Colorado Revised Statutes Title 26. Human Services Code § 26-1-133.5. Rental properties--fund created

(1) The executive director is authorized to rent surplus facilities on the campuses of the various institutions operated by the state department so long as the rentals are not prohibited by contractual agreement, state law, or other legal restrictions on the state department's possession or use of the property. The state department shall not enter into any lease agreement that would endanger the state's ownership of the property or that is expected to result in a financial loss to the state.

(2) All moneys collected from the rental of surplus facilities pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall be transmitted to the state treasurer, who shall credit the same to the department of human services buildings and grounds cash fund, which fund is hereby created and referred to in this section as the “fund”.

(3) The moneys in the fund shall be subject to annual appropriation by the general assembly to the state department to be used in operating, repairing, remodeling, or demolishing the facilities of any properties rented by the state department pursuant to subsection (1) of this section.

(4) Any moneys in the fund not expended for the purposes of subsection (3) of this section may be invested by the state treasurer as provided by law. All interest and income derived from the investment and deposit of moneys in the fund shall be credited to the fund. Any unexpended and unencumbered moneys remaining in the fund at the end of a fiscal year shall remain in the fund and shall not be credited or transferred to the general fund or another fund.
