Section 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  twenty-five  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 one hundred  fifty  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  one-half  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.
