§ 29707 County Board Member Claims

Key Takeaways

  • •If a county board member asks for money (like for travel or work), they must list exactly what they spent or did.
  • •The county's lawyer must check the request and say if it's allowed by law.
  • •If the lawyer says any part of the request is not allowed, that part gets rejected.

Example

A county board member asks for $200 for driving to meetings.

They must write down each trip and prove they really drove. The county lawyer checks it. If the lawyer says one trip wasn’t for work, that part won’t get paid.

Any claim against the county presented by a member of the board for per diem and mileage or for service rendered by him shall be itemized, verified, and state that the expense was actually incurred or the service was actually rendered. Before allowance, any such claim shall be presented to the district attorney or county counsel, who shall endorse upon it his written opinion as to its legality. If the district attorney or county counsel declares the claim or any part thereof illegal, he shall state specifically wherein it is illegal, and the claim or such part shall be rejected by the board.
