360.039 FEDERAL AID.
    Subdivision 1. Acceptance by municipality. Every municipality is authorized, subject to
the provisions of section 360.0161, to accept, receive, receipt for, disburse, and expend federal
and state money and other money, public or private, made available by grant or loan or both to
accomplish, in whole or in part, any of the purposes of this act. All federal money accepted under
this section shall be accepted and expended by the municipality upon such terms and conditions
as are prescribed by the United States and as are consistent with state law; and all state money
accepted under this section shall be accepted and expended by the municipality upon such terms
and conditions as are prescribed by the state. Unless otherwise prescribed by the agency from
which such money was received, the chief financial officer of the municipality shall, on its behalf
deposit all money received pursuant to this section and shall keep it, in separate funds designated
according to the purposes for which the money was made available, in trust for such purposes.
    Subd. 2. Commissioner as financial agent. A municipality is authorized to designate the
commissioner as its agent to accept, receive, receipt for, and disburse federal and state money
and other money, public or private, made available by grant or loan or both to accomplish,
in whole or in part, any of the purposes of this act; and to designate the commissioner as its
agent in contracting for and supervising the planning, acquisition, development, construction,
improvement, maintenance, equipment, or operation of any airports or other air navigation
facility. Such municipality may enter into an agreement with the commissioner prescribing the
terms and conditions of the agency in accordance with such terms and conditions as are prescribed
by the United States, if federal money is involved, and in accordance with the applicable laws
of this state. All federal money accepted under this section by the commissioner shall be
accepted and transferred or expended by the commissioner upon such terms and conditions as
are prescribed by the United States.
    Subd. 3. Contract. All contracts for the planning, acquisition, construction, enlargement,
improvement, maintenance, equipment, or operation of airports or other air navigation facilities,
made by the municipality itself or through the agency of the commissioner, shall be made pursuant
to the laws of this state governing the making of like contracts; provided, however, that where
such planning, acquisition, construction, improvement, enlargement, maintenance, equipment, or
operation is financed wholly or partly with federal money, the municipality, or the commissioner
as its agent, may let contracts in the manner prescribed by the federal authorities, acting under
the laws of the United States, and any rules or regulations made thereunder, notwithstanding
any other state law to the contrary.
