 41.27  interpreting this and applying it to the purposes of the program 
 41.28  contemplated in this section, the following standards are 
 41.29  adopted for the disbursement of money from the capital asset 
 41.30  preservation and replacement account:  
 41.31     (a) No new land, buildings, or major new improvements will 
 41.32  be acquired.  These projects, including all capital expenditures 
 41.33  required to permit their effective use for the intended purpose 
 41.34  on completion, will be estimated and provided for individually 
 41.35  through a direct appropriation for each project.  
 41.36     (b) An expenditure will be made from the account only when 
 42.1   it is a capital expenditure on a capital asset previously owned 
 42.2   by the state, within the meaning of accepted accounting 
 42.3   principles as applied to public expenditures.  The commissioner 
 42.4   of administration will consult with the commissioner of finance 
 42.5   to the extent necessary to ensure this and will furnish the 
 42.6   commissioner of finance a list of projects to be financed from 
 42.7   the account in order of their priority.  The commissioner shall 
 42.8   also furnish each revision of the list.  The legislature assumes 
 42.9   that many provisions for preservation and replacement of 
 42.10  portions of existing capital assets will constitute betterments 
 42.11  and capital improvements within the meaning of the constitution 
 42.12  and capital expenditures under correct accounting principles, 
 42.13  and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the 
 42.14  program than by direct appropriations for specific projects.  
 42.15  However, the purpose of the program is to accumulate data 
 42.16  showing how additional costs may be saved by appropriating money 
 42.17  from the general fund for preservation measures, the necessity 
 42.18  of which is predictable over short periods.  
 42.19     (c) The commissioner of administration will furnish 
 42.20  instructions to agencies to apply for funding of capital 
 42.21  expenditures for preservation and replacement from the account, 
 42.22  will review applications, will make initial allocations among 
 42.23  types of eligible projects enumerated below, will determine 
 42.24  priorities, and will allocate money in priority order until the 
 42.25  available appropriation has been committed.  
 42.26     (d) Categories of projects considered likely to be most 
 42.27  needed and appropriate for financing are the following:  
 42.28     (1) unanticipated emergencies of all kinds, for which a 
 42.29  relatively small amount should be initially reserved, replaced 
 42.30  from money allocated to low-priority projects, if possible, as 
 42.31  emergencies occur, and used for stabilization rather than 
 42.32  replacement if the cost would exhaust the account and should be 
 42.33  specially appropriated; 
 42.34     (2) projects to remove life safety hazards, like 
 42.35  replacement of mechanical systems, building code violations, or 
 42.36  structural defects, at costs not large enough to require major 
 43.1   capital requests to the legislature; 
 43.2      (3) elimination or containment of hazardous substances like 
 43.3   asbestos or PCBs; and 
 43.4      (4) moderate cost replacement and repair of roofs, windows, 
 43.5   tuckpointing, and structural members necessary to preserve the 
 43.6   exterior and interior of existing buildings; and 
 43.7      (5) up to ten percent of an appropriation awarded under 
 43.8   this section may be used for design costs for projects eligible 
 43.9   to be funded from this account in anticipation of future funding 
 43.10  from the account.  
 43.11     Sec. 34.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.86, 
 43.12  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 43.13     Subd. 3.  [EVALUATION.] (a) The commissioner shall evaluate 
 43.14  all requests from political subdivisions for state assistance 
 43.15  based on the following criteria: 
 43.16     (1) the political subdivision has provided for local, 
 43.17  private, and user financing for the project to the maximum 
 43.18  extent possible; 
 43.19     (2) the project helps fulfill an important state mission; 
 43.20     (3) the project is of regional or statewide significance; 
 43.21     (4) the project will not require new or any additional 
 43.22  state operating subsidies; 
 43.23     (5) the project will not expand the state's role in a new 
 43.24  policy area; 
 43.25     (6) state funding for the project will not create 
 43.26  significant inequities among local jurisdictions; 
 43.27     (7) the project will not compete with other facilities in 
 43.28  such a manner that they lose a significant number of users to 
 43.29  the new project; and 
 43.30     (8) the governing bodies of those political subdivisions 
 43.31  primarily benefiting from the project have passed resolutions in 
 43.32  support of the project and have established priorities for their 
 43.33  projects when submitting multiple requests; and 
 43.34     (9) under section 16B.335, the applicant has completed a 
 43.35  project predesign that describes the project's purpose, scope, 
 43.36  cost, and schedule.  
 44.1      (b) The commissioner's evaluation of each request, 
 44.2   including whether it meets each of the criteria in paragraph 
 44.3   (a), must be submitted to the legislature along with the 
 44.4   governor's recommendations under section 16A.11, subdivision 1, 
 44.5   whether or not the governor recommends that the request be 
 44.6   funded. 
 44.7      Sec. 35.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16B.335, 
 44.8   subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 44.9      Subd. 3.  [PREDESIGN REQUIREMENT.] The definitions in 
 44.10  paragraphs (a) and (b) apply to this section. 
 44.11     (a) "Predesign" means the stage in the development of a 
 44.12  project during which the purpose, scope, cost, and schedule of 
 44.13  the complete project are defined and instructions to design 
 44.14  professionals are produced.  
 44.15     (b) "Design" means the stage in the development of a 
 44.16  project during which schematic, design development, and contract 
 44.17  documents are produced. 
 44.18     (c) A recipient to whom an appropriation is made for a 
 44.19  project subject to review under subdivision 1 or notice under 
 44.20  subdivision 2 shall prepare a predesign package and submit it to 
 44.21  the commissioner for review and recommendation before proceeding 
 44.22  with design activities.  The commissioner must complete the 
 44.23  review and recommendation within ten working days after 
 44.24  receiving it.  Failure to review and recommend within the ten 
 44.25  days is considered a positive recommendation.  The predesign 
 44.26  package must be sufficient to define the purpose, scope, cost, 
 44.27  and schedule of the project and must demonstrate that the 
 44.28  project has been analyzed according to appropriate space needs 
 44.29  standards. 
 44.30     (d) This subdivision does not apply to capital projects for 
 44.31  park buildings owned by a local government unit in the 
 44.32  metropolitan area defined in section 473.121, subdivision 2. 
 44.33     Sec. 36.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 85.019,

 45.1   government and school districts for the acquisition and 
 45.2   betterment of natural and scenic areas such as blufflands, 
 45.3   prairies, shorelands, wetlands, and wooded areas.  A grant may 
 45.4   not exceed 50 percent or $500,000, whichever is less, of the 
 45.5   costs of acquisition and betterment of land acquired under this 
 45.6   subdivision.  The commissioner shall make payment to a unit of 
 45.7   government upon receiving documentation of reimbursable 
 45.8   expenditures. 
 45.9      Sec. 37.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 85.019, 
 45.10  subdivision 4c, is amended to read: 
 45.11     Subd. 4c.  [LOCAL TRAIL CONNECTIONS.] The commissioner 
 45.12  shall administer a program to provide grants to units of 
 45.13  government for up to 50 percent of the costs of acquisition and 
 45.14  betterment of public land and improvements needed for trails 
 45.15  that connect communities, trails, and parks and thereby increase 
 45.16  the effective length of trail experiences.  Recipients must 
 45.17  provide a nonstate cash match of at least one-half of total 
 45.18  eligible project costs.  If land used for the trails is not in 
 45.19  full public ownership, then the recipients must prove it is 
 45.20  dedicated to the purposes of the grants for at least 20 
 45.21  years.  The commissioner shall make payment to a unit of 
 45.22  government upon receiving documentation of reimbursable

 46.1      Subd. 2.  [CRITERIA.] A participating soil and water 
 46.2   conservation district must establish a working group of 
 46.3   interested individuals.  The working groups, along with the 
 46.4   county board and the soil and water conservation district, must 
 46.5   develop criteria for: 
 46.6      (1) acquiring, through gifts or by payment, lake and river 
 46.7   shoreland conservation easements; and 
 46.8      (2) preserving and restoring publicly owned shoreland and

 48.4   certifying that the required local match is available.  The 
 48.5   commissioner must award grants for complete applications for 
 48.6   eligible projects on a first-come, first-served basis. 
 48.7      Subd. 5.  [SET ASIDES.] (a) During the first two years of 
 48.8   the program, 20 percent of the amount available, up to 
 48.9   $3,000,000, must be used only for grants to cities of the fourth 
 48.10  class. 
 48.11     (b) Twenty percent of the amount available, up to

 48.17  MONEY.] If after five years, the commissioner determines that a 
 48.18  project has not proceeded in a timely manner and is unlikely to 
 48.19  be completed, the commissioner must cancel the grant and require 
 48.20  the grantee to return all grant money awarded for that project.  
 48.21  For industrial park development projects, if after five years 
 48.22  the industrial park is not developed and available for business 
 48.23  use, the commissioner must cancel the grant and require the 
 48.24  grantee to return all grant money for that project.  If the 
 48.25  industrial park is developed and available for use within five 
 48.26  years, but no businesses have located in the park, the grantee 
 48.27  is not required to return any grant money.  
 48.28     Subd. 8.  [APPROPRIATION.] Grant money returned to the

 48.32     Two greater Minnesota redevelopment accounts are created, 
 48.33  one in the general fund and one in the bond proceeds fund.  
 48.34  Money in the accounts may be used to make grants as provided in 
 48.35  section 116J.575.  Money in the bond proceeds fund may only be 
 48.36  used for eligible costs for publicly owned property.  Money in 
 49.1   the general fund may be used to pay for the commissioner's costs 
 49.2   in reviewing the applications. 
 49.3      Sec. 42.  [116J.572] [DEFINITIONS.]

 50.24     Subd. 3.  [OTHER FACTORS.] The factors listed in 
 50.25  subdivisions 1 and 2 are not ranked in order of priority.  
 50.26  Rather, the commissioner may weigh each factor depending upon 
 50.27  the facts and circumstances as the commissioner considers 
 50.28  appropriate.  The commissioner may consider other factors 
 50.29  including, but not limited to, blight reduction, community 
 50.30  stabilization, and property tax base maintenance or improvement. 
 50.31     Subd. 4.  [PARTNERSHIPS.] The commissioner shall give 
 50.32  priority to proposals using innovative financial partnerships 
 50.33  between government, private for-profit, and nonprofit sectors as 
 50.34  well as to proposals that meet current tax increment financing 
 50.35  requirements for a redevelopment district and contribute tax 
 50.36  increment financing towards the project. 
 51.1      Subd. 5.  [ANNUAL REPORT.] The commissioner shall prepare 
 51.2   and submit to the legislature an annual report on the greater

 51.27     Sec. 45.  [116J.575] [GRANTS.] 
 51.28     Subdivision 1.  [COMMISSIONER DISCRETION.] The 
 51.29  determination of whether to make a grant for a site is within 
 51.30  the discretion of the commissioner, subject to this section and 
 51.31  sections 116J.571 to 116J.574 and available unencumbered money 
 51.32  in the greater Minnesota redevelopment account.  The 
 51.33  commissioner's decisions and application of the priorities under 
 51.34  this section are not subject to judicial review, except for 
 51.35  abuse of discretion. 
 51.36     Subd. 2.  [APPLICATION CYCLES.] In making grants, the

 52.15  percent of an appropriation awarded under this section may be 
 52.16  used for design costs for projects eligible to be funded from 
 52.17  this account in anticipation of future funding from the account. 
 52.18     Sec. 47.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 446A.072, 
 52.19  subdivision 4, is amended to read: 
 52.20     Subd. 4.  [FUNDING LEVEL.] (a) The authority shall provide 
 52.21  supplemental assistance for essential project component costs as 
 52.22  certified by the commissioner of the pollution control agency 
 52.23  under section 116.182, subdivision 4.  
 52.24     (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c), a municipality may 
 52.25  not receive more than $4,000,000, or $15,000 per existing 
 52.26  connection, whichever is less, under this section unless 
 52.27  specifically approved by law.  If a project would be eligible 
 52.28  for more than $4,000,000 under paragraph (e), the authority 
 52.29  shall include a description of the project and the financing 
 52.30  plan in its report on needs in subdivision 11.  For a 
 52.31  municipality receiving grant funding after January 1, 2002, the 
 52.32  authority shall provide assistance in the form of a grant of up 
 52.33  to $30,000 per existing connection if the authority determines 
 52.34  that the municipality's construction and installation costs are 
 52.35  significantly increased due to geological conditions and more 
 52.36  stringent discharge limits. 
 53.1      (c) A sanitary district or multijurisdictional wastewater 
 53.2   treatment district may receive an additional $1,000,000 for each 
 53.3   municipality participating up to a maximum grant of $8,000,000, 
 53.4   unless a higher amount is specifically approved by law.  If a 
 53.5   project would be eligible for more than $8,000,000 under 
 53.6   paragraph (e), the authority shall include a description of the 
 53.7   project and the financing plan in its report on needs in 
 53.8   subdivision 11. 
 53.9      (d) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance for 
 53.10  up to one-half of the eligible grant funding level determined by 
 53.11  the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development 
 53.12  funding for projects listed on the agency's project priority 
 53.13  list, in priority order.  In the case of multijurisdictional 
 53.14  projects when the United States Department of Agriculture Rural 
 53.15  Development is unable to fully fund up to one-half of the 
 53.16  eligible grant amount, the authority may provide up to an 
 53.17  additional $1,000,000 for each municipality participating up to 
 53.18  the limits under paragraph (c) but not to exceed the maximum 
 53.19  grant level determined by the United States Department of 
 53.20  Agriculture Rural Development as needed to keep the project 
 53.21  affordable.  For municipalities that are not eligible for United 
 53.22  States Department of Agriculture Rural Development funding for 
 53.23  wastewater, the authority shall provide supplemental assistance 
 53.24  for:  (1) essential project component costs calculated by first 
 53.25  determining the amount needed to reduce a municipality's annual 
 53.26  residential sewer costs to 1.4 percent of the municipality's 
 53.27  median household income or $25 per month per household, 
 53.28  whichever is greater, and then multiplying that amount by 80 
 53.29  percent to determine the actual award amount to supplement loans 
 53.30  under section 446A.07; and (2) up to 50 percent of the 
 53.31  incremental costs specifically identified by the agency as being 
 53.32  attributable to more stringent wastewater standards required to 
 53.33  protect outstanding resource value waters or outstanding 
 53.34  international resource value waters. 
 53.35     (e) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), in the event that a 
 53.36  municipality's monthly residential sewer service charges average 
 54.1   above $50, the authority will provide 90 percent of the grant 
 54.2   amount needed to reduce the average monthly sewer service charge 
 54.3   to $50, provided the project is ranked in the top 50 percentile 
 54.4   of the agency's intended use plan. 
 54.5      (f) The authority shall provide supplemental assistance to 
 54.6   a municipality that would not otherwise qualify for supplemental 
 54.7   assistance if: 
 54.8      (1) the municipality voluntarily accepts a sewer connection 
 54.9   from another governmental unit to serve residential, industrial, 
 54.10  or commercial developments that were completed before March 1, 
 54.11  1996, or are on lots whose plats were recorded before that date; 
 54.12  and 
 54.13     (2) fees charged by the municipality for the connection 
 54.14  must take into account state and federal grants used by the 
 54.15  municipality for the construction of the treatment plant. 
 54.16  The amount of supplemental assistance under this paragraph must 
 54.17  be sufficient to reduce debt service payments under section 
 54.18  446A.07 to an extent equivalent to a zero percent loan in an 
 54.19  amount up to the other governmental unit's project costs 
 54.20  necessary for connection.  Eligibility for supplemental 
 54.21  assistance under this paragraph ends three years after the 
 54.22  agency certifies that the connection has met the operational 
 54.23  performance standards established by the agency.

 55.21  $6,309,000 $4,309,000 of this 
 55.22  appropriation is from the general fund 
 55.23  of which $319,000 is to administer the 
 55.24  wastewater infrastructure fund program. 
 55.25  To the public facilities authority for 
 55.26  grants to eligible municipalities under 
 55.27  the wastewater infrastructure program 
 55.28  established in Minnesota Statutes, 
 55.29  section 446A.072. 
 55.30  To the greatest extent practical, the 
 55.31  authority should use the grants for 
 55.32  projects on the 2000 intended use plan 
 55.33  in priority order to qualified 
 55.34  applicants that submit plans and 
 55.35  specifications to the pollution control 
 55.36  agency or receive a funding commitment 
 55.37  from USDA rural development before 
 55.38  December 1, 2001.  In determining 
 55.39  whether the penalty factor under 
 55.40  Minnesota Rules, part 7077.0196, should 
 55.41  be applied to a project, the pollution 
 55.42  control agency shall, beginning with 
 55.43  the 2001 Intended Use Plan and Project 
 55.44  Priority list, first assess the impact 
 55.45  of the new or expanded discharge 
 55.46  compared to the impact of the 
 55.47  preexisting conditions and to the 
 55.48  impact of alternative discharge 
 55.49  locations.  If the agency determines 
 55.50  that the new or expanded discharge is 
 55.51  to a less environmentally sensitive 
 55.52  area or that it is the preferable 
 55.53  location for the discharge compared to 
 55.54  the alternatives, the agency shall not 
 55.55  apply the penalty factor to the project.  The pollution control agency 
        shall 
 55.57  include as a factor in prioritizing 
 55.58  projects whether a project is a 
 55.59  multijurisdictional project connecting 
 55.60  areas with failing onsite treatment 
 55.61  systems with an existing or regional 
 55.62  wastewater treatment system. 
 56.1   The authority shall set aside up to 
 56.2   $400,000 for the Innovative Technology 
 56.3   Grants Program to provide 50 percent 
 56.4   reimbursement for the cost of equipment 
 56.5   and installation into an existing 
 56.6   municipal wastewater treatment system.  
 56.7   The project must be approved by the 
 56.8   pollution control agency and 
 56.9   demonstrate the application of existing 
 56.10  technology that has not been used 
 56.11  before in the treatment of municipal 
 56.12  wastewater, but has the potential to 
 56.13  improve the treatment of wastewater or 
 56.14  make the treatment process more cost 
 56.15  effective. 
 56.16  Beginning with the 2001 intended use 
 56.17  plan, the pollution control agency 
 56.18  shall include whether a community has a 
 56.19  moratorium on development as a factor 
 56.20  in prioritizing projects.  The agency 
 56.21  shall adopt rules implementing the 
 56.22  provisions of this paragraph under 
 56.23  Minnesota Statutes, section 14.389.
