2006 Minnesota Statutes

103E.405 OUTLETS IN ADJOINING STATES.
In any drainage proceeding, at the hearing on the detailed survey report and viewers' report,
if the drainage authority determines that a proper outlet for the drainage system does not exist
except through property in an adjoining state, the drainage authority may adjourn the hearing.
If the hearing is adjourned the drainage authority shall require the auditor or, for a joint county
drainage system, the auditors of affected counties to procure an option to acquire the needed
right-of-way at an expense not exceeding the estimated cost specified in the detailed survey
report. The order establishing the drainage project may not be made until the option is procured.
If the option is procured and the drainage project established, the option shall be exercised and the
cost of the right-of-way shall be paid as a part of the cost of the drainage project.
