INSTRUCTIONS
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
Under the authority of the Contamination Cleanup Grant Program, (Minnesota Statutes §§ 116J.551-116J.558),
the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) is able to award grant funds toward the costs
of investigating for contaminants and developing a Response Action Plan (RAP) to clean contamination. The
Contamination Cleanup Grant Program was created by the legislature in 1993 to provide funds for cleaning
contaminated sites. The Program was amended in 1997 to allow DEED to grant funds for contamination
investigation and RAP development. The investigation grant funds are intended to initiate the environmental
remediation process so that properties believed to be polluted can be cleaned and redeveloped.
APPLICATION DEADLINES:
The Contamination Investigation and RAP Development Grant Program operates on a semi-annual grant cycle
in conjunction with the Contamination Cleanup Grant Deadlines for submitting applications are May 1 and
November 1 by 4:00 p.m. each year. If these days fall on a weekend, the deadline will be the following
business day. Four complete sets of application documents are required for each project: 2 paper copies and
2 on two flash drives. An applicant may apply for more than one project, but a separate application must be
completed for each site.
NOTE: Emailed applications will not be accepted. Please fill out the entire application. All applications must
be complete upon submission to qualify for a grant. This includes the fully signed required resolutions.
Applications should be in a binder or bound with attachments clearly marked and tabbed.
FUNDING AVAILABILITY/ELIGIBILE COSTS:
DEED is allotted a maximum of $500,000 per fiscal year for investigation grants. The legislation allows DEED to
award grants for up to $50,000, or 75% of the total investigation costs, whichever is less, for contamination
investigation and RAP development costs.
Applicants at the beginning of the investigation process may apply for all investigation and RAP development
costs up front. Or, if an applicant has completed and financed a portion of the investigation on their own, they
may apply for reimbursement of the remainder of the investigation and RAP costs. Investigation costs already
incurred and financed may be included in the budget but will only count towards the required match. If the
entire investigation is complete and site cleanup is necessary, do not apply through the investigation program,
but apply for cleanup funds via the Contamination Cleanup Grant Program.

Investigation and RAP Development Grant Application FY22
iii
ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS:
Eligible applicants for this program are statutory or home rule charter cities, economic development authorities,
housing and redevelopment authorities, counties, or port authorities. While these are the eligible applicants,
the site can be either privately or publicly owned.
LOCAL MATCH REQUIREMENT:
It is required that the applicant or other local source pay for 25 percent of the project costs as a local match to
obtain an Investigation Grant. Of this local match, the applicant must pay an amount equal to 12 percent of the
investigation costs from the municipality’s general fund, a property tax levy or other unrestricted money
available to the municipality. This 12 percent cannot include funds from other grant sources or Tax Increment
Financing. Costs already incurred can only count towards match and cannot be reimbursed with grant funds.
QUALITY SITE ASSESSMENTS:
Applicants must be enrolled in a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) voluntary program and follow the
MPCA investigation and RAP development guidelines to ensure that quality site assessments are conducted, and
to allow the applicant to qualify for a Contamination Cleanup Grant (which requires an approved RAP from the
MPCA). The MPCA has guidance documents and fact sheets available for performing investigations. The
guidance documents should be followed throughout the investigation and RAP development process. If awarded
an Investigation grant, it is expected that the investigation will be completed and result in an MPCA approved
RAP or other documentation showing that cleanup is not necessary. All environmental reports resulting from
this grant should be submitted to and approved by the MPCA. For more information, you may access the MPCA
website for Guidance Documents and Risk-Based Site Evaluations.
GRANT ELIGIBLE QUALIFYING SITES:
A site must meet each of the following criteria to qualify for a Contamination Investigation and RAP
Development Grant:
1) A grant may not be given to a municipality in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area unless it is
participating in the Metropolitan Council Local Housing Incentives Program. For information on participating in
the Local Housing Incentives Program, call Tara Beard, Manager, Livable Communities, Metropolitan Council at
651-602-1051.
2) It is expected that the site will be improved with buildings or other improvements. If the
investigation identifies the need to remediate, it is expected that cleanup will be accomplished so that the site
can be developed within a reasonable period. The improvements should provide benefits such as a tax base
increase, new jobs, or other public benefits. Final development of polluted sites could include, for example,
commercial, industrial, office or housing development
GRANT AWARD CRITERIA:
The law directs DEED to make grants for sites that provide the highest return in public benefits for the public
costs incurred. To evaluate the applications for public benefits with respect to the costs incurred, the law
further specifies priorities which DEED must consider. The legislative priorities listed below have been assigned
maximum point values to systematically award grants in each cycle. Please note, an application must receive a

EDA Agenda Item 7
MEETING DATE: October 12, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: CVB Bank Account
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
STAFF RECOMMENATION: Deny the request for a separate bank account managed solely by the
CVB for the reasons stated below.
PREVIOUS BOARD ACTION: EDA approved the CVB Strategic Plan at their May 18, 2021 meeting.
In July, EDA heard the request from CVB to open a bank account for collecting membership dues and
paying for items that have a short turn around that cannot wait for a city check or staff to pay with a credit
card. The majority of the EDA board concurred with staff regarding running the funds through the City
of St. Joseph’s bank account with monthly reporting provided to CVB.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The CVB Strategic Plan set a goal to increase their budget beyond
just lodging tax collections. One of the alternate methods of adding funds was to add membership fees.
The membership contributions would allow more advertising for the businesses that participate on
brochures, website, Facebook, newsletters, etc. All businesses will be highlighted; the businesses that
participate with a membership fee would receive more hits. In return, the CVB can expand their
programming needs. A couple items that could be added to the 2022 budget include retargeting visitors,
story writing/ads and MN Trails magazine advertising.
The question was posed on whether or not the CVB can open and operate a separate bank account from
the City’s accounts. This would allow quick payment for items to receive services/merchandise more
quickly. One recent incident was for a family planning to stay in St. Joseph for a SHRPA visit. The CVB
needed to arrange for a hotel stay for a family of four. The family would then write a review of their stay
for the SHRPA website. While Mary Bruno was trying to coordinate dates, she needed to find a City staff
with a City credit card to book the hotel room. If CVB had their own account, Mary could have taken
care of the booking herself.
While the scenario above may be inconvenient and frustrating to coordinate, there are reasons the City
maintains a centralized banking account. The main reason is for internal control purposes. The City of
St. Joseph adopted financial policies under the recommendation of the MN State Auditor and in
accordance with MN State Statutes. In addition, the City is required to have an annual financial audit by
an accredited CPA firm. The auditors review compliance with State Statutes, test internal controls and
processes within the guidance of the City’s financial policies, and opines on whether or not the City
follows Governmental Accounting Standards.
The City adopted ordinance 610 establishing the CVB. The ordinance states the CVB to report directly to
the EDA. The EDA will oversea the CVB budget. The St. Joseph CVB will market and promote St.
Joseph as a tourist and convention center. The use of the funds received will be expended in accordance
with MN State Statutes.
The EDA is considered a Blended Component Unit of the City of St. Joseph. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) describes a blended component unit as an entity financially
accountable to the City. The city council approves the EDA budget and monitors the finances. The EDA
does not hold a separate bank account, nor separate federal or state tax ID. As such, the EDA falls under
the City of St. Joseph’s financial policies.
Under the City’s financial policies, written in accordance with MN State Statutes, the EDA recommends
purchases to city council. They can approve update $1,000 for a single purchase without city council
approval as long as budgeted expenditure. The City’s Investment policy stated a bank accounts will be
consolidated unless restricted or special fund that is necessary to be separate. Bank accounts are pooled
to maximize interest earnings. Separate reporting funds are maintained in the City’s financial system.
The EDA and CVB have separate funds where all transactions for these purposes are tracked under their
funds.
The MN State Auditor published a Statement of Position regarding the importance of internal controls.
Internal controls are designed to protect a local government from loss or misuse of its assets. Sound
internal controls help; ensure that transactions are property authorized and that the information contained
in financial reports is reliable. Cities have to determine the level of internal controls to maintain to
safeguard funds, provide efficient and effective management of assets and permit accurate financial
accounting.
There may be a scenario where a large sub-organization of the City would manage a separate bank
account. The sub-organization is generally made up of a group of full-time employees and manages a
separate financial system that merges to the city-wide system. These decentralized systems sometimes
have a separate federal and state tax ID as well. There are other control mechanisms in place to oversee
the sub-organization.
The City of St. Joseph is a small local government. The CVB transactions are a few per month. The EDA
would need to weigh in the pros and cons of adding the risk of a separate bank account for the CVB and
provide a recommendation to city council. City council would be the final decision-maker in this case.
Staff recommends maintaining all CVB funding through the City’s bank accounts as we have been.
Monthly reconciliations and reporting will continue. If a check or credit card is needed more
immediately, City staff can assist. There are infrequent times when an “emergency” purchase is needed.
To safeguard city funds and ensure all transactions are recorded within the guidelines of federal and
state laws, GASB, City financial policies and budget controls, continuing the consolidated cash fund
through city offices is recommended.
