1997 Minnesota Statutes

     117.011 Must use this procedure; exceptions. 

    All bodies, public or private, who have the right of 
 eminent domain, when exercising the right, shall do so in the 
 manner prescribed by this chapter, even though a different 
 procedure may be provided by charter provisions, ordinance or 
 statute, but nothing herein shall apply to the taking of 
 property under laws relating to drainage or to town roads when 
 those laws themselves expressly provide for the taking and 
 specifically prescribe the procedure.  The taking of property 
 for a project undertaken by a watershed district under chapter 
 103D or for a project undertaken by a drainage authority under 
 chapter 103E may be carried out under the procedure provided by 
 those chapters.
