The bill appropriates $8,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Pollution Control Agency for a grant to the city of Andover. This funding is designated for the design and construction of new municipal water mains in the Red Oaks neighborhood, where contamination has been detected in private drinking water wells. This initiative is specifically referred to as Red Oaks phase II.
To facilitate this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $8,000,000. The sale and issuance of these bonds will be conducted in accordance with existing Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions. The bill will take effect the day after it is enacted.
