§ 29703 Claim Processing And Endorsement

Key Takeaways

  • •When the board decides on a claim, they must write down what they did and sign it.
  • •If the claim is approved (even partly), they must note the date, the amount approved, and where the money comes from.
  • •The board must say if the person getting the money has to accept it as the final payment.
  • •The signed paper is then sent to the auditor.

Example

You ask the city to pay for a pothole that damaged your car.

If the city agrees to pay you $500, they must write it down, sign it, and say if you have to accept that amount and can’t ask for more. Then they send the paper to the money person (auditor).

§ 29703 Claim Processing And Endorsement

When the board acts upon a claim the clerk of the board shall file a memorandum of the action taken and endorse on the claim a statement thereof. If the claim is allowed in whole or in part, the memorandum and endorsement shall state the date of the allowance, the amount of the allowance, and from what fund allowed and whether the board requires the claimant to accept the amount allowed in settlement of the entire claim. The endorsement shall be attested by the clerk with his signature and countersigned by the chairman and the claim, when duly endorsed, attested and countersigned, shall be transmitted by the clerk to the auditor. (Added by renumbering Section 29709 by Stats. 1959, Ch. 1725.)
