When there is in the treasury, to the credit of any fund, five hundred dollars or more, against which fund there are any outstanding and unpaid lawful warrants or orders, the county treasurer shall immediately give public notice of the fact by a written notice posted for thirty days at the outer door of the office of the treasurer.

Such notice shall be dated at the county seat, be signed by the treasurer, and a record of the same be kept in the office of the treasurer in a book provided for that purpose; and such books shall be open to inspection and examination at all reasonable hours. Such funds shall be held by the county treasurer for the payment of the warrants and orders called by him, until the expiration of six years from the date of registry of such warrants and orders, when the same shall be paid out upon such other warrants or orders as are entitled to payment on the day of the expiration of the six years.(3) The treasurer shall pay by electronic transfer any written authorization issued by the board of county commissioners directing the treasurer to make payment of claims against the county electronically.(4) Payment of county warrants and orders by electronic transfer shall be made only after the treasurer approves the release of funds for such electronic transfer.(5) For purposes of this part 7, "order" means all orders and authorizations issued by the board of county commissioners for the payment of claims against the county.
