Commission approves $80,000 bonding authorization for library board treasurer
Summary
The commission revoked a prior, incorrect motion and approved a corrected motion allowing the Ellis County Library Board to obtain bonding insurance totaling $80,000 for two board positions; county staff said there is no county expense.
Jennifer Tiget, identified in the record as treasurer with the library board, told commissioners the previous meeting contained a numerical error and clarified that the library's total bonding policy is $80,000 covering two board positions, not the malformed earlier figure.
"The total insurance policy is $80,000," Tiget said, adding that the library's agent provided an updated policy and that the county would not incur an expense. County counselor Bill Jeter said staff reworked the motion language for clarity. The commission moved to revoke the earlier motion related to library board bonding and then approved the corrected authorization.
Why it matters: the correction resolves an earlier administrative error and allows the library board to secure required bonding for its officers.
Provenance: discussion began at SEG 338 and the motion and vote concluded at SEG 416.
