SECTION 81670-81678
81670. The governing board of any community college district may construct and maintain dormitories in connection with any community college within the district for use and occupancy by students in attendance at the community college, and shall fix the rates to be charged the students for quarters in the dormitories. 81676. Any person who is employed in a bookstore maintained by a community college pursuant to this section is a member of the classified service of the district in accordance with Section 88020. In the case of a person who, immediately preceding becoming a member of the classified service of a school district pursuant to this section, was employed, other than as a student or substitute employee, in a community college bookstore maintained by a student body organization, such prior service shall, for all purposes, be deemed service in the classified service of the employing community college district. The disposition and accounting of revenue and expenditures of the bookstore operation shall be as prescribed by the California Community Colleges Budget and Accounting Manual. Net proceeds from the operation of a community college bookstore shall be used for the general benefit of the student body as determined by the governing board. Money may be expended for services and property, including, but not limited to, parking facilities, stadia, student centers, student unions, health centers, bookstores or auxiliary facilities for use of students or faculty members of the community college or employees of the district. Funds derived from the operation of a community college bookstore shall be subject to audit pursuant to Section 84040. 81677. The governing board of any community college district may establish and operate a fire department upon any community college campus governed by it and located wholly outside any city, fire protection district or other local agency which provides fire protection service. No such fire department shall be established until the board has first received approval in writing from the local agency formation commission for the county in which all or the major portion of such campus is located. The board of trustees of any district within which the fire department is established pursuant to this section may enter into mutual aid agreements with other governmental agencies providing fire protection, and may contract with owners or occupants of property within the vicinity of the campus on which such department is located for fire protection service, but only during such time as such property is not within the territory of any city, fire protection district or other local agency which provides fire protection service. Any fire department established pursuant to this section may be continued notwithstanding the subsequent annexation of any portion of the campus on which it is located to any city, fire protection district or other local agency providing fire protection service. As used in this section, the operation of a fire department shall be deemed to include the maintenance and operation of ambulances and rescue and first aid services. During the time any department is operated pursuant to this section, the board may on behalf of its fire department maintain membership in any local, state or national group or association organized or operated for the promotion or the preservation of life and property from the hazards of fire and panic. 81678. (a) As provided in Section 15792 of the Government Code, community college districts are eligible for reimbursement for the purchase of equipment related to a facility, regardless of whether the facility was built or purchased with funds appropriated by the Legislature and that funding for equipment shall be provided in the same manner as for other community college facilities. (b) On or before January 1, 1999, the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges shall adopt regulations to implement this section. However, prior to adopting these regulations, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges shall consult with the Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst.
