  • The department of regulatory services shall maintain a revolving fund to be known as the housing maintenance code revolving repair fund for tenant remedies actions (hereinafter referred to as "the fund"). The fund may be drawn upon by administrators appointed by a court pursuant to Minnesota Statute Section 504B.425(d) and in the manner prescribed by Minnesota Statute Section 504B.445, Subd. 4(5). Monies to perform such repairs, including approved administrative expenses and fees, shall come from the fund. All costs and fees incurred by the court-appointed administrator, including appropriate interest, shall be recovered from the property owner. If the director of regulatory services determines it is appropriate, disbursements from the fund may be recovered through the special property tax assessment process. The assessment, interest, and any penalties shall be collected in the same manner as are special assessments made for other purposes under state statute or municipal charter. Repairs made pursuant to this section must comply with applicable state law and the Minneapolis Code of Ordinances in such a manner as to achieve minimum compliance with the housing maintenance code. Disbursements from the fund shall not be subject to the provisions and requirements of the procurement process of the city and shall be made on a case by case basis at the discretion of the director of regulatory services.
