Claims against the county that are within the amount of line items of the county
budget and arise pursuant to contracts duly authorized by the fiscal court shall
be paid by the county judge/executive by a warrant drawn on the county and
co-signed by the county treasurer.
The county judge/executive shall present all claims to the fiscal court for review
prior to payment and the court, for good cause shown, may order that a claim
not be paid.
The fiscal court may adopt an order, called a standing order, to preapprove the
payment of recurrent monthly payroll and utility expenses. No other expenses
shall be preapproved pursuant to this subsection without the written consent of
the state local finance officer. Notwithstanding KRS 68.020(1), payment of
preapproved expenses may be made by means of electronic funds transfers
from an authorized account of the county without the cosignatures of the
county judge/executive and the county treasurer if approved by the fiscal court
in a standing order, and if the fiscal court has received the payee's prior written
consent for the payment of funds by electronic funds transfer due the payee.
All standing orders adopted by the fiscal court shall be renewed annually and
submitted to the state local finance officer by July 1 of each fiscal year with the
submission of the county budget if the fiscal court wishes to continue the
standing order. Otherwise, after July 1, the standing order shall expire, and no
more payments designated in the standing order shall be preapproved unless a
new order is adopted by the fiscal court according to the provisions of this
subsection.
