Otter Tail County commissioners are set to meet as the county’s Human Services Board and the County Board Tuesday in the commissioners’ room at the Government Services Center.
During the Human Services Board meeting, the commissioners are expected to hold a dog bite hearing at 9:30 a.m. during Public Health business.
The Public Health director is also scheduled to update the board on funding and a Safe Communities Board resolution.

During the county board meeting, the board is scheduled to discuss a funding request made last week by the American Legion Post 17 in Pelican Rapids.
