The governing board of each community college district when
drawing an order for the salary or wage payment due to an academic
employee of the district shall, with or without charge, reduce the
order for the payment of service fees to the certified or recognized
organization as required in an organizational security arrangement
between the exclusive representative and a public school employer as
provided under Chapter 10.7 (commencing with Section 3540) of
Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code.  However, the
organizational security arrangement shall provide that any employee
may pay service fees directly to the certified or recognized employee
organization in lieu of having the service fees deducted from the
salary or wage order.
   If the employees of a district do not authorize the board to make
a deduction to pay their pro rata share of the costs of making
deductions for the payment of service fees to the certificated or
recognized organization, the board shall deduct from the amount
transmitted to the organization on whose account the payments were
deducted the actual costs, if any, of making the deduction.  No
charge shall exceed the actual cost to the district of the deduction.
  These actual costs shall be determined by the board and shall
include startup and ongoing costs.
