capital improvements to public municipal wastewater collection systems to reduce the
amount of inflow and infiltration to the Council's metropolitan sanitary sewer disposal
system ("UI Municipal Grant Program")
2. The monies allocated to fund the appropriation to the Council are proceeds of
state general obligation bonds authorized to be issued under Article XI, § 5(a) of the

ownership interest and/or improve such real property and structures and that such funds
may be used to only acquire such ownership interest and/or improve a part of such real
property and structures.
8. Council and Grantee desire to set forth herein the provisions relating to the

the Real Property and Facility unless all of the following provisions have been complied
with fully.
A. The Grantee determines, by official action, that such ownership interest

suitable or financially feasible for such purpose.
B. The sale is made as authorized by law.
C. The sale is for Fair Market Value.
D. The written consent of the Commissioner of MMB has been obtained.

enforcement of a security interest in personal property used in the operation thereof,
by a lender that has provided monies for the acquisition of the Grantee's ownership
interest in or betterment of the Real Property Facility shall not be considered a sale
for the purposes of this Agreement if after such acquisition the lender operates such
portion of the Real Property and Facility in a manner which is not inconsistent with
the requirements imposed under Section 2.04 and the lender uses its best efforts to
sell such acquired interest to a third party for Fair Market Value. The lender's

shall be deemed to be a sale for the purposes of this Agreement, and the proceeds
thereof shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions contained in Section
4.02.
The Grantee may participate in any public auction of its ownership interest in the
Real Property and Facility and bid thereon; provided that the Grantee agrees that if it is
the successful purchaser it will not use any part of the Real Property or Facility for the

shall be distributed to (i) pay in full any outstanding Approved Debt, (ii) reimburse
the Grantee for its Ownership Value, and (iii) to pay interested public and private

acknowledge and agree that the Grantee's ownership interest in the Real Property and

exempt status of the State G.O. Bonds, the Grantee agrees as follows:

could cause the interest on the State G.O. Bonds to no longer be tax exempt and
upon direction from the Commissioner of MMB, take such actions and furnish such
documents as the Commissioner of MMB determines to be necessary to ensure that
the interest to be paid on the State G.O. Bonds is exempt from federal taxation,
which such action may include either: (i) compliance with proceedings intended to
classify the State G.O. Bonds as a "qualified bond" within the meaning of Section
141(e) of the Code, (ii) changing the nature of the use of the Real Property or
Facility so that none of the net proceeds of the State G.O. Bonds will be used,
directly or indirectly, in an "unrelated trade or business" or for any "private
business use" (within the meaning of Sections 141(b) and 145(a) of the Code), or
(iv) compliance with other Code provisions, regulations, or revenue procedures
which amend or supersede the foregoing.
E. It will not otherwise use any of the G.O. Grant, including earnings

maintain such tax exempt status, and if it should take, permit, omit to take, or cause
to be taken, as appropriate, any such action, it shall take all lawful actions necessary
0 21
•
to rescind or correct such actions or omissions promptly upon having knowledge
thereof.
Section 5.03 Changes to G.O. Compliance Legislation or the Commissioner's
Order. In the event that the G.O. Compliance Legislation or the Commissioner's Order
is amended in a manner that reduces any requirement imposed against the Grantee, or if
the Grantee's ownership interest in the Real Property or Facility is exempt from the G.O.
Compliance Legislation and the Commissioner's Order, then upon written request by the
Grantee the Council shall enter into and execute an amendment to this Agreement to
implement herein such amendment to or exempt the Grantee's ownership interest in the
Real Property and Facility from the G.O. Compliance Legislation or the Commissioner's
Order.

Article VII.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.01 Insurance. The Grantee shall, upon acquisition of the ownership
interest delineated in Section 2.02, insure the Facility, if such exists, in an amount equal
to the full insurable value thereof (i) by self insuring under a program of self insurance
legally adopted, maintained and adequately funded by the Grantee, or (ii) by way of
builders risk insurance and fire and extended coverage insurance with a deductible in an
amount acceptable to the Council under which the Council and the Grantee are named as
0 25
•
loss payees. If damages which are covered by such required insurance occur, then the
Grantee shall, at its sole option and discretion, either: (y) use or cause the insurance
proceeds to be used to fully or partially repair such damage and to provide or cause to be
provided whatever additional funds that may be needed to fully or partially repair such
damage, or (z) sell its ownership interest in the damaged Facility and portion of the Real
Property associated therewith in accordance with the provisions contained in Section
4.01.
If the Grantee elects to only partially repair such damage, then the portion of the
insurance proceeds not used for such repair shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions contained in Section 4.02 as if the Grantee's ownership interest in the Real
Property and Facility had been sold, and such amounts shall be credited against the
amounts due and owing under Section 4.02 upon the ultimate sale of the Grantee's
ownership interest in the Real Property and Facility. If the Grantee elects to sell its
ownership interest in the damaged Facility and portion of the Real Property associated
therewith, then such sale must occur within a reasonable time period from the date the
damage occurred and the cumulative sum of the insurance proceeds plus the proceeds of
such sale must be applied in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 4.02,
with the insurance proceeds being so applied within a reasonable time period from the
date they are received by the Grantee.
If the Grantee elects to maintain general comprehensive liability insurance
regarding the Real Property and Facility, then the Grantee shall have the Council named
as an additional named insured therein.
At the written request of either the Council or the Commissioner of MMB, the
Grantee shall promptly furnish to the requesting entity all written notices and all paid
premium receipts received by the Grantee regarding the required insurance, or certificates
of insurance evidencing the existence of such required insurance.
If the Grantee fails to provide and maintain the insurance required under this
Section, then the Council may, at its sole option and discretion, obtain and maintain
insurance of an equivalent nature and any funds expended by the Council to obtain or
maintain such insurance shall be due and payable on demand by the Council and bear
interest from the date of advancement by the Council at a rate equal to the lesser of the
maximum interest rate allowed by law or 18% per annum based upon a 365 -day year.
Provided, however, nothing contained herein, including but not limited to this Section,
shall require the Council to obtain or maintain such insurance, and the Council's decision
to not obtain or maintain such insurance shall not lessen the Grantee's duty to obtain and
maintain such insurance.
Section 7.02 Condemnation. If after the Grantee has acquired the ownership
interest delineated in Section 2.02 all or any portion of the Real Property and Facility is
condemned to an extent that the Grantee can no longer comply with the provisions
contained in Section 2.04, then the Grantee shall, at its sole option and discretion, either:
(i) use or cause the condemnation proceeds to be used to acquire an interest in additional
• 26
•
real property needed for the Grantee to continue to comply with the provisions contained
in Section 2.04 and to fully or partially restore the Facility and to provide or cause to be
provided whatever additional funds that may be needed for such purposes, or (ii) sell the
remaining portion of its ownership interest in the Real Property and Facility in
accordance with the provisions contained in Section 4.01. Any condemnation proceeds
which are not used to acquire an interest in additional real property or to restore the
Facility shall be applied in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 4.02 as if
the Grantee's ownership interest in the Real Property and Facility had been sold, and
such amounts shall be credited against the amounts due and owing under Section 4.02
upon the ultimate sale of the Grantee's ownership interest in the remaining Real Property
and Facility. If the Grantee elects to sell its ownership interest in the portion of the Real
Property and Facility that remains after the condemnation, then such sale must occur
within a reasonable time period from the date the condemnation occurred and the
cumulative sum of the condemnation proceeds plus the proceeds of such sale must be
applied in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 4.02, with the
condemnation proceeds being so applied within a reasonable time period from the date

Re: Waiver of Real Property Declaration - Metropolitan Cities Inflow and Infiltration Grants
Dear Mr. Willett:
1 have reviewed your letter dated September 24, 2010 requesting a waiver pursuant to Section 7.02(b) of the Third
Order Amending Order of Commissioner of Finance dated August 26, 2010 (the "Commissioner's Order") of the
requirement that a real property declaration be recorded in connection with grants to metropolitan -area cities to
address inflow and infiltration into local sanitary sewer copection systems.
I waive the requirement that a declaration be recorded for the portion ofsuch projects which lies entirely within
public road, street and highway rights -0f --way and utility casements. However, a declaraiton will need to be
executed and recorded for any portion of a project which is on land outside of such areas.
• Please note that this letter only waives the requirement that a declaration be recorded. the property will remain
bond -financed property and subject to all the other requirements ofMmn. Stat. Sec. 16A.695 and the
Commissioner's Order-.
This waiver is conditional upon our receiving a signed copy of the bond -f rianoed property Certification
(substantially in the form attached to the sample grant agreement attached to your letter) from each grantee who
receives a grant from this program, in which such grantee acknowledges that the project property is bond -financed
property and thus is subject to all the other requirements of Minn Stat. Sec. 16A.695 and the Commissioner's
Order. Each signed Certification should be seat to Gay Greiter, Capital Budget Coordinator at Minnesota
Management & Budget, at the address below.
Sincerely,
Tom J. Hanson
Commissioner
