Purpose
To allocate funding through state bonds to support a skate park project in Minneapolis. Specifically, the bill would provide a grant for the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to design and construct a skate park at Windom Northeast Park, using money from the state’s bond proceeds fund, and authorize the sale of bonds to finance the appropriation.
Main Provisions
- Subd. 1 – Appropriation: $2,000,000 from the bond proceeds fund is appropriated to the commissioner of employment and economic development. This money is to be given as a grant to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to design and construct a skate park at Windom Northeast Park in Minneapolis.
- Subd. 2 – Bond Sale: The commissioner of management and budget must sell and issue bonds of up to $2,000,000 to fund the appropriation. The bond sale and terms must follow Minnesota Statutes sections 16A.631 to 16A.675 and the Minnesota Constitution, Article XI, sections 4 to 7.
- Fiscal/Financing Implications: The project is funded through the bond proceeds fund, meaning the state would issue bonds to raise the money for the grant.
