allocation

(1)

The commissioner is directed, and it is his duty, to ascertain each year, from reports of the inspectors and other sources, the approximate amount of land and highways infested with the most troublesome noxious weeds, insect pests, or plant diseases, and their location, and transmit such information tabulated by counties, not later than July 1 of each year, to the board of county commissioners of each county affected by such infestation. On the basis of such information, the board of county commissioners of each county may make a tax levy each year on real property for the purpose of paying the cost of noxious weed, insect pest, or plant disease control or eradication in a district of the county as provided by this section, but such levy shall not exceed two mills in any one year.

(2)

Moneys collected from such levy shall be set apart as a pest control fund, and moneys derived from a particular district shall be used only in that district, and moneys derived on a countywide basis shall be used for the whole county. Vouchers shall be drawn against said fund by the board for items of expense incident to the control or eradication of noxious weeds, insect pests, or plant diseases in the county or in any such district. Such expenditures and accounts shall be audited annually.
