AI Generated Summary

Purpose of the Bill

The aim of this bill is to modify the composition and structure of certain sanitary sewer boards in Minnesota, particularly in the North Koochiching region, as well as address similar changes in the Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District.

Main Provisions

  • Modification of Board Composition: The bill adjusts the number of members on the North Koochiching sanitary sewer board, specifying how many members each participating governmental unit can appoint. For example, International Falls will adjust appointments from four to three members.
  • Inclusion of Municipalities: It defines the municipalities that make up the North Koochiching area sanitary district, including International Falls, South International Falls, Ranier, and specific sewer districts like East Koochiching and Papermakers.
  • Certification and Election Process: The bill outlines how members are selected, certified, and their oaths of office filed.
  • Comprehensive Plan Requirements: The board is tasked with adopting and updating a comprehensive plan for waste water treatment and disposal that protects resources such as drinking water supplies.
  • Crane Lake Changes: The Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District may reduce its board of managers from five to three members upon approval by related governing bodies. This section also details how vacancies will be managed and how newly elected board members’ terms will be organized to ensure staggered expirations.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

  • Repeal of Certain Provisions: The bill repeals a section of the existing law (Laws 1981 chapter 291 section 1 subdivision 3) which presumably pertained to prior board compositions or operations that are being revised.
  • Fixed Membership Adjustments: Adjustments to the number of board members from various municipalities and districts reflect a restructuring intended to streamline operations or respond to changes in municipal involvement.
  • Board Member Term Management: Particularly for the Crane Lake district, new provisions ensure that no two board members' terms expire in the same year, aiding in continuity of governance.
