SB 282

This bill conveys a lake bed area to Brown County for certain public purposes.

Under

chapter 15, Laws of 1977

, this state conveyed to Brown County a

submerged parcel of land on the bed of Green Bay. That law conveyed the land to be

used by Brown County for public slips, basins, docks, wharves, structures, wildlife

refuges, recreation, and park purposes. This bill conveys an additional parcel of

submerged land to Brown County for the same purposes. The additional parcel is

contiguous to the parcel originally conveyed to Brown County under

chapter 15,

Laws of 1977

.

This bill also limits the purposes for which structures may be erected on the

land conveyed to Brown County to those that facilitate public use of and access to the

land, and construction and maintenance of the land or aids to navigation. The bill

also prohibits Brown County from conveying all or any part of the land to any person

other than this state, a political subdivision of this state, or a special purpose district

of this state.

Because this bill concerns a conveyance of a lake bed area, the Department of

Natural Resources, as required by law, will prepare a detailed report to be printed

as an appendix to this bill.
