Section 32127 Of Article 2. Powers From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 23. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 2.

. The hospital district shall establish its own treasury and shall appoint a treasurer charged with the safekeeping and disbursal of the funds in the treasury of the district. The board of directors shall fix the amount of the bond to be given by such treasurer and shall provide for the payment of the premium therefor out of the maintenance and operation fund. All moneys derived from that portion, if any, of the annual tax or assessment levied for capital outlay purposes shall be placed in the capital outlay fund. Any moneys derived from a special tax or assessment levied under Article 3 of Chapter 3 hereof shall be placed in a special assessment fund and shall be used exclusively for the purposes for which such special tax or assessment was voted. All moneys derived from the regular annual tax or assessment provided in Article 1, Chapter 3 hereof, except any part thereof levied for capital outlay purposes, shall be placed in the maintenance and operation fund. All receipts and revenues of any kind from the operation of the hospital shall be paid daily into the treasury of said district and placed in the maintenance and operation fund. Moneys in the maintenance and operation fund may be expended for any of the purposes of the district; provided, however, that no such moneys may be expended for new construction of additional patient bed capacity other than as authorized by Section 32221 hereof. Whenever it appears that the sum in the bond interest and sinking fund will be insufficient to pay the interest or principal of bonds next coming due and payable therefrom, a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest shall be transferred by the board of directors from the maintenance and operation fund to said bond interest and sinking fund. Except as to principal and interest of bonds, moneys in the treasury of the district shall be paid out by the treasurer, or such other officer or officers of the district, including the administrator, as may be authorized by the board. The treasurer shall keep such order as his voucher and shall keep accounts of all receipts into the district treasury and all disbursements therefrom. Where bonds of the district are payable at the office of the district, all receipts from taxes levied to pay the principal and interest of such bonds shall be paid into the treasury of the district, and the treasurer of the district shall pay therefrom the principal and interest of such bonds. Where bonds of the district are payable at the office of the county treasurer of the organizing county, at the option of the holder, or otherwise, all receipts from taxes levied to pay principal and interest of such bonds shall be paid into the treasury of the organizing county and shall be placed by the county treasurer in the bond interest and sinking fund of the district, and he shall pay the principal and interest of such bonds therefrom and shall keep an account of all moneys received into and paid out of said fund. Any moneys in the treasury of the district and any moneys of the district in the bond interest and sinking fund of the district in the treasury of the organizing county may be deposited in accordance with the provisions of the general laws of the State of California governing the deposit of public moneys of cities or counties in such bank or banks in the State of California as may be authorized to receive deposits of public funds, in the same manner and upon the same security as public moneys of cities and counties are deposited in such banks, and with like force and effect. The board of directors of the district are authorized to create a revolving fund which fund shall not exceed the sum of 10 percent of the estimated annual expenditures of the district at any one time and which shall be used for the purpose of paying the interim expenses of the operation of any hospital within the district without the necessity of a written order signed by the president and countersigned by the secretary as provided herein. The treasurer is authorized to deposit said fund in such bank or banks in the county as may be authorized to receive deposits of public funds in the same manner and upon the same security as public moneys of cities and counties are deposited in such banks and with like force and effect, and shall be subject to withdrawal upon the signature of the treasurer, or such other official of the district as may be authorized by the board of directors, for the use and purpose provided for herein.
