AI Generated Summary

This bill proposes the appropriation of $20 million from bond proceeds to the Metropolitan Council for grants to cities within the metropolitan area of Minnesota. The grants are intended to fund capital improvements in municipal wastewater collection systems, helping reduce inflow and infiltration into the Metropolitan Council’s sanitary sewer disposal system.

Cities eligible for these grants must be identified by the council as contributing excessive inflow and infiltration or have a flow rate within 20% of their allowable limit. The grants will cover up to 50% of project costs. The council will award grants based on city applications that outline eligible costs and construction timelines.

To fund this appropriation, the bill authorizes the sale and issuance of $20 million in state bonds, subject to existing Minnesota statutes and constitutional provisions regarding bond sales.
