County treasurer - accounts - warrants

(1) It is the duty of the county treasurer to keep separate accounts by funds and subsidiary accounts for the bond redemption fund of each district in his county, and said funds and accounts shall be subject to the warrants of said district. The tax revenues shall be credited to the proper fund and account, together with any penalty interest collected thereon. (2) If only a portion of a district is situate within the territorial limits of said county and the headquarters of said district are not located therein, the county treasurer shall transfer, at the end of each month, all moneys which have accrued to the credit of said district to the county treasurer of the county wherein the headquarters of said district is located. No warrant shall be drawn by a district situate in more than one county against its moneys except against those moneys in the custody of the county treasurer of the county wherein the district headquarters is located. (3) If a district warrant is presented to the county treasurer of a district situate in his county and there are no moneys or insufficient moneys to the credit of said district in the proper fund or account thereof to pay such warrant, it is the duty of said county treasurer to register such warrants in the order of presentment and endorse each such warrant "no funds". Registered warrants shall draw interest from the date of such registration and endorsement at the rate and in the manner as registered county warrants. The county treasurer shall keep a list of all warrants so registered and endorsed and furnish a copy of said list to the treasurer of said district. The county treasurer shall pay both the principal and interest of said warrants, in the order of registration, when there are sufficient moneys to the credit of the district fund or account upon which any such warrant was drawn. It is his duty to cause to be published in a newspaper with general distribution in said district for five days a notice that certain district warrants, describing said warrants by numbers and amounts, will be paid upon presentation at the expiration of said five-day notice, at which time said warrants shall cease to bear interest. (4) It is unlawful for a district to issue warrants in excess of the amount budgeted or appropriated to or the anticipated revenues for any fund, whichever is less, for said district's fiscal year whether or not the board of trustees of said district has elected to withdraw its moneys from the custody of the county treasurer. (5) It is the duty of the county treasurer to cancel all paid district warrants with a proper canceling stamp and indicate the date of payment thereof.
