Title 2 ADMINISTRATION AND PERSONNEL
Chapter 2.16 CITY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES GENERALLY
2.16.040 Bond--Required.
The commission is authorized to fix by resolution the amount and condition
of any surety bond to be given by any officer or employee of the city before
entering upon the duties of his or her office or employment. Except as may
otherwise be required by law, the bond shall be conditioned for the faithful
performance of all the duties of his or her office or the officer or employee
executing the same. The commission may, at its discretion, increase the amount
of any bond or may require bonds of other officers or employees as it may deem
expedient; provided, that each member of the board of commissioners shall,
before entering upon the duties of his or her office, give a good and sufficient
surety bond for each term of office to be executed by a responsible bonding
company authorized to do business in Kansas, payable to and for the use and
benefit of the city in the sum of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00), conditioned
for the faithful discharge of his or her duties, and that he or she will save
the city harmless from all loss caused by his or her neglect of duty or
malfeasance in office, or for the wilful expenditure or misappropriation of any
moneys, property or equities of such city in violation of law; the bonds in each
case before being accepted shall be approved by a judge of the district court in
and for Butler County; provided further, that the city manager shall give a like
bond to be approved by the board of commissioners in the amount of five thousand
dollars ($5,000.00) and with the same conditions as is prescribed for the board
of commissioners. The cost of such surety bonds required to be given by the
board of commissioners, the city manager and all other officers and employees of
the city required to furnish such bonds, shall be borne by the city. (Prior code
