Bill > SF71

This bill appropriates $8,900,000 from state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority for a grant to the city of Waseca specifically for sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements. The funding will support designing and constructing upgrades to reduce inflow and infiltration issues in the city's sewer system, including reconstructing the Nelson Lift Station. The appropriation also covers related infrastructure improvements like street and sidewalk reconstruction within the project areas, and notably does not require a matching contribution from the city. The commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $8,900,000 to fund these improvements, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, providing an immediate mechanism for Waseca to address its sanitary sewer infrastructure needs.
