Related bill: HF460

AI Generated Summary

Purpose

Provide funding for infrastructure improvements in Sibley County, specifically for the Sibley County StateAid Highway 21 project. The bill authorizes a grant to Sibley County to design and construct improvements to sanitary sewer, water main, storm system infrastructure, and road improvements connected to the project. It also authorizes the sale of state bonds to finance this appropriation.

Main Provisions

  • Appropriation: $1,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund is appropriated to the commissioner of transportation to grant to Sibley County. The grant is for designing and constructing improvements to sanitary sewer, water main, storm system infrastructure, and road improvements related to the Sibley County StateAid Highway 21 project.
  • Bond Sale: The commissioner of management and budget shall sell and issue bonds of the state up to $1,000,000 to fund the appropriation, under the terms and effects described by Minnesota statutes sections 16A.631 to 16A.675 and by the Minnesota Constitution Article XI sections 4 to 7.

Funding Source and Financing

  • Source: Bond proceeds fund.
  • Financing: Debt financing through state bonds up to $1,000,000, issued to support the local infrastructure project.

Legal Authority and Compliance

  • Bond issuance and use of funds must comply with Minnesota statutes 16A.631 to 16A.675 and the Minnesota Constitution Article XI, sections 4–7.

Implementation and Local Impact

  • Implementation: The grant to Sibley County funds design and construction activities for sanitation and utility upgrades plus road work tied to the StateAid Highway 21 project.
  • Local impact: Improves utilities (sanitary sewer, water main, storm system) and transportation infrastructure in connection with the county’s highway project, potentially enhancing local services and travel.

Notable Considerations

  • This is a targeted capital investment of $1,000,000 funded by state bonds, dedicated to a specific county project, and contingent on bond issuance procedures prescribed by state law.
