15   college establishes the need and the amount of
16   necessary increased cost.
17     f.  Unique problems of community colleges to
18   include vandalism, civil disobedience, and other costs
19   incurred by community colleges.

32   committee as requested for the accomplishment of
33   review or hearing constitutes justification for the
34   committee to instruct the department of revenue and
35   finance to withhold supplemental state aid to that
36   community college until the committee's inquiries are
37   satisfied completely.

42   subsection 3 by March 15, 1982, and March 15, 1983,
43   may certify for levy by April 15, 1997, and April 15,
44   1998, a tax on taxable property in the merged area at
45   rates that will provide total revenues for the two
46   years equal to five percent of the area school's
47   general fund expenditures for the fiscal year ending

49   that area school.  As nearly as possible, one-half the
50   revenue for the cash reserve fund shall be collected
