Summary

The district packet asks for increased LTFM funding and expanded allowable uses and lists carry-over capital projects for bonding consideration including Quentin Avenue/bridges, Merriam Junction Trail segments and an Innovation Center.

The legislative materials submitted by Burnsville-Eagan-Savage School District 191 ask state lawmakers to expand the Long-Term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) program, raise funding caps and broaden allowable uses to address aging infrastructure. The packet states proposals including "Allowing LTFM funds to be used for a wider category" and requests increases to LTFM caps.

The packet also lists specific capital and transportation projects as carry-over or proposed bonding priorities for 2025, including improvements to Quentin Avenue and bridges in Savage, the Louisville segment of the Merriam Junction Trail, an Innovation Center, and I-35W/County Road 2 interchange development. Several entries note past outcomes (bonding received or not received) for earlier requests.

District materials treat these as requests for state capital funding; the packet summarizes history and argues for inclusion in the 2025 bonding agenda but records no final municipal or legislative action in the meeting materials.
