5.22than the appraised value determined by the county board to the highest bidder after not less
5.23than one week's published notice in an official paper within the county. Any timber offered
5.24at the public sale and not sold may thereafter be sold at private sale by the county auditor

6.5and cut necessary timber incidental to developing logging roads as may be needed to log
6.6other blocks provided that no timber may be removed from an unpaid block until separately
6.7scaled and paid for. If payment is provided as specified in this paragraph as security under

6.9the security provided, less any down payment required for an auction sale under this
6.10paragraph, to any other contract issued to the contract holder by the county under this chapter

6.17of timber, and the appraised price of each species of timber for 1,000 feet, per cord or per
6.18piece, as the case may be. In those cases any bids offered over and above the appraised
6.19prices shall be by percentage, the percent bid to be added to the appraised price of each of
6.20the different species of timber advertised on the land. The purchaser of timber from the
6.21parcels shall pay in cash at the time of sale at the rate bid for all of the timber shown in the
6.22notice of sale as estimated to be standing on the land, and in addition shall pay at the same
6.23rate for any additional amounts which the final scale shows to have been cut or was available
6.24for cutting on the land at the time of sale under the terms of the sale. Where the final scale
6.25of cut products shows that less timber was cut or was available for cutting under terms of
6.26the sale than was originally paid for, the excess payment shall be refunded from the forfeited
6.27tax sale fund upon the claim of the purchaser, to be audited and allowed by the county board
6.28as in case of other claims against the county. No timber, except hardwood pulpwood, may
6.29be removed from the parcels of land or other designated landings until scaled by a person

7.27be in the best interests of the public. No lease shall exceed ten years. The use of a stockpile
7.28for these purposes must first be approved by the commissioner of natural resources. The
7.29request shall be deemed approved unless the requesting county is notified to the contrary
7.30by the commissioner of natural resources within six months after receipt of a request for
7.31approval for use of a stockpile. Once use of a stockpile has been approved, the county may

8.11section 216B.2424, subdivision 1, or short-rotation woody crops from tax-forfeited lands
8.12upon the terms and conditions as the county board may prescribe. Any lease for the removal
8.13of peat, farm-grown closed-loop biomass, or short-rotation woody crops from tax-forfeited
8.14lands must first be reviewed and approved by the commissioner of natural resources if the
8.15lease covers 320 or more acres. No lease for the removal of peat, farm-grown closed-loop
8.16biomass, or short-rotation woody crops shall be made by the county auditor pursuant to this
8.17section without first holding a public hearing on the auditor's intention to lease. One printed

8.30request of the purchaser, the county may periodically allow the bank letter of credit to be
8.31reduced by an amount proportionate to the value of timber that has been harvested and for
8.32which the county has received payment. The remaining amount of the bank letter of credit
8.33after a reduction under this paragraph must not be less than 20 percent of the value of the
8.34timber purchased. If an irrevocable bank letter of credit or cash deposit is provided for the
