[NOTE: * Indicates line-item veto or line-item vetos.]

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

It is my honor to inform you that I have received, approved, signed and deposited in the Office of the Secretary of State, Chapter Number 240, H. F. No. 2205, a bill relating to capital improvements, with the exception of the provisions listed on the attachment to this letter.

My administration is committed to capital budget reform principles that direct major capital budgets and bonding bills to be adopted in legislative sessions of even-numbered years, with consideration of emergency-only bonding bills in the odd-numbered years. For that reason, I instructed my agencies to make difficult budget decisions about living within available resources and proposed no bonding bill in 1999. I have concerns with several items in the 1999 bonding bill.

First, projects funded in the odd-numbered years must meet strict criteria as emergency items with no other available financing alternatives in order to be funded with bonds backed by statewide taxes. Projects that are less than emergencies should wait for consideration until the 2000 legislative session, when they can be reviewed and prioritized against competing requests.

Second, state agencies and political subdivisions should fund their projects to the fullest extent possible before requesting additional state assistance. For example, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) received an appropriation of $43 million in the 1998 bonding bill for asset preservation purposes. Significant portions of this appropriation have not been encumbered or spent. The MnSCU board should utilize their 1998 appropriation for its highest and best use by reprioritizing projects based on urgency. Important, but less urgent, projects can be reconsidered during the 2000 capital budget process.

Additionally, bonding projects should be prioritized according to statewide need. It is not appropriate to include items that should be funded at the local level when items of statewide importance are left out of the bill. Local self-reliance should be the primary method of funding local projects. Political subdivisions must accept the fact that the state is not responsible for and cannot fund all requests. This is not meant to diminish the value of local projects. It is a reminder, however, of the principle that each level of government bears responsibility for providing certain primary services to the public.

Finally, the bonding reauthorizations for the Labor Interpretive Center effectively represent new appropriations. I have vetoed those reauthorizations consistent with my other actions on this issue.

Based on these concerns, I cannot in good conscience allow certain projects to go forward at this time.

The following items in Chapter Number 240, H. F. No. 2205, have been line item vetoed:

Page 2, article 1, section 2, all subdivisions, lines 20 to 41

Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, $11,080,000

Transportation, Local Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation, $10,000,000

Page 6, article 1, section 9, subdivision 4, lines 6 to 14

Transportation, Transportation Revolving Fund, $10,000,000

The Speaker called Paulsen to the Chair.

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

It is my duty to inform you that I have received, approved, signed and deposited in the Office of the Secretary of State, Chapter Number 492, H. F. No. 4078. I believe the Legislature has done a good job in keeping the overall size of this bill limited and has recognized the state's priority investments. I have respected those efforts and signed into law most of the projects authorized in the bill, with the following exceptions:

Page 26, article 1, section 14, lines 46 to 54

Page 27, article 1, section 14, lines 1 to 5

Page 14, article 1, section 5, subd. 11, lines 47 to 55

Page 24, article 1, section 10, subd. 5, lines 11 to 22

Page 35, article 1, section 22, subd. 7, lines 59 to 60

Page 36, article 1, section 22, subd. 7, lines 1 to 3

Page 21, article 1, section 7, subd. 30, lines 6 to 14

Page 27, article 1, section 14, subd. 3, lines 6 to 21

Page 29, article 1, section 18, subd. 2, lines 52 to 61

Page 30, article 1, section 18, subd. 2, lines 1 to 8

Page 36, article 1, section 22, subd. 9, lines 11 to 26

I am vetoing the following appropriations: $1,000,000 to the Lanesboro Center for the Arts, $1,511,000 million for Multicultural Development Grants, $500,000 for the Center for Agricultural Innovation Center in Olivia, $100,000 for the Landfall HRA for retaining walls, and $150,000 for the St. Croix Valley Heritage Center. I believe that local or private funding is the most appropriate financing source for each of these projects.

I am vetoing the $3,000,000 appropriation to the City of Minneapolis for the Guthrie Theatre Foundation. Projects of this nature should, at a minimum, be able to demonstrate significant local and philanthropic financial commitments prior to a request for state funding. I also believe additional policy discussions should take place before establishing a commitment by the state to funding arts capital requests.

I am vetoing $135,000 to the Department of Health for the purposes of funding the Organ Donor Vehicle. There are a variety of health-related causes that are worthy of public education but it is not the state's role to single out one cause or outreach mechanism. This vehicle and the subsequent educational materials should be funded through private sources.

I am also vetoing $2,700,000 for the Cold Weather Testing Center in International Falls. I am concerned that public funding for this operation would compete with other cold weather testing centers in the region.

The last provision where I have some concerns are those in Article 1, Section 20, subd. 2, the grants for the law enforcement training facilities. Camp Ripley is a centrally- located, state-operated property that should be used to its maximum potential. I have chosen not to veto this language or funding. However, I have instructed the Commissioner of Finance not to release these funds until this Administration is persuaded that the development of local training facilities will not adversely affect the training opportunities offered at Camp Ripley.

Finally, for all the aforementioned projects that were vetoed, I believe that there were more pressing state needs that could have been addressed with these funds.

Sincerely,

Jesse Ventura

Governor

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

It is my honor to inform you that I have received, approved, signed and deposited in the Office of the Secretary of State, Chapter Number 479, H. F. No. 2891, with the exception of page 8, article 1, section 5, lines 4 through 16.

While I have signed the bill into law, I am tremendously disappointed in its content. The Legislature has missed a major opportunity to enact a long-term financing package that would provide permanent funding increases for highway and transit infrastructure that is critical to Minnesota's future sustainable economic development. My administration's transportation plan would have accomplished these goals and provided meaningful motor vehicle registration tax reduction.

Instead, the legislature has squandered the opportunity by settling for $400 million in one-time general fund highway funding and $100 million in trunk highway bonding. At best, this will accelerate a few already-planned highway projects, and it largely ignores needed new investment in transit.

In addition, the bill contains problematic provisions relating to allowable uses for trunk highway funds. It is difficult to understand how appropriations made by the Legislature for many biennia could now be considered unconstitutional. Furthermore, while the bill shifts these appropriations to the general fund for FY 2001, the Legislature is ignoring the out-year impacts of this decision, and not tracking these costs in FY 2002- 03. Be advised that the Department of Finance's numbers will reflect these costs.

I have line item vetoed a $750,000 appropriation to the Commissioner of Trade and Economic Development for new travel information centers in the Minnesota River valley. We do not believe it is cost-effective to place three new travel information centers in such close proximity, and feel that any new tourism- related appropriations would be better spent improving actual tourism destinations like trails or parks.

Sincerely,

Jesse Ventura

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

It is my honor to inform you that I have received, approved, signed and deposited in the Office of the Secretary of State, Chapter Number 488, H. F. No. 2699 with the following exceptions:

Page 75, Article 4, Section 5, Subd. 5, lines 15 to 26.

Page 76, Article 4, Section 7, lines 34 to 40.

I am vetoing $30,000 to the Department of Public Safety for the purchase of Drug Detection Dogs. This is a local law enforcement cost that should be paid for with local funds. A better idea, which was proposed by the House, would have allowed the use of existing community oriented policing grant money for this purpose. I am also vetoing

the provision appropriating $1,750,000 to the Department of Corrections for one-time grants to be used for construction costs for adult regional detention facilities. These facilities are the responsibility of local units of government, not the state.

Sincerely,

Jesse Ventura

The Honorable Steve Sviggum

Speaker of the House of Representatives

The State of Minnesota

Dear Speaker Sviggum:

I have vetoed and am returning Chapter Number 277, H. F. No. 118, a bill relating to appointed commissioners who are required to serve as acting commissioners pending Senate approval and limited to temporary service of 18 months.

It is the Senate's constitutional responsibility to confirm commissioners appointed by the Governor. However, this bill is problematic because it presumes an acting commissioner would be dismissed if the Senate failed to fulfill its obligation to act on the appointment within the 18 month period of time. The confirmation of commissioners is an important role for the Senate. It is imperative to maintain a certain level of accountability and a clear expectation for all parties involved.

I look forward to working with the legislature to create a comprehensive piece of legislation that addresses the concerns of both the legislative and executive branches of government on this matter.

Sincerely,

Jesse Ventura

Governor

We, the undersigned conferees for S. F. No. 3730, report that we have agreed upon the items in dispute and recommend as follows:

That the House recede from its amendments and that S. F. No. 3730 be further amended as follows:

Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 360.036, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

Subd. 2. [ISSUANCE OF BONDS.] (a) Bonds to be issued by a municipality under sections 360.011 to 360.076, shall be authorized and issued in the manner and within the limitation prescribed by laws or the charter of the municipality for the issuance and authorization of bonds for public purposes generally, except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c).

(b) No election is required to authorize the issuance of the bonds if:

(1) a board organized under section 360.042 recommends by a resolution adopted by a vote of not less than 60 percent of its members the issuance of bonds, and (2) the bonds are authorized by a resolution of the governing body of each of the municipalities acting jointly pursuant to section 360.042, adopted by a vote of not less than 60 percent of its members; or

(2) the bonds are being issued for the purpose of financing the costs of constructing, enlarging, or improving airports and other air navigation facilities; and

(i) the governing body estimates that passenger facility charges and other revenues pledged to the payment thereof will be at least 20 percent of the debt service payable on the bonds in any year;

(ii) the project will be funded in part by a federal grant for airport development; and

(iii) the principal amount of the bonds issued under this clause does not exceed 25 percent of the amount of the federal grant.

(c) If the bonds are general obligations of the municipality, the levy of taxes required by section 475.61 to pay principal and interest on the bonds is not included in computing or applying any levy limitation applicable to the municipality.

Sec. 3. [373.45] [STATE PAYMENT OF DEBT OBLIGATION UPON POTENTIAL DEFAULT; REPAYMENT; STATE OBLIGATION NOT DEBT.]

Subdivision 1. [DEFINITIONS.] (a) As used in this section, the following terms have the meanings given.

(b) "Authority" means the Minnesota public facilities authority.

(c) "Commissioner" means the commissioner of finance.

(d) "Debt obligation" means a general obligation bond issued by a county to provide funds for the construction of:

(1) jails;

(2) correctional facilities;

(3) law enforcement facilities;

(4) social services and human services facilities; or

(5) solid waste facilities. 

Subd. 2. [APPLICATION.] (a) This section provides a state guarantee of the payment of principal and interest on debt obligations if:

(1) the obligations are issued after June 30, 2000;

(2) application to the public facilities authority is made before issuance; and

(3) the obligations are covered by an agreement meeting the requirements of subdivision 3.

(b) Applications to be covered by the provisions of this section must be made in a form and contain the information prescribed by the authority. Applications are subject to a fee of $500 for the first bond issue requested by the county and $250 for each bond issue thereafter.

(c) Application fees paid under this section must be deposited in a separate county bond guarantee account in the general fund. Money in the county bond guarantee account is appropriated to the authority for purposes of administering this section.

(d) Neither the authority nor the commissioner is required to promulgate administrative rules under this section and the procedures and requirements established by the authority or commissioner under this section are not subject to chapter 14.

Subd. 3. [AGREEMENT.] (a) In order for specified debt obligations of a county to be covered by the provisions of this section, the county must enter an agreement with the authority obligating the county to be bound by the provisions of this section. This agreement must be in a form prescribed by the authority and contain any provisions required by the authority, including at least an obligation to:

(1) deposit with the paying agent three days before the date on which the payment is due an amount sufficient to make that payment;

(2) notify the authority, if the county will be unable to make all or a portion of the payment; and

(3) include a provision in the bond resolution and county's agreement with the paying agent for the debt obligation that requires the paying agent to inform the commissioner if it becomes aware of a default or potential default in the payment of principal or interest on that issue or if, on the day two business days before the date a payment is due on that issue, there are insufficient funds to make the payment on deposit with the paying agent. Funds invested in a refunding escrow account established under section 475.67 that are to become available to the paying agent on a principal or interest payment date are deemed to be on deposit with the paying agent three business days before the payment date.

(b) The provisions of an agreement under this subdivision are binding as to an issue as long as any debt obligation of the issue remains outstanding.

(c) This section is a contract with bondholders and may not be amended or repealed for the covered bonds so long as the covered bonds are outstanding.

Subd. 4. [NOTIFICATIONS; PAYMENT; APPROPRIATION.] (a) After receipt of a notice of a default or potential default in payment of principal or interest in debt obligations covered by this section or an agreement under this section, and after consultation with the county, the paying agent, and after verification of the accuracy of the information provided, the authority shall notify the commissioner of the potential default. The notice must include a final figure as to the amount due that the county will be unable to repay on the date due.

(b) Upon receipt of this notice from the authority, the commissioner shall issue a warrant and authorize the authority to pay to the paying agent for the debt obligation the specified amount on or before the date due. The amounts needed for the purposes of this subdivision are annually appropriated to the authority from the general fund. 

Subd. 5. [INTEREST ON STATE PAID AMOUNT.] If the state has paid part or all of the principal or interest due on a county's debt obligation, the amount paid bears interest from the date paid by the state until the date of repayment. The interest rate is the state treasurer's invested cash rate as it is certified by the commissioner. Interest only accrues on the amounts paid and outstanding less the reduction in aid under subdivision 7 and other payments received from the county.

Subd. 6. [PLEDGE OF COUNTY'S FULL FAITH AND CREDIT.] If the state has paid part or all of the principal or interest due on a county's debt obligation, the county's pledge of its full faith and credit and unlimited taxing powers to repay the principal and interest due on those debt obligations becomes, without an election or the requirement of a further authorization, a pledge of the full faith and credit and unlimited taxing powers of the county to repay to the state the amount paid, with interest. Amounts paid by the state must be repaid in the order in which the state payments were made.

Subd. 7. [AID REDUCTION FOR REPAYMENT.] (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), the commissioner may reduce, by the amount paid by the state under this section on behalf of the county, plus the interest due on the state payments, the following aids payable to the county:

(1) homestead and agricultural credit aid and disparity reduction aid payable under section 273.1398;

(2) county criminal justice aid payable under section 477A.0121; and

(3) family preservation aid payable under section 477A.0122.

The amount of any aid reduction reverts from the appropriate account to the state general fund.

(b) If, after review of the financial situation of the county, the authority advises the commissioner that a total reduction of the aids would cause an undue hardship on the county, the authority, with the approval of the commissioner, may establish a different schedule for reduction of aids to repay the state. The amount of aids to be reduced are decreased by any amounts repaid to the state by the county from other revenue sources.

Subd. 8. [TAX LEVY FOR REPAYMENT.] (a) With the approval of the authority, a county may levy in the year the state makes a payment under this section an amount up to the amount necessary to provide funds for the repayment of the amount paid by the state plus interest through the date of estimated repayment by the county. The proceeds of this levy may be used only for this purpose unless they exceed the amount actually due. Any excess must be used to repay other state payments made under this section or must be deposited in the debt redemption fund of the county. The amount of aids to be reduced to repay the state are decreased by the amount levied.

(b) If the state is not repaid in full for a payment made under this section by November 30 of the calendar year following the year in which the state makes the payment, the authority shall require the county to certify a property tax levy in an amount up to the amount necessary to provide funds for repayment of the amount paid by the state plus interest through the date of estimated repayment by the county. To prevent undue hardship, the authority may allow the county to certify the levy over a five-year period. The proceeds of the levy may be used only for this purpose unless they are in excess of the amount actually due, in which case the excess must be used to repay other state payments made under this section or must be deposited in the debt redemption fund of the county. If the authority orders the county to levy, the amount of aids reduced to repay the state are decreased by the amount levied.

(c) A levy under this subdivision is an increase in the levy limits of the county for purposes of section 275.065, subdivision 6, and must be explained as a specific increase at the meeting required under that provision.

Subd. 9. [MANDATORY PLAN; TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.] If the state makes payments on behalf of a county under this section or the county defaults in the payment of principal or interest on an outstanding debt obligation, it must submit a plan to the authority for approval specifying the measures it intends to implement to resolve the issues which led to its inability to make the payment and to prevent further defaults. If the authority determines that a county's plan is not adequate, the authority shall notify the county that the plan has been disapproved, the reasons for the disapproval, and that the state will not make future payments under this section for debt obligations of the affected county issued after the date specified in that notice until its plan is approved. The authority may also notify the county that until its plan is approved, aids due the county will be withheld after a date specified in the notice. 

Subd. 10. [CONTINUING DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS.] The authority may enter into written agreements or contracts relating to the continuing disclosure of information needed to facilitate the ability of counties to issue debt obligations according to federal securities laws, rules, and regulations, including securities and exchange commission rules and regulations, section 240.15c2-12. The agreements or contracts may be in any form the authority deems reasonable and in the state's best interests.

428A.101 [SPECIAL SERVICE DISTRICT; SUNSET OF SELF-EXECUTING PROVISIONS.]

Sec. 16. Minnesota Statutes 1999 Supplement, section 475.56, is amended to read:

475.56 [INTEREST RATE.]

(a) Any municipality issuing obligations under any law may issue obligations bearing interest at a single rate or at rates varying from year to year which may be lower or higher in later years than in earlier years. Such higher rate for any period prior to maturity may be represented in part by separate coupons designated as additional coupons, extra coupons, or B coupons, but the highest aggregate rate of interest contracted to be so paid for any period shall not exceed the maximum rate authorized by law. Such higher rate may also be represented in part by the issuance of additional obligations of the same series, over and above but not exceeding two percent of the amount otherwise authorized to be issued, and the amount of such additional obligations shall not be included in the amount required by section 475.59 to be stated in any bond resolution, notice, or ballot, or in the sale price required by section 475.60 or any other law to be paid; but if the principal amount of the entire series exceeds its cash sale price, such excess shall not, when added to the total amount of interest payable on all obligations of the series to their stated maturity dates, cause the average annual rate of such interest to exceed the maximum rate authorized by law. This section does not authorize a provision in any such obligations for the payment of a higher rate of interest after maturity than before.

(b) Any municipality issuing obligations under any law may sell original issue discount obligations having a stated principal amount in excess of the authorized amount and the sale price, provided that:

(1) the sale price does not exceed by more than two percent the amount of obligations otherwise authorized to be issued;

(2) the underwriting fee, discount, or other sales or underwriting commission does not exceed two percent of the sale price; and

(3) the discount rate necessary to present value total principal and interest payments over the term of the issue to the sale price does not exceed the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by law for municipal obligations or ten percent.

(c) Any obligation of an issue of obligations otherwise subject to section 475.55, subdivision 1, may bear interest at a rate varying periodically at the time or times and on the terms, including convertibility to a fixed rate of interest, determined by the governing body of the municipality, but the rate of interest for any period shall not exceed the any maximum rate of interest for the obligations determined in accordance with section 475.55, subdivision 1 established by law. For purposes of section 475.61, subdivisions 1 and 3, the interest payable on variable rate obligations for their term shall be determined as if their rate of interest is the maximum rate permitted for the obligations under section 475.55, subdivision 1, or the lesser of the maximum rate of interest payable on the obligations in accordance

with their terms or the rate estimated for such purpose by the governing body, but if the interest rate is subsequently converted to a fixed rate the levy may be modified to provide at least five percent in excess of amounts necessary to pay principal of and interest at the fixed rate on the obligations when due. For purposes of computing debt service or interest pursuant to section 475.67, subdivision 12, interest throughout the term of bonds issued pursuant to this subdivision is deemed to accrue at the rate of interest first borne by the bonds. The provisions of this paragraph do not apply to general obligations issued by a statutory or home rule charter city with a population of less than 7,500, as defined in section 477A.011, subdivision 3, or to general obligations that are not rated A or better, or an equivalent subsequently established rating, by Standard and Poor's Corporation, Moody's Investors Service or other similar nationally recognized rating agency, except that any statutory or home rule charter city, regardless of population or bond rating, may issue variable rate obligations as a participant in a bond pooling program established by the league of Minnesota cities that meets this bond rating requirement.
