103E.655 PAYMENT OF DRAINAGE SYSTEM COSTS.
    Subdivision 1. Payment made from drainage system account. The costs for a drainage
project proceeding and construction must be paid from the drainage system account by drawing
on the account.
    Subd. 2. Insufficient funds; transfer from other accounts. If money is not available
in the drainage system account on which the warrant is drawn, the board may, by unanimous
resolution, transfer funds from any other drainage system account under its jurisdiction or from
the county general revenue fund to the drainage system account. If the board transfers money
from another account or fund to a drainage system account, the money plus interest must be
reimbursed from the proceeds of the drainage system that received the transfer. The interest
must be computed for the time the money is actually needed at the same rate per year charged
on drainage liens and assessments.
    Subd. 3. Warrant on account with insufficient funds; interest on warrant. If a warrant is
issued by the auditor under this chapter and there is not enough money in the drainage system
account to pay the warrant when it is presented, the county treasurer shall endorse the warrant
"Not paid for want of funds" with the date and treasurer's signature. Interest on the warrant must be
at the rate of six percent per year and paid annually from available funds until the warrant is called
in and paid by the treasurer. Interest may not be paid on a warrant after money is available to the
treasurer to pay the warrants. The warrant is a general obligation of the county issuing the warrant.
