The bill proposes an appropriation of $4,200,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Public Facilities Authority for a grant to the city of Eveleth. This funding is designated for the design, construction, and equipping of filtration improvements, as well as the rehabilitation and replacement of aging infrastructure at the city's wastewater treatment facility. The goal of these improvements is to ensure compliance with regulations concerning phosphorus and mercury levels in the wastewater.
To facilitate this appropriation, the bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to the amount of $4,200,000. The sale and issuance of these bonds will be conducted in accordance with the relevant Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution. The provisions of this bill will take effect the day following its final enactment.
