Minnesota Administrative Rules

8820.2100 DISASTER ACCOUNT.

A disaster appropriation approved by the commissioner for a county or urban municipality in accordance with law, must be promptly paid to the county or urban municipality for which the appropriation was authorized. The funds so allotted and paid to the county or urban municipality may only be spent for the purpose for which they were authorized, and within a reasonable time specified by the commissioner. Immediately upon completion of the work for which the disaster payment was made or the expiration of the time specified for doing the work, whichever occurs first, the county or urban municipality shall file a report certifying the extent of the authorized work completed and showing the total expenditure made. If the total disaster allotment was not required or used for the purpose specified or if federal disaster aid is later received, the remainder and an amount equal to the federal aid received must be promptly reimbursed to the commissioner for redeposit in the county state-aid highway fund or the municipal state-aid street fund, as the case may be, and apportioned by law. Damage estimates submitted by a county or urban municipality must exceed ten percent of the current annual state-aid allotment to the county or urban municipality before the commissioner shall authorize the disaster board to inspect the disaster area. The disaster board shall consider the availability of any available federal disaster relief funds before making its recommendation.
