§ 6408. Functions

(a) The Council shall function as a forum to hear and attempt to resolve concerns involving the so-called Champion lands that are brought to the attention of the Council regarding ongoing use and management of State lands, collaboration with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and public access to the public and privately held lands. With respect to the public lands and the role of the Agency of Natural Resources, these matters may include public access, the recreation access plan, snowmobiling, motorized, mechanical and equestrian access, private roads, temporary restrictions, federal ownership, timber harvesting, land conservation, water classification, economic development, and camp leases. The Council has no authority to discuss or comment on interests obtained by a private owner who purchases a portion of the property, including timber harvesting and forest management interests obtained.

(b) The Council shall also function as a source of information to persons interested in learning about the transaction including its legal conditions, or about the ongoing use and management of the land. (Added 1999, No. 1, § 87b, eff. March 31, 1999.)
