                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PETTY CASH FUNDS (§ 15.2-1229)

Whenever the governing body of any county determines that more efficient
administration would be promoted thereby, it may by resolution establish one or
more petty cash funds not exceeding $5,000 each for the payment of claims
arising from commitments made pursuant to law. Any person into whose hands any
such fund is placed may pay such claims therefrom, without necessity of prior
receipt and audit of the claims by the governing body and without approval and
issuance of the warrant of the governing body or the county treasurer. Such
person shall render an account of the same and make a settlement thereof
annually in form and manner prescribed by the Auditor of Public Accounts. Such
person shall give bond with surety in the amount of $10,000; however, additional
bond shall not be required of any person already bonded in the required amount.
