(1) A fund to be known as the county
social services fund is hereby created and established in each of the counties of
the state of Colorado, which fund shall consist of such accounts as may from time
to time be established pursuant to rules of the state board.

(2) The county social services fund consists of all money appropriated by the
board of county commissioners for public assistance and welfare and related
purposes; all money allotted, allocated, or apportioned to the county by the state
department or the department of early childhood; such funds as are granted to the
state of Colorado by the federal government for public assistance and welfare and
related purposes and allocated to the county by the state department or the
department of early childhood; and such other money as may be provided from time
to time from other sources. The fund is available for the program and administrative
costs of the county department.

(3) (a) The county board shall administer the fund pursuant to rules adopted
by the state department and by the department of early childhood for purposes of
child care assistance. The county treasurer is the treasurer and custodian of the
fund and shall disburse money from the fund only upon special county social
services warrants drawn by the person duly appointed by the county board. The
county treasurer shall not collect any fee as provided in section 30-1-102 for the
collection or deposit of any money in the county social services fund. Warrants
must be signed by one member of the county board, who shall be designated by
resolution for that purpose, and also signed by the person duly appointed by the
county board. Such signatures indicate the approval of the board of county
commissioners and the county board of social services. At such time as Title XVI of
the federal Social Security Act, as amended by Public Law 92-603, becomes
effective, the state board by rule may make other provision for the issuance and
signing of warrants under the old age pension, aid to the blind, and aid to the needy
disabled.

(b) All increased bonding fees necessitated by reason of the custody by the
county treasurer of the county social services fund shall be a part of the
administrative costs of the county department and shall be paid by the county
board.
