CentraCare's fifth year in operation and reviewed what is currently happening. Mr. Bauck
focused on the services provided by them and would like to know what Otsego's plan is and
where help is needed. CentraCare now provides service for Inpatient Geriatric Behavioral
Health Care, a high quality Reduced Cost of Surgical Care Center and are partnering with the

better view of what is being offered there. CM Tanner mentioned that the City of Otsego is
really proud of the parks we have. CM Heidner noted the involvement with our Summer Safety
