§ 27.15 State aid; snowmobile enforcement. 1. Every county, city, town
or village enforcing the provisions of this chapter relating to
snowmobiles shall be entitled to receive state aid as hereinafter
provided. A county, city, town or village seeking reimbursement for
expenditures incurred in enforcement of this article, including
expenditures incurred for signs and markers therefor, shall submit to
the commissioner by January first of each year an estimate of such
expenditures for the current fiscal year, in such form and containing
such information as the commissioner may require. Within one month after
the close of the fiscal year, each such county, city, town or village
shall submit to the commissioner a statement of authorized expenditures
actually incurred, in such form and containing such information as he
may require. For the purpose of this section, "fiscal year" shall mean
the period from April first through March thirty-first.

2. The amount of state aid to be allocated to counties, cities, towns
or villages shall be determined by the commissioner as hereinafter
provided. The commissioner shall determine the percentage proportion
which the authorized expenditures of each individual county, city, town
or village, but not exceeding fifty thousand dollars for each county
including the municipalities therein, shall bear to the total authorized
expenditures of all the counties, cities, towns or villages for
enforcement of such provisions during the fiscal year. Such percentage
proportion shall then be applied against an amount equal to twenty-five
percent of the amount received by the state in fees received for
registration of snowmobiles during such fiscal year, to the extent only
and not exceeding the sum of two hundred thousand dollars. The amount
thus determined shall constitute the maximum amount of state aid to
which each county, city, town or village shall be entitled. Provided,
however, that no county, city, town or village shall receive state aid
in an amount in excess of three-quarters of its authorized expenditures
as approved by the commissioner for such fiscal year. The commissioner
shall certify to the comptroller the amount thus determined for each
county, city, town or village as the amount of state aid to be
apportioned to such county, city, town or village.
