Grant for Legislatively-named Municipality FY19: Updated November 2018 21 Invasive Species Prevention Grantees and subcontractors must follow Minnesota DNR’s Operational Order 113, which requires preventing or limiting the introduction, establishment and spread of invasive species during activities on public waters and DNR-administered lands. This applies to all activities performed on all lands under this grant agreement and is not limited to lands under DNR control or public waters. Operational Order 113 is incorporated into this contract by reference. Duties are listed in Op Order 113 under Sections II and III (p. 5-8). The grantee shall prevent invasive species from entering into or spreading within a project site by cleaning equipment and clothing prior to arriving at the project site. If the equipment or clothing arrives at the project site with soil, aggregate material, mulch, vegetation (including seeds) or animals, it shall be cleaned by Grantee furnished tool or equipment (brush/broom, compressed air or pressure washer) at the staging area. The Grantee or subcontractor shall dispose of material cleaned from equipment and clothing at a location determined by the Grantee or their representative. If the material cannot be disposed of onsite, secure material prior to transport (sealed container, covered truck, or wrap with tarp) and legally dispose of offsite. 22 Conflict of Interest It is the policy of the State to work to deliberately avoid actual, potential and perceived conflict of interests related to grant making at both the individual and organizational levels. A conflict of interest (actual, potential, or perceived) occurs when a person has actual or apparent duty or loyalty to more than one organization and the competing duties or loyalties may result in actions which are adverse to one or both parties. A conflict of interest exists even if no unethical, improper, or illegal act results from it. The Grantee, by signing this contract with the State, certifies it has read and understands the Office of Grants Management Conflict of Interest Policy 08-01, will maintain an adequate Conflict of Interest Policy and, throughout the term of the contract, monitor and report any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest to the State’s Authorized Representative. 23 Minnesota Historical Sites Act and Minnesota Field Archaeology Act For projects involving land acquisition and/or construction, the State Historic Preservation Office must review the project to determine if the site is a potential location for historical or archeological findings. If the State Historic Preservation Office determines that a survey is required, the survey would need to be completed prior to any site disturbance for development projects and prior to the final reimbursement of the grant funds for acquisition projects. 24 Land Retention and Deed Restriction 24.1 Land Retention Any lands acquired or developed with assistance from the Outdoor Recreation grant program must be retained solely for public outdoor recreation use. The lands subject to this contract are shown in Attachment B – Boundary Map which is attached and incorporated into this contract. No other use can be made of these lands without prior written approval of the State and the Department of Interior. The State will consider requests to convert these lands to other uses only if all practical alternatives have been evaluated and rejected on a sound basis and replacement lands of equal or greater fair market value and reasonably equivalent usefulness are acquired and dedicated to public outdoor recreation use. 24.2 Deed Restriction The Grantee shall have the following condition recorded with the deed to all lands within the park as described in Attachment B – Boundary Map and submit an attested copy of the deed and the condition to the State:
