Minnetonka fire station bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $5.3 million from state bond proceeds to fund the demolition and reconstruction of Minnetonka's Fire Station #2 in the city's northeast quadrant. The funds cover new construction, equipment, and specific upgrades needed for 24-hour operations - including housing, decontamination, gear storage, and training space. The state will issue bonds up to $5.3 million to cover this cost, following standard bond procedures under Minnesota law. The project directly affects the city of Minnetonka and its fire department operations. The bill is currently in early legislative stages, having been introduced on February 17, 2026.
