The responsibility for reporting under this subdivision may be transferred by the recipient of the appropriation to another person or entity that holds the interest in the real property. To complete the transfer of reporting responsibility, the recipient of the appropriation must: (1) inform the person to whom the responsibility is transferred of that person's reporting responsibility;(2) inform the person to whom the responsibility is transferred of the property restrictions under subdivision 15; and(3) provide written notice to the council of the transfer of reporting responsibility, including contact information for the person to whom the responsibility is transferred.(b) After the transfer, the person or entity that holds the interest in the real property is responsible for reporting requirements under this subdivision.Subd. 17.Easement monitoring and enforcement requirements.Money appropriated from the outdoor heritage fund for easement monitoring and enforcement may be spent only on activities included in an easement monitoring and enforcement plan contained within the accomplishment plan. Money received for monitoring and enforcement, including earnings on the money received, shall be kept in a monitoring and enforcement fund held by the organization and is appropriated for monitoring and enforcing conservation easements in the state.
