Ohio Revised Code Title LI. Public Welfare § 5153.46

In the interim, between the selection and purchase of a site, and the erection and occupancy of the district children's home, the joint board of county commissioners provided by section 5153.36 of the Revised Code may delegate to board of trustees appointed under section 5153.39 of the Revised Code, such powers and duties as, in its judgment, will be of general interest or aid to the institution. Such joint board of county commissioners may appropriate a trustees' fund, to be expended by the board of trustees in payment of such contracts, purchases, or other expenses necessary to the wants or requirements of the home, which are not otherwise provided for. The board of trustees shall make a complete settlement with the joint board of county commissioners once each six months, or quarterly if required, and shall make a full report of the condition of the home and inmates, as provided by section 5153.14 of the Revised Code.
