7 shall provide a biennial report to the legislature on the

10 ARTICLE 6 -
11 NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
12 Section 1. Minnesota Statutes 1988, section 282. 01,
13 subdivision 1, is amended to read:
14 Subdivision 1 . [CLASSIFICATION; USE; EXCHANGE. ] It is the
15 general policy of this state to encourage the best use of
16 tax-forfeited lands, recognizing that some lands in public
17 ownership should be retained and managed for public benefits
18 while other lands should be returned to private ownership. All
19 parcels of land becoming the property of the state in trust
20 under the provisions of any law now existing or hereafter
21 enacted c�eclaring the forfeiture of lands to the state for
22 taxes, shall be classified by the county board of the county
23 wherein such parcels lie as conservation or nonconservation.
24 Such cla�sification shall be made with consideration, among
25 other thiings, to the present t�se of adjacent lands, the
26 productivity of the soil, the character of forest or other
27 growth, accessibility of lands to established roads, schools,
28 and other public services, their peculiar suitability or �
29 desirabil:ity for particular uses and the suitability of the
30 forest resources on the land for multiple use, sustained yield
31 management. Such classification, furthermore, shall aid: to
32 encourage and foster a mode of land utilization that will
33 facilitate the economical and adequate provision of
34 transportation, roads, water supply, .drainage, sanitation,
35 education, and recreation; to facilitate reduction of
36 governmental expenditures; to conserve and develop the natural
� 61
,
CHAPTER No. 328
S.F. No. 522
1 resources; and to foster and develop agriculture and other
2 industries in the districts and places best suited thereto.
3 In making such classification the county board may make use
4 of such data and information as may be made available by any
5 office or department of the federal, state, or local
6 governments, or by any other person or agency possessing
7 information pertinent thereto at the time such classification is
8 made. Such lands may be reclassified from time to time as the
9 county board may deem necessary or desirable, except as to
10 conservation lands held by the state free from any trust in
11 favor of any taxing district.
12 If any such lands are located within the boundaries of any
13 organized town, with taxable valuation in excess of $20,000, or
14 incorporated municipality, the classification or
15 reclassification and sale shall first be approved by the town
16 board of such town or the governing body of such municipality
17 insofar as the lands located therein are concerned. The town
18 board of the town or the governing body of the municipality will
19 be deemed to have approved the classification or
20 reclassification and sale if the county board is not notified of
21 the disapproval of the classification or reclassification and
22 sale within 90 days of the date the request for approval was
23 transmitted to the town board of the town or governing body of
24 the municipality. If the town board or governing body desires
25 to acquire any parcel lying in the town or municipality by
26 procedures authorized in this subdivision, it shall,� within 90
27 days of the request for classification or reclassification and
28 sale, file a written application with the county board to �
29 withhold the parcel from public sale. The county board shall
30 then withhold the parcel from public sale for one year.
31 Any tax-forfeited lands may be sold by the county board to
32 any organized or incorporated governmental subdivision of the
33 state for any public purpose for which such subdivision is
34 authorized to acquire property or may be released from the trust
35 in favor of the taxing districts upon application of any state
36 agency for any authorized use at not less than their value as

1 determined by the county board. The commissioner of revenue
2 aka��-haee-peaer-to m� convey by deed in the name of the state
3 any tract of tax-forfeited land held in trust in favor of the
4 taxing districts, to any governmental subdivision for any
5 authorized public use, provided that an application there£er
6 sha��-be is submitted to the commissioner with a statement of
7 facts as to the use to be made of a�ek the tract and the need
8 therefor and the recommendation of the county board. The
9 commissioner of revenue shall convey by deed in the name of the
10 state any tract of tax-forfeited land held in trust in favor of
11 the taxinq districts, to a political subdivision that submits an
12 application to the commissioner of revenue and the county
13 board. The application must include a resolution, adopted by
14 the governing body of the political subdivision, finding that
15 the conveyance of a tract of tax-forfeited land to the political
16 subdivision is necessary to provide for the redevelopment of
17 land as productive taxable property. The deed of conveyance
18 shall be upon a form appr�oved by the attorney general and shall
19 be conditi�oned upon continued use for the purpose stated in the
20 application, provided, however, that if the governing body of
21 such governmental subdivision by resolution determines that some
22 other public use shall be made of such lands, �and such change of
23 use is approved by the county board and an application for such
24 change of use is made to, and approved by, the commissioner,
25 such changed use may be made of such lands without the necessity
26 of the governing body conveying the lands back to the state and
27 securing a new conveyance from the state to the governmental
28 subdivision for such new public use.
29 Whenelver any governmental subdivision to which any
30 tax-forfeited land has been conveyed for a specified public use
31 as provided in this section shall fail to put such land to such
32 use, or to some other authorized public use as provided herein,
33 or shall abandon such use, the governing� body of the subdivision
34 shall authorize the proper officers to convey the same, or such
35 portion thereof not required for an authorized public use, to
36 the state of Minnesota, and such officers shall execute a deed

6 development authority, or a city as authorized by aeetsans
7 �69.-99�-te-4�9.-84� chapter 469 shall not be an abandonment of
8 such use and such lands shall not be reconveyed to the state nor
� 9 sha11 they revert to the state. A certificate made by a housing
10 and redevelopment authority, a port authority, an economic -
11 development authority, or a city referring to a conveyance by it
12 and stating that the conveyance has been made as authorized
13 by seet�ena-469.-6A�-te-459.-9�� chapter 469 may be filed with the
14 county recorder or registrar of titles, and the rights of
15 reverter in favor of the state provided by this subdivision will
16 then terminate. No vote of the people shall be required for
17 such conveyance. In case any such land shall not be so conveyed
18 to the state, the commissioner of revenue shall by written
19 instrument, in form approved by the attorney general, declare
20 the same to have reverted to the state, and shall serve a notice
21 thereof, with a copy of the declaration, by certified mail upon
22 the clerk or recorder of the governmental subdivision concerned,
23 provided, that no declaration of reversion shall be made earlier
24 than five years from the date of conveyance for failure to put
25 such land to such use or from the date of abandonment of such
26 use if such lands have been put to such use. The commissioner
27 shall file the original declaration in the commissioner ' s
28 office, with verified proof of service as herein required. The
29 governmental subdivision may appeal to the district court of the
30 county in which the land lies by filing with the court
31 administrator a notice of appeal, specifying the grounds of
32 appeal and the description of the land involved, mailing a copy
33 thereof by certified mail to the commissioner of revenue, and
34 filing a copy thereof for record with the county recorder or
35 registrar of titles, all within 30 days after the mailing of the
36 notice of reversion. The appeal shal� be tried by the court in
