There is hereby created in the treasury of the county a fund to be known
as the county park and recreation fund. All moneys raised from taxes for
park and recreation purposes shall be credited to this fund. All moneys
raised as the result of contracts, leases, concessions, gifts or otherwise
in the operation of the said county parks, parkways, lakes and recreational
areas, shall be credited to the county park and recreation fund. The county
board of park commissioners shall meet on or before the first day of June
in each year for the purpose of preparing the county park and recreation
budget, which budget shall be filed with the board of county commissioners
on or before the fifteenth day of June in each year. The board of county
commissioners shall examine such budget and if the same shall be within the
limitations of the statutes the board of county commissioners shall approve
the same and cause such ad valorem levy to be made as provided by law.
Disbursements of the fund thus created shall be by voucher, approved by the
county board of park commissioners, and signed by the president or
vice-president and the manager of the county board of park commissioners,
which vouchers shall be paid in the same manner as are other county
vouchers, and shall be subject to the same auditing procedure as are other
county vouchers.
