§ 24889 District Demand Payment Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can let some payments happen without checking each one first.
  • •This only works if the board already said 'yes' to spending money for that thing.
  • •The payment can't be more than what the board already agreed to spend.
  • •The general manager has to say 'okay' to the payment.

Example

The school board already agreed to spend $10,000 on new computers for the year. Now, the school needs to buy 5 computers for $2,000.

The school doesn't have to ask the board again to buy the computers because the board already said 'yes' to spending money on computers. The general manager can just say 'okay' to buy them, as long as it's not more than $10,000.

The board may provide by resolution, under such terms and conditions as it sees fit, for the payment of demands against the district without prior specific approval thereof by the board if the demand is for a purpose for which an expenditure has been previously approved by the board and in an amount no greater than the amount so authorized, and if the demand is approved by the general manager.
