(a) The state share of a project covered by this section must be 56.11 no more than half the total cost of the project, including predesign, design, construction, 56.12 furnishings, and equipment, except as provided in paragraph (b). This subdivision does 56.13 not apply to a project proposed by a school district or other school organization. 56.14 (b) The state share may be more than half the total cost of a project if the project is 56.15 deemed needed as a result of a disaster or to prevent a disaster or is located in a political 56.16 subdivision with a very low average net tax capacity. 56.17 (c) Nothing in this section prevents the governor from recommending, or the 56.18 legislature from considering or funding, projects that do not meet thedeadlinesdeadline in 56.19 subdivision 2 or the criteria in this subdivision or subdivision 3 when the governor or the 56.20 legislature determines that there is a compelling reason for the recommendation or funding. 56.21 Sec. 30. [16B.307] ASSET PRESERVATION APPROPRIATIONS. 56.22 Subdivision 1. Standards. Article XI, section 5, clause (a), of the Constitution 56.23 requires that state general obligation bonds be issued to finance only the acquisition or 56.24 betterment of public land, buildings, and other public improvements of a capital nature. 56.25 Money appropriated for asset preservation, whether from state bond proceeds or from 56.26 other revenue, is subject to the following additional limitations: 56.27 (a) An appropriation for asset preservation may not be used to acquire new land nor 56.28 to acquire or construct new buildings, additions to buildings, or major new improvements. 56.29 (b) An appropriation for asset preservation may be used only for a capital 56.30 expenditure on a capital asset previously owned by the state, within the meaning 56.31 of generally accepted accounting principles as applied to public expenditures. The 56.32 commissioner of administration will consult with the commissioner of finance to the 56.33 extent necessary to ensure this and will furnish the commissioner of finance a list of 56.34 projects to be financed from the account in order of their priority. The legislature assumes 56.35 that many projects for preservation and replacement of portions of existing capital 57.1 assets will constitute betterments and capital improvements within the meaning of the 57.2 Constitution and capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles, 57.3 and will be financed more efficiently and economically under this section than by direct 57.4 appropriations for specific projects. 57.5 (c) Categories of projects considered likely to be most needed and appropriate for 57.6 asset preservation appropriations are the following: 57.7 (1) projects to remove life safety hazards, like building code violations or structural 57.8 defects. Notwithstanding paragraph (a), a project in this category may include an addition 57.9 to an existing building if it is a required component of the hazard removal project; 57.10 (2) projects to eliminate or contain hazardous substances like asbestos or lead paint; 57.11 (3) major projects to replace or repair roofs, windows, tuckpointing, mechanical or 57.12 electrical systems, utility infrastructure, tunnels, site renovations necessary to support 57.13 building use, and structural components necessary to preserve the exterior and interior 57.14 of existing buildings; and 57.15 (4) projects to renovate parking structures. 57.16 (d) Up to ten percent of an appropriation subject to this section may be used for 57.17 design costs for projects eligible to be funded under this section in anticipation of future 57.18 asset preservation appropriations. 57.19 Subd. 2. Report. By January 15 of each year, the commissioner of an agency that 57.20 has received an appropriation for asset preservation shall submit to the commissioner of 57.21 finance, the chairs of the legislative committees or divisions that currently oversee the 57.22 appropriations to the agency, and to the chairs of the senate and house of representatives 57.23 Capital Investment Committees, a list of the projects that have been funded with money 57.24 under this program during the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of those priority 57.25 asset preservation projects for which state bond proceeds fund appropriations will be 57.26 sought during that year's legislative session. 57.27 Sec. 31. Minnesota Statutes 2004, section 85.015, is amended by adding a subdivision 57.28 to read: 57.29 Subd. 25. Great River Ridge Trail, Wabasha and Olmsted Counties. (a) The 57.30 trail shall originate in the city of Plainview in Wabasha County and extend southwesterly 57.31 through the city of Elgin in Wabasha County and the town of Viola in Olmsted County to 57.32 the Chester Woods Trail in Olmsted County. 57.33 (b) The commissioner of natural resources shall enter an agreement with the 57.34 Wabasha County Regional Rail Authority to maintain and develop the Great River Ridge 57.35 Trail as a state trail. 58.1 EFFECTIVE DATE.This section is effective the day after the governing body of 58.2 the Wabasha County Regional Rail Authority and its chief clerical officer timely complete 58.3 their compliance with Minnesota Statutes, section 645.021, subdivisions 2 and 3. 58.4 Sec. 32. Minnesota Statutes 2005 Supplement, section 85.019, subdivision 2, is 58.5 amended to read: 58.6 Subd. 2. Parks and outdoor recreation areas. (a) The commissioner shall 58.7 administer a program to provide grants to units of government for up to 50 percent of the 58.8 costs of acquisition and betterment of public land and improvements needed for parks and 58.9 other outdoor recreation areas and facilities, including costs to create veterans memorial 58.10 gardens and parks. 58.11 (b) For units of government outside the metropolitan area as defined in section 58.12 473.121, subdivision 2, the local match required for a grant to acquire or better a regional 58.13 park or regional outdoor recreation area is $2 of nonstate money for each $3 of state money. 58.14 Sec. 33. [86A.12] NATURAL RESOURCES CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT 58.15 PROGRAM. 58.16 Subdivision 1. Establishment. A natural resources capital improvement program 58.17 is established to prioritize among eligible public projects to be funded from state bond 58.18 proceeds appropriated to the commissioner and distinctly specified for the purposes of 58.19 the program established in this section and in accordance with the standards and criteria 58.20 set forth in this section. 58.21 Subd. 2. Purposes. The purpose of the natural resources capital improvement 58.22 program is to improve the management and conservation of the natural resources of the 58.23 state, including recreational, scientific and natural areas, and wild game and fish, through 58.24 the acquisition and betterment of public lands, buildings, and improvements of a capital 58.25 nature. 58.26 Subd. 3. Program standards. Article XI, section 5, clause (a), of the Constitution 58.27 provides that state general obligation bonds may be issued to finance the acquisition 58.28 or betterment, including preservation, of public land, buildings, and improvements of 58.29 a capital nature and to provide money to be appropriated or loaned to any agency or 58.30 political subdivision of the state for those purposes. Article XI, section 5, clause (f), of the 58.31 Constitution further provides that state general obligation bonds may be issued to finance 58.32 the promotion of forestation and prevention and abatement of forest fires, including the 58.33 compulsory clearing and improving of public and private wild lands. In interpreting these 58.34 provisions and applying them to the purpose of the program established in this section, 59.1 the following standards are adopted for determining the priority among eligible natural 59.2 resources projects to be funded under the program: 59.3 (a) A project will be an expenditure eligible under this program only when it is a 59.4 capital expenditure on a capital asset owned or to be owned by the state or a political 59.5 subdivision of the state within the meaning of accepted accounting principles as applied to 59.6 public expenditures. The legislature assumes that some provisions for the management 59.7 and conservation of the natural resources of the state constituting acquisition or betterment 59.8 of land, buildings, or capital improvements within the meaning of the Constitution will be 59.9 sensitive to timing and circumstances and require discretion of the commissioner based on 59.10 currently available facts and circumstances, particularly projects related to the mitigation 59.11 of natural disasters and the acquisition of lands as they become available, and so these 59.12 projects will be financed more efficiently and economically under the program than by 59.13 separate appropriations for each project. 59.14 (b) The commissioner will review potential eligible projects, will make initial 59.15 allocations among types of eligible projects within each category enumerated in the act 59.16 making an appropriation for the program, will determine priorities within each category, 59.17 and will allocate money as specified in the appropriation act and in priority order within 59.18 each category until the available appropriation for the category has been committed. 59.19 Subd. 4. Criteria for priorities. (a) The following criteria must be considered: 59.20 (1) expansion of the natural resources of the state for the enjoyment and use of 59.21 the public; 59.22 (2) urgency in providing for the conservation of the natural resources of the state, 59.23 including protection of threatened and endangered species and waters; 59.24 (3) necessity in ensuring the safety of the public; and 59.25 (4) additional criteria for priorities otherwise specified in state law, statute, rule, 59.26 or regulation applicable to a category listed in the act making an appropriation for the 59.27 program. 59.28 (b) Criteria can be stated only in general terms, since it is a purpose of the program 59.29 to improve the allocation of limited amounts of available funds by enlisting the knowledge 59.30 and experience of the Department of Natural Resources in determining relative needs as 59.31 they develop. 59.32 (c) The criteria in paragraph (a) are not listed in a rank order of priority. 59.33 (d) Economy is also to be determined and may even reinforce a decision based on 59.34 other criteria, if the project would forestall a larger future capital expenditure or would 59.35 reduce operating expense. 60.1 (e) Absolute cost must also be considered. It may be too high to warrant funding 60.2 except by an additional appropriation, or so high as to warrant a recommendation to 60.3 abandon the project. It may be so low as to permit payment out of the department's 60.4 operating budget. 60.5 Subd. 5. Report. By January 15 of each year, the commissioner of natural resources 60.6 shall submit to the commissioner of finance, the chairs of the legislative committees or 60.7 divisions that currently oversee the appropriations to the Department of Natural Resources, 60.8 and to the chairs of the senate and the house of representatives Capital Investment 60.9 Committees, a list of the projects that have been funded with money under this program 60.10 during the preceding calendar year, as well as a list of those priority projects for which 60.11 state bond proceeds fund appropriations will be sought under this program during that 60.12 year's legislative session. 60.13 Sec. 34. [116J.435] BIOSCIENCE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC 60.14 INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT PROGRAM. 60.15 Subdivision 1. Creation of account.

The local governmental unit receiving a grant must provide for 61.7 the remainder of the public infrastructure costs. 61.8 (b) The amount of a grant may not exceed the lesser of the cost of the public 61.9 infrastructure or 50 percent of the sum of the cost of the public infrastructure plus the cost 61.10 of the completed eligible project. 61.11 (c) The purpose of the program is to keep or enhance jobs in the area, increase the 61.12 tax base, or to expand or create new economic development through the growth of new 61.13 bioscience businesses and organizations. 61.14 Subd. 4. Application. (a) The commissioner must develop forms and procedures 61.15 for soliciting and reviewing applications for grants under this section. At a minimum, a 61.16 local governmental unit must include the following information in its application: 61.17 (1) a resolution of its governing body certifying that the money required to be 61.18 supplied by the local governmental unit to complete the public infrastructure is available 61.19 and committed; 61.20 (2) a detailed estimate, along with necessary supporting evidence, of the total 61.21 development costs for the public infrastructure and eligible project; 61.22 (3) an assessment of the potential or likely use of the site for bioscience activities 61.23 after completion of the public infrastructure and eligible project; 61.24 (4) a timeline indicating the major milestones of the public infrastructure and eligible 61.25 project and their anticipated completion dates; 61.26 (5) a commitment from the governing body to repay the grant if the milestones are 61.27 not realized by the completion date identified in clause (4); and 61.28 (6) any additional information or material the commissioner prescribes. 61.29 (b) The determination of whether to make a grant under subdivision 3 is within the 61.30 discretion of the commissioner, subject to this section. The commissioner's decisions and 61.31 application of the priorities are not subject to judicial review, except for abuse of discretion. 61.32 Subd. 5. Priorities. (a) If applications for grants exceed the available appropriations, 61.33 grants must be made for public infrastructure that, in the commissioner's judgment, 61.34 provides the highest return in public benefits for the public costs incurred.

In making this judgment, the commissioner shall give 62.5 priority to eligible projects with one or more of the following characteristics: 62.6 (1) the potential of the local government unit to attract viable bioscience businesses; 62.7 (2) proximity to public transit if located in a metropolitan county, as defined in 62.8 section 473.121, subdivision 4; 62.9 (3) multijurisdictional eligible projects that take into account the need for affordable 62.10 housing, transportation, and environmental impact; 62.11 (4) the eligible project is not relocating substantially the same operation from another 62.12 location in the state, unless the commissioner determines the eligible project cannot be 62.13 reasonably accommodated within the local governmental unit in which the business is 62.14 currently located, or the business would otherwise relocate to another state or country; and 62.15 (5) the number of jobs that will be created. 62.16 (b) The factors in paragraph (a) are not listed in a rank order of priority; rather, the 62.17 commissioner may weigh each factor, depending upon the facts and circumstances, as 62.18 the commissioner considers appropriate. 62.19 Subd. 6. Cancellation of grant. If a grant is awarded to a local governmental unit 62.20 and funds are not encumbered for the grant within four years after the award date, the 62.21 grant must be canceled. 62.22 Subd. 7. Repayment of grant. If an eligible project supported by public 62.23 infrastructure funded with a grant awarded under this section is not occupied by a 62.24 bioscience business in accordance with the grant application under subdivision 4 within 62.25 five years after the date of the last grant payment, the grant recipient must repay the 62.26 amount of the grant received. The commissioner must deposit all money received under 62.27 this subdivision into the state treasury and credit it to the debt service account in the 62.28 state bond fund. 62.29 Sec. 35.
