§ 2.07. Official Bonds.

Whenever an officer is required by the provisions of this Code or other ordinance to give bond in a named sum, such bond shall be taken to mean a bond with surety or sureties to be approved by the City Council, in such a penal sum payable to the City and conditioned that such officer shall faithfully perform the duties of his office during the term for which he has been elected or appointed and until his successor shall be duly qualified. If such officer is one whose duty it is to receive monies of the City, such bond shall be further conditioned, especially that he will during the same period well and truly account for and pay over all monies of the City, received by him as such officer, according as the same ought to be accounted for and paid over. The existing laws and ordinances relative to the duties or obligations of any officer shall enter into and form a part of the condition of his bond, whether set forth or referred to in such bond or not. Such bond must be given before the officer performs any of the duties of the office.
