new text begin $6,700,000 is appropriated from the bond proceeds
fund to the commissioner of natural resources to design, construct, rehabilitate, furnish,
and equip Building 67, the Administration Building, at the Fort Snelling Upper Post. Up
to $500,000 of this amount may be used to design and construct bicycle and pedestrian
paths between the Fort Snelling light rail transit station and historic Fort Snelling and the
upper post area. This appropriation is not available until the commissioner of management
and budget has determined that at least $13,400,000 has been committed to renovations
and improvements to one of the upper post barracks buildings from nonstate sources and
that sufficient funds are available to complete both the Administration Building and the
barracks projects. The rehabilitation of both buildings must comply with the requirements
of the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The commissioner of natural
resources may enter into a lease-management agreement in accordance with Minnesota
Statutes, section 16A.695, for use of the Administration Building. The lessee's use must
be compatible with the preservation of the building and the National Park Service's
requirements governing use of historic properties. The lessee must agree to be solely
responsible for the maintenance and operation of the property, including any future
capital repairs. Any use shall permit limited public access for historical interpretation,
as determined appropriate by the commissioner of natural resources, consistent with
normal use by the lessee.
