Subject:Health Services Fee (581-281) and Dormitory Revenue Fund 
- Auxiliary Facilities  (580-263)
The purpose of this memorandum is to notify campuses of the changes in accounting for the following funds:
  1. Health Services Fees (581-281)
  2. Dormitory Revenue Fund - Auxiliary Facilities (580-263)
1) The legislation that allowed Health Services Fees collected in the 1993/94 and 1994/95 fiscal years to be deposited in the California State University Facilities Revenue Fund (581-281) will sunset on JuneÊ30,Ê1995. Health Services Fees collected for fiscal years beginning in 1995/96 will have to be remitted to the Higher Education Fees and Income (498) and General Fund (001). Please refer to Attachment A for details. 2) The Dormitory Revenue Fund - Auxiliary Facilities (580-263) was established to facilitate the issuance of bonds or notes for the acquisition, construction, and improvement of student health centers. In January,Ê1994, the bonds for the student health centers were retired. As a result, the CSU is required, by Education Code 89702, to deposit all revenue not in connection with bonds or notes into the California State University Facilities Revenue Fund (581). In addition to directing the Health Facilities Fees to a different fund, this change will initiate cross posting of these fees to the campuses for expenditure. Please refer to Attachment A and B for details. Questions should be directed to Mr. Keith Clinkscales, Accounting at (310)Ê951-4610. GAP:KC:df:AD 95-05 Health/DRF-Aux Fee

Attachment A Health Services Fee (581-281) CSU Dormitory Revenue Fund - Auxiliary Facilities (580-263) Accounting & Budgeting Procedures 1) Health Services Fee (581-281) Senate Bill 593 (Education Code Section 89702.1) established the authority to deposit and spend Health Services Fees in the California State University Facilities Revenue Fund (581-281) during 1993/94 and 1994/95 fiscal years. Memorandum BA 93-12, dated November 8, 1993, instructed the campuses to choose to account for the health services fee in either (1) Higher Education Fees and Income (498); and General Fund (001); or (2) California State University Facilities Revenue Fund - Health Services Fee (581-281). Option 2 is not available after June 30, 1995. The campuses will be allowed to spend any balance that remains in the CSU Facilities Revenue Fund-Health Services Fee (581-281) after fiscal year 1994/95. Pursuant to Trustees policy, the remaining fund balance from Health Services Fees in this fund shall be used only to support student health services operations. Effective with Health Services Fees collected for fiscal years beginning in 1995/96, campuses will have to account for the Health Services Fees in Higher Education Fees and Income (498) and the General Fund (001). The existing accounting and budgeting procedures should be followed. 2) Dormitory Revenue Fund - Auxiliary Facilities (580-263) Historically, Health Facilities Fees have been remitted to the Dormitory Revenue Fund-Auxiliary Facilities Fund (580-263) to meet the covenants of the bond resolutions. In January, 1994, all bonds for this program were retired. As a result of the retirement of the bonds, the CSU is now required to deposit all revenue into the California State University Facilities Revenue Fund (581). Effective with Health Facilities Fees collected for fiscal years beginning 1995/96, campuses will account for revenues and expenditures related to this program in the CSU Facilities Revenue Fund-Health Facilities Fee (581-282). Effective with this change in the remittance process, the fees remitted will be automatically cross-posted by the State Controller's Office and available for expenditure by the campus. The Health Facilities Fee has different restrictions than the Health Services Fee. The Health Facilities Fee is restricted by law for the acquisition, construction, and maintenance of student health centers (Education Code Section 89702). Please see Attachment B for accounting and budgeting procedures for the CSU Facilities Revenue Fund- Health Facilities Fee (581-282).
