     63-34-19.   Outdoor recreation facilities -- Availability of funds for shares of state or political subdivision project costs required.
     The executive director of natural resources shall make no commitment or enter into any agreement pursuant to an exercise of authority under this act and neither shall the governor approve the same until it has determined that sufficient funds are available to it for meeting the state's share, if any, of project costs. It is the legislative intent that, to such extent as may be necessary to assure the proper operation and maintenance of areas and facilities acquired or developed pursuant to any program participated in by this state under authority of this act, such areas and facilities shall be publicly maintained for outdoor recreation purposes. The executive director of natural resources may enter into and administer agreements with the United States or any appropriate agency thereof with the approval of the governor for planning, acquisition, and development projects involving participating federal-aid funds on behalf of any political subdivision or subdivisions of this state, if such political subdivision or subdivisions give necessary assurance to the executive director of natural resources that they have available sufficient funds to meet their shares, if any, of the cost of the project and that the acquired or developed areas will be operated and maintained at the expense of such political subdivision or subdivisions for public outdoor recreation use.
