473.315 GRANTS FOR RECREATION OPEN SPACE.
Subdivision 1. To metro local governments. The Metropolitan Council with the advice
of the commission may make grants, from any funds available to it for recreation open space
purposes, to any municipality, park district or county located wholly or partially within the
metropolitan area to cover the cost, or any portion of the cost, of acquiring or developing regional
recreation open space in accordance with the policy plan; and all such agencies may enter into
contracts for this purpose or rights or interests therein. The cost of acquisition shall include any
payments required for relocation pursuant to sections 117.50 to 117.56.
Subd. 2. Immediate grants. In order to avoid further delays in acquisition and development
of regional recreational open spaces heretofore identified by the council and within existing
metropolitan development guidelines, the Metropolitan Council is authorized to immediately
make grants to acquire or develop such areas. The existing development guide sections on
regional recreation open space shall continue in force and effect and shall constitute the policy
plan until the adoption of revisions or modifications pursuant to section 473.147.
