§ 18.03. Bonds and officers.

—The county administrator shall give bond payable to the county, in the amount of not less than $5,000. The treasurer shall give bond to the amount of not less than fifteen percent of the amount of money to be received by him annually, but he shall not be required to give bond in excess of $5 million dollars except as hereinafter provided. The board of supervisors shall have the power to fix bonds in excess of these amounts and to require bonds of other county officers in their discretion, conditioned on the faithful discharge of their duties and the proper accounting for all funds coming into their possession. In regard to county officers other than himself and the treasurer, the county administrator shall have the authority to fix and require bonds in the absence of such action by the board of supervisors.
