     6  cover an allocable portion of the local sponsor's share of the operating
     7  costs of such community college in addition to regular tuition and fees.
     8  Such community college may elect to charge  to  and  collect  from  each
     9  county  within  the state which has issued a certificate or certificates
    10  of residence pursuant to subdivision three of this section on the  basis
    11  of  which  such  non-resident  students  are  attending  such  community
    12  college, an allocable portion of the local sponsor's share of the  oper-
    13  ating  costs of such community college attributable to such non-resident
    14  students, computed on a per student basis, together with a  further  sum
    15  of  not  to  exceed three hundred dollars each year to be determined and
    16  approved by the state university trustees  for  each  such  non-resident
    17  student  on  account  of  the local sponsor's share of the capital costs
    18  incurred to provide facilities in which such non-resident  students  can
    19  be accommodated; or, where such non-resident students come from communi-
    20  ties  which  have elected to participate in and pay an appropriate share
    21  of the expenses  involved  in  the  local  sponsor's  community  college
    22  program,  such  allocable portion of operating expenses and such further
    23  sum not to exceed three hundred dollars per student for capital costs on
