         1.  County boards of supervisors which singly or in conjunction
      with one or more other counties provide and maintain juvenile
      detention and juvenile shelter care homes are subject to this
      section.
         2.  For the purpose of providing and maintaining a county or
      multicounty home, the board of supervisors of any county may issue
      general county purpose bonds in accordance with sections 331.441 to
      331.449.  Expenses for providing and maintaining a multicounty home
      shall be paid by the counties participating in a manner to be
      determined by the boards of supervisors.
         3.  A county or multicounty juvenile detention home approved
      pursuant to this section shall receive financial aid from the state
      in a manner approved by the director.  Aid paid by the state shall be
      at least ten percent and not more than fifty percent of the total
      cost of the establishment, improvements, operation, and maintenance
      of the home.
         4.  The director shall adopt minimal rules and standards for the
      establishment, maintenance, and operation of such homes as shall be
      necessary to effect the purposes of this chapter.  The rules shall
      apply the requirements of section 237.8, concerning employment and
      evaluation of persons with direct responsibility for a child or with
      access to a child when the child is alone and persons residing in a
      child foster care facility, to persons employed by or residing in a
      home approved under this section.  The director shall, upon request,
      give guidance and consultation in the establishment and
      administration of the homes and programs for the homes.
         5.  The director shall approve annually all such homes established
      and maintained under the provisions of this chapter.  A home shall
      not be approved unless it complies with minimal rules and standards
      adopted by the director and has been inspected by the department of
      inspections and appeals.
         6.  A juvenile detention home fund is created in the state
      treasury under the authority of the department.  The fund shall
      consist of moneys deposited in the fund pursuant to sections 321.218A
      and 321A.32A.  The moneys in the fund shall be used for the costs of
      the establishment, improvement, operation, and maintenance of county
      or multicounty juvenile detention homes in accordance with annual
      appropriations made by the general assembly from the fund for these
      purposes.
