§ 13123 Reserve Fund Withdrawal Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Money in the reserve fund can only be taken out with the accountant's signature.
  • •The board can allow payments without the accountant's signature for three things: paying back bonds when they're due, paying interest on bonds, or paying extra money if bonds are paid back early.
  • •For bonds, you must show the actual bond or coupon to get the money.

Example

A school district has a reserve fund for bonds they issued to build a new school. The bonds are due to be paid back this year.

Normally, the accountant must sign to take money out of the reserve fund. But the board can say it's okay to pay back the bonds without the accountant's signature if the bonds are shown to the treasurer.
