(1) A fund to be known as the "county social services fund" is hereby created and established in each of the counties of the state of Colorado, which fund shall consist of such accounts as may from time to time be established pursuant to rules of the state board.
(2) The county social services fund shall consist of all moneys appropriated by the board of county commissioners for public assistance and welfare and related purposes; all moneys allotted, allocated, or apportioned to the county by the state department; such funds as are granted to the state of Colorado by the federal government for public assistance and welfare and related purposes and allocated to the county by the state department; and such other moneys as may be provided from time to time from other sources. The fund shall be available for the program and administrative costs of the county department.
(3) (a) The county board shall administer the fund pursuant to rules adopted by the state department. The county treasurer shall be the treasurer and custodian of the fund and shall disburse money from the fund only upon special county social services warrants drawn by the person duly appointed by the county board. The county treasurer shall not collect any fee as provided in section 30-1-102, C.R.S., for the collection or deposit of any moneys in the county social services fund. Warrants shall be signed by one member of the county board, who shall be designated by resolution for that purpose, and also signed by the person duly appointed by the county board. Such signatures shall indicate the approval of the board of county commissioners and the county board of social services. At such time as Title XVI of the social security act, as amended by Public Law 92-603, becomes effective, the state board by rule may make other provision for the issuance and signing of warrants under the old age pension, aid to the blind, and aid to the needy disabled.
(b) All increased bonding fees necessitated by reason of the custody by the county treasurer of the county social services fund shall be a part of the administrative costs of the county department and shall be paid by the county board.
