Local senator signs on as co-author of Mahnomen Health Center bonding bill
Summary
Council members reported that State Senator Steve Green agreed to co-author SF 895, a bonding bill that would appropriate funds for a new Mahnomen hospital; council noted this as an important step for the local bonding effort.
During council reports, members noted that State Senator Steve Green had agreed to sign on as a co-author of a state bonding bill (filed as S.F. 895) that would appropriate funds toward construction of a new Mahnomen Health Center facility.
Administrator Taylor Guenther described Sen. Green’s co-sponsorship as “a huge step” for the hospital bonding effort, noting that local author support has been absent in recent years when the hospital bill had been part of larger omnibus bonding legislation. The meeting packet included a copy of S.F. 895 (as introduced) which lists an appropriation up to $40,000,000 to the Mahnomen Health Center Joint Powers Board for a new facility; the transcript records the council’s acknowledgement of the development but no formal council action beyond noting the update.
No council motion or financial commitment was recorded at this meeting; the update was presented as information on ongoing advocacy and legislative efforts.
