Revenues received from and in connection with such operations, including moneys received from federal, state, municipal and private sources, shall be deposited in the State Treasury to the credit of said fund. The resources of the fund are to be used to pay the direct expenses of operation and maintenance of such facilities and programs and to purchase equipment or otherwise improve facilities. Such payments shall be made by the State Treasurer on warrants issued by the State Comptroller, upon the order of authorized officers of the university. To provide working capital for the fund, moneys may be transferred from The University of Connecticut Health Center Operating Fund established under the provisions of section 10a-105, and not more than five hundred thousand dollars may be transferred from the resources of the General Fund upon the recommendation of the Governor and the approval of the Finance Advisory Committee.

If a sum of less than four hundred thousand dollars is required for such renovations, the difference between the amount required for such renovations and four hundred thousand dollars shall be transferred to the General Fund at such time as such renovations have been completed, or a determination has been made that no renovations are necessary.
