1. In any county in which a county comptroller has not been appointed, every demand against the county, except the salaries of the elective officers of the county whose salaries are fixed by law, must be acted upon by the county commissioners. The demands must be listed on cumulative voucher sheets and a copy presented to each of the members of the board of county commissioners present at their meeting, and mailed to any absent member. When the demands have been approved by a majority of the board of county commissioners, and the cumulative voucher sheets have been signed by the chair and secretary of the board, the demands are valid vouchers upon which the county auditor may issue warrants on the county treasurer to be paid out of money belonging to the county.
2. The county auditor shall satisfy himself or herself whether the money is legally due and remains unpaid, and whether its payment from the treasury is authorized by law, and out of what fund.
3. If the county auditor allows a demand, the county auditor shall endorse upon it the word "allowed," with the name of the fund out of which it is payable, with the date of the allowance, and sign his or her name to it, and draw his or her warrant on the county treasury for the amount allowed.
4. No demand may be approved or allowed unless each item, date and value composing it is endorsed by the order of the board of county commissioners, together with a reference to the law, order, contract or authority by title, date and section authorizing the demand.
5. In any county in which a county comptroller has been appointed:
(a) Every demand against the county, except the salaries of the elective officers of the county whose salaries are fixed by law, contested claims, and requests for refunds payable out of budgeted appropriations, must be listed on cumulative voucher sheets and audited by the county comptroller. The county comptroller shall satisfy himself or herself whether the money demanded is legally due and remains unpaid, and whether its payment is authorized by law. If the demands qualify for payment, warrants must be drawn on the county treasurer in accordance with the listing of the demands on the voucher sheets. The warrants and voucher sheets must be signed by the county comptroller and the county treasurer. A signed copy of the cumulative voucher sheets must be forwarded by the county treasurer to the board of county commissioners.
(b) Demands against the county based on contested claims or requests for refunds payable out of budgeted appropriations must be acted on in accordance with the procedure prescribed in this section for counties in which no comptroller has been appointed.
