AI Generated Summary

Senate File No. 80 is a legislative bill introduced in Minnesota that proposes funding for the extension and improvement of the sanitary sewer system in Chisago County. The bill outlines financial allocations for two specific projects:

  1. Extension of Shorewood Park Sanitary Sewer System to Rush Lake: Money will be provided from the state's bond proceeds fund to design and construct a sewage extension to serve 20 homes around Rush Lake. This project's funding isn't available until other non-state financial resources are secured to cover the remaining costs.

  2. Construction of a Sewage Treatment Pond in Chisago County: This project also involves financial support from the state's bond proceeds fund. It covers acquiring property and the necessary construction tasks to build and equip a new sewage treatment pond. Just like the first project, these funds will be accessible only once sufficient non-state resources are committed.

To finance these initiatives, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of state bonds, and the amount of those bonds will be determined by specific statutes and constitutional guidelines set forth in Minnesota's legal framework.

In essence, this bill aims to improve sanitation and wastewater treatment in parts of Chisago County by extending the existing sanitary sewer infrastructure and adding new treatment facilities, with financial backing primarily through state bonds, dependent upon securing additional necessary funds from non-state sources.
