Commissioners discuss 'blanket bonding' for treasurer's office staff; no action taken
Summary
The court discussed guidance from TAC suggesting staff in the treasurer's office should be bonded in a manner similar to the treasurer (a 'blanket' bond). County staff said they are seeking details from TAC Legal and insurers; no formal action was taken.
Commissioners discussed whether the treasurer’s office staff must carry a blanket bond similar to the treasurer’s bond after Commissioner Ray flagged language in a guidance document from the Texas Association of Counties (TAC). County staff reported they had asked TAC Legal for clarification and described the term used in TAC as a 'blanket shirted bond' or similar condition.
Staff said they had not yet determined whether the bond requires naming specific employees or provides broader coverage for any employee in the department, and that they were awaiting additional information from the insurer and TAC Legal. The chair said no formal motion was required and the court would revisit the item when more information is available.
