submit a bond.the oath should be attached to the bond and both documents
should go to the city council for approval,and to the clerk for filing.
Official bonds
Minn.Stat.§412.111. State'statutes require the treasurer and clerk to famish bonds.In addition,
the statutes authorize the council to require a bond from any other officer or
See League mono.Official
Bonds and Oaths of City employee.
Officers and Employees.65-2,
The city should always require a bond if the employee handles substantial
amounts of money or property that is readily convertible into money.In
some cases,the city may find it desirable to bond major administrative
officers as well,even though they do not directly handle money.Many
cities bond the city manager,finance director,deputy clerk,department
heads,and other similar administrative officials.
Minn.Stat.§412.151.subd.2 In addition,if the council designates all or part of the clerk's bookkeeping
duties to another officer or employee,that officer or employee must furnish
a fidelity bond.
Premium payments
Minn.Stat.§412.111; State law allows the council to pay the premium on the bond from city •
Minn.Stat.§412.151.subd.2. funds,although the council could require officers or employees to obtain
the bonds and pay the premium themselves.
Amount of bond
The law does not set a schedule for any particular class of officials or
employees.The amount of bond coverage is up to the city council.A city
may set the amount of bond coverage under one of several ways.One way
is to set the bond amount as approximately equal to the largest amount of
money on hand at any one time.
The Government Finance Officers Association recommends using a
formula to determine the officer's"exposure index."This formula takes 10
percent of the sum of the city's total annual revenue,adds it to the market
value of negotiable securities under the official's control,and matches the
resulting figure to a recommended bond amount.Further information on
this formula is available from the League of Minnesota Cities.
Kind of bond
Minn.Stat.§412.111. The bonds that the clerk and treasurer furnish must be corporate surety
bonds.Bonds of all other officers or employees may be either corporate or
personal surety bonds.Corporate bonds,however,are becoming more and
more common.
