Statute Text
Warrants to pay claims; interest; assessments to pay warrants; limitation on
amount of warrants.
All claims against the corporation shall be paid by warrants drawn on the
treasurer of the corporation and signed by the president and secretary of the
board of directors. If any warrant is not paid when presented to the treasurer
of the board of directors, because of lack of funds in the treasury, that fact
shall be indorsed on the warrant and the warrant shall draw interest thereafter
at a rate determined by the board until there is money in hand to pay the
amount of the warrant and the interest then accumulated. No interest shall be
allowed on warrants after sufficient funds are in the treasury to pay the
indorsed warrants and interest. The secretary of the board shall give notice to
the payee or other holder if known whenever sufficient funds are available to
pay outstanding warrants. Warrants shall be numbered, drawn against the proper
fund, and paid from such fund in the order of issuance. The board of directors
shall levy an assessment each year of sufficient amount of money to pay the
outstanding warrants. No warrants shall be issued the payment of which in the
ensuing year inclusive of the assessments required for all other purposes will
exceed the annual assessment limit fixed in the landowners recorded notice, or
the aggregate indebtedness of which with all other indebtedness for other
purposes than operation and maintenance will exceed the total benefits to
accrue to the land described in the articles of incorporation as stated in the
recorded landowners notice. [Amended by 1981 c.94 §51]
