<a id="pl.6.28"></a><var>6.28</var>purpose at the present market value as determined by the county board, or (2) authorize <br/>
<a id="pl.6.29"></a><var>6.29</var>the proper officers to convey the land, or the part of the land not required for an authorized <br/>
<a id="pl.6.30"></a><var>6.30</var>public use, to the state of Minnesota in trust for the taxing districts. If the governing body <br/>
<a id="pl.6.31"></a><var>6.31</var>purchases the property under clause (1), the commissioner of revenue shall, upon proper <br/>
<a id="pl.6.32"></a><var>6.32</var>application submitted by the county auditor, convey the property on behalf of the state by <br/>
<a id="pl.6.33"></a><var>6.33</var>quit claim deed to the subdivision free of a use restriction and the possibility of reversion <br/>
<a id="pl.6.34"></a><var>6.34</var>or defeasement. If the governing body decides to reconvey the property to the state under <br/>

<a id="pl.7.1"></a><var>7.1</var>is subject to the approval of the commissioner and its form must be approved by the <br/>
<a id="pl.7.2"></a><var>7.2</var>attorney general. For 15 years from the date of the conveyance, there is no failure to put <br/>
<a id="pl.7.3"></a><var>7.3</var>the land to the authorized public use and no abandonment of that use if a formal plan of <br/>
<a id="pl.7.4"></a><var>7.4</var>the governmental subdivision, including, but not limited to, a comprehensive plan or land <br/>
<a id="pl.7.5"></a><var>7.5</var>use plan, shows an intended future use of the land for the authorized public use.<br/>
<a id="pl.7.6"></a><var>7.6</var>(b) Property held by a governmental subdivision of the state under a conditional use <br/>
<a id="pl.7.7"></a><var>7.7</var>deed executed under this section by the commissioner of revenue on or after January 1, <br/>
<a id="pl.7.8"></a><var>7.8</var>2007, may be acquired by that governmental subdivision after 15 years from the date <br/>
<a id="pl.7.9"></a><var>7.9</var>of the conveyance if the commissioner determines upon written application from the <br/>
<a id="pl.7.10"></a><var>7.10</var>subdivision that the subdivision has in fact put the property to the authorized public use for <br/>
<a id="pl.7.11"></a><var>7.11</var>which it was conveyed, and the subdivision has made a finding that it has no current plans <br/>
<a id="pl.7.12"></a><var>7.12</var>to change the use of the lands. Prior to conveying the property, the commissioner shall <br/>
<a id="pl.7.13"></a><var>7.13</var>inquire whether the county board where the land is located objects to a conveyance of the <br/>
<a id="pl.7.14"></a><var>7.14</var>property to the subdivision without conditions and without further act by or obligation of <br/>
<a id="pl.7.15"></a><var>7.15</var>the subdivision. If the county does not object within 60 days, and the commissioner makes <br/>
<a id="pl.7.16"></a><var>7.16</var>a favorable determination, the commissioner shall issue a quit claim deed on behalf of <br/>
<a id="pl.7.17"></a><var>7.17</var>the state unconditionally conveying the property to the governmental subdivision. For <br/>
<a id="pl.7.18"></a><var>7.18</var>purposes of this paragraph, demonstration of an intended future use for the authorized <br/>
<a id="pl.7.19"></a><var>7.19</var>public use in a formal plan of the governmental subdivision does not constitute use for <br/>
<a id="pl.7.20"></a><var>7.20</var>that authorized public use.<br/>
