  1 11    1.  a.  Except as provided in subsections 2 and 3, the

  1 14 the board by recorded vote.  Each warrant shall be numbered
  1 15 and the date, amount, number, name of the person to whom
  1 16 issued, and the purpose for which the warrant is issued, shall
  1 17 be entered in the county system.  Each warrant shall be made
  1 18 payable to the person performing the service or furnishing the
  1 19 supplies for which the warrant makes payment.
  1 20    b.  The auditor shall not issue a warrant to a drawee until

  1 23 amount, and number of the warrant, name of the person to whom
  1 24 the warrant is issued, and the purpose for which the warrant

  1 28 The requirement that the treasurer sign to acknowledge receipt
  1 29 of the list is satisfied by use of a digital signature or

  1 31 treasurer have complied with the applicable provisions of
  1 32 chapter 554C.
  1 33    c.  The warrant list signed by the treasurer shall be
  1 34 preserved by the auditor for at least two years.  The

  2  3    d.  The requirement that the county auditor sign a warrant

  2  7    e.  In lieu of the auditor issuing a warrant to a drawee,
  2  8 the auditor may issue a warrant payment order to the county

  2 20 auditor.  The original warrant shall be preserved for at least
  2 21 two years.  The requirement that the original warrant be
  2 22 preserved is satisfied by preservation of the warrant in
  2 23 electronic form if the requirements of section 554C.205 are
  2 24 met.  The treasurer shall make monthly reports to show for
  2 25 each warrant the number, date, drawee's name, when paid, to
  2 26 whom paid, original amount, and interest.
