Payment of claims.
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 19. Counties and County Officers
No claims shall be paid by the treasurer of the authority until
the same shall have been presented and allowed by the board of
directors. All warrants shall be signed by the chairman of the
board of directors of the authority and countersigned by the clerk.
If the treasurer of the authority has not sufficient money on hand
to pay the warrants when presented, he shall endorse thereon "not
paid for want of funds" and endorse thereon the date presented, over
his signature, and from the time of the presentation until paid such
warrant shall draw interest at the rate not to exceed ten percent
(10%) per annum. All claims against the authority shall be verified
the same as is required in the case of claims filed against the
counties in this state and the clerk of the authority is hereby
authorized and empowered to administer oaths to the parties
verifying such claims the same as a county clerk or notary public
might do. The treasurer of the authority shall keep a register in
which he shall enter each warrant presented for payment, showing the
date and amount of the warrant, to whom payable, the date of the
presentation for payment, the date of payment, and the amount paid
in redemption thereof, and all warrants shall be paid in the order
of their presentation for payment to the treasurer of the authority.
All warrants shall be drawn and payable to the claimant or his
assignee only.
