The commissioner may issue appropriation bonds

redemption of the outstanding appropriation bonds on any redemption date, or to pay
interest on the refunding bonds and may, pending application, be placed in escrow to be
applied to the purchase, payment, retirement, or redemption. Any escrowed proceeds,
pending such use, may be invested and reinvested in obligations that are authorized
investments under section 11A.24. The income earned or realized on the investment may
also be applied to the payment of the appropriation bonds to be refunded or interest or
premiums on the refunded appropriation bonds, or to pay interest on the refunding bonds.
After the terms of the escrow have been fully satisfied, any balance of the proceeds and
any investment income may be returned to the general fund or, if applicable, the special
appropriation Lewis and Clark bond proceeds fund for use in any lawful manner. All
refunding bonds issued under this subdivision must be prepared, executed, delivered, and
secured by appropriations in the same manner as the appropriation bonds to be refunded.

income of the project service area. In determining whether the average annual residential
drinking water system cost would exceed 1.2 percent, the authority must consider the total
costs associated with building, operating, and maintaining the drinking water system,
including existing drinking water debt service, debt service on the eligible project cost,
and operation and maintenance costs. Debt service costs for the proposed project are

provided if the average annual residential drinking water system cost after completion of
the project would otherwise exceed 1.2 percent of the median household income in the

water system cost would exceed 1.2 percent, the authority must consider the total costs
associated with building, operating, and maintaining the drinking water system, including
debt service and operation and maintenance costs. Debt service costs for the proposed
project must be calculated based on the maximum loan term permitted for the drinking
water revolving fund loan under this section. The amount of the principal forgiveness or
grant must be equal to 80 percent of the amount needed to reduce the average annual
residential drinking water system cost to 1.2 percent of median household income in the
project service area, to a maximum of $4,000,000 or $15,000 per connection, whichever is

determines that the reduction is necessary to fully utilize the federal money, the authority
must effect the change through its approval of the annual intended use plan.
