 34.48  established in Minnesota Statutes,

 34.55  specifications to the pollution control 
 34.56  agency or receive a funding commitment 
 34.57  from USDA rural development before 
 34.58  December 1, 2001. In determining 
 34.59  whether the penalty factor under 
 34.60  Minnesota Rules, part 7077.0196, should 
 34.61  be applied to a project, the pollution 
 34.62  control agency shall, beginning with 
 34.63  the 2001 Intended Use Plan and Project 
 34.64  Priority list, first assess the impact 
 34.65  of the new or expanded discharge 
 35.1   compared to the impact of the 
 35.2   preexisting conditions and to the 
 35.3   impact of alternative discharge 
 35.4   locations.  If the agency determines 
 35.5   that the new or expanded discharge is 
 35.6   to a less environmentally sensitive 
 35.7   area or that it is the preferable 
 35.8   location for the discharge compared to 
 35.9   the alternatives, the agency shall not 
 35.10  apply the penalty factor to the project.
 35.11  The pollution control agency shall 
 35.12  include as a factor in prioritizing 
 35.13  projects whether a project is a 
 35.14  multijurisdictional project connecting 
 35.15  areas with failing onsite treatment 
 35.16  systems with an existing or regional 
 35.17  wastewater treatment system. 
 35.18  The authority shall set aside up to 
 35.19  $400,000 for the Innovative Technology 
 35.20  Grants Program to provide 50 percent 
 35.21  reimbursement for the cost of equipment 
 35.22  and installation into an existing 
 35.23  municipal wastewater treatment system.  
 35.24  The project must be approved by the 
 35.25  pollution control agency and 
 35.26  demonstrate the application of existing 
 35.27  technology that has not been used 
 35.28  before in the treatment of municipal 
 35.29  wastewater, but has the potential to 
 35.30  improve the treatment of wastewater or 
 35.31  make the treatment process more cost 
 35.32  effective. 
 35.33  Beginning with the 2001 intended use 
 35.34  plan, the pollution control agency 
 35.35  shall include whether a community has a 
 35.36  moratorium on development as a factor 
 35.37  in prioritizing projects.  The agency 
 35.38  shall adopt rules implementing the 
 35.39  provisions of this paragraph under 
 35.40  Minnesota Statutes, section 14.389.

 57.13  under this section. 
 57.14     (e)(1) The commissioner shall examine and consider all

 57.22  powers board under paragraph (f).  A grant award must not be 
 57.23  made until the participating districts determine the site of the 
 57.24  magnet school facility.  If the total amount of the approved 
 57.25  applications exceeds the amount of grant funding that is or can 
 57.26  be made available, the commissioner shall allot the available 
 57.27  amount equally between the approved applicant districts.  The 
 57.28  commissioner shall promptly certify to each qualified joint 
 57.29  powers board the amount, if any, of the grant awarded to it. 
 57.30     (f) Each grant must be evidenced by a contract between the 
 57.31  joint powers board and the state acting through the 
 57.32  commissioner.  The contract obligates the state to pay to the 
 57.33  joint powers board an amount computed according to paragraph 
 57.34  (e)(2) and a schedule, and terms and conditions acceptable to 
 57.35  the commissioner of finance.

 59.23  may be agreed on between the parties, of the board's 
 59.24  contribution to the improvements.  No other authorizing 
 59.25  legislation or legislative approval is required for an 
 59.26  acquisition, improvement, or sale under this section.  Proceeds 
 59.27  from the sale, lease, or improvement of real property under this

 65.14  government, are for the best interests of the state and are not 
 65.15  inconsistent with the laws of the state relating to armories, 
 65.16  and to accept such grants in the name of the state.  The 
 65.17  Minnesota state armory building commission is designated as the

 65.35  determined by order of the commissioner of finance to be 
 65.36  necessary to provide for the payment and security of bonds

 66.2   of each month, any money in the special revenue fund not 
 66.3   required to be transferred to the debt service fund must be 
 66.4   transferred to the general fund.  Except as provided in

 66.18  and credits to the lottery operations account.  Of the net 
 66.19  proceeds, 40 percent must be credited to the Minnesota

 66.26  to the special revenue fund must be transferred to the debt 
 66.27  service fund established in section 16A.67, subdivision 4, at 
 66.28  the times and in the amounts determined by the commissioner of

 66.34     Sec. 60.  Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 
 66.35  446A.072, subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 66.36     Subd. 4.  [FUNDING LEVEL.] (a) The authority shall provide 
 67.1   supplemental assistance for essential project component costs as 
 67.2   certified by the commissioner of the pollution control agency 
 67.3   under section 116.182, subdivision 4.  
 67.4      (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), a municipality may 
 67.5   not receive more than $4,000,000, or $15,000 per existing 
 67.6   connection, whichever is less, under this section unless 
 67.7   specifically approved by law.  If a project would be eligible 
 67.8   for more than $4,000,000 under paragraph (e), the authority 
 67.9   shall include a description of the project and the financing 
 67.10  plan in its report on needs in subdivision 11. 
 67.11     (c) A sanitary district or multijurisdictional wastewater 
 67.12  treatment district may receive an additional $1,000,000 for each 
 67.13  municipality participating up to a maximum grant of $8,000,000, 
 67.14  unless a higher amount is specifically approved by law.  If a 
 67.15  project would be eligible for more than $8,000,000 under 
 67.16  paragraph (e), the authority shall include a description of the 
 67.17  project and the financing plan in its report on needs in 
 67.18  subdivision 11. 
 67.19     (d) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance for 
 67.20  up to one-half of the eligible grant funding level determined by 
 67.21  the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development 
 67.22  funding for projects listed on the agency's project priority 
 67.23  list, in priority order.  In the case of multijurisdictional 
 67.24  projects when the United States Department of Agriculture Rural 
 67.25  Development is unable to fully fund up to one-half of the 
 67.26  eligible grant amount, the authority may provide up to an 
 67.27  additional $1,000,000 for each municipality participating up to 
 67.28  the limits under paragraph (c) but not to exceed the maximum 
 67.29  grant level determined by the United States Department of 
 67.30  Agriculture Rural Development as needed to keep the project 
 67.31  affordable.  For municipalities that are not eligible for United 
 67.32  States Department of Agriculture Rural Development funding for 
 67.33  wastewater, the authority shall provide supplemental assistance 
 67.34  for:  (1) essential project component costs calculated by first 
 67.35  determining the amount needed to reduce a municipality's annual 
 67.36  residential sewer costs to 1.4 percent of the municipality's 
 68.1   median household income or $25 per month per household, 
 68.2   whichever is greater, and then multiplying that amount by 80 
 68.3   percent to determine the actual award amount to supplement loans 
 68.4   under section 446A.07; and (2) up to 50 percent of the 
 68.5   incremental costs specifically identified by the agency as being 
 68.6   attributable to more stringent wastewater standards required to 
 68.7   protect outstanding resource value waters or outstanding 
 68.8   international resource value waters. 
 68.9      (e) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), in the event that a 
 68.10  municipality's monthly residential sewer service charges average 
 68.11  above $50, the authority will provide 90 percent of the grant 
 68.12  amount needed to reduce the average monthly sewer service charge 
 68.13  to $50, provided the project is ranked in the top 50 percentile 
 68.14  of the agency's intended use plan. 
 68.15     (f) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance to 
 68.16  a municipality that would not otherwise qualify for supplemental 
 68.17  assistance if: 
 68.18     (1) the municipality voluntarily accepts a sewer connection 
 68.19  from another governmental unit to serve residential, industrial, 
 68.20  or commercial developments that were completed before March 1, 
 68.21  1996, or are on lots whose plats were recorded before that date; 
 68.22  and 
 68.23     (2) fees charged by the municipality for the connection 
 68.24  must take into account state and federal grants used by the 
 68.25  municipality for the construction of the treatment plant. 
 68.26  The amount of supplemental assistance under this paragraph must 
 68.27  be sufficient to reduce debt service payments under section 
 68.28  446A.07 to an extent equivalent to a zero percent loan in an 
 68.29  amount up to the other governmental unit's project costs 
 68.30  necessary for connection.  Eligibility for supplemental 
 68.31  assistance under this paragraph ends three years after the 
 68.32  agency certifies that the connection has met the operational 
 68.33  performance standards established by the agency. 
 68.34     Sec. 61.  Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 462A.202, 
 68.35  subdivision 2, is amended to read:

 69.2   acquisition, improvement, and rehabilitation of existing housing 
 69.3   properties or the acquisition, site improvement, and development 
 69.4   of new properties for the purposes of providing transitional 
 69.5   housing, upon terms and conditions the agency determines.  For

 69.7   that is provided for a limited duration not exceeding 24 months, 
 69.8   except that up to one-third of the residents may live in the 
 69.9   housing for up to 36 months.  Preference must be given to cities 
 69.10  that propose to acquire properties being sold by the resolution 
 69.11  trust corporation or the department of housing and urban 
 69.12  development.  Loans under this subdivision are subject to the 
 69.13  restrictions in subdivision 7.
