AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Semi-annual examination of public official bonds for County
Commissioners and Constitutional Officers pursuant to F. S. 137.05 and § 2-28 of the Monroe
County Code and finding that all current bonds and/or insurance policies are adequate.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Section 137.05, Florida Statutes, requires that each of the 67 County
Commissions examine the sufficiency of the bonds for County officers in their respective Counties
every January and June. This statute affords each Commission the discretion to determine if the
current bonds are sufficient, and to require a new bond if the Board has reason to believe thatany of
the current bonds have become impaired.
Pursuant to § 2-28 of the Monroe County Code, the minimum bond amounts are as follows:
a) Clerk of the Circuit Court $ 5,000
b) Sheriff $15,000
c) Tax Collector $50,000
d) Property Appraiser $10,000
e) County Commissioners $ 2,000
f) Supervisor of Elections $ 5,000
Section 2-28(2) authorizes the County Commission to waive the requirements for an officer to
purchase a bond if the officer purchases appropriate insurance coverage in excess of the required
bond amount.
The County currently maintains sufficient insurance coverage for its county commissioners to satisfy
the requirements of the ordinance. Documentation of coverage for all constitutional officers is
included in the attached agenda backup.
At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that any of the current bonds are impaired or are likely
to become impaired.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: BOCC semi-annual examination every January and
June.

(2)Insurance coverage in lieu of bond.The commission may waive the requirement for a county

services of that officer and his/her employees. The county commission shall approve each
