 43.5      Subd. 6.  [BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL BETTERMENT.] 
 43.6   The detailed operating budget and capital budget must include

 43.8   commissioner of finance, in consultation with the commissioner 
 43.9   of administration, the board of trustees of the Minnesota state 
 43.10  colleges and universities, and the regents of the University of 
 43.11  Minnesota, shall establish budget guidelines for building 
 43.12  maintenance and betterment appropriations.  Unless otherwise 
 43.13  provided by the commissioner of finance, the combined amount to 
 43.14  be budgeted each year for building maintenance and betterment in 
 43.15  the operating budget and capital budget is two one percent of 
 43.16  the replacement cost of the building, adjusted up or down 
 43.17  depending on the age and condition of the building. 
 43.18     Sec. 33.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.501, is 
 43.19  amended to read: 
 43.20     16A.501 [REPORT ON EXPENDITURE OF BOND PROCEEDS.] 
 43.21     The commissioner of finance must report annually to the 
 43.22  legislature on the degree to which entities receiving 
 43.23  appropriations of bond proceeds for capital projects in previous 
 43.24  omnibus capital improvement acts have encumbered or expended 
 43.25  that money.  The report must be submitted to the chairs of the 
 43.26  house of representatives ways and means committee and the senate 
 43.27  finance committee by February 1 of each year. 
 43.28     Sec. 34.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.632, 
 43.29  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 43.30     Subd. 2.  [STANDARDS.] Article XI, section 5, clause (a), 
 43.31  of the constitution states general obligation bonds may be 
 43.32  issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment of state 
 43.33  land, buildings, and improvements of a capital nature.  In 
 43.34  interpreting this and applying it to the purposes of the program 
 43.35  contemplated in this section, the following standards are 
 43.36  adopted for the disbursement of money from the capital asset 
 44.1   preservation and replacement account:  
 44.2      (a) No new land, buildings, or major new improvements will 
 44.3   be acquired.  These projects, including all capital expenditures 
 44.4   required to permit their effective use for the intended purpose 
 44.5   on completion, will be estimated and provided for individually 
 44.6   through a direct appropriation for each project.  
 44.7      (b) An expenditure will be made from the account only when 
 44.8   it is a capital expenditure on a capital asset previously owned 
 44.9   by the state, within the meaning of accepted accounting 
 44.10  principles as applied to public expenditures.  The commissioner 
 44.11  of administration will consult with the commissioner of finance 
 44.12  to the extent necessary to ensure this and will furnish the 
 44.13  commissioner of finance a list of projects to be financed from 
 44.14  the account in order of their priority.  The commissioner shall 
 44.15  also furnish each revision of the list.  The legislature assumes 
 44.16  that many provisions for preservation and replacement of 
 44.17  portions of existing capital assets will constitute betterments 
 44.18  and capital improvements within the meaning of the constitution 
 44.19  and capital expenditures under correct accounting principles, 
 44.20  and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the 
 44.21  program than by direct appropriations for specific projects.  
 44.22  However, the purpose of the program is to accumulate data 
 44.23  showing how additional costs may be saved by appropriating money 
 44.24  from the general fund for preservation measures, the necessity 
 44.25  of which is predictable over short periods.  
 44.26     (c) The commissioner of administration will furnish 
 44.27  instructions to agencies to apply for funding of capital 
 44.28  expenditures for preservation and replacement from the account, 
 44.29  will review applications, will make initial allocations among 
 44.30  types of eligible projects enumerated below, will determine 
 44.31  priorities, and will allocate money in priority order until the 
 44.32  available appropriation has been committed.  
 44.33     (d) Categories of projects considered likely to be most 
 44.34  needed and appropriate for financing are the following:  
 44.35     (1) unanticipated emergencies of all kinds, for which a 
 44.36  relatively small amount should be initially reserved, replaced 
 45.1   from money allocated to low-priority projects, if possible, as 
 45.2   emergencies occur, and used for stabilization rather than 
 45.3   replacement if the cost would exhaust the account and should be 
 45.4   specially appropriated; 
 45.5      (2) projects to remove life safety hazards, like 
 45.6   replacement of mechanical systems, building code violations, or 
 45.7   structural defects, at costs not large enough to require major 
 45.8   capital requests to the legislature; 
 45.9      (3) elimination or containment of hazardous substances like 
 45.10  asbestos or PCBs; and 
 45.11     (4) moderate cost replacement and repair of roofs, windows, 
 45.12  tuckpointing, and structural members necessary to preserve the 
 45.13  exterior and interior of existing buildings; and 
 45.14     (5) up to ten percent of an appropriation awarded under 
 45.15  this section may be used for design costs for projects eligible 
 45.16  to be funded from this account in anticipation of future funding 
 45.17  from the account.  
 45.18     Sec. 35.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.86, 
 45.19  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 45.20     Subd. 3.  [EVALUATION.] (a) The commissioner shall evaluate 
 45.21  all requests from political subdivisions for state assistance 
 45.22  based on the following criteria: 
 45.23     (1) the political subdivision has provided for local, 
 45.24  private, and user financing for the project to the maximum 
 45.25  extent possible; 
 45.26     (2) the project helps fulfill an important state mission; 
 45.27     (3) the project is of regional or statewide significance; 
 45.28     (4) the project will not require new or any additional 
 45.29  state operating subsidies; 
 45.30     (5) the project will not expand the state's role in a new 
 45.31  policy area; 
 45.32     (6) state funding for the project will not create 
 45.33  significant inequities among local jurisdictions; 
 45.34     (7) the project will not compete with other facilities in 
 45.35  such a manner that they lose a significant number of users to 
 45.36  the new project; and 
 46.1      (8) the governing bodies of those political subdivisions 
 46.2   primarily benefiting from the project have passed resolutions in 
 46.3   support of the project and have established priorities for their 
 46.4   projects when submitting multiple requests; and 
 46.5      (9) if a predesign that meets the requirements of section 
 46.6   16B.335 has been completed and is available at the time the 
 46.7   project request is submitted to the commissioner of finance, the 
 46.8   applicant has submitted the project predesign to the 
 46.9   commissioner of administration. 
 46.10     (b) The commissioner's evaluation of each request, 
 46.11  including whether it meets each of the criteria in paragraph 
 46.12  (a), must be submitted to the legislature along with the 
 46.13  governor's recommendations under section 16A.11, subdivision 1, 
 46.14  whether or not the governor recommends that the request be 
 46.15  funded. 
 46.16     Sec. 36.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16B.335, 
 46.17  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 46.18     Subd. 3.  [PREDESIGN REQUIREMENT.] The definitions in 
 46.19  paragraphs (a) and (b) apply to this section. 
 46.20     (a) "Predesign" means the stage in the development of a 
 46.21  project during which the purpose, scope, cost, and schedule of 
 46.22  the complete project are defined and instructions to design 
 46.23  professionals are produced.  
 46.24     (b) "Design" means the stage in the development of a 
 46.25  project during which schematic, design development, and contract 
 46.26  documents are produced. 
 46.27     (c) A recipient to whom an appropriation is made for a 
 46.28  project subject to review under subdivision 1 or notice under 
 46.29  subdivision 2 shall prepare a predesign package and submit it to 
 46.30  the commissioner for review and recommendation before proceeding 
 46.31  with design activities.  The commissioner must complete the 
 46.32  review and recommendation within ten working days after 
 46.33  receiving it.  Failure to review and recommend within the ten 
 46.34  days is considered a positive recommendation.  The predesign 
 46.35  package must be sufficient to define the purpose, scope, cost, 
 46.36  and schedule of the project and must demonstrate that the 
 47.1   project has been analyzed according to appropriate space needs 
 47.2   standards. 
 47.3      (d) This subdivision does not apply to capital projects for 
 47.4   park buildings owned by a local government unit in the 
 47.5   metropolitan area defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2. 
 47.6      Sec. 37.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 85.019,

 47.9   shall administer a program to provide grants to units of 
 47.10  government and school districts for the acquisition and 
 47.11  betterment of natural and scenic areas such as blufflands, 
 47.12  prairies, shorelands, wetlands, and wooded areas.  A grant may 
 47.13  not exceed 50 percent or $500,000, whichever is less, of the 
 47.14  costs of acquisition and betterment of land acquired under this 
 47.15  subdivision.  The commissioner shall make payment to a unit of 
 47.16  government upon receiving documentation of reimbursable 
 47.17  expenditures.

 47.24  that connect communities, trails, and parks and thereby increase 
 47.25  the effective length of trail experiences.  Recipients must 
 47.26  provide a nonstate cash match of at least one-half of total 
 47.27  eligible project costs.  If land used for the trails is not in

 47.29  dedicated to the purposes of the grants for at least 20 
 47.30  years.  The commissioner shall make payment to a unit of

 48.3      Subdivision 1.  [ESTABLISHMENT.] The board of water and 
 48.4   soil resources shall establish a program to acquire conservation

 50.13  be completed, the commissioner must cancel the grant and require 
 50.14  the grantee to return all grant money awarded for that project.  
 50.15  For industrial park development projects, if after five years 
 50.16  the industrial park is not developed and available for business 
 50.17  use, the commissioner must cancel the grant and require the 
 50.18  grantee to return all grant money for that project.  If the 
 50.19  industrial park is developed and available for use within five 
 50.20  years, but no businesses have located in the park, the grantee 
 50.21  is not required to return any grant money.  
 50.22     Subd. 8.  [APPROPRIATION.] Grant money returned to the

 50.30  used for eligible costs for publicly owned property.  Money in 
 50.31  the general fund may be used to pay for the commissioner's costs 
 50.32  in reviewing the applications.

 55.28     Sec. 50.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 136F.60, 
 55.29  subdivision 1, is amended to read: 
 55.30     Subdivision 1.  [PURCHASE OF NEIGHBORING PROPERTY; STATE 
 55.31  UNIVERSITIES.] The board may purchase property adjacent to or in 
 55.32  the vicinity of the campuses as necessary for the development of 
 55.33  a state college or university.  Before taking action, the board 
 55.34  shall consult with the chairs of the senate finance committee 
 55.35  and the house ways and means committee about the proposed 
 55.36  action.  The board shall explain the need to acquire property, 
 56.1   specify the property to be acquired, and indicate the source and 
 56.2   amount of money needed for the acquisition.  The amount needed 
 56.3   may be spent from sums previously appropriated for purposes of

 56.10     Sec. 51.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 446A.072, 
 56.11  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 56.12     Subd. 4.  [FUNDING LEVEL.] (a) The authority shall provide 
 56.13  supplemental assistance for essential project component costs as 
 56.14  certified by the commissioner of the pollution control agency 
 56.15  under section 116.182, subdivision 4.  
 56.16     (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), a municipality may 
 56.17  not receive more than $4,000,000, or $15,000 per existing 
 56.18  connection, whichever is less, under this section unless 
 56.19  specifically approved by law.  If a project would be eligible 
 56.20  for more than $4,000,000 under paragraph (e), the authority 
 56.21  shall include a description of the project and the financing 
 56.22  plan in its report on needs in subdivision 11.  For a 
 56.23  municipality receiving grant funding after January 1, 2002, the 
 56.24  authority shall provide assistance in the form of a grant of up 
 56.25  to $30,000 per existing connection if the authority determines 
 56.26  that the municipality's construction and installation costs are 
 56.27  significantly increased due to geological conditions and more 
 56.28  stringent discharge limits. 
 56.29     (c) A sanitary district or multijurisdictional wastewater 
 56.30  treatment district may receive an additional $1,000,000 for each 
 56.31  municipality participating up to a maximum grant of $8,000,000, 
 56.32  unless a higher amount is specifically approved by law.  If a 
 56.33  project would be eligible for more than $8,000,000 under 
 56.34  paragraph (e), the authority shall include a description of the 
 56.35  project and the financing plan in its report on needs in 
 56.36  subdivision 11. 
 57.1      (d) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance for 
 57.2   up to one-half of the eligible grant funding level determined by 
 57.3   the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development 
 57.4   funding for projects listed on the agency's project priority 
 57.5   list, in priority order.  In the case of multijurisdictional 
 57.6   projects when the United States Department of Agriculture Rural 
 57.7   Development is unable to fully fund up to one-half of the 
 57.8   eligible grant amount, the authority may provide up to an 
 57.9   additional $1,000,000 for each municipality participating up to 
 57.10  the limits under paragraph (c) but not to exceed the maximum 
 57.11  grant level determined by the United States Department of 
 57.12  Agriculture Rural Development as needed to keep the project 
 57.13  affordable.  For municipalities that are not eligible for United 
 57.14  States Department of Agriculture Rural Development funding for 
 57.15  wastewater, the authority shall provide supplemental assistance 
 57.16  for:  (1) essential project component costs calculated by first 
 57.17  determining the amount needed to reduce a municipality's annual 
 57.18  residential sewer costs to 1.4 percent of the municipality's 
 57.19  median household income or $25 per month per household, 
 57.20  whichever is greater, and then multiplying that amount by 80 
 57.21  percent to determine the actual award amount to supplement loans 
 57.22  under section 446A.07; and (2) up to 50 percent of the 
 57.23  incremental costs specifically identified by the agency as being 
 57.24  attributable to more stringent wastewater standards required to 
 57.25  protect outstanding resource value waters or outstanding 
 57.26  international resource value waters. 
 57.27     (e) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), in the event that a 
 57.28  municipality's monthly residential sewer service charges average 
 57.29  above $50, the authority will provide 90 percent of the grant 
 57.30  amount needed to reduce the average monthly sewer service charge 
 57.31  to $50, provided the project is ranked in the top 50 percentile 
 57.32  of the agency's intended use plan. 
 57.33     (f) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance to 
 57.34  a municipality that would not otherwise qualify for supplemental 
 57.35  assistance if: 
 57.36     (1) the municipality voluntarily accepts a sewer connection 
 58.1   from another governmental unit to serve residential, industrial, 
 58.2   or commercial developments that were completed before March 1, 
 58.3   1996, or are on lots whose plats were recorded before that date; 
 58.4   and 
 58.5      (2) fees charged by the municipality for the connection 
 58.6   must take into account state and federal grants used by the 
 58.7   municipality for the construction of the treatment plant. 
 58.8   The amount of supplemental assistance under this paragraph must 
 58.9   be sufficient to reduce debt service payments under section 
 58.10  446A.07 to an extent equivalent to a zero percent loan in an 
 58.11  amount up to the other governmental unit's project costs 
 58.12  necessary for connection.  Eligibility for supplemental 
 58.13  assistance under this paragraph ends three years after the 
 58.14  agency certifies that the connection has met the operational 
 58.15  performance standards established by the agency. 
 58.16     Sec. 52.  Laws 2000, chapter 492, article 1, section 15, 
 58.17  subdivision 4, is amended to read:

 58.19  Military Museum at Camp Ripley                          125,000
 58.20  To upgrade the electrical and lighting, 
 58.21  and heating, ventilation, and air 
 58.22  conditioning systems in the main 
 58.23  building of the Minnesota military 
 58.24  museum, to design and, construct, 
 58.25  furnish and equip, including permanent 
 58.26  display cases, an addition to the 
 58.27  museum, and to insulate a heating 
 58.28  system in building I-40.  The adjutant 
 58.29  general may enter into a lease or 
 58.30  management agreement for the museum, 
 58.31  subject to Minnesota Statutes, section 
 58.32  16A.695. 
 58.33     Sec. 53.  Laws 2000, chapter 492, article 1, section 22, 
 58.34  subdivision 3, as amended by Laws 2000, chapter 499, section 15, 
 58.35  which amendment was reenacted in Laws 2001, First Special 
 58.36  Session chapter 12, section 15, is amended to read: 
 58.37  Subd. 3.  Wastewater Infrastructure                            
 58.38  Funding Program                                      18,319,000 
 58.39  $6,309,000 $4,309,000 of this 
 58.40  appropriation is from the general fund 
 58.41  of which $319,000 is to administer the 
 58.42  wastewater infrastructure fund program. 
 58.43  To the public facilities authority for 
 58.44  grants to eligible municipalities under 
 58.45  the wastewater infrastructure program 
 58.46  established in Minnesota Statutes, 
 59.1   section 446A.072. 
 59.2   To the greatest extent practical, the 
 59.3   authority should use the grants for 
 59.4   projects on the 2000 intended use plan 
 59.5   in priority order to qualified 
 59.6   applicants that submit plans and 
 59.7   specifications to the pollution control 
 59.8   agency or receive a funding commitment 
 59.9   from USDA rural development before 
 59.10  December 1, 2001.  In determining 
 59.11  whether the penalty factor under 
 59.12  Minnesota Rules, part 7077.0196, should 
 59.13  be applied to a project, the pollution 
 59.14  control agency shall, beginning with 
 59.15  the 2001 Intended Use Plan and Project 
 59.16  Priority list, first assess the impact 
 59.17  of the new or expanded discharge 
 59.18  compared to the impact of the 
 59.19  preexisting conditions and to the 
 59.20  impact of alternative discharge 
 59.21  locations.  If the agency determines 
 59.22  that the new or expanded discharge is 
 59.23  to a less environmentally sensitive 
 59.24  area or that it is the preferable 
 59.25  location for the discharge compared to 
 59.26  the alternatives, the agency shall not 
 59.27  apply the penalty factor to the 
 59.28  project.  The pollution control agency 
 59.29  shall include as a factor in 
 59.30  prioritizing projects whether a project 
 59.31  is a multijurisdictional project 
 59.32  connecting areas with failing onsite 
 59.33  treatment systems with an existing or 
 59.34  regional wastewater treatment system. 
 59.35  The authority shall set aside up to 
 59.36  $400,000 for the Innovative Technology 
 59.37  Grants Program to provide 50 percent 
 59.38  reimbursement for the cost of equipment 
 59.39  and installation into an existing 
 59.40  municipal wastewater treatment system.  
 59.41  The project must be approved by the 
 59.42  pollution control agency and 
 59.43  demonstrate the application of existing 
 59.44  technology that has not been used 
 59.45  before in the treatment of municipal 
 59.46  wastewater, but has the potential to 
 59.47  improve the treatment of wastewater or 
 59.48  make the treatment process more cost 
 59.49  effective. 
 59.50  Beginning with the 2001 intended use 
 59.51  plan, the pollution control agency 
 59.52  shall include whether a community has a 
 59.53  moratorium on development as a factor 
 59.54  in prioritizing projects.  The agency 
 59.55  shall adopt rules implementing the 
 59.56  provisions of this paragraph under 
 59.57  Minnesota Statutes, section 14.389. 
 59.58     Sec. 54.  Laws 2000, chapter 492, article 1, section 22, 
 59.59  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 59.60  Subd. 4.  Clean Water Partnership                     2,000,000

 59.62  control fund under Minnesota Statutes, 
 59.63  section 446A.07, for the clean water 
 59.64  partnership loan program under 
 60.1   Minnesota Statutes, section 
 60.2   103F.725.  This appropriation is from 
 60.3   the general fund. 
 60.4      Sec. 55.  Laws 2000, chapter 492, article 1, section 27, is 
 60.5   amended to read: 
 60.6      Sec. 27.  [CANCELLATIONS AND TRANSFERS.]

 60.8   section 18, for the design of the labor interpretive center is 
 60.9   canceled.  The bond sale authorization in Laws 1994, chapter 
 60.10  643, section 31, subdivision 1, is reduced by $734,000. 
 60.11     (b) The $1,100,000 appropriation in Laws 1994, chapter 643, 
 60.12  section 19, subdivision 9, as amended by Laws 1995, chapter 224,
