Bill > SF834

This bill authorizes a $21,208,000 state bond appropriation for capital improvements to the Lakewood water treatment plant in Duluth, Minnesota. The funding will be used to support critical infrastructure upgrades, including rehabilitation of the granular infiltration system, roof repair, water reservoir improvements, and pump station enhancements. The bill directs the commissioner of management and budget to sell state bonds to finance these improvements, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The proposed improvements aim to support ongoing operations of the water treatment facility and ensure its continued functionality. The bonds will be issued up to the specified amount, with the appropriation becoming effective immediately after the bill's final enactment. This type of legislative action is typical for funding major municipal infrastructure projects that require significant capital investment beyond the local government's immediate resources.
