Example Letter to MMB Requesting Approval of a Waiver (Put on City Letterhead) _________________, 2020 Commissioner of Minnesota Management and Budget c/o Roger Behrens via email roger.behrens@state.mn.us Minnesota Management and Budget 400 Centennial Office Building 658 Cedar Street St. Paul, MN 55155 RE: Real Property Declaration Waiver Request - _______________ Project MPFA-SPAP-G-___________ [insert project number assigned by MPFA] Dear Commissioner: Through the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority (“PFA”), the City of ___________________ has been awarded a Special Appropriation from the 2017 Minnesota Legislature for a project within its jurisdiction. The project is described as follows: [insert description) Projects funded in whole or in part with State bond proceeds, so the City must comply with the requirements applicable to Real Property Declarations set forth in Section 7.02 of Minnesota Management and Budget’s (MMB’s) Fourth Order Amending Order of Commissioner of Finance dated July 30, 2012 (the “Commissioner’s Order”). [use one of the following two paragraphs:] [if the entire project is eligible for a waiver] This letter constitutes the City’s written request for a waiver of the Declaration requirement because the entire project lies within roads, highways or utility or transit corridors, easements or rights of way, and the recording of the Declaration against such property would be unduly onerous or impracticable. I understand that the City will have to sign a Waiver Certification that the property improved by the funding described above is State bond financed property and cannot be sold, encumbered or otherwise disposed of without the approval of the Commissioner of MMB. [if only a portion of the project is eligible for a waiver] This letter constitutes the City’s written request for a waiver of the Declaration requirement for the portion of the project within roads, highways or utility or transit corridors, easements or rights of way, where the recording of the Declaration against such property would be unduly onerous or impracticable. I understand that the City will have to sign a Waiver Certification that the property subject to the waiver is State bond financed property and cannot be sold, encumbered or otherwise disposed of without the approval of the Commissioner of MMB. I also understand that the City will be required to record a real property Declaration for the remaining parcel(s) of land in the project that is/are not eligible for the waiver, stating that such parcel(s) is/are State bond financed property and cannot be sold, encumbered or otherwise disposed of without the approval of the Commissioner of MMB.
