        commissioner of revenue shall prescribe the method in which the 
        credit may be claimed.  This may include allowing the credit 
        only as a separately processed claim for refund. The allowable 
        credit is based on the tax liability attributable to business 
        conducted within a zone, and may be equal to all or a portion of 
        that liability, as determined by the city. 
           (b) "Tax liability" means the tax liability under sections 
        290.02, 290.0921, and 290.0922, subdivision 1, paragraph (a), 
        after any other credits. 
           (c) The tax liability attributable to business conducted 
        within a zone means the taxpayer's tax liability multiplied by a 
        fraction: 
           (1) the numerator of which is: 
           (i) the ratio of the taxpayer's property factor under 
        section 290.191 located in the border city development zone, for 
        the taxable year over the property factor denominator numerator 
        determined under section 290.191, plus 
           (ii) the ratio of the taxpayer's payroll factor under 
        section 290.191 located in the border city development zone, for 
        the taxable year over the payroll factor denominator numerator 
        determined under section 290.191; and

        through the taxable year in which the zone designation expires. 
           (f) To be eligible for a credit under this subdivision, the

           (1) the tax liability of the taxpayer for the taxable year; 
        or 
           (2) the amount of the tax credit certificates received by 
        the taxpayer from the city, less any tax credit certificates 
        used under section 469.1734, subdivisions 4, 5, and 6.

        section 9, subdivision 4, if enacted, is amended to read: 
           Subd. 4.  [INCOME TAX.] (a) Upon application by the 
        qualifying business to the city, and approval of the city, a 
        qualifying business shall receive a credit against taxes imposed 
        under chapter 290, other than the tax imposed under section 
        290.92, based on the taxable net income of the qualified 
        business attributable to the border city, but outside the border 
        city development zone, multiplied by 9.8 percent in the case of 
        a taxpayer under section 290.02, and 8.5 percent in the case of 
        a taxpayer taxable under section 290.06, subdivision 2c.  The 
        attributable net income of a qualified business in the border 
        city is determined by multiplying the taxable net income of the 
        business entity, determined as if the business were a C 
        corporation, by a fraction: 
           (1) the numerator of which is: 
           (i) the ratio of the taxpayer's property factor under 
        section 290.191 located in the border city, but outside of the 
        border city development zone, for the taxable year over the 
        property factor denominator numerator determined under section 
        290.191, plus 
           (ii) the ratio of the taxpayer's payroll factor under 
        section 290.191 located in the border city, but outside of the 
        border city development zone, for the taxable year over the 
        payroll factor denominator numerator determined under section 
        290.191; and 
           (2) the denominator of which is two. 
           (b) The credit under this subdivision applies after any 
        credit allowed under subdivision 5. 
           (c) After any notice period required by subdivision 7, the 
        city council must determine whether granting the credit is in 
        the best interest of the city, and if it so determines, must 
        approve the granting of the credit and determine its amount. 
           (d) The credit under this subdivision may not exceed the 
        amount of the tax credit certificates received by the taxpayer 
        from the city, less any tax credit certificates used under 
        section 469.1732, subdivision 2, and subdivisions 5 and 6. 
           (e) No taxpayer may receive the credit under this 
        subdivision for more than five taxable years.

        excess of the amount needed for this subdivision, the 
        commissioner shall make equal payments of one-third of the

        compensatory revenue that the district would have received under

        124A.22, subdivision 3, for fiscal year 1998 to school sites 
        accordingly according to a plan adopted by the school board.

        district and used for services for pupils who generate the 
        revenue.

        revenue to each school site in the district on a per teacher 
        basis, which shall be retained by the school site until used.  
        The board may retain 25 percent to be used for district wide 
        staff development efforts.  The remaining 25 percent of the 
        revenue shall be used to make grants to school sites that 
        demonstrate exemplary use of allocated staff development 
        revenue.  A grant may be used for any purpose authorized under 
        section 126.70, 126.77, subdivision 2, or for the costs of

        teachers' workshops, teacher conferences, substitute teachers 
        for staff development purposes, and other staff development 
        efforts, and determined by the site decision-making team.  The 
        site decision-making team must demonstrate to the school board 
        the extent to which staff at the site have met the outcomes of 
        the program.  The board may withhold a portion of initial
