Board of County Commissioners of Kent County shall provide at
least an equal and matching fund of $2,000,000. No part of an
applicant's matching fund may be provided, either directly or
indirectly, from funds of the State, whether appropriated or
unappropriated. No part of the fund may consist of real property
or in kind contributions. The fund may include funds expended
for architects' and engineers' fees prior to the effective date
of this Act which have not previously been used to satisfy local
matching requirements of a State grant for this project. In case
of any dispute as to what money or assets may qualify as matching
funds, the Board of Public Works shall determine the matter, and
the Board's decision is final. The Board of County Commissioners
of Kent County has until June 1, 1987 to present evidence
satisfactory to the Board of Public Works that the matching fund
will be provided. If satisfactory evidence is presented, the
Board shall certify this fact to the State Treasurer and the
proceeds of the loan shall be expended for the purposes provided
in this Act. If this evidence is not presented by June 1, 1987,
the proceeds of the loan shall be applied to the purposes
authorized by Article 78A, § 3 of the Code.

SECTION 2. AND BE IT FURTHER ENACTED, That this Act shall
