2017, resulting in the need to enter into this Agreement to receive the appropriate
approvals to construct in 2017. Construction costs incurred before the 2018 federal fiscal year will be paid for
by the County with reimbursement after that date. This project includes the construction of a roundabout, curb
and gutter, raised concrete medians, intersection lighting, and storm sewer with ponding.
The plans have been approved by MnDOT and the County is scheduled to advertise for bids on April 26th and
complete construction in summer 2017.
The project is programmed for 2017 construction in the 2017-2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
The TIP cash flow takes into account this payment schedule.

Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt Resolution No. 2017-043; authorizing final payment for County
Project (CP) 101-17 to Redstone Construction, LLC, in the amount of $5,921.10.
Redstone Construction, LLC was awarded the Contract for bridge repair work on Bridge #70002 on June 21,
2016. The project is located in the City of Shakopee at County Highway (CH) 101 and CH 69 over the main
channel of the Minnesota River. This work included approach panel replacement, expansion joint replacement,
concrete abutment repair, sealing bridge deck cracks and permanent pavement markings.
The final contract amount is $291,457.39 which is $18,659.52 or 6.4% more than the original contract bid of
$272,797.87. The cost increase was due to adding a special surface treatment to the bridge railings to protect
from de-icing chemicals and additional advance traffic control signing due to the high volume of traffic on that
section of roadway. To date the contractor has been paid $285,536.29 leaving a balance due of $5,921.10.
Staff recommends approval of the final contract amount. All work has been satisfactorily performed and the
necessary closeout documentation has been completed by the contractor and received by the Highway Dept.
The project with the additional costs is still under the 2016 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) amount.
The Countys Road and Bridge fund balance will cover the contract increase.

Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt Resolution No. 2017-033, authorizing the purchase and
implementation of the PH-DOC Software through the ratification of Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA) with Minnesota Counties Computer Cooperative (MnCCC).
This Amendment allows Scott County to become a new member of the Minnesota Community Health Services
Users Group for PH-DOC software system.
The 2007 Minnesota Legislature mandated in Minnesota Statute 62J.495 (Electronic Health Record
Technology), that "by January 1, 2015, all hospitals and health care providers must have in place an
interoperable electronic health records system." Public Health is requesting purchase and implementation of a
new system to meet these requirements. The new application, in addition to electronic health record
exchange, will also replace case documentation for Public Health which is currently provided through
CareFacts. Furthermore, this application will be hosted by Dakota County, through a separate Agreement,
supporting the Countys technology roadmap for hosted solutions.
Benefits include:
Secure exchange of electronic health information
Compliance with Federal and State mandates, HIPAA compliance, secure messaging and increased
data privacy
Process efficiencies are gained in receiving, managing and transferring health information
Retention enhancements and technical assistance for State of Minnesota Reporting
A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued on December 16, 2015, for the purchase and implementation of an
Electronic Health Records Information System for Scott County Public Health. The RFP outlined the scope of
work required for the service based on the general needs and requirements of the mandate and followed Scott
Countys standard process.
The RFP was sent to fifteen (15) agencies. Six (6) vendors responded, with one vendor withdrawing their
proposal:
Three (3) vendors were invited to demo. One of them declined the invite, so the two (2) remaining vendors
came to the County in May, to demo their system:
Netsmart Technologies
Minnesota Counties Computer Cooperative (MnCCC)
The evaluation team was made up of representation from Health and Human Services, and Information
Technology. The Team selected MnCCC based upon the following criteria:
It was determined that, based upon the functionality included in the RFPs submitted, reference checks
completed, and cost, that MnCCC provided the best system that would meet the needs of the County. The
recommendation supports the Countys initiative in Innovation by allowing increased efficiencies while meeting
the state mandate.
Scott County belongs to a consortium called MnCCC. Membership to this Coop has allowed Scott County to
enter into software agreements at substantially lower costs in comparison to Counties who have opted to have
an agreement for these services on their own. Below are the fees:
One Time Costs:
Software $ 78,600
Implementation Services $ 58,162
Hosting Set Up $ 35,250
Maintenance & Support $ 16,500
One-Time Total $188,512
Ongoing Costs:
MnCCC Software Maintenance $ 31,407
Direct Mail Maintenance $ 2,500
Annual Membership $ 1,500
Dakota County Maintenance & Support $ 14,000
Ongoing Total $ 49,407
Fiscal Impact:
This request is budget neutral. The total project implementation is not to exceed $188,512 which has been
approved by Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Governance utilizing funds from 2016 and 2017.
The annual fee will be determined by the number of Counties that ratify the Agreement. The fees are
scheduled to increase each year over the length of the Agreement.
The total project cost includes on-going maintenance and support to be hosted by Dakota County. The
on-going maintenance, support, and hosting costs of $49,407 will be funded annually through the Health and
Human Services and Information Technology operating budgets during the term of this Agreement.

Deputy Clerk :
Date:
Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda item is to approve the addition of two full-time equivalent (FTE) off levy positions in
Social Services, specifically in Child Protection.
In 2015, the Minnesota Legislature allocated new, ongoing funding to Counties to support Child Protection
staffing and services. Scott County received a base allocation of $567,600 with 20% of the allocation being
withheld based on performance on two key measures; timeliness of contacts on assessments and monthly
caseworker visits. In 2015, Scott County successfully met the performance standard of 90% for each
measure. As a result, Scott County received an additional $270,066 which included 20% of funding that was
withheld and additional monies that were reallocated from counties that did not meet the performance
standard. In 2016, Scott County again met the performance standards for timeliness of contacts on
assessments and monthly caseworker visits and received an additional $165,000.
It is anticipated that in 2017 the 20% withhold formula will be eliminated and the entire Child Protection
allocation ($567,600) will be distributed to Scott County. This will result in an additional $113,000 annually.
The addition of two new Child Protection Workers will also generate an estimated $60,000 in child welfare
targeted case management revenue. The estimated cost for adding the two new FTEs is $170,000.
Scott County has experienced a 75% increase in the number of child protection assessments and
investigations in the past five years. The addition of two new FTEs in Child Protection will provide the
opportunity for more comprehensive assessment of child safety and risk and an increased capacity to develop
rigorous safety plans by engaging children, parents and safety networks.
Fiscal Impact:
The approval of the two FTE positions within Social Services is budget neutral. State funding and child welfare
targeted case management revenue will offset the cost of these positions.

Deputy Clerk :
Date:
Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda items is to approve the addition of one full-time equivalent (FTE) Attorney III
position in the County Attorneys Office and also approve a budget amendment.
In the past five years the County Attorneys Office has experienced a dramatic increase in cases, particularly in
the area of child protection. From 2015 to 2016 alone, Child in Need of Protection of Services (CHIPS)
petitions increased 70%. This is due in part to the 2015 Governors Task Force recommendations implemented
by the Legislature which set out mandatory and suggested best practices requirements for Human Services
and County Attorneys Offices. These requirements include increased consultation with attorneys at earlier
stages of cases and have widened the scope of cases that must be investigated and reviewed with legal input.
Funding in the State budget covered the addition of 5.7 Human Services workers but did not provide any
funding for County Attorney staff.
The County Attorneys Office is struggling to meet the demands placed upon it by these new processes and
procedures as well as the increase due to additional Human Services resources. Existing staff cannot meet
the mandatory requirements and continue to devote the time needed to process all of the cases in a timely
manner to best meet the needs of the families involved in these cases. The addition of a position will allow the
work to be divided into more manageable caseloads and allow staff more time to appropriately address each
case.
After reviewing the budget implications, discussing the County Attorneys needs and staffing, and the expected
outcomes, Administration would support the addition of this FTE position at an estimated expense (salary and
benefits) of approximately $120,000.00 annually. To accommodate this expense Administration would
propose making budget amendments that would modify funding in 60350 (General Program Expenses), 61310
(Accounting/Auditing Services), 61335 (Investment Fees), 61390 (Other Professional Services), and 61525
(Facility Utilities) so that the addition has a neutral effect on the 2017 budget and levy. These modifications
would be made within a number of division budgets. Administration, the impacted areas, and Finance have
reviewed these changes. Administration would recommend the Board approve this budget amendment and
authorize an additional one full-time equivalent Attorney III position in the County Attorneys Office.
Fiscal Impact:
None. The added FTE expense will be offset through other budget amendments.

The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt Resolution No. 2017-041; Proclaiming April 3-9, 2017 Public
Health Week in Scott County.
This week we recognize the comprehensive contributions of our Public Health community. Public Health staff
is dedicated to improving health outcomes through activities such as vaccinations against disease, emergency
preparedness planning and response, raising awareness of the impacts of adverse childhood experiences, and
the support of maternal and child healthcare. The work of Public Health in Scott County has improved the
quality of our lives. Public Health addresses environmental health issues to promote screening children for
lead exposure, supports policies that improve air quality to reduce the risk of asthma, investigates and
mitigates infectious diseases, and promotes improved nutrition and active living. Additionally, the Statewide
Health Improvement Partnership program saves lives by reducing chronic diseases, disabilities, and premature
deaths. They also save money by reducing health care costs and increasing productivity real savings for
employers, residents and Minnesota health care programs.
Public Health is a critical element for improving the health of its community. Public Health services are
individual, family, system, and population-based, providing services and interventions that protect entire
populations from illness, disease, and injury. Population-based services are essential to any effort to address
such problems as spiraling health care costs, lack of access to care, and the poor health status of too many
citizens subsequent to social determinants and health disparities.
Public Health Weeks goal is to create the healthiest nation in one generation. To get there we have to ensure
conditions that give everyone the opportunity to be healthy. Its not enough to provide access to quality health
care. We also need to build safe, healthy communities with a foundation of social justice for all. We must help
all Americans achieve at least a high school education, better ensure the opportunity to earn a livable wage
and improve access to safe, healthy food. We must protect our environment because what happens upstream
to our environment at work, school and home affects our health downstream.
This Public Health Week resolution calls upon the people of Scott County to observe the week by helping our
families, friends, neighbors, co-workers and leaders better understand the value of public health and adopt
preventive lifestyle habits of this years theme, Healthiest Nation 2030.
WHEREAS, the week of April 3 9, 2017, is National Public Health Week, and the theme is Healthiest
Nation 2030; and
WHEREAS, since 1995, the American Public Health Association, through its sponsorship of National
Public Health Week, has educated the public, policymakers and public health professionals about issues
important to improving the publics health; and
WHEREAS, Americans are living 20 years longer than their grandparents generation thanks largely to
the work of public health, yet people in many other high income countries are living longer and suffer few
health issues than Americans do; and
WHEREAS, Public Health is the foundation for a brighter tomorrow when we invest in the health and
safety of all residents, we enrich our community, bolster our economy, and strengthen our community: and
WHEREAS, public health professionals help communities prevent, prepare for, withstand, and recover
from the impact of a full range of health threats, including disease outbreaks such as the Zika virus, natural
disasters, and disasters caused by human activity; and
WHEREAS, while heart attack and stroke are still the nations top killers, the public health community
has helped achieve remarkable declines in deaths from both diseases: since 1950, deaths from cardiovascular
disease have declined 60 percent, and stroke rates have declined 70 percent; and
WHEREAS, during National Public Health Week, we recognize public health professionals and all who
care for the welfare of others, and we recommit to doing everything within our power to build a world where
everyone can enjoy the limitless possibilities of a healthy life.

Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda item is for the County Board and the public to receive information
regarding the Scott County Mental Health Local Advisory Council (LAC).
The Comprehensive Mental Health Act of 1987 and the Childrens Mental Health Act of 1989 require
counties to establish local mental health advisory councils. The purpose of the LAC is to access the
knowledge of a broad range of people who use mental health services, provide services, or are
concerned about public policy to find ways to improve local mental health services. The Act gives
LACs a broad role in the review, evaluation, and planning of local systems. One of the
responsibilities of the LAC is to make recommendations regarding the services provided by the local
mental health system and report to the County Board. John Stadler, Chair of the Scott County LAC,
will present information on the work of this group.

Background/Justification:
The purpose of this agenda item is to approve the Service Agreement with the Belle Plaine School District for
the provision of school-linked mental health services by the Scott County Mental Health Center.
The Belle Plaine School District is requesting a part-time (.5 full-time equivalent) staff to provide mental health
services in their schools. Scott County has been a recipient of grant funds to provide school-linked mental
health services to children and adolescents in Scott County schools since August 2008. Through this grant, the
Scott County Mental Health Center (MHC) has established successful partnerships with the schools including
the Belle Plaine School District.
School-linked mental health services are provided on-site in the schools. The therapists provide diagnostic
assessments, psychological evaluations, individual and group therapy, crisis assessments and intervention,
and connection to needed resources for students with significant mental health issues and their families.
Therapists also provide consultation and training to staff and parents regarding mental health issues and
resources. Mental health practitioners provide skills training and skills groups on an as needed basis to
students. Services are offered to students who would not otherwise have access to mental health resources.
Insurance is billed when students have coverage. Outcome measures gathered from parents, students,
therapists, and teachers indicate very positive results for students receiving services from the program
(improved functioning and symptom reduction).
This Service Agreement will allow for the continuation and expansion of school-linked mental health services in
the Belle Plaine School District due to increased need in these services as identified by school district
administration and staff. The additional position requested would be funded through insurance reimbursement
and the Belle Plaine School District. This Service Agreement will run from May 1, 2017 through April 2018.
Fiscal Impact:
The Service Agreement with the Belle Plaine School District for the MHC to provide school-linked mental
health services is budget neutral. Insurance will be billed for all eligible services. The Belle Plaine School
District would fully fund the salary, benefits, mileage, and equipment costs of the additional staff dedicated to
providing mental health services in their schools. A combination of district funding and third party billing would
make the added position in the Belle Plaine Schools revenue neutral to the County. Approval of this Service
Agreement does not negatively affect the Health and Human Services budget. If this Agreement is terminated
or not renewed, this position will be eliminated.
