No comments or suggested changes <br />have been received since that time. <br />Currently the City code requires that the City Assessor, Clerk - <br />Treasurer, Administrator, Deputy Clerk -Treasurer and Building <br />Inspector be bonded separately. In 1984, the State Statutes were <br />amended to allow a blanket dishonesty bond to cover all <br />employees. By amending the City Code as proposed, the City <br />Council will establish the requirement for a blanket bond and be <br />able to change the specific dollar amount of the blanket bond by <br />adopting a resolution each time the dollar amount must be <br />changed. <br />Mr. Schumacher noted that the cost of dishonesty bonds will <br />increase by $12.00, however, the blanket bond will cover all <br />employees and the City Council. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to adopt Ordinance No. 18 - 94 as <br />PAGE 4 <br />
