CA Gov't Code Section 29390.1

By resolution, the board of supervisors may provide that an application to have a shortage in county funds replenished shall be made with the auditor of the county instead of with the board and may authorize the auditor to perform the functions of the board to replenish the shortage. In the event the board authorizes the auditor to perform such functions of the board, the auditor shall render a written report and give an account to the board of shortage reimbursements at the end of the fiscal year and at such other times as the board directs.
