Oregon Statutes - Chapter 341 - Community Colleges - Section 341.735 - Grant agreements for distribution of funds to community college districts; fees.

(1) For the purposes of distributing moneys held in the Community College Capital Construction Fund and the Community College Bond Building Fund, the Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development shall enter into grant agreements with each community college district for whose projects moneys have been appropriated from the General Fund and are held pending disbursement of the moneys. The grant agreements shall obligate the department to distribute to each community college district any funds the district provides to the state to provide a General Fund match as required by Article XI-G of the Oregon Constitution and shall also obligate the department to distribute to each community college district any amounts that are credited to the Community College Bond Building Fund for a project of the district. The department may impose reasonable conditions and reporting and accounting requirements in a grant agreement described in this section that are intended to ensure that the amounts distributed from the funds listed in this subsection will be used for the projects for which the amounts were distributed.

(2) The grant agreements shall also require that each community college district that receives amounts from the funds listed in subsection (1) of this section shall:

(a) Return to the state any amounts distributed from the Community College Bond Building Fund that are not required to complete the project of that district. The department shall credit the returned amounts to the Community College Bond Sinking Fund.

(b) Take any action as determined by the state’s bond counsel that is necessary to maintain the excludability of the interest paid by the state on the general obligation bonds that the state issues pursuant to Article XI-G of the Oregon Constitution to fund the Community College Bond Building Fund.

(3) The department may collect fees from community college districts that receive moneys under a grant agreement entered into under this section to cover the costs relating to the administration of the distribution of proceeds from general obligation bonds issued pursuant to Article XI-G of the Oregon Constitution to finance community college district projects and for executing the responsibilities of the department under the grant agreement. The department shall deposit any moneys collected under this subsection in the Department of Community Colleges and Workforce Development Account. [2005 c.787 §33]
