§ 37-41-126 — Claims - audit - payment - financial report

Except with respect
to claims coming within the provisions of article 10 of title 24, C.R.S., no claims shall
be paid by the district treasurer until the same shall have been allowed by the
board, and only upon warrants signed by the president and countersigned by the
secretary, which warrants shall state the date authorized by the board and for what
purposes. If the district treasurer has insufficient funds on hand to pay such
warrant when presented for payment, he shall endorse thereon not paid for want
of funds, this warrant draws interest from date at six percent per annum, and
endorse thereon the date when so presented, over his signature, and from the time
of such presentation until paid such warrant shall draw interest at the rate of six
percent per annum; but when there is the sum of one hundred dollars or more in the
hands of the treasurer, it shall be applied upon said warrant. All claims against the
district shall be verified the same as required in the case of claims filed against
counties in this state, and the secretary of the district is hereby authorized to
administer oaths to the parties verifying said claims the same as the county clerk
and recorder or notary public might do. The district treasurer shall keep a register
in which he shall enter each warrant presented for payment, showing the date and
amount of such warrant, to whom payable, the date of the presentation for
payment, the date of payment, and the amount paid in redemption thereof, and all
warrants shall be paid in the order of their presentation for payment to the district
treasurer. All warrants shall be drawn payable to the claimant or bearer, the same
as county warrants.
