  1.7   BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
  1.8      Section 1.  [APPROPRIATION; COLIN POWELL YOUTH CENTER.] 
  1.9      $6,350,000 is appropriated to the Department of 
  1.10  Administration for a grant to Hennepin County to predesign, 
  1.11  design, construct, furnish, and equip the Colin Powell Youth 
  1.12  Center to be located in Hennepin County and to provide a 
  1.13  facility for educational, job training, counseling, and other 
  1.14  supportive services to disadvantaged youth.  Hennepin County 
  1.15  shall contract for the operation of this facility and program, 
  1.16  pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.695.  This 
  1.17  appropriation shall be contingent on the nonprofit operator (1) 
  1.18  transferring ownership of the site for the facility to Hennepin 
  1.19  County at no charge, and (2) Hennepin County determining that 
  1.20  matching funds, in addition to the value of the land, of not 
  1.21  less than $6,350,000, which may include loans, have been secured 
  1.22  from nonstate sources, and are sufficient to complete a 
  1.23  functional facility.  Funds secured prior to the date of 
  1.24  enactment are eligible to count toward the required commitment 
  1.25  of nonstate sources, provided they are used for qualified 
  1.26  capital expenditures.  "Nonstate sources," for purposes of this 
  2.1   section, means a source other than a direct state appropriation 
  2.2   for construction of this facility.
