Bill > SF517

This bill appropriates $7 million in state bond funds to the Public Facilities Authority for a grant to the Voyageurs National Park Clean Water Joint Powers Board to develop wastewater infrastructure in the unorganized area of Ash River in St. Louis County. Specifically, the funds will be used to predesign, design, and construct a wastewater collection and treatment system in this rural area. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds to provide the funding, and exempts this appropriation from certain standard bonding requirements. The bonds will be issued according to existing state statutes and constitutional provisions governing state bond issuance. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, providing a relatively quick path to funding these important wastewater infrastructure improvements in a rural, unorganized part of St. Louis County.
