                         Laws of Minnesota 1985 

                        CHAPTER 91-H.F.No. 1198 
           An act relating to local government; authorizing the 
          creation of a youth coordinating board in the city of 
          Minneapolis. 
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA: 
    Section 1.  [MINNEAPOLIS; YOUTH COORDINATING BOARD; 
PURPOSE.] 
    The legislature of the state of Minnesota finds that it is 
in the public interest to enable a major metropolitan city to 
improve the ability of its public agencies and services to 
promote the health, safety, education, and development of its 
youth, and finds that the creation of an organizational 
structure to improve coordination among the agencies and 
services will accomplish that objective by strengthening 
cooperation and providing an improved means to identify and 
remedy conditions which hinder or prevent the community's youth 
from becoming healthy, productive members of society.  These 
activities are public purposes for which public money may be 
expended and are governmental functions in the promotion of the 
public health, safety, and welfare.  
    Sec. 2.  [YOUTH COORDINATING BOARD STRUCTURE.] 
    The city of Minneapolis, its park and recreation board, and 
its library board, and special school district No. 1, 
individually, jointly or cooperatively, may establish a 
coordinating board for the needs and issues of youth within the 
city on the terms and conditions agreed to by the participating 
governmental units.  The participating governmental units may 
establish the board as provided by Minnesota Statutes, section 
471.59.  An agreement establishing the board may provide for the 
participation of any other political subdivision whose 
jurisdiction includes all or part of the area of the city of 
Minneapolis.  The coordinating board may have a governing body 
composed of persons selected by the participating governmental 
units.  Members of the governing bodies of the participating 
units may serve on the board. 
    Sec. 3.  [EXERCISE OF POWERS.] 
    The participating units may authorize the youth 
coordinating board to 
    (a) employ employees, permanent and temporary, as it may 
require, and determine their qualifications, duties, and 
compensation;  
    (b) use the services of the participating local public 
bodies;  
    (c) execute contracts or instruments as necessary; 
    (d) receive and expend funds from public and private 
sources for its purposes; and 
    (e) take other actions as necessary or convenient to carry 
out its purposes. 
No power given shall impair the authority or responsibility of 
the participating governmental units to carry out their regular 
functions. 
    Sec. 4.  [DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS.] 
    The participating units may provide services and public 
funds to the coordinating board to carry out its purposes. 
    Sec. 5.  [EFFECTIVE DATE.] 
    This act is effective the day after compliance with 
Minnesota Statutes, section 645.021, subdivision 3 by the city 
council of the city of Minneapolis, its park and recreation 
board, its library board, and the board of special school 
district No. 1.
