No stay shall be granted by the court without notice to the parties and opportunity to be heard. Any party shall have the right to secure from the court in which an appeal of an order of the commission is sought an order suspending or staying the operation of an order of the commission, pending an appeal of the order, but no commission order relating to rates or rules shall be stayed or suspended absent a finding that great or irreparable damage would otherwise result to the party seeking the stay or suspension, and any order staying or suspending a commission order shall specify the nature of the damage.

Minn. Stat. § 473.75 — MN Code / Part 473_473J / Chapter 473 / Section 473.75
§ 473.75 PURPOSE.
Status: in_force

The purpose of sections 473.75 to 473.763 is to provide for the construction, financing, and long-term use of a ballpark primarily as a venue for major league baseball. It is found and declared that the expenditure of public money for this purpose is necessary and serves a public purpose, and that property acquired by the county for the construction of the ballpark and related public infrastructure is acquired for a public use or public purpose under chapter 117. It is further found and declared that any provision in a lease or use agreement with a major league team, that requires the team to play its home games in a publicly funded ballpark for the duration of the lease or use agreement, serves a unique public purpose for which the remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief are essential to its enforcement. It is further found and declared that government assistance to facilitate the presence of major league baseball provides to the state of Minnesota and its citizens highly valued intangible benefits that are virtually impossible to quantify and, therefore, not recoverable even if the government receives monetary damages in the event of a team's breach of contract. Minnesota courts are, therefore, charged with protecting those benefits through the use of specific performance and injunctive relief as provided herein and in the lease and use agreements.

(1) the general investment policy of the insurer containing policies, procedures, and controls covering all aspects of the investing function;

(2) quantified goals and objectives regarding the composition of classes of investments, including maximum internal limits;

(3) periodic evaluation of the investment portfolio as to its risk and reward characteristics.

For purposes of this section, "modern portfolio theory" means the collection of models and applications that prescribe the maximization of expected returns for a given level of aggregate risk as the primary objective of investment portfolio management;

(4) professional standards for the individuals making day-to-day investment decisions to ensure that investments are managed in an ethical and capable manner;

(5) the types of investments to be made and those to be avoided, based on their risk and reward characteristics and the insurer's level of experience with the investments;

(6) the relationship of classes of investments to the insurer's insurance products and liabilities;

(7) the manner in which the insurer intends to implement section 60L.05 ; and

(8) the level of risk, based on quantitative measures, appropriate for the insurer given the level of capitalization and expertise available to the insurer.
