juror during his or her service on a jury.
    The juror fees for service, transportation, and day care
shall be paid out of the county treasury.

fee whenever he is discharged a certificate of the number of
days' attendance at court, and upon presentation thereof to the
county treasurer, he shall pay to the juror the sum provided
for his service.
