Summary

The leaders of the Interior Department and the Army must appoint people to a Tri-Rivers Management Board (or to a similar group Minnesota creates) to help plan and manage parts of the Mississippi, Saint Croix, and Minnesota Rivers in the Saint Paul–Minneapolis area. If the Board asks, those agencies can send staff to work with it, and the Board must pay their costs. Up to $100,000 a year is allowed to carry out these duties, but federal payments to the Board cannot be more than one-third of the Board’s yearly operating costs.
