Amounts deposited with the court shall be paid out under the direction of the court. If it is deemed necessary to deposit the above amount with the court the petitioner may apply to the court for an order

transferring title and possession of the property or properties involved from the owner to the petitioner. In all other cases, petitioner has the right to the title and possession after the filing of the award by the court appointed commissioners as follows:

(a) if appeal is waived by the parties upon payment of the award;

(b) if appeal is not waived by the parties upon payment or deposit of three-fourths of the award. The amount deposited shall be deposited by the court administrator in an interest bearing account no later than the business day next following the day on which the amount was deposited with the court. All interest credited to the amount deposited from the date of deposit shall be paid to the ultimate recipient of the amount deposited.

When acquisition of private property is accomplished by any other acquiring authority, the owner is entitled to reimbursement for appraisal fees, not to exceed $500, expert fees, attorney fees, and other reasonable costs and disbursements if the owner is otherwise entitled to reimbursement under sections 117.50 to 117.56. The purchaser in all instances shall inform the owner of the right, if any, to reimbursement for appraisal fees, expert fees, attorney fees, and other costs and disbursements reasonably incurred, in an amount not to exceed $500, together with relocation costs, moving costs and any other related expenses to which an owner is entitled by sections 117.50 to 117.56. This subdivision does not apply to acquisition for utility purposes made by a public service corporation organized pursuant to section 300.03 or electric cooperative associations organized pursuant to chapter 308A.

Subd. 2. In the event the purchaser and owner agree on the fair market value of the property but cannot agree on the appraisal fees, expert fees, attorney fees, other reasonable costs and disbursements, and moving costs, the owner shall have the option to accept the offer for the property and reject the offer for the appraisal fees, expert fees, attorney fees, other reasonable costs and disbursements, and moving costs. In addition thereto, the owner may, after due notice to all interested parties, bring a motion at a special term of the district court in the county in which the property is located for a determination of such moving costs and appraisal fees by the court."

The secretary of state may establish satellite offices by written agreements with public officials within the state for the purpose of meeting the filing officer responsibilities described in sections 336.9-528 to 336.9-530. The term of the agreement must be set by, and may be renewed by, mutual agreement. The agreement may be terminated upon 60 days' notice. The secretary must maintain a list of those public officials authorized to act as satellite offices. The secretary of state must make this list available in an electronic format and the list must be updated at least monthly. 

Sec. 99. [336.9-528] [FILING; ASSIGNMENT OF FILING INFORMATION AT SATELLITE OFFICES.]

Satellite offices shall accept Uniform Commercial Code documents and respond to requests for information pursuant to the provisions of sections 336.9-101 to 336.9-708. A filing made at a satellite office is filed and effective at the same time and under the same rules provided for filing in any other manner in the Uniform Commercial Code information system. The filing date, time, and file number for any Uniform Commercial Code document accepted at a satellite office must be automatically assigned by the Uniform Commercial Code information management system operated by the secretary of state, and the file number must be the next available file number in the Uniform Commercial Code information management system.

Sec. 100. [336.9-529] [MAINTENANCE AND RETRIEVAL OF DOCUMENTS AND DATA.]

The secretary of state shall maintain all Uniform Commercial Code documents and the database used to index them regardless of where or how the Uniform Commercial Code document was filed.

Uniform Commercial Code documents and data shall be available from the secretary of state or any satellite office. The secretary of state shall arrange by mutual agreement with county recorders for the storage and retrieval of existing Uniform Commercial Code documents.

Any filing office within the Uniform Commercial Code information management system may respond to requests for information, and the secretary of state shall establish and administer a system to facilitate those responses.

Sec. 101. [336.9-530] [SATELLITE OFFICES; UNIFORMITY OF SERVICES ASSURED.]

Subdivision 1. [PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.] All filing officers must perform the responsibilities in sections 336.9-501 to 336.9-530 and rules adopted under section 140 in a uniform manner, whether services are provided by the secretary of state or at a satellite office location. Reports by citizens describing concerns with performance of filing officer responsibilities must be made to the secretary of state. The secretary of state is responsible for responding to reports about performance in a manner the secretary of state determines is appropriate.

Subd. 2. [FAILURE TO MEET PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.] If, upon investigation of citizen reports described in subdivision 1, the secretary of state determines that performance by a satellite office of the filing officer responsibilities has been so unsatisfactory that customer service has been severely impaired, the secretary of state must terminate the satellite office's status and ability to perform filing office responsibilities. If a satellite office's ability to perform filing office responsibilities is terminated by the secretary of state, the change in status must be posted in the former satellite office and must also be publicly posted in the county courthouse in the county in which the former satellite office is located and must be made available in an electronic format."
