This bill modifies the composition of the North Koochiching sanitary sewer board by amending several sections of Laws 1981, chapter 291. Key changes include the reduction of board members from International Falls from four to three, the addition of two members from the East Koochiching county sewer district, and the introduction of an at-large member appointed by the board. The bill also repeals a previous provision regarding the composition of the board and clarifies that the board will adopt comprehensive plans for wastewater management while considering the impact on local resources and land use.
Additionally, the bill updates the definition of "Municipality" to exclude South International Falls and removes references to the Papermakers sewer district. It specifies that the act applies to Koochiching County and the city of International Falls, and it establishes that the act will take effect following compliance with local approval requirements. The repeal of the previous section and the new provisions aim to streamline the governance of the sanitary sewer board and enhance its operational efficiency.
