water conservation and flood control district, Garrison Diversion Conservancy District,
county park district, joint county park district, or irrigation district in the state.
2. The term "warrant" when used in this chapter means an order drawn by the proper

warrant has been signed by the treasurer, or person acting as treasurer, and entered
on the books of the treasurer or person acting as treasurer as a check drawn on a
bank depository.
