Bill > HF2802

This bill provides $5,700,000 in state funding to the city of Tonka Bay for public infrastructure improvements, specifically targeting the replacement of aging municipal infrastructure in the Lakeview and Wildhurst neighborhoods. The appropriation will cover the design, construction, and equipment costs for upgrading water distribution, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer systems, as well as street reconstruction. To fund these improvements, the commissioner of management and budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to the $5,700,000 amount, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The bill becomes effective immediately after its final enactment, allowing the city to proceed with its critical infrastructure renewal project. This type of targeted infrastructure investment is common in Minnesota, where state bonds are used to help local municipalities improve and maintain essential public infrastructure that might otherwise be financially challenging for smaller cities to undertake.
