CA Codes (edc:16250-16253)

16250.  Not to exceed two million four hundred twelve thousand two
hundred thirty-three dollars and forty-nine cents (,412,233.49) of
the amount of the proceeds of bonds issued under the State School
Building Aid Law of 1966 may be expended pursuant to this article.
The funds shall be allocated by the State Allocation Board to a joint
powers board of education for the construction of a permanent campus
for a newly created regional occupation center school to be located
in the south bay area of Los Angeles County, having a population in
excess of 1,070,000, and a potential average daily attendance in
excess of 10,000 persons.  Not to exceed four hundred thousand
dollars (0,000) of such sum shall be allocated and expended for
architectural and engineering services in connection with the
construction.
   Sections 16000 to 16006, inclusive, Sections 16009, 16018 and
16021, inclusive, shall be applicable to the administration of this
article, unless the context of this article, as determined by the
board requires otherwise.



16251.  The allocation of funds to the entity pursuant to this
article shall be conditioned upon the prior approval of the proposed
facilities and subject matter of the educational program by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction.


16252.  It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this article
to finance the capital expenditures involved in the construction,
equipping, and establishment, to serve an area in great need of
occupational preparation, of a regional occupational center school to
be maintained by a Joint Powers Board of Education and entity.  It
is the further intent of the Legislature to improve the employment
opportunities of persons residing in areas of need for the training,
by providing educational programs of a nature that will serve the
social and economic needs of that area.  The program will also serve
to upgrade the cultural and intellectual as well as the economic life
of the area to be served.
   The Legislature finds that the federal government has made
available in the south bay area of Los Angeles County land to be used
for a regional occupation center school, provided a permanent campus
can be established on the land within 18 months.  For this reason,
it is essential that the money made available for purposes of this
article be allocated to the establishment of a permanent campus for a
regional occupational center school in the south bay area of Los
Angeles County.


16253.  (a) Any amounts allocated and disbursed to the Joint Powers
Board of Education and entity pursuant to this article shall be a
loan by the state to the entity and shall be fully repaid by the
entity to the state within 10 years after the date of disbursement to
the entity.  Interest shall be paid at a rate determined by the
board.  Any loan shall be repaid by the entity from proceeds of a tax
under provisions of Section 52317, as amended by Section 1 of
Chapter 267 of the Statutes of 1977, for sites, buildings and
equipment, by a maximum tax levy of the assessed valuation of the
entity not to exceed five cents (.05) on each one hundred dollars
(0) of assessed valuation in that entity.
   (b) The annual repayment shall be determined by agreement between
the Director of Finance and the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
  The tax revenue referred to in subdivision (a) above shall be
transferred by the County Auditor of Los Angeles County to the
General Fund of the state in accordance with established regulations
and procedures.
