§ 193.38. CITY FACILITIES SHARED WITH ARMORIES
A home rule charter or statutory city in which an armory has been or may be constructed may, by resolution of its governing body and with the concurrence of the Minnesota State Armory Building Commission, provide for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of city owned facilities related to the armory. The city may acquire property for the purposes of this section pursuant to chapter 117. General obligation bonds may be issued pursuant to chapter 475 except as provided in this section for the acquisition, construction, or improvement in an amount that does not exceed the value of the commission's investment in the armory property. Before issuance of bonds, the city shall give three weeks' published notice. If a number of voters in the city equal to ten percent of those who voted for candidates for governor at the last gubernatorial election present a petition within six weeks of the first published notice to the city clerk requesting that the matter be submitted to popular vote, it shall be submitted at the next regular election.
If a majority of those voting on the question approve it or if no petition is presented within the prescribed time, the city may issue the bonds and levy a tax for the purpose of this section in accordance with section 475.61. The city and the Minnesota State Armory Building Commission may contract for the purpose of allocating the use and occupancy of the joint facility. The city may enter into other leases and contracts concerning the use and occupancy of the city owned portion of the joint facility with any other unit of government or political subdivision, their agencies, or any nonprofit corporation.
