Bill > SF212

This bill provides $13 million in state bond funding for the city of South St. Paul to acquire property, predesign, design, and construct a new public works facility. The legislation authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes sections 16A.631 to 16A.675 and in accordance with the Minnesota Constitution. The bonds will be issued from the state bond proceeds fund, with the funds specifically designated as a grant to the city through the commissioner of employment and economic development. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, enabling the city to proceed with its plans for a new public works facility. This type of legislative action is common for supporting local infrastructure improvements, with the state providing financial assistance to help municipalities upgrade or replace critical public facilities.
