An act relating to natural resources; providing for
the establishment of heritage forest areas in
specified counties; modifying timber provisions;
requiring a report on the process for public
involvement in timber harvest plans; requiring certain
rule changes for public use of recreational areas;
amending Minnesota Statutes 1998, sections 90.121;
90.14; 90.151, subdivisions 1 and 4; 90.161,
subdivisions 1 and 2; 90.162; 90.173; 90.181; 90.201,
subdivision 2, and by adding a subdivision; 90.252;
90.281; 97A.135, subdivision 2a; and 477A.11,
subdivisions 3 and 4; proposing coding for new law in
Minnesota Statutes, chapters 90; and 97A.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA:
Section 1. [90.042] [PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS.]
By July 1 each year, the commissioner must provide a
complete description of the public involvement process for
timber harvest plans to the chairs of the legislative committees
with jurisdiction over natural resources policy and finance.
The process must provide public notice and public input in
affected areas of proposed annual harvest plans.
Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.121, is
amended to read:
90.121 [INTERMEDIATE AUCTION SALES; MAXIMUM LOTS OF 3,000
CORDS.]
The commissioner may sell the timber on any tract of state
land in lots not exceeding 3,000 cords in volume, in the same
manner as timber sold at public auction under section 90.101,
and related laws, subject to the following special exceptions
and limitations:
(1) sales shall be at the forest office or other public
facility most accessible to potential bidders or close to where
the tract is located;
(2) the commissioner's list describing the tract, quantity
of timber, and appraised price shall be compiled not less than
30 days before the date of sale and a copy of the list posted
not less than 30 days before the date of the sale at the
location designated for the sale;
(3) notice of the sale shall be published once, not less
than one week before the date of the sale;
(4) no bidder may be awarded more than 25 percent of the
total tracts offered at the first round of bidding unless fewer
than four tracts are offered, in which case not more than one
tract shall be awarded to one bidder. Any tract not sold may be
offered for sale for a period of no more than six months for
purchase by persons eligible under this section at the appraised
value;
(5) the bond or deposit required pursuant to section 90.161
or 90.173 shall be given or deposited and approved as to form
and execution by the commissioner before any cutting begins or
not later than 120 days after the date of purchase, whichever is
earlier, provided that the commissioner may extend the time for
furnishing the bond or deposit for not more than 30 additional
days for good cause shown;
(6) in lieu of the placing of the marks M I N on cut
products as prescribed under section 90.151, subdivision 2, all
landings of cut products shall be legibly marked with the name
of the permit holder and the assigned permit number; and
(7) no person may hold more than six permits issued under
this section and no sale may be made to a person holding six
permits which are still in effect or to a person having more
than 20 employees;.
(8) the permit may not exceed three years in duration; and
(9) if all cut timber, equipment, and buildings are not
removed at the end of any 120-day extension period which the
commissioner may grant for removal, the commissioner may grant a
second period of time not to exceed 120 days for the removal of
cut timber, equipment, and buildings upon receipt of a request
by the permit holder for hardship reasons only.
The auction sale procedure set forth in this section
constitutes an additional alternative timber sale procedure
available to the commissioner and is not intended to replace
other authority possessed by the commissioner to sell timber in
lots of 3,000 cords or less.
Sec. 3. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.14, is amended
to read:
90.14 [AUCTION SALE PROCEDURE.]
(a) All state timber shall be offered and sold by the same
unit of measurement as it was appraised. The sale shall be made
to the party who (1) shall bid the highest price for all the
several kinds of timber as advertised, or (2) if unsold at
public auction, to the party who purchases at any sale
authorized under section 90.101, subdivision 1. The
commissioner may refuse to approve any and all bids received and
cancel a sale of state timber for good and sufficient reasons.
(b) The purchaser at any sale of timber shall, immediately
upon the approval of the bid, or, if unsold at public auction,
at the time of purchase at a subsequent sale under section
90.101, subdivision 1, pay to the commissioner 25 15 percent of
the appraised value. In case any purchaser fails to make such
payment, the purchaser shall be liable therefor to the state in
a civil action, and the commissioner may reoffer the timber for
sale as though no bid or sale under section 90.101, subdivision
1, therefor had been made.
(c) In lieu of the scaling of state timber required by this
chapter, a purchaser of state timber may, at the time of the bid
approval and upon payment by the purchaser to the commissioner
of 15 percent of the appraised value, elect in writing on a form
prescribed by the attorney general to purchase a permit based
solely on the appraiser's estimate of the volume of timber
described in the permit, provided that the commissioner has
expressly designated the availability of such option for that
tract on the list of tracts available for sale as required under
section 90.101 or 90.121. A purchaser who elects in writing on
a form prescribed by the attorney general to purchase a permit
based solely on the appraiser's estimate of the volume of timber
described on the permit does not have recourse to the provisions
of section 90.281.
Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.151,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [ISSUANCE; EXPIRATION.] (a) Following
receipt of the down payment for state timber sold at public
auction, the commissioner shall issue a numbered permit to the
purchaser, in a form approved by the attorney general, by the
terms of which the purchaser shall be authorized to enter upon
the land, and to cut and remove the timber therein described,
according to the provisions of this chapter. The permit shall
be correctly dated and executed by the commissioner or agent and
signed by the purchaser.
(b) The permit shall expire no later than five years after
the date of sale as the commissioner shall specify, and the
timber shall be cut within the time specified therein. All cut
timber, equipment, and buildings not removed from the land
within 90 days after expiration of the permit shall become the
property of the state.
(c) The commissioner may grant an additional period of time
not to exceed 120 days for the removal of cut timber, equipment,
and buildings upon receipt of such request by the permit holder
for good and sufficient reasons. The commissioner may grant a
second period of time not to exceed 120 days for the removal of
cut timber, equipment, and buildings upon receipt of a request
by the permit holder for hardship reasons only.
(d) No permit shall be issued to any person other than the
purchaser in whose name the bid was made.
Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.151,
subdivision 4, is amended to read:
Subd. 4. [PERMIT TERMS.] The permit shall provide that all
timber sold or designated for cutting shall be cut without
damage to other timber; that the permit holder shall remove all
timber authorized to be cut under the permit; that timber sold
by board measure but later determined by the commissioner not to
be convertible into board measure shall be paid for by the piece
or cord or other unit of measure according to the size, species,
or value, as may be determined by the commissioner; that all
timber products, except as specified by the commissioner, shall
be scaled and the final settlement for the timber cut shall be
made on this scale; and that the permit holder shall pay to the
state the permit price for all timber authorized to be cut,
including timber not cut.
Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.161,
subdivision 1, is amended to read:
Subdivision 1. [BOND REQUIRED.] Except as otherwise
provided by law, the purchaser of any state timber, before any
timber permit shall become effective for any purpose,
shall within 120 days from the date of purchase give a good and
valid bond to the state of Minnesota equal to the value of all
timber covered or to be covered by the permit, as shown by the
sale price bid and the appraisal report as to quantity, less the
amount of any payment pursuant to section 90.14. The bond shall
be conditioned upon the faithful performance by the purchaser
and successors in interest of all terms and conditions of the
permit and all requirements of law in respect to timber sales.
The bond shall be approved in writing by the commissioner and
filed for record in the commissioner's office. In the
alternative to cash and bond requirements, but upon the same
conditions, a purchaser may post bond for 100 percent of the
purchase price and request refund of the amount of any payment
pursuant to section 90.14. The commissioner may credit the
refund to any other permit held by the same permit holder if the
permit is delinquent as provided in section 90.181, subdivision
2, or may credit the refund to any other permit to which the
permit holder requests that it be credited.
Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.161,
subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. [FAILURE TO BOND.] If bond is not furnished
within 120 days from the date of purchase, no harvesting may
occur and the down payment for timber shall forfeit to the
state, except that the commissioner may grant an extension of
time for good and sufficient reason, provided that any extension
of time shall not exceed 30 days.
Sec. 8. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.162, is
amended to read:
90.162 [ALTERNATIVE TO BOND OR DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS.]
In lieu of the bond or cash deposit required by section
90.161 or 90.173, a purchaser of state timber may, at the time
of the bid approval and upon payment by the purchaser to the
commissioner of 25 15 percent of the appraised value under
section 90.14, elect in writing on a form prescribed by the
attorney general to prepay the purchase price for any designated
cutting block identified on the permit before the date the
purchaser enters upon the land to begin harvesting the timber.
Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.173, is
amended to read:
90.173 [PURCHASER'S OR ASSIGNEE'S CASH DEPOSIT IN LIEU OF
BOND.]
(a) In lieu of filing the bond required by section 90.161
or 90.171, as security for the issuance or assignment of a
timber permit the person required to file the bond may deposit
with the state treasurer cash, a certified check, a cashier's
check, a personal check, a postal, bank, or express money order,
assignable bonds or notes of the United States, or an assignment
of a bank savings account or investment certificate or an
irrevocable bank letter of credit, in the same amount as would
be required for a bond. If securities listed in this section
are deposited, the par value of the securities shall be not less
than the amount required for the timber sale bond, and the
person required to file the timber sale bond shall submit an
agreement authorizing the commissioner to sell or otherwise take
possession of the security in the event of default under the
timber sale. All of the conditions of the timber sale bond
shall equally apply to the deposit with the state treasurer. In
the event of a default the state may take from the deposit the
sum of money to which it is entitled; the remainder, if any,
shall be returned to the person making the deposit and shall
bear interest at the rate determined pursuant to section 549.09
if not returned within 30 days from the date of the default.
Sums of money as may be required by the state treasurer to carry
out the terms and provisions of this section are appropriated
from the general fund to the state treasurer for these
purposes. When cash is deposited for a bond, it shall be
applied to the amount due when a statement is prepared and
transmitted to the permit holder pursuant to section 90.181.
Any balance due to the state shall be shown on the statement and
shall be paid as provided in section 90.181. Any amount of the
deposit in excess of the amount determined to be due pursuant to
section 90.181 shall be returned to the permit holder when a
final statement is transmitted pursuant to that section. All or
part of a cash bond may be withheld from application to an
amount due on a nonfinal statement if it appears that the total
amount due on the permit will exceed the bid price.
(b) If an irrevocable bank letter of credit is provided as
security under paragraph (a), at the written request of the
permittee the state shall annually allow the amount of the bank
letter of credit to be reduced by an amount proportionate to the
value of timber that has been harvested and for which the state
has received payment under the timber permit. The remaining
amount of the bank letter of credit after a reduction under this
paragraph must not be less than the value of the timber
remaining to be harvested under the timber permit.
Sec. 10. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.181, is
amended to read:
90.181 [STATEMENT OF TIMBER CUT.]
Subdivision 1. [PASSAGE OF TITLE TO TIMBER.] (a) The
commissioner shall transmit to the permit holder a statement of
the amount due therefor by the terms of the permit upon
completion of the cutting or at least annually in the case of an
auction permit. Any partial payment received may be applied to
any items on the statement as the commissioner shall determine.
(b) The title to the timber shall not pass from the state
until such the timber has been scaled as required by the permit
and the commissioner has made adequate arrangements for
collecting the payment for the same as will protect the interest
of the state, full payment for the timber has been received, and
all other provisions of the permit have been fully complied with.
Subd. 2. [DEFERRED PAYMENTS.] (a) If the amount of the
statement is not paid within 30 days of the date thereof, it
shall bear interest at the rate determined pursuant to section
549.09 16A.124, except that the purchaser shall not be required
to pay interest that totals $1 or less. If the amount is not
paid within 60 days, the commissioner shall place the account in
the hands of the attorney general who shall proceed to collect
the same. When deemed in the best interests of the state, the
commissioner shall take possession of the timber for which an
amount is due wherever it may be found and sell the same
informally or at public auction after giving reasonable notice.
(b) The proceeds of the sale shall be applied, first, to
the payment of the expenses of seizure and sale; and, second, to
the payment of the amount due for the timber, with interest; and
the surplus, if any, shall belong to the state; and, in case a
sufficient amount is not realized to pay these amounts in full,
the balance shall be collected by the attorney general. Neither
payment of the amount, nor the recovery of judgment therefor,
nor satisfaction of the judgment, nor the seizure and sale of
timber, shall release the sureties on any bond given pursuant to
this chapter, or preclude the state from afterwards claiming
that the timber was cut or removed contrary to law and
recovering damages for the trespass thereby committed, or from
prosecuting the offender criminally.
Sec. 11. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.201,
subdivision 2, is amended to read:
Subd. 2. [REFUNDS ON FINAL BILLING; INTEREST PAYMENT ON
LATE REFUNDS.] The commissioner shall refund to a permit holder
any amount paid on a timber sale which exceeds the value of the
timber cut under that sale as determined on a final statement
transmitted pursuant to section 90.181. The commissioner may
credit a refund to any other permit held by the same permit
holder if the permit is delinquent as provided in section
90.181, subdivision 2, and may credit a refund to any other
permit to which the permit holder requests that it be credited.
Any refund of cash which is due to a permit holder as
determined on a final statement transmitted pursuant to section
90.181 which is not paid to the permit holder within 45 days
after the date of that statement shall bear interest at the rate
determined pursuant to section 549.09 unless the refund is
credited on another permit as provided in this subdivision.
Interest shall be paid from the date of the final statement. No
interest shall be paid in an amount of $50 or less.
Sec. 12. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.201, is
amended by adding a subdivision to read:
Subd. 2a. [PROMPT PAYMENT OF REFUNDS.] Any refund of cash
that is due to a permit holder as determined on a final
statement transmitted pursuant to section 90.181 or a refund of
cash made pursuant to section 90.161, subdivision 1, or 90.173,
paragraph (a), shall be paid to the permit holder according to
section 16A.124 unless the refund is credited on another permit
as provided in this chapter.
Sec. 13. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.252, is
amended to read:
90.252 [CONSUMER SCALE OF STATE TIMBER.]
The commissioner may enter into an agreement with either a
timber sale permittee, or the purchaser of the cut products, or
both, so that the scaling of the cut timber and the collection
of the payment for the same can be consummated by the consumer.
Such an agreement shall provide for a bond or cash in lieu of a
bond and such other safeguards as are necessary to protect the
interests of the state. Such a scaling and payment collection
procedure may be used for any state timber sale, except that in
the case of timber sold under section 90.101, no permittee who
is also the consumer shall both cut and scale the timber sold
unless such scaling is supervised by a state scaler.
Sec. 14. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 90.281, is
amended to read:
90.281 [RESCALES, RECOUNTS AND REESTIMATES.]
(a) Upon complaint of any interested permit holder
questioning the accuracy of any scale, count, or estimate of
timber made by any state appraiser, or at any other time the
commissioner determines in the absence of a complaint, the
commissioner may cause a rescale, recount, or reestimate thereof
to be made jointly by any two or more state appraisers, which
when made shall supersede and for all purposes take the place of
the original scale, count, or estimate, if and only when it the
scale or count varies more than ten percent from the original or
the estimate exceeds the standards established by section 90.045.
(b) As a condition precedent to the making of any such a
rescale, recount, or reestimate upon the complaint of any
person, the commissioner may require such the person to make
available such sum of money as the commissioner deems necessary
for the actual expenses thereof and to forfeit the same to the
state if such the rescale, and recount, or reestimate does not
vary more than ten percent from the original or the reestimate
does not exceed the standards established by section 90.045.
All such forfeited money shall be paid into the state treasury
and credited to the fund or account from which the expenses
of such the rescale, recount, or reestimate were paid.
Sec. 15. [LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; PURPOSE.]
Consolidated-conservation lands are lands that have a
unique status under the legislative acts of 1929, 1931, and 1933
that created boundaries for the lands to become
consolidated-conservation lands in Beltrami, Koochiching, Lake
of the Woods, Aitkin, Mahnomen, Marshall, and Roseau counties.
The counties and the commissioner of natural resources have had
joint interests, responsibilities, and receipts of revenues from
the consolidated-conservation lands as provided by law which
have led to disagreements and frustration over the designation
and use of these lands. The lands were privately owned and
became tax-forfeited from drainage and property taxes leaving
the counties with the burden of providing infrastructure without
taxable lands to provide supporting revenue. The commissioner
of natural resources has been charged with developing game
preserves, forestry areas, and other state purposes on these
lands that were previously privately owned and drained wholly or
partially for settlement. The goals and uses for the
consolidated-conservation lands require a working relationship
between the counties and the commissioner to resolve state and
county concerns for the lands.
It is the purpose of this act to designate certain
consolidated-conservation lands as forestry or wildlife
management lands with certain uses so that there is no further
dispute about the status of those lands, to provide increased
payments in lieu of taxes to support county infrastructure, and
to provide a structure and forum for the counties and the
commissioner to resolve identified issues and make common
recommendations to the legislature.
Sec. 16. [97A.133] [STATE WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREAS.]
Subdivision 1. [ESTABLISHMENT.] State wildlife management
areas are established and designated as provided under this
section. State wildlife management areas are located and named
as indicated in this section.
Subd. 2. [PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES.] The consolidated
conservation lands included in state wildlife management areas
are subject to the payment in lieu tax as provided in section
477A.12, paragraph (a), clause (1).
Subd. 3. [ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE TRAVEL WITHIN DESIGNATED
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREAS.] (a) On lands acquired by the state
under chapter 84A that are designated after January 1, 1986, as
wildlife management areas, the commissioner shall, by January
15, 2003, identify and designate corridor trails in corridors of
disturbance that the commissioner determines are appropriate to
connect trails, forest roads established under section 89.71,
subdivision 1, and public highways to provide reasonable travel
for all-terrain vehicles. The commissioner shall consult with
wildlife management area users, including both motorized and
nonmotorized trail users, in identifying and designating
corridor trails under this paragraph. Corridor trail
establishment must be in compliance with other state and federal
law. Local governments and other trail sponsors may propose the
designation of corridor trails, including the designation as a
grant-in-aid trail for the purposes of funding under section
84.927, subdivision 2.
(b) The following forest roads shall be open to travel by
all-terrain vehicles when the roads are open to other
noncommercial vehicles:
(1) the Rapid River forest road, beginning at the west
boundary of the Red Lake wildlife management area at the
southwest corner of Section 7, Township 156 North, Range 35
West, Beltrami county, thence in an easterly and northeasterly
direction through the Red Lake wildlife management area to the
east boundary of the Red Lake wildlife management area at the
southwest corner of Section 7, Township 157 North, Range 33
West, Lake of the Woods county;
(2) the Blanchard forest road, beginning at the junction of
the North Shore Road along the northern shore of Upper Red Lake
and the Blanchard state forest road at the west section line of
Section 30, Township 155 North, Range 31 West, Beltrami county,
thence in a westerly direction to the west section line of
Section 31, Township 155 North, Range 32 West; and
(3) the Moose River forest road, beginning at the junction
of Dick's Parkway state forest road and the Moose River state
forest road at the southwest corner of Section 31, Township 36
West, Range 158 North, thence in a westerly direction along the
Moose River state forest road to the junction of Beltrami county
road 706.
(c) The commissioner shall sign each road and trail
designated under this subdivision indicating the motorized uses
allowed.
(d) For the purposes of this subdivision, "corridors of
disturbance" means rights-of-way such as ditches, ditch banks,
transmission lines, pipelines, permanent roads, winter roads,
and recreational trails. The existence of a corridor of
disturbance eligible for corridor designation may be
demonstrated by physical evidence, document recorded in the
office of the county recorder or other public official, aerial
survey, or other evidence similar to the above. Cross-country
motorized use of land shall not cause that land to be considered
a corridor of disturbance.

Sec. 17. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 97A.135,
subdivision 2a, is amended to read:
Subd. 2a. [DISPOSAL OF LAND IN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREAS.]
(a) The commissioner may sell or exchange land in a wildlife
management area authorized by designation under section 86A.07,
subdivision 3, 97A.133, or 97A.145 if the commissioner vacates
the designation before the sale or exchange in accordance with
this subdivision. The designation may be vacated only if the
commissioner finds, after a public hearing, that the disposal of
the land is in the public interest.
(b) A sale under this subdivision is subject to sections
94.09 to 94.16. An exchange under this subdivision is subject
to sections 94.341 to 94.348.
(c) Revenue received from a sale authorized under paragraph
(a) is appropriated to the commissioner for acquisition of
replacement wildlife management lands.
(d) Land acquired by the commissioner under this
subdivision must meet the criteria in section 86A.05,
subdivision 8, and as soon as possible after the acquisition
must be designated as a wildlife management area under section
86A.07, subdivision 3, 97A.133, or 97A.145.
(e) In acquiring land under this subdivision, the
commissioner must give priority to land within the same
geographic region of the state as the land conveyed.
Sec. 18. Minnesota Statutes 1998, section 477A.11,
subdivision 3, is amended to read:
Subd. 3. [ACQUIRED NATURAL RESOURCES LAND.] "Acquired
natural resources land" means:
