Section 1. [APPROPRIATION FOR 1997 SEVERE WEATHER AFFECTING PUBLIC SAFETY.]
Subdivision 1. [SEVERE WEATHER RELIEF.] A special 1997 severe weather
appropriation is authorized. Funding under this section must be coordinated insofar as possible, and subject to immediate
public safety concerns, with emergency federal funding for the same or similar purposes. Some examples of needs for which
funds are available are: snowplowing for emergencies because the snowplowing budget or other resources are depleted;
emergencies due to severe weather and its aftermath, which may include flooding, and which affects or threatens public
safety; and the required match under 1997 federal weather-related disaster declarations. The division of emergency
management of the department of public safety in cooperation with the department of transportation shall establish a formula
or criteria for distribution of funds.
Subd. 2. [ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.] The appropriation in this act must be
distributed as follows:
(a) An amount up to $7,000,000 is first available:
(1) for the state match of federal disaster funds for 1997 snow-related disaster costs according
to the formula agreed to by the state and the federal emergency management agency (FEMA);
(2) to fund what would otherwise be the local government match for eligible 1997 snow-related
disaster costs in the formula in clause (1);
(3) to fund the ten percent of federal snow-related disaster costs that are eligible under the formula
to determine federal, state, and local shares;
(b) An amount of $6,000,000 is reserved for assistance associated with 1997 flooding or related
emergencies that affect public safety; and
(c) An amount of $7,000,000 plus any amount that is not needed in paragraph (a) shall be
distributed according to a formula that compares snow removal expenditures of local government units for calendar year
1996 to the average annual snow removal expenses for calendar years 1993, 1994, and 1995.
Subd. 3. [1997 FLOOD RELIEF.] If a distribution procedure is not specified in
legislation, the commissioner of public safety, in consultation with the commissioners of transportation, natural resources,
and the pollution control agency, shall establish a formula for the distribution of funds in subdivision 2, paragraph (b). By
June 1, 1997, if the commissioner of public safety determines that all or any portion of the funds reserved in subdivision 2,
paragraph (b), are not needed for the purpose specified in that paragraph, those funds are available for the purpose specified
in subdivision 2, paragraph (c).
Subd. 4. [DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS.] The commissioner of public safety must notify
local governments of the availability of state disaster relief funds and of the information that must be submitted to obtain
funds. Local government units who wish to obtain state disaster relief funds must apply to the commissioner for the funds.
The commissioner may require documentation of costs reported by local governments.
Sec. 2. [APPROPRIATION.]
$20,000,000 in fiscal year 1997 is appropriated from the budget reserve in the general fund to
the commissioner of public safety to be spent as provided in section 1, except that the commissioner may use necessary funds
for administration of this program.
Sec. 3. [NO PRECEDENT SET.]
Funding by the state in this article for costs that would otherwise be a local fiscal responsibility
under funding formulas negotiated by the state with FEMA is not to be considered a precedent for any future disaster
funding.
Sec. 4. [EFFECTIVE DATE.]
This article is effective the day after its final enactment.
