Bill > SF3381

This bill appropriates $600,000 from state bond proceeds to the Public Facilities Authority specifically for water tower improvements in the city of East Grand Forks, Minnesota. The funding will support preliminary engineering and construction work for upgrades to the city's south water tower. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $600,000 to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. Notably, this appropriation is exempt from certain standard bond requirement procedures, which may expedite the funding process. The bill becomes effective immediately after it is enacted, allowing the city to proceed quickly with its water infrastructure improvements. This type of legislation is common for local infrastructure projects where state-level financial support can help municipalities upgrade critical public infrastructure like water storage facilities.
