[LOAN REPAYMENT; NEW DEVELOPMENT.] (a) For the 12.11 purposes of this subdivision, "loan" includes a loan that has 12.12 been forgiven under this section. 12.13 (b) A municipality that receives a supplemental assistance 12.14 loan under this section that, within 20 years after receiving 12.15 the assistance, extends sewer service to serve a residential, 12.16 industrial, or commercial development that is completed on 12.17 unplatted land after March 1, 1996, or that is on a lot whose 12.18 plat was recorded after that date, must repay a portion of the 12.19 loan to the authority before providing the sewer connection. 12.20 The commissioner shall calculate the amount to be repaid by 12.21 first determining the number of households included in the 12.22 extension financed by the original loan. The commissioner must 12.23 then determine the present value of the original loan amount. 12.24 The interest rate used to calculate the present value must be 12.25 equivalent to the interest rate on the loan made to the 12.26 municipality under section 446A.07 at the time of the original 12.27 supplemental assistance loan under this section.
