29.17 		Subdivision 1.Purpose. The legislature recognizes that the Department of Natural 
29.18 	Resources owns and operates capital assets that in number, size, and programmatic use 
29.19 	differ significantly from the capital assets owned and operated by other state departments 
29.20 	and agencies. However, the legislature recognizes the need for standards to aid in 
29.21 	categorizing and funding capital projects. The purpose of this section is to provide 
29.22 	standards for those natural resource projects that are intended to preserve and replace 
29.23 	existing facilities.
29.24 		Subd. 2.Standards. (a) An appropriation for asset preservation may be used only 
29.25 	for a capital expenditure on a capital asset previously owned by the state, within the 
29.26 	meaning of generally accepted accounting principles as applied to public expenditures. 
29.27 	The commissioner of natural resources will consult with the commissioner of finance to 
29.28 	the extent necessary to ensure this and will furnish the commissioner of finance a list 
29.29 	of projects to be financed from the account in order of their priority. The legislature 
29.30 	assumes that many projects for preservation and replacement of portions of existing 
29.31 	capital assets will constitute betterments and capital improvements within the meaning of 
29.32 	the Constitution and capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles, 
29.33 	and will be financed more efficiently and economically under this section than by direct 
29.34 	appropriations for specific projects.
30.1 	(b) An appropriation for asset preservation must not be used to acquire land or to 
30.2 	acquire or construct buildings or other facilities.
30.3 	(c) Capital budget expenditures for natural resource asset preservation and 
30.4 	replacement projects must be for one or more of the following types of capital projects that 
30.5 	support the existing programmatic mission of the department: code compliance including 
30.6 	health and safety, Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, hazardous material 
30.7 	abatement, access improvement, or air quality improvement; building energy efficiency 
30.8 	improvements using current best practices; building or infrastructure repairs necessary 
30.9 	to preserve the interior and exterior of existing buildings; or renovation of other existing 
30.10 	improvements to land, including but not limited to trails and bridges.
30.11 	(d) Up to ten percent of an appropriation awarded under this section may be used 
30.12 	for design costs for projects eligible to be funded from this account in anticipation of 
30.13 	future funding from the account.

30.17 	finance and to the chairs of the house and senate committees with jurisdiction over 
30.18 	environment and natural resources finance and capital investment a list of the projects that 
30.19 	have been paid for with money from a natural resource asset preservation and replacement 
30.20 	appropriation during the preceding calendar year as well as a list of those priority projects 
30.21 	for which natural resource asset preservation and replacement appropriations will be 
30.22 	sought in that year's legislative session.

30.24 	to read:
30.25 		Subd. 8.Sale of public library funded with state bond proceeds. If the 
30.26 	commissioner of education and the local or regional governmental entity that owns

30.28 	determines that the library is no longer usable or needed for the purposes for which the 
30.29 	grant of state bond funds was made, the owner of the public library may sell the property

50.9 	disaster, or the date when action was taken in anticipation of a possible natural disaster

51.19 	to or greater than five percent of its assessment year 2009 total taxable net tax capacity is 
51.20 	entitled to flood loss aid equal to the flood net tax capacity loss times the city's average 
51.21 	local tax rate for taxes payable in 2009.
51.22 		Subd. 3.Duties of commissioner. The commissioner of revenue shall determine 
51.23 	each city's aid amount under this section. The commissioner shall notify each eligible city 
51.24 	of its flood loss aid amount by August 15, 2009. The commissioner shall make payments 
51.25 	to each city after July 1, and before July 20, 2010.
