(A) If a treasurer is appointed by a board of park commissioners pursuant to section 1545.07 of the Revised Code , the accounts of the board shall be kept by that treasurer.  The treasurer shall be an ex officio officer of the board.  No contract of the board shall become effective until the treasurer certifies that

there are funds of the board sufficient to provide for that contract. (B) If no treasurer is appointed by the board pursuant to section 1545.07 of the Revised Code : (1) All funds under the control of a board of park commissioners shall be kept in depositories

selected in the manner provided for the deposit of county funds, insofar as such proceedings

are applicable, and such deposits shall be secured as provided in the case of county

funds.  The county treasurer of the county in which the park district is located shall be

the custodian of the funds of the board and shall be an ex officio officer of the

board.  He shall pay the funds out upon the warrant of the county auditor of the county

in which the district is located.  Interest earned on all funds under the control of the board of park commissioners

shall be credited to such funds. (2) The county auditor shall be an ex officio officer of the board, and no contract of

the board involving the expenditure of money shall become effective until the auditor

certifies that there are funds of the board in the custody of the county treasurer

and otherwise unappropriated sufficient to provide therefor.  The auditor shall draw warrants on the treasurer to disburse the funds of the board

upon order of the board, evidenced by the certificate of its secretary. (3) Any such board of park commissioners may select a depository for the funds of the

district, in the manner provided in sections 135.01 to 135.21 of the Revised Code , upon the adoption of a resolution declaring such intent.  The resolution shall be certified to the board of county commissioners and to the
