1997 Minnesota Statutes

     383.03 Warrant to show purpose and fund.  

    In each warrant drawn by the county auditor on the county 
 treasurer, the county auditor shall state the purpose for which 
 it was issued and the fund from which it is to be paid, which, 
 in all cases, shall be the fund upon which such warrant may be 
 legally drawn.  When a contract is awarded, the board shall, by 
 resolution, make an appropriation for its payment out of the 
 proper fund.  The auditor shall thereupon draw a warrant on such 
 fund, and charge the same thereto, and deliver it to the 
 treasurer, who shall forthwith pay it by check, which shall be 
 immediately endorsed by the auditor and returned to the 
 treasurer.  The treasurer shall receipt for such warrant, 
 specifying the appropriation under a suitable name, and 
 designating the purpose for which it has been made.  The auditor 
 shall open a special account with each appropriation by 
 crediting the amount to such special account under the general 
 head of "Appropriation."
