11-145. Payment of costs of county
formation


A. All costs of the secretary of state and of the commission under this article are
charges against the affected county or counties before their termination and against the
new counties after their organization. Costs which can be identified with a specific
county shall be charged against that county, but otherwise the costs shall be apportioned
between the counties according to their respective assessed valuations.


B. All claims for payment shall be made through the secretary of state to the
department of administration. Each month the department of administration shall certify
the amounts of the claims to the state treasurer and the treasurer shall withhold and pay
the amounts from the monies otherwise payable to the respective counties under section
42-5029, except that the amount withheld shall not exceed one-half of the amount payable
to the county in any month. The treasurer shall continue to withhold monies from county
payments until all claims under this article are satisfied.
