 22.12     Subd. 6.  [BUILDING MAINTENANCE AND CAPITAL BETTERMENT.] 
 22.13  The detailed operating budget and capital budget must include

 22.15  commissioner of finance, in consultation with the commissioner 
 22.16  of administration, the board of trustees of the Minnesota state 
 22.17  colleges and universities, and the regents of the University of 
 22.18  Minnesota, shall establish budget guidelines for building 
 22.19  maintenance and betterment appropriations.  Unless otherwise 
 22.20  provided by the commissioner of finance, the combined amount to 
 22.21  be budgeted each year for building maintenance and betterment in 
 22.22  the operating budget and capital budget is two one percent of 
 22.23  the replacement cost of the building, adjusted up or down 
 22.24  depending on the age and condition of the building. 
 22.25     Sec. 31.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.501, is 
 22.26  amended to read: 
 22.27     16A.501 [REPORT ON EXPENDITURE OF BOND PROCEEDS.] 
 22.28     The commissioner of finance must report annually to the 
 22.29  legislature on the degree to which entities receiving 
 22.30  appropriations of bond proceeds for capital projects in previous 
 22.31  omnibus capital improvement acts have encumbered or expended 
 22.32  that money.  The report must be submitted to the chairs of the 
 22.33  house of representatives ways and means committee and the senate 
 22.34  finance committee by February 1 of each year. 
 22.35     Sec. 32.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.632, 
 22.36  subdivision 2, is amended to read: 
 23.1      Subd. 2.  [STANDARDS.] Article XI, section 5, clause (a), 
 23.2   of the constitution states general obligation bonds may be 
 23.3   issued to finance only the acquisition or betterment of state 
 23.4   land, buildings, and improvements of a capital nature.  In 
 23.5   interpreting this and applying it to the purposes of the program 
 23.6   contemplated in this section, the following standards are 
 23.7   adopted for the disbursement of money from the capital asset 
 23.8   preservation and replacement account:  
 23.9      (a) No new land, buildings, or major new improvements will 
 23.10  be acquired.  These projects, including all capital expenditures 
 23.11  required to permit their effective use for the intended purpose 
 23.12  on completion, will be estimated and provided for individually 
 23.13  through a direct appropriation for each project.  
 23.14     (b) An expenditure will be made from the account only when 
 23.15  it is a capital expenditure on a capital asset previously owned 
 23.16  by the state, within the meaning of accepted accounting 
 23.17  principles as applied to public expenditures.  The commissioner 
 23.18  of administration will consult with the commissioner of finance 
 23.19  to the extent necessary to ensure this and will furnish the 
 23.20  commissioner of finance a list of projects to be financed from 
 23.21  the account in order of their priority.  The commissioner shall 
 23.22  also furnish each revision of the list.  The legislature assumes 
 23.23  that many provisions for preservation and replacement of 
 23.24  portions of existing capital assets will constitute betterments 
 23.25  and capital improvements within the meaning of the constitution 
 23.26  and capital expenditures under correct accounting principles, 
 23.27  and will be financed more efficiently and economically under the 
 23.28  program than by direct appropriations for specific projects.  
 23.29  However, the purpose of the program is to accumulate data 
 23.30  showing how additional costs may be saved by appropriating money 
 23.31  from the general fund for preservation measures, the necessity 
 23.32  of which is predictable over short periods.  
 23.33     (c) The commissioner of administration will furnish 
 23.34  instructions to agencies to apply for funding of capital 
 23.35  expenditures for preservation and replacement from the account, 
 23.36  will review applications, will make initial allocations among 
 24.1   types of eligible projects enumerated below, will determine 
 24.2   priorities, and will allocate money in priority order until the 
 24.3   available appropriation has been committed.  
 24.4      (d) Categories of projects considered likely to be most 
 24.5   needed and appropriate for financing are the following:  
 24.6      (1) unanticipated emergencies of all kinds, for which a 
 24.7   relatively small amount should be initially reserved, replaced 
 24.8   from money allocated to low-priority projects, if possible, as 
 24.9   emergencies occur, and used for stabilization rather than 
 24.10  replacement if the cost would exhaust the account and should be 
 24.11  specially appropriated; 
 24.12     (2) projects to remove life safety hazards, like 
 24.13  replacement of mechanical systems, building code violations, or 
 24.14  structural defects, at costs not large enough to require major 
 24.15  capital requests to the legislature; 
 24.16     (3) elimination or containment of hazardous substances like 
 24.17  asbestos or PCBs; and 
 24.18     (4) moderate cost replacement and repair of roofs, windows, 
 24.19  tuckpointing, and structural members necessary to preserve the 
 24.20  exterior and interior of existing buildings; and 
 24.21     (5) up to ten percent of an appropriation awarded under 
 24.22  this section may be used for design costs for eligible projects 
 24.23  in anticipation of future construction funding to be 
 24.24  appropriated in subsequent years.  
 24.25     Sec. 33.  Minnesota Statutes 2000, section 16A.86, 
 24.26  subdivision 3, is amended to read: 
 24.27     Subd. 3.  [EVALUATION.] (a) The commissioner shall evaluate 
 24.28  all requests from political subdivisions for state assistance 
 24.29  based on the following criteria: 
 24.30     (1) the political subdivision has provided for local, 
 24.31  private, and user financing for the project to the maximum 
 24.32  extent possible; 
 24.33     (2) the project helps fulfill an important state mission; 
 24.34     (3) the project is of regional or statewide significance; 
 24.35     (4) the project will not require new or any additional 
 24.36  state operating subsidies; 
 25.1      (5) the project will not expand the state's role in a new 
 25.2   policy area; 
 25.3      (6) state funding for the project will not create 
 25.4   significant inequities among local jurisdictions; 
 25.5      (7) the project will not compete with other facilities in 
 25.6   such a manner that they lose a significant number of users to 
 25.7   the new project; and 
 25.8      (8) the governing bodies of those political subdivisions 
 25.9   primarily benefiting from the project have passed resolutions in 
 25.10  support of the project and have established priorities for their 
 25.11  projects when submitting multiple requests; and 
 25.12     (9) pursuant to section 16B.335, the applicant has 
 25.13  completed a project predesign that describes the project's 
 25.14  purpose, scope, cost, and schedule.  
 25.15     (b) The commissioner's evaluation of each request, 
 25.16  including whether it meets each of the criteria in paragraph 
 25.17  (a), must be submitted to the legislature along with the 
 25.18  governor's recommendations under section 16A.11, subdivision 1, 
 25.19  whether or not the governor recommends that the request be 
 25.20  funded. 
 25.21     Sec. 34.  [116J.571] [CREATION OF ACCOUNTS.] 
 25.22     Two greater Minnesota redevelopment accounts are created, 
 25.23  one in the general fund and one in the bond proceeds fund.  
 25.24  Money in the accounts may be used to make grants as provided in 
 25.25  section 116J.575.  Money in the bond proceeds fund may only be 
 25.26  used for eligible costs for publicly owned property.  Money in 
 25.27  the general fund may be used to pay for the commissioner's costs 
 25.28  in reviewing the applications.

 30.36  location for the discharge compared to 
 30.37  the alternatives, the agency shall not 
 30.38  apply the penalty factor to the project.

 30.44  systems with an existing or regional 
 30.45  wastewater treatment system.

 30.48  Grants Program to provide 50 percent 
 30.49  reimbursement for the cost of equipment 
 30.50  and installation into an existing 
 30.51  municipal wastewater treatment system.  
 30.52  The project must be approved by the 
 30.53  pollution control agency and 
 30.54  demonstrate the application of existing 
 30.55  technology that has not been used 
 30.56  before in the treatment of municipal 
 30.57  wastewater, but has the potential to 
 30.58  improve the treatment of wastewater or 
 30.59  make the treatment process more cost 
 30.60  effective. 
 30.61  Beginning with the 2001 intended use 
 30.62  plan, the pollution control agency
