SUBJECT: In the Matter of. Fixing and Self-Insuring the Amount of
llt
Official Bonds
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONt
Adopt a resolution fixing the amount of official bonds and
ordering that the County self-insure those bonds and amend the
County' s public employees ' blanket bond to include the amount of
the official bond of the Treasurer-Tax Collector.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This action eliminates the need for certain public officials
to post separate bonds that cost in excess of $5,000 for four
years coverage. In lieu of bonds, the exposure would be covered
by the County's self-insurance program and by amending the
County' s public employees' blanket bond.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUNDS
Government Code section 24156 allows the County to self-
insure in lieu of bonds for any officer or employee, and section
24154 allows the County to include public officials requiring
official bonds in its master bond. The County currently
maintains a public employees' blanket bond in the amount of
5, 000, 000, with a self-insured deductible of $50, 000 . The
blanket bond covers all County officers and employees, including
those public officials requiring official bonds, but does not
cover the official bonds . The blanket bond can be- amended so
that it includes official bonds above the $50, 000 deductible.
The Risk Manager recommends that the County self-insure official
bonds of $50, 000 or less and amend the blanket bond to include
the official bond of the Treasurer-Tax Collector ($200,000) and
self-insure the $50,000 deductible, thereby eliminating the need
for separate insurance coverage for public officials requiring
official bonds .
