Bill > SF991

This bill provides a specific appropriation of $29,861,000 from state bond proceeds to help the city of Cold Spring improve its wastewater treatment facility. The funding will support the design, construction, and equipment upgrades of the facility, with key improvements including replacing the existing filter process with an expanded biological nutrient removal activated sludge process and enhancing biosolids treatment and management infrastructure. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the appropriated amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The purpose of this legislation is to provide critical financial support for modernizing and improving the city's wastewater treatment capabilities, which will likely enhance environmental performance and infrastructure resilience. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, allowing the city to proceed with its planned facility improvements.
