. The board may adopt forms for the submission and payment of
claims and may prescribe and adopt warrant forms separate from claim
forms, to the end that the approved claims may be retained in the
auditor's office as vouchers supporting the warrants issued. The
forms so adopted may not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
article or of any other statutes or regulations expressly governing
any such claims or the presentation thereof, and shall provide:
(a) For the approval of the officer directing the expenditure. In
counties having a system under which expenditures may be initiated by
requisition, the approval may be omitted from claims initiated by
requisition.
(b) For the approval of the purchasing agent or other officers
issuing the purchase order under which the charge was incurred, or
having charge of contracts or schedules of salaries under which the
claim arose.
(c) For the approval of at least one member of the board. In lieu
of the supervisor's approval on each claim there may be substituted
duplicate lists of claims allowed, showing, as to each claim, the
name of the claimant, the amount allowed, and the date of allowance.
The lists shall be certified to the board by the clerk of the board
or other competent officer or employee designated by it for the
purpose, as being a true list of claims properly and regularly coming
before the board. Upon allowance of claims each of the lists, after
amendment if necessary, shall be certified to as having been allowed
by the board, the date allowed, and that such lists are correct by
one member of the board or by the clerk of the board and filed, one
in the office of the clerk of the board and one in the office of the
auditor. When filed the lists constitute respectively the "allowance
book" and the "warrant book." If the allowance book is dispensed with
by the board of supervisors under the authority of Section 25102, a
single list of claims may be substituted in lieu of a supervisor's
approval on each claim, which list shall be processed and certified
as required for duplicate lists and shall be filed in the office of
the county auditor as the warrant book.
(d) For the certificate of the clerk of the board as to the date
and amount of allowance of the claim by the board. If the duplicate
lists of claims allowed are filed, the certificate may be omitted,
but in its stead there shall appear on each claim a reference by
date, number, or otherwise to the list on which the claim appears
listed as allowed.
(e) For the certificate of the clerk of the board or of the
auditor as to the correctness of the computations.
(f) For the auditor's approval.
