The special checking account shall be maintained in a county depository pursuant to this chapter. The board may replenish such account as often as necessary upon the presentation by the service organization of documentation for claims paid equal to the amount of the requested reimbursement. Such replenishment shall be made by a warrant signed by the chair of the board and attested by the clerk or secretary of the board.
