57.12 	obligation bonds be issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment of public land, 
57.13 	buildings, and other public improvements of a capital nature. Money appropriated for 
57.14 	asset preservation, whether from state bond proceeds or from other revenue, is subject to 
57.15 	the following additional limitations:

57.35 	of existing buildings; and
58.1 	(4) projects to renovate parking structures.
58.2 	(d) Up to ten percent of an appropriation subject to this section may be used for 
58.3 	design costs for projects eligible to be funded under this section in anticipation of future

61.30 	of the grant funds received. The commissioner must deposit all money received under 
61.31 	this subdivision into the debt service fund.

61.32 	Sec. 34. Minnesota Statutes 2005 Supplement, section 116J.575, subdivision 1, is 
61.33 	amended to read:
61.34 		Subdivision 1.Commissioner discretion. The commissioner may make a grant 
61.35 	for up to 50 percent of the eligible costs of a project. The commissioner shall, in each 
62.1 	grant cycle, make grants so that 50 percent of the dollar value of grants for that cycle 
62.2 	are for projects located outside of the metropolitan area and 50 percent are for projects 
62.3 	located within the metropolitan area. This allocation of funds does not apply for any grant 
62.4 	cycle in which the applications received by the application deadline are insufficient to 
62.5 	permit the equal division of grants between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan projects. 
62.6 	The determination of whether to make a grant for a site is within the discretion of the 
62.7 	commissioner, subject to this section and sections 116J.571 to 116J.574 and available 
62.8 	unencumbered money in the redevelopment account. Notwithstanding section 116J.573, 
62.9 	if the commissioner determines that the applications for grants for projects in greater 
62.10 	Minnesota are less than the amount of grant funds available, the commissioner may 
62.11 	make grants for projects anywhere in Minnesota. The commissioner's decisions and 
62.12 	application of the priorities under this section are not subject to judicial review, except 
62.13 	for abuse of discretion.

62.14 	Sec. 35. Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 123A.44, is amended to read:
62.15 	123A.44 CITATION.
62.16 	Sections  123A.441 to  123A.446 may be cited as the "Cooperative Secondary
62.17 	Facilities Grant Act." 

62.18 	Sec. 36. Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 123A.441, is amended to read:
62.19 	123A.441 POLICY AND PURPOSE.
62.20 	Because of the rates of decline in school-aged population, population shifts and 
62.21 	economic changes that the state has experienced in recent years and anticipates in future 
62.22 	years, and because in some instances local districts have not, and will not be able to 
62.23 	provide the required construction funds through local property taxes, the purpose of the 
62.24 	cooperative secondary facilities grant program is to provide an incentive to encourage 
62.25 	cooperation in making available to all secondary students those educational programs, 
62.26 	services and facilities that are most efficiently and effectively provided by a cooperative 
62.27 	effort of several school districts. The policy and purpose of sections  123A.442 to  
62.28 	123A.446 is to use the credit of the state, to a limited degree, to provide grants to 
62.29 	cooperating groups of districts to improve and expand the educational opportunities and 
62.30 	facilities available to their secondary students. 

62.31 	Sec. 37. Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 123A.442, is amended to read:
62.32 	123A.442 APPROVAL AUTHORITY; APPLICATION FORMS.

63.4 	or site of a cooperative secondary facility under contracts to be entered into within 15 
63.5 	months after the date on which each grant is awarded. 
63.6 		Subd. 2.Cooperation and combination. Districts that have not already 
63.7 	consolidated and receive a cooperative secondary facilities grant after May 1, 1991, shall:

63.9 	approval by the State Board of Education before December 31, 1999, or Department of 
63.10 	Education after December 30, 1999; and 
63.11 	(2) hold a referendum on the question of combination consolidation no later than 
63.12 	four years after a grant is awarded under subdivision 1.
63.13 	The districts are eligible for cooperation and combination consolidation revenue 
63.14 	under section  123A.39, subdivision 3 123A.485.

65.31 	certificate must show, as to each outstanding bond issue of each member district, the 
65.32 	amount originally issued, the purpose for which issued, the date of issue, the amount 
65.33 	remaining unpaid as of the date of the resolution, and the interest rates and due dates 
65.34 	and amounts of principal thereon. Applications and necessary data must be in the

66.13 	applications exceeds the amount that is or can be made available, the commissioner 
66.14 	shall allot the available amount equally between the approved applicant districts. The 
66.15 	commissioner shall promptly certify to each qualified district the amount, if any, of the 
66.16 	grant awarded to it.
66.17 		Subd. 6.Collocation grant. A group of districts that receives a grant for a new 
66.18 	facility under subdivision 4 is also eligible to receive an additional grant in the amount of 
66.19 	$1,000,000. To receive the additional grant, the group of districts must develop a plan 
66.20 	under subdivision 2, paragraph (d), that provides for the location of a significant number

66.23 		Subd. 7.Referendum; bond issue. Within 180 days after being awarded a grant 
66.24 	for a new facility under subdivision 5, the joint powers board must submit the question 
66.25 	of authorizing the borrowing of funds for the secondary facility to the voters of the joint 
66.26 	powers district at a special election, which may be held in conjunction with the annual 
66.27 	election of the school board members of the member districts. The question submitted 
66.28 	must state the total amount of funding needed from all sources. A majority of those voting 
66.29 	in the affirmative on the question is sufficient to authorize the joint powers board to accept 
66.30 	the grant and to issue the bonds on public sale in accordance with according to chapter 
66.31 	475. The clerk of the joint powers board must certify the vote of the bond election to the 
66.32 	commissioner. If the question is approved by the voters, the commissioner shall notify the 
66.33 	approved applicant districts that the grant amount certified under subdivision 5 is available 
66.34 	and appropriated for payment under this subdivision. If a majority of those voting on the 
66.35 	question do not vote in the affirmative, the grant must be canceled.
67.1 		Subd. 8.Contract. Each grant must be evidenced by a contract between the board 
67.2 	and the state acting through the commissioner. The contract obligates the state to pay to 
67.3 	the board an amount computed according to subdivision 5, and according to a schedule, 
67.4 	and terms and conditions acceptable to the commissioner of finance.
67.5 		Subd. 9.Consolidation. A group of districts that operates a cooperative secondary
67.6 	facility that was acquired, constructed, remodeled, or improved under this section and 
67.7 	implements consolidation proceedings according to section  123A.48, may propose a 
67.8 	temporary school board structure in the petition or resolution required under section  
67.9 	123A.48, subdivision 2. The districts may propose the number of existing school board 
67.10 	members of each district to become members of the board of the consolidated district 
67.11 	and a method to gradually reduce the membership to six or seven. The proposal must 
67.12 	be approved, disapproved, or modified by the state board of education commissioner. 
67.13 	The election requirements of section  123A.48, subdivision 20, do not apply to a 
67.14 	proposal approved by the state board. Elections conducted after the effective date of the 
67.15 	consolidation are subject to the Minnesota Election Law.

67.24 	student union, food service, and related parking purposes at, or for any other similar 
67.25 	revenue-producing building or buildings of such type and character as the board finds 
67.26 	desirable for the good and benefit of the state universities. Before issuing the bonds or any 
67.27 	part of them, the board shall consult with and obtain the advisory recommendations of the 
67.28 	chairs of the house Ways and Means Committee and the senate Finance Committee about 
67.29 	the facilities to be financed by the bonds.

68.36 	award grants under paragraph (a) to projects that met the eligibility requirements of 
69.1 	subdivision 2 by May 1 of that year.  The authority shall use any remaining money 
69.2 	available that year to award grants under paragraph (b). Grants that have been approved
