The bill appropriates $21,208,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Public Facilities Authority for a grant to the city of Duluth. This funding is designated for the design and construction of capital improvements at the Lakewood water treatment plant, which includes the rehabilitation of the granular infiltration system, roof repairs, and enhancements to water reservoirs and pump stations to support ongoing operations.
Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the same amount to finance these improvements, following the procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
