Questions about this bond
Can I rely on the older application with no surety item?
The updated packet and adopted change effective January 1, 2025 require a minimum $25,000 surety. The older February 2008 application does not reflect that change.
Does the April 2023 bond revision mean the minimum is older too?
No. The updated packet includes that bond form alongside the later minimum requirement. Match the accepted instrument and current required sum.
Is the City an additional insured on the bond?
The surety instrument names the City as obligee. Additional-insured status is a separate liability-insurance requirement; do not confuse the documents.
