House File No. 1058 is a legislative bill that proposes changes to the management and operational structure of the North Koochiching Area Sanitary Sewer Board in Minnesota. The bill focuses on altering the composition of the board and revising certain sections of the Laws of 1981, chapter 291, as previously amended in 1982. Here are the key changes outlined in the bill:

  1. Definition of Municipality: The definition is expanded within the sewer district to include specific cities and towns such as International Falls, South International Falls, and Ranier.

  2. District Description: It clarifies the components of the North Koochiching Area Sanitary District, including municipalities and specific sewer districts. It also specifies conditions that could change the coverage of the district after 1985.

  3. Board Composition: Adjustments are made to how board members are selected, including specifying the representation from various areas (International Falls, South International Falls, East Koochiching County Sewer District, Papermakers Sewer District, Ranier) and introducing an at-large board member. There are also guidelines on how these members are appointed and their terms.

  4. Administrative Details: The bill details the administrative process for board members, including certificates of selection, oaths of office, and filing requirements.

  5. Board’s Planning Responsibilities: The board is mandated to adopt a comprehensive plan for the management of wastewater, which respects environmental considerations and the suitability of land and water resources. The plan must specify no wastewater treatment facilities are constructed that would compromise the drinking water supply.

  6. Applicability: The changes in this bill apply specifically to Koochiching County and the mentioned cities.

  7. Repeal of Existing Legislation: The bill repeals certain parts of the previously existing laws, specifically aiming to update or void outdated provisions.

This bill, therefore, aims to streamline and update the governance and operational framework of the North Koochiching Area Sanitary District to enhance its effectiveness in managing wastewater treatment and environmental conservation in the specified regions.
