Fees
(1)
All expenses of the authority incurred in carrying out the provisions of this article shall be payable solely from funds provided pursuant to this article, and no liability shall be incurred by the authority beyond the moneys which are provided pursuant to this article; except that, for the purposes of meeting the necessary expenses of initial organization and operation until such date as the authority derives moneys from funds provided pursuant to this article, the authority may borrow such moneys as may be required for the necessary expenses of organization and operation. Such borrowed moneys shall be repaid within a reasonable time after the authority receives funds provided pursuant to this article.(2)
Nothing in this article shall be construed to imply mandatory participation by an educational institution or a cultural institution. An initial planning service fee in an amount determined by the authority shall be paid to the authority by each participating educational institution or cultural institution that applies for financial assistance to provide for its facilities. Such initial planning service fees shall be included in the cost of the facilities to be financed and shall not be refundable by the authority, whether or not any such application is approved or, if approved, whether or not such financial assistance is accomplished. In addition to such initial fee, an annual planning service fee shall be paid to the authority by each participating educational institution or cultural institution in an amount determined by the authority. Such fees shall be paid on said dates or in such installments as may be satisfactory to the authority. Such fees may be used for:(a)
Necessary expenses to determine the need for facilities;(b)
Necessary administrative expenses; and(c)
Reserves for anticipated future expenses.(3)
In addition, the authority may retain, for a negotiated fee, the services of any other public or private person, firm, partnership, association, or corporation for the furnishing of services and data for use by the authority in determining the need and location of any such facilities for which application is being made or for such other services or surveys as the authority deems necessary to carry out the purposes of this article.(4)
The authority may charge a reasonable fee to cover expenses incurred by the authority in connection with the review of an application by an issuer other than the authority for designation of bonds or certificates as Colorado education savings bonds or certificates pursuant to section 23-15-110.5. Such fee may also be used to cover a portion of the cost to the authority of administering the program.
