EDUCATION CODE

SECTION 81800-81808

81800. (a) This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the
Community College Construction Act of 1980.
(b) The Legislature hereby declares that it is in the interest of
the state and of the people thereof for the state to provide
assistance to community college districts for the construction of
community college facilities. The community college system is of
general concern and interest to all the people of the state, and the
education of community college students is a joint obligation and
function of both the state and community college districts.
In enacting this chapter, the Legislature considers that there is
a need to provide adequate community college facilities that will be
required to accommodate community college students resulting from
growth in population and from legislative policies expressed through
implementation of the Master Plan for Higher Education.

81805. This chapter shall be administered by the Board of Governors
of the California Community Colleges, and for purposes of the
administration the board of governors shall adopt all necessary rules
and regulations.
For purposes of this chapter, the board of governors shall
assemble statewide data on facility and construction costs, and on
the basis thereof formulate cost standards and construction
standards. The formulation of standards shall include also the
formulation of average ratios of equipment cost to total project
costs, unit equipment costs per faculty or other staff measure, and
unit costs related to floor areas.

81807. Funds appropriated for a project of a community college
district for purposes of this chapter shall be allocated and
disbursed upon order of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges, and by warrants of the Controller issued pursuant
thereto.

81808. In the event an existing community college district is
included in a newly formed community college district, any unused
funds appropriated or authorized to be appropriated for a finally
approved project of the included district pursuant to this chapter
shall be transferred to the newly formed or including community
college district on the date that such district is effective for all
purposes, or prior to such effective date where the governing boards
of the districts agree to such earlier transfer.
