  8.10  facility.  A grant for new construction must not exceed the 
  8.11  lesser of $5,000,000 $12,000,000 or 75 percent of the approved 
  8.12  construction costs of a cooperative secondary education 
  8.13  facility.  A grant for remodeling and improving an existing 
  8.14  facility must not exceed $200,000. 
  8.15     Sec. 15.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 136F.60, 
  8.16  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
  8.17     Subd. 2.  [METHODS OF ACQUISITION.] (a) If money has been 
  8.18  appropriated to the board to acquire lands or sites for public 
  8.19  buildings or real estate, the acquisition may be by gift, 
  8.20  purchase, or condemnation proceedings.  Condemnation proceedings 
  8.21  must be under chapter 117. 
  8.22     (b) The board may accept gifts of and enter into agreements 
  8.23  to acquire facilities that the board determines to be for the 
  8.24  good and benefit of the state colleges and universities.  Except 
  8.25  as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the terms of the 
  8.26  agreements are within the board's discretion.  The board, by way 
  8.27  of agreement, may convey, or lease for a term of years not to 
  8.28  exceed 30 years, real property under the board's control.  
  8.29  Conveyances and leases may be made with or without monetary 
  8.30  consideration.  Conveyances by the board must be by quitclaim 
  8.31  deed in a form approved by the attorney general.  Land conveyed 
  8.32  by the board must revert to the state if it is no longer used to 
  8.33  provide a facility for the primary benefit of a state college or 
  8.34  university or its students.  Agreements may be made following 
  8.35  requests for proposal or by direct negotiation.  The board may 
  8.36  not use, either directly or indirectly, state appropriations or 
  9.1   the credit of the state to pay or guarantee the payment of any 
  9.2   debt for, or any costs related to, the construction of a 
  9.3   facility acquired or constructed according to this paragraph.  
  9.4   For purposes of this paragraph, "facility" includes, but is not 
  9.5   limited to, student unions, recreational centers, and other 
  9.6   facilities for student housing, athletics, parking, academic 
  9.7   instruction, and administration. 
  9.8      Sec. 16.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 446A.072, 
  9.9   subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
  9.10     Subd. 4.  [FUNDING LEVEL.] (a) The authority shall provide 
  9.11  supplemental assistance for essential project component costs as 
  9.12  certified by the commissioner of the pollution control agency 
  9.13  under section 116.182, subdivision 4.  
  9.14     (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), a municipality may 
  9.15  not receive more than $4,000,000, or $15,000 per existing 
  9.16  connection, whichever is less, under this section unless 
  9.17  specifically approved by law.  If a project would be eligible 
  9.18  for more than $4,000,000 under paragraph (e), the authority 
  9.19  shall include a description of the project and the financing 
  9.20  plan in its report on needs in subdivision 11.  The $4,000,000, 
  9.21  or $15,000 per existing connection, whichever is less, limit in 
  9.22  this paragraph does not apply to a municipality that borders the 
  9.23  outstanding resource value water of Lake Superior. 
  9.24     (c) A sanitary district or multijurisdictional wastewater 
  9.25  treatment district may receive an additional $1,000,000 for each 
  9.26  municipality participating up to a maximum grant of $8,000,000, 
  9.27  unless a higher amount is specifically approved by law.  If a 
  9.28  project would be eligible for more than $8,000,000 under 
  9.29  paragraph (e), the authority shall include a description of the 
  9.30  project and the financing plan in its report on needs in 
  9.31  subdivision 11. 
  9.32     (d) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance for 
  9.33  up to one-half of the eligible grant funding level determined by 
  9.34  the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development 
  9.35  funding for projects listed on the agency's project priority 
  9.36  list, in priority order.  In the case of multijurisdictional 
 10.1   projects when the United States Department of Agriculture Rural 
 10.2   Development is unable to fully fund up to one-half of the 
 10.3   eligible grant amount, the authority may provide up to an 
 10.4   additional $1,000,000 for each municipality participating up to 
 10.5   the limits under paragraph (c) but not to exceed the maximum 
 10.6   grant level determined by the United States Department of 
 10.7   Agriculture Rural Development as needed to keep the project 
 10.8   affordable.  For municipalities that are not eligible for United 
 10.9   States Department of Agriculture Rural Development funding for 
 10.10  wastewater, the authority shall provide supplemental assistance 
 10.11  for:  (1) essential project component costs calculated by first 
 10.12  determining the amount needed to reduce a municipality's annual 
 10.13  residential sewer costs to 1.4 percent of the municipality's 
 10.14  median household income or $25 per month per household, 
 10.15  whichever is greater, and then multiplying that amount by 80 
 10.16  percent to determine the actual award amount to supplement loans 
 10.17  under section 446A.07; and (2) up to 50 percent of the 
 10.18  incremental costs specifically identified by the agency as being 
 10.19  attributable to more stringent wastewater standards required to 
 10.20  protect outstanding resource value waters or outstanding 
 10.21  international resource value waters. 
 10.22     (e) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), in the event that a 
 10.23  municipality's monthly residential sewer service charges average 
 10.24  above $50, the authority will provide 90 percent of the grant 
 10.25  amount needed to reduce the average monthly sewer service charge 
 10.26  to $50, provided the project is ranked in the top 50 percentile 
 10.27  of the agency's intended use plan. 
 10.28     (f) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance to 
 10.29  a municipality that would not otherwise qualify for supplemental 
 10.30  assistance if: 
 10.31     (1) the municipality voluntarily accepts a sewer connection 
 10.32  from another governmental unit to serve residential, industrial, 
 10.33  or commercial developments that were completed before March 1, 
 10.34  1996, or are on lots whose plats were recorded before that date; 
 10.35  and 
 10.36     (2) fees charged by the municipality for the connection 
 11.1   must take into account state and federal grants used by the 
 11.2   municipality for the construction of the treatment plant. 
 11.3   The amount of supplemental assistance under this paragraph must 
 11.4   be sufficient to reduce debt service payments under section 
 11.5   446A.07 to an extent equivalent to a zero percent loan in an 
 11.6   amount up to the other governmental unit's project costs 
 11.7   necessary for connection.  Eligibility for supplemental 
 11.8   assistance under this paragraph ends three years after the 
 11.9   agency certifies that the connection has met the operational 
 11.10  performance standards established by the agency. 
 11.11     Sec. 17.  [PEOPLE, INC. NORTH SIDE COMMUNITY SUPPORT 
 11.12  PROGRAM.] 
 11.13     The grant in Laws 1998, chapter 404, section 18, 
 11.14  subdivision 4, must be paid to People, Inc. to purchase,

 11.16  building or to acquire land or construct a building to be used 
 11.17  by the People, Inc. North Side Community Support Program, which 
 11.18  may provide office space for state employees.

 11.22  construct an educational and training facility and an economic 
 11.23  development facility on land assigned by the council on the Red 
 11.24  Lake reservation.

 11.29  must be paid entirely with money from other than state sources. 
 11.30     Sec. 20.  [FERGUS FALLS OFFICE FACILITY.] 
 11.31     The appropriation in Laws 2000, chapter 492, article 1, 
 11.32  section 7, subdivision 3, may also be used to acquire, remodel, 
 11.33  and refurbish facilities for a consolidated area office and
