Section 471A.01 Public Purpose Findings - Minnesota Statutes

471A.01 PUBLIC PURPOSE FINDINGS.

The legislature finds that the privatization of facilities for the prevention, control, and abatement of water pollution, and the furnishing of potable water provides municipalities an opportunity under appropriate circumstances to provide those capital intensive public services in a manner that will speed construction and is less costly and more efficient than the furnishing of those services through facilities exclusively owned and operated by municipalities. The legislature further finds that other law may create unnecessary and costly obstacles to the privatization of those capital intensive public services and that a comprehensive act is required to permit municipalities to enter into appropriate contractual arrangements with private parties to facilitate the privatization of those capital intensive public services.
