Small city municipal facility improvement grant funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 418 creates a grant program for small Minnesota cities with populations under 2,000 that maintain fire service contracts with other municipalities and handle at least 50 annual fire/rescue calls. The grants fund the design, construction, and equipment of shared facilities housing city services (including firefighting) in one building, or the installation of air handling systems to address vehicle exhaust in fire dispatch buildings. The state will appropriate money from bond proceeds to fund these grants, authorizing the sale of state bonds to cover costs. This bill directly affects eligible small cities seeking to improve municipal facility infrastructure through targeted funding.
