Master Joint Powers Agreements, Cost Reimbursements, and Work Orders
Master Joint Powers Agreements (MJPAs)
BWSR contracts with local government units such as soil and water conservation districts to implement Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) easement programs. To do this, BWSR and each SWCD complete a Master Joint Powers Agreement. An MJPA is an overarching agreement that allows an SWCD to enter into work order contracts for their services and request reimbursement for costs associated with RIM easements. The current MJPAs will be in place until January 2029.
