Grant for Legislatively-named Municipality FY19: Updated November 2018 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 All land developed by this contract must be retained and operated for outdoor recreation for a period of twenty years beginning on the contract expiration date. All land acquired by this contract must be retained and operated for outdoor recreation in perpetuity and a condition of this requirement must be recorded with the deed using language provided in the grant contract. No other use can be made of these lands without prior written approval of the State. 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 acquired by this contract and submit an attested copy of the deed and the condition to the State: In order to comply with the Department of Natural Resources Trail Project Contract C001-19-3B, the City of Orono does hereby impose the following restrictions on the property: 1. The property shall be permanently managed and maintained for public outdoor recreation use. 2. The Grantee shall not at any time convert any portion of the land to uses other than public outdoor recreation use without the prior written approval of the State acting through its commissioner of natural resources. 25 Conservation Corps Minnesota The Grantee must give consideration to contracting with Conservation Corps Minnesota for contract restoration and enhancement services. 26 Pollinator Best Management Practices Habitat restorations and enhancements conducted on DNR lands and prairie restorations on state lands
