Mid-Minnesota Development Commission
State Certified Building Inspection ServicesThe Mid-Minnesota Develop
ment Commission (MMDC) hadtwo fully certified state buildingofficials on its staff that provide in-
tB!r-----........
spection and plan review servicesfor communities that have adoptedthe State Building Code during2005. The Commission's Economic Development Director isalso a fully licensed CertifiedBuilding Official. This gives theDepartment the added ability to usehis assistance on occasions whenwork gets very busy. The StateBuilding Code sets constructionstandards to assure the health,safety, comfort, and security ofbuilding occupants.
MMDC had contracts with 19local units of government in providing this service during the calendar year. These jurisdictions included: in Kandiyohi County: Atwater, Blomkest, Dovre Township,Kandiyohi, New London, Pennock,and Spicer; in McLeod County:Brownton and Stewart; in MeekerCounty: Cosmos, Darwin, Dassel,and Grove City; in RenvilleCounty: Bird Island and Fairfax; inWright County: Cokato and Stockholm Township; in Stearns County:
Paynesville and Richmond. Thecombined population for these jurisdictions served is over 20,000 persons. The Department also assistedthe City of Cold Spring with commercial plan reviews and inspections.
Additional inspections are beingmade in the communities of BuffaloLake, Sacred Heart, Hector, andLake Lillian under the State Hazardous Building Act. Staff also providesaccessibility inspections on occasionfor Renville County.
Department staff have receivedtraining and provided service with
lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments. u.S. Department of Housingand Urban Development regulations require these inspections in housing projects that they participate in. As few persons have both the training and equipment to provide this service in SouthwestMinnesota, MMDC provides this servicewithin and outside of our four-countyRegion. Analysis of asbestos concerns isanother service the Department offers.Lastly, the Building Inspectors providehousing rehabilitation inspection servicesfor both the Hutchinson and WillmarHRAs.

Other principal accomplishmentsand activities that have been undertaken by the Community Planning/Development Department over thecourse of the past calendar year arehighlighted below:
In 2005, the Commission provided a wide variety of assistance tothe Region's counties and cities. Oneof the largest projects was the continuation of work in developing Hazard Mitigation Plans for Kandiyohi,Meeker and Renville Counties. The
Emergency Response Cycle Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000,.. passed by the United States Con-
gress, requires that all states andcounties prepare comprehensiveAll-Hazard Mitigation plans toidentify risks and develop strategies to reduce losses. These plansare based on prioritizing the likelihood of damage to life and property from natural or technologicaldisasters, then laying out steps tominimize those risks. In preparingthese plans, staff is working withcounty, city and township officials,emergency managers, policechiefs, fire fighters, planners, andothers. Grants were received toconduct these plans. During theyear, the Commission has also sub-mitted an application for a grant to
conduct a Hazard Mitigation Plan forMcLeod County. The funding decision for this grant will occur sometime in 2006.
The Community Development Department is able to provide a wide array of community development, planning projects, and miscellaneous activities for local units of government.This particular program area is not tiedto any State or Federally funded program, but funded through servicecharges that are subsidized by the useof the Commission's general fund.Consequently, the Commission primarily provides technical services wherethey are most needed to local units ofgovernment.
Each year the staff offers assistance to local units of government on awide range of services, including comprehensive land use plans, zoning andsubdivision ordinances, ordinancecodification, grant and loan writing,community surveys, public facilitiesplanning, housing studies, and mapping projects, as well as many othertechnical services. As one of Minnesota's State Data Centers, the MMDCregularly provides businesses, non-

In the fourth quarter of
Annual Report
2004, LSS received a grant fromBremer to add a component to this program that promotes a consumerdirected option available to caregiverswho are interested. An example of thisoption is that a family member mayhire respite to be provided by a certified nursing assistant (CNA). In thiscase, the family acts as the employer;and the CNA is a subcontractor.

The new Coalition was formed,with MMDC assistance, to work towards raising awareness of the access, safety, and capacity challengesfacing the Highway 15 Corridor. In2005, much of the work that wasdone was working on getting theCoalition up and running. One of theprimary first goals of the Coalition isto seek a Congressional allocation ofdollars to be able to conduct a corridor study to identify specific safetyand access needs along the corridor.
Kandiyohi County is conductinga roadway jurisdictional study to becompleted in 2006. The Commission is assisting the county with thisstudy. The project involves the examination of each roadway segmentand objectively determining whichlevel of jurisdiction should logicallyown and maintain it. Roadway significance, tax capacity, and spacing,among other variables, are all beingexamined to make the determinations.
Another major transportationproject that has begun in 2005 andwill be completed in 2006 is MeekerCounty's Pedestrian and BicycleTrail Plan. Staff if assisting theMeeker County Trails Committee inpreparing this plan. The plan sets inplace goals, policies, and implementation steps for future trails.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)MMDC has been providing
GIS mapping services since1996. In 2005, MMDC hiredits second full time GIS staffperson to keep pace with thedemand for these Commissionservices. Through the years ofoperation, the Commission hasalways provided a means ofassisting clientele with theirmapping needs. Since thattime the Commission has madeover 500 specialty maps for avariety of clients. By movinginto GIS, the Commission offers a much more sophisticatedlevel of computer map-makingthat is tied to databases. Notonly can staff quickly and easily update maps, but they canuse the software program tomake in-depth analysis on avariety of topics. GIS is a"computer-based tool for mapping and analyzing things thatexist and events that happen onearth. GIS technology integrates common database operations such as query and statistical analysis with the uniquevisualization and geographicanalysis benefits offered bymaps." (ESRI)
GIS has become widelyused in recent years. There arelimitless applications for whereand how it can be used. Majorareas of application include:urban planning, zoning, planreviews, transportation planning, environmental impactand management analysis, vehicle routing, public facilitiesmanagement, and business location analysis to name just afew.
