Any money deposited in the State Treasury pursuant to Section 10 of the act of Congress referred to in Section 8551 of this code and apportioned to any county or counties of this State as herein provided shall be expended by and within each of such counties solely for range improvements and for control of predators; and it shall be the duty of the county auditor of any county receiving a payment of such money immediately to credit the same to an account in the proper fund on his books earmarked and available only for expenditures for range improvements and for control of predators.

There is in each county in which there are public lands leased to five or more lessees under Section 15 of the act referred to in Section 8551 of this code a grazing advisory board. The members of such board shall be appointed by the board of supervisors of the county. The members of the committee shall be selected from candidates recommended by the lessees of land in the county under Section 15 of the act referred to in Section 8551 of this code at an election conducted in the manner prescribed by rule and regulation of the board of supervisors of the county. There shall be not less than five nor more than 12 such lessees on such committee and there shall be one additional member to represent the interests of wildlife conservation. The terms of the members of the committee shall be three years except that of the members first appointed the terms shall be arranged so that those of one-third of the members, as nearly as may be, will expire at the end of the first, second, and third years, respectively. An appointment to fill a vacancy shall be for the unexpired term. The members of the advisory grazing board shall receive no compensation and no reimbursement for any personal expenses. Said board shall meet at least once annually and shall recommend to the board of supervisors plans or projects of range development and predator control for which money derived from leases under Section 15 of the act referred to in Section 8551 of this code is to be expended.
