The bill appropriates $8,900,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Public Facilities Authority for the city of Waseca to improve its sanitary sewer infrastructure. This funding will be used for the design, construction, and engineering related to the improvements and replacement of the sanitary sewer system, specifically aimed at reducing inflow and infiltration and increasing conveyance capacity. The project includes the reconstruction of the Nelson Lift Station and associated infrastructure such as streets, roadways, and sidewalks. Notably, this appropriation does not require a nonstate match.
To finance this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $8,900,000, following the guidelines set forth in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The effective date of this section will be the day following its final enactment.
