  1.8   CENTER AT CAMP RIPLEY.] 
  1.9      The military reservation at Camp Ripley is designated as 
  1.10  the "State of Minnesota Education and Training Center."  State 
  1.11  agencies may use the National Guard Education Center at Camp 
  1.12  Ripley for official conferences, sessions, meetings, seminars, 
  1.13  and any other gathering of state employees that otherwise would 
  1.14  not be held in the agency's normal place of business.  
  1.15     State agencies are encouraged to coordinate with the 
  1.16  adjutant general for availability of the Camp Ripley 
  1.17  facilities.  In the event the Camp Ripley facilities are being 
  1.18  used for military training or are otherwise unavailable, the 
  1.19  state agencies may contract for use alternative conference 
  1.20  facilities.  This section is not intended to preclude adherence 
  1.21  to rules of the commissioner of employee relations.
