Cologne wastewater treatment facility improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill authorizes Minnesota to issue up to $10 million in state bonds to fund specific upgrades at Cologne's wastewater treatment facility. The funds will be granted to the city of Cologne for designing, constructing, and equipping improvements including a pretreatment system, new aeration basins, clarifiers, filters, and additional biosolids storage. The project directly affects the city of Cologne and its wastewater infrastructure, with the state covering costs through bond proceeds rather than general funds. The bond sale mechanism follows standard state procedures for capital investment projects.
