Article 6. Rents, Rates, Fees, And Charges of California Government Code >> Title 7.8. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 6.

(a) If the department contracts with a developer for the design, construction, operation, and management of the regional transit terminal, the contract shall require the developer to make annual payments to the commission sufficient in amount to meet all obligations assumed by the commission under the provisions of any bond indenture, including, but not limited to, annual interest, principal payments, and operating and maintenance costs of the terminal.
  (b) If the department itself undertakes operation of the regional transit terminal, it shall fix rents, rates, fees, and charges for occupancy or use of the facilities thereof in compliance with the terms of any applicable indenture.
Subject to such contractual obligations as may be entered into by the commission and the holders of bonds issued under this chapter, the department is authorized to change such rates, rents, fees, and charges from time to time as conditions warrant.
All rates, rents, fees, and charges shall comply with the provisions of any applicable indenture. The bond redemption and interest payments shall, to the extent provided in the indenture, constitute a first, direct and exclusive charge and lien on all such rates, rents, fees, charges, and other revenues and interest thereon received from the use and operation of the regional transit terminal, and on any sinking or other funds created therefrom; and all such rates, rents, fees, charges, and other revenues, together with interest thereon, shall constitute a trust fund for the security and payment of such bonds and, except as and to the extent provided in the indenture with respect to the payment therefrom of expenses for other purposes including administration, operation, maintenance, improvements or extensions of the regional transit terminal or other purposes, shall not be used or pledged for any other purpose so long as such bonds, or any of them, are outstanding and unpaid.
The commission may provide in an indenture that the rates, rents, fees, and charges established are minimum rates, rents, fees, and charges and subject to increase or decrease in accordance only with the terms of the indenture.
