L. 2010: Entire section amended,(HB 10-1062), ch. 161, p. 563, § 24, effective August 11.    ANNOTATION   The bond of the county treasurer is the measure of his duties as treasurer, and is the contract covering his duties and all those in his employ performing the duties of the office. Goss v. Bd. of Comm'rs, 4 Colo. 468 (1878).   Under this section neither a deputy treasurer nor clerk gives a bond to the public for the faithful performance of the duties he undertakes, and the relation of debtor and creditor between the county and the treasurer is unaffected by the circumstance that the duties of the latter are discharged by deputy or clerical agency, and there is no such privity between the county or the public, and the deputy or clerk, as to create an implied contract between them in the face of an express contract between the treasurer and the public, embracing the duties of the office by whomsoever performed. Goss v. Bd. of Comm'rs, 4 Colo. 468 (1878).   The money received by the treasurer by virtue of his office belongs to the county. McClure v. Bd. of Comm'rs, 19 Colo. 122 , 34 P. 763 (1893).   It constitutes a trust fund, which, if diverted or misappropriated, may be recovered in an action upon his bond, or the county may, if it elects, treat it as a trust fund and follow it wherever it can be traced. McClure v. Bd. of Comm'rs, 19 Colo. 122 , 34 P. 763 (1893).   Interest due and sureties liable. Money in the hands of a county treasurer belonging to a county, and not turned over to his successor at the time the latter assumed the duties of the office, would draw interest at the legal rate from that date, and the sureties on his official bond are liable to the county for such money with interest.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 30 - Government - County|Article 10 - County Officers|Part 7 - Treasurer|§ 30-10-704. Chief Deputy Treasurer - Duties

 The county treasurer may appoint a chief deputy, who in the absence of the treasurer from his or her office, or in case of vacancy in said office, for any disability of the treasurer to perform the duties of his or her office, may perform all the duties of the office of treasurer, until such vacancy is filled or such disability removed. All acts of a chief deputy treasurer shall have the same effect as though performed by the county treasurer.   History. Source: G.L. § 528. G.S. § 632. R.S. 08: § 1318. C.L. § 8792.

While this section provides that a county treasurer may appoint a deputy, there is no law fixing the term of office of such a deputy, and with his compensation and term of office the public has nothing to do. Tureck v. Bd. of County Comm'rs, 108 Colo. 347 , 117 P.2d 315 (1941).   There being no contractual privity between one acting as deputy county treasurer and the public, in a suit by such a deputy against the county commissioners for salary alleged to be due him, it was held, in the circumstances of the case, that the trial court properly directed a verdict in favor of defendants. Tureck v. Bd. of County Comm'rs, 108 Colo. 347 , 117 P.2d 315 (1941).   The authority to remove or suspend county agents, in the absence of statutes otherwise providing, rests in the appointing power, and as relating to a deputy county treasurer, there is in Colorado no ”statutes otherwise providing“.

  In case the office of county treasurer becomes vacant, the board of county commissioners shall appoint a suitable person to perform the duties of the treasurer. Except as provided in subsection (2) of this section, the person so appointed shall give bond with like sureties and conditions as that required in county treasurers' bonds and in such sum as the board shall direct and shall be invested with all the duties of the treasurer, until such vacancy is filled or such disability removed.    In lieu of the bond required by subsection (1) of this section, a county may purchase crime insurance coverage on behalf of the appointee to the office of treasurer to protect the people of the county from any malfeasance on the part of the treasurer while in office.

  The county treasurer shall keep a just and true account of the receipt and expenditure of all moneys that come into his or her hands by virtue of the office, in books to be kept by the treasurer for that purpose, which books shall be open at all times for the inspection of the board of county commissioners, or any member thereof, and to all county and state officers; and, at the meetings in July and January of the board of county commissioners, or at such other time as the board may direct, the treasurer shall settle with said board his or her account as treasurer, and, for that purpose, the treasurer shall exhibit to said board all his or her books, accounts, and all vouchers relating to the same, to be audited and allowed.    In addition to the audit described in subsection (1) of this section, the treasurer may periodically cause to be performed an audit of the operations and accounts of the county treasurer's office.    If a recommendation or finding is contained in the final report of any audit conducted pursuant to subsection (1) or (2) of this section or section 29-1-603, C.R.S., the treasurer shall promptly address the recommendation or finding and shall report to the board of county commissioners regarding the disposition of the recommendation or finding no later than ninety days after the issuance of the final audit report. If a treasurer fails to address a recommendation or finding or fails to report to the board as required by this subsection (3), the board may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for an order compelling the treasurer to comply with the provisions of this subsection (3). If the court issues an order compelling the treasurer to comply with the provisions of this subsection (3) and the treasurer fails to comply, the treasurer shall be subject to penalties for contempt of the court issuing the order.

 It is the duty of the county treasurer to apportion and keep all taxes collected by him or her in the several funds for which the taxes were levied, and it shall not be lawful to use the moneys belonging to any fund for the purpose of paying warrants drawn upon some other fund or for the purpose of paying warrants issued before April 2, 1998, which properly should have been drawn upon some other fund; but the amount of interest gained through the investment of county funds, regardless of the origin of such funds, may be credited to the general fund of the county by the county treasurer, unless such investment is made from specific funds allocated for a definite purpose and so maintained.
