(a) The board may issue certificates pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 15821) or revenue bonds, negotiable notes, or negotiable bond anticipation notes pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 15830) to finance the cost of construction or renovation and the equipping of the public buildings or facilities authorized by this chapter.
(b) The revenues, rentals, or receipts from the public buildings or facilities and equipment authorized by this chapter shall be pledged to the payment of the principal of, and the interest on, the certificates, revenue bonds, notes, or anticipation notes issued to finance the construction or renovation and the equipping of those public buildings or facilities.
(c) No certificates, revenue bonds, notes, or anticipation notes shall be issued, and no construction or renovation and the equipping for any public building or facility authorized by this chapter shall be commenced or purchased, unless the Legislature, by statute, authorizes the total amount of certificates, revenue bonds, notes, or anticipation notes that may be used to finance the construction of that public building or facility.
(d) In addition to revenues calculated for apportionment to community college districts pursuant to Section 84700 of the Education Code, when a community college capital outlay project has been approved pursuant to Section 81830 of the Education Code, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges shall apportion state aid equal to the amount necessary for each district to meet its lease or lease-purchase obligation determined pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 15820.55, less an amount determined to be the district’s proportional share of the lease or lease-purchase obligation based on the calculation of the district’s share of capital outlay costs as determined by the chancellor pursuant to Section 81838 of the Education Code. It is the intent that these funds be appropriated annually as a part of the state’s general apportionment funds for the community colleges.
(e) When a community college district enters into a lease or lease-purchase agreement with the State Public Works Board pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 15820.55, the district shall, as a part of that lease or lease-purchase agreement, authorize the chancellor and Controller to withhold from its annual apportionment the amount of funds necessary to satisfy its annual lease obligation to the Public Works Board. The agreement shall include authorization to withhold the additional apportionment amount and the amount determined to be the district’s proportional share of the lease or lease-purchase obligation as determined pursuant to subdivision (d). The authorization shall have precedence over other expenditure obligations of the district. The chancellor shall certify the amounts, by district, to the Controller. The Controller shall withhold the amount so reported for each district and shall, acting on behalf of each district, transfer the appropriate amount from Section B of the State School Fund to the Public Works Board for the purpose of payment of the debt service obligation for the bonds sold to finance the projects.
