At any time within five years from the date on which the original warrant was issued, the payee or assignee may declare by affidavit that such warrant was not received, or has been lost or destroyed. The auditor-controller is authorized to draw a replacement warrant in any case where the Auditor-Controller possesses records, which independently verify that the warrant has not been previously replaced and it would be inequitable or unreasonable not to draw the replacement warrant, and money is available in the County budget to make such payment on the indebtedness.
