1.9carrying out a governmental program established or authorized by law and established by
1.10official action of the contracting public officer or agency, in accordance with orders of the
1.11commissioner intended to ensure the legality and tax-exempt status of bonds issued to
1.12finance the property, and with the approval of the commissioner. A lease or management
1.13contract, including any renewals that are solely at the option of the lessee, must be for a

In the event that the
1.17lessor and lessee do not renew the lease or management contract and if the lessee has
1.18contributed to the land and the capital improvements on the state bond financed property,
1.19the lessor may agree to reimburse the lessee for its investment in the land and capital
1.20improvements by purchasing the lessee's interest in the property or otherwise, which
1.21amount may be paid, at the option of the lessor and lessee, at the time of nonrenewal
1.22without a requirement of a prior escrow for funds or at such later date and additional
1.23terms as are agreed to by the lessor and the lessee. A lease or management contract must
1.24be terminable by the contracting public officer or agency if the other contracting party
1.25defaults under the contract or if the governmental program is terminated or changed, and
1.26must provide for program oversight by the contracting public officer or agency. Money

2.1not needed to pay and not authorized to be used to pay operating costs of the property,
2.2or to pay the principal, interest, redemption premiums, and other expenses when due on
2.3debt related to the property other than state bonds, must be:
2.4 (1) paid to the commissioner in the same proportion as the state bond financing is
2.5to the total public debt financing for the property, excluding debt issued by a unit of
2.6government for which it has no financial liability;
2.7 (2) deposited in the state bond fund; and
2.8 (3) used to pay or redeem or defease bonds issued to finance the property in
2.9accordance with the commissioner's order authorizing their issuance.
2.10 The money paid to the commissioner is appropriated for this purpose.
2.11 (c) With the approval of the commissioner, a lease or management contract between
2.12a city and a nonprofit corporation under section
471.191, subdivision 1, need not require
2.13the lessee to pay rentals sufficient to pay the principal, interest, redemption premiums,
2.14and other expenses when due with respect to state bonds issued to acquire and better

2.22the governmental program for which it was acquired or constructed, the sale is made as
2.23authorized by law, the sale is made for fair market value, and the sale is approved by the
2.24commissioner. If any state bonds issued to purchase or better the state bond financed
2.25property that is sold remain outstanding on the date of sale, the net proceeds of sale must
2.26be applied as follows:
2.27 (1) if the state bond financed property was acquired and bettered solely with state
2.28bond proceeds, the net proceeds of sale must be paid to the commissioner, deposited in
2.29the state bond fund, and used to pay or redeem or defease the outstanding state bonds in
2.30accordance with the commissioner's order authorizing their issuance, and the proceeds are
2.31appropriated for this purpose; or
2.32 (2) if the state bond financed property was acquired or bettered partly with state
