412.491 Parks; parkways; recreational facilities
Any village may establish, improve, ornament, maintain and
manage parks, parkways, and recreational facilities and by ordinance
protect and regulate their use. Laws 1949, c. 119, Section 61.
412.501 Park board in certain villages; continuance of existing board;
officers; compensation
The council of any village of more than 1, 000 population may by
ordinance establish a park board and it may by ordinance adopted by
unanimous vote of all members of the council abolish any board thus es-
tablished . Any park board now in existence in any village shall here-
after operate as a park board under this chapter until abolished as pro-
vided in this section. The park board shall consist of three members
appointed by the mayor with the consent of the council. One member of
the original board shall serve for a term of one year, one for a term of
two years, and one for a term of three years, and thereafter one shall be
appointed each year for a term of three years. Vacancies shall be filled
for the remainder of the original terms. Each member shall serve until
his successor is appointed and qualifies. Members shall serve without
compensation unless the council authorizes compensation which may not
exceed $100 per year for each member. Any member may be removed
by the mayor with the consent of the council for cause after a hearing.
The board shall choose one of its members as chairman and may select
a secretary either from among its own members or otherwise and fix his
compensation at not to exceed $500 per year. The board may adopt and
from time to time amend rules of procedure. It shall make quarterly
reports of its activities to the village council. The village attorney, if
there is one, shall act as attorney for the board. An annual statement of
its receipts and disbursements shall be filed with the village clerk im-
mediately after the close of the calendar year and shall be included as
part of the annual financial statement of the village clerk in conformity
with section 412.281. Laws 1949, c. 119, Section 62.
412. 511 Acquisition and control of park property
Either the park board or the village council may acquire land for
park purposes but the park board shall have full, absolute and exclusive
control over all property set aside for park purposes. Laws 1949, C. 119,
Section 63.
412. 521 Powers of board

and fix their compensation.
Subd. 3. Construction; contracts. The park board may construct road-
ways, paths, buildings, fountains, docks, boathouses, bathhouses, refresh-
ment booths, amusement halls, pavilions, and other necessary structures
and improvements in parks. The board may, with the consent of the village
council, make contracts and leases for the construction and operation of
these facilities for terms not exceeding ten years. Every such contract and
lease shall provide that the structure shall be operated for the public use
and convenience, and that the charges shall be reasonable and it shall reserve
to the park board power to prescribe reasonable rules and regulations from
time to time for the conduct of the privilege.
Subd. 4. Purchase of supplies; equipment and services. The park board
may purchase all necessary materials, supplies, equipment, and services.

for not more than ten years. No clubhouse shall be so located as to interfere
with navigation. Every such lease shall reserve to the board full power and
authority to make from time to time reasonable rules and regulations with
respect to the use of the leased property. The lessee shall have power to
retain the clubhouse for the use of its own members and guests.
Subd. 7. Entertainment. The park board may provide musical and free

Subdivision 1. Establishment, transfer; tax levies. For the purpose
of carrying out the powers of the park board there shall be established in

necessary for park purposes. No later than September 1 of each year the
park board shall present to the council in such detail as the council shall
require its estimate of the financial needs of the board for the ensuing
fiscal year. In any county having a population of more than 225, 000 the
council of any village, whether having a park board or not, may annually
at the time of levying other village taxes levy a special tax of not to ex-
ceed two mills for park purposes. The proceeds of this tax shall be
placed in the village park fund.
Subd. 2. Audit; withdrawals. The park board shall, in the same
manner as the council under section 412.271, subdivision 1, and to the same
extent, audit claims to be paid from the park fund. The secretary of the
board shall draw his order upon the village treasurer for the proper amount
allowed by the board. Upon counter signature by the president of the
