2005 Minnesota Statutes - 85.44 — Cross-country ski trail grant-in-aid program.

     85.44 Cross-country ski trail grant-in-aid program. 


    The commissioner shall establish a grant-in-aid program for 
 local units of government and special park districts for the 
 acquisition, development, and maintenance of cross-country ski 
 trails.  Grants shall be available for acquisition of trail 
 easements but may not be used to acquire any lands in fee 
 title.  Local units of government and special park districts 
 applying for and receiving grants under this section shall be 
 considered to have cross-country ski trails for one year 
 following the expiration of their last grant.  The department 
 shall reimburse all public sponsors of grants-in-aid 
 cross-country ski trails based upon criteria established by the 
 department.  Prior to the use of any reimbursement criteria, a 
 certain proportion of the revenues shall be allocated on the 
 basis of user fee sales location.
