23. Approve Public Officials Performance Bonds

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

This item concerns the required annual review of public officials' performance bonds by the Lee Board of County Commissioners. These bonds are surety bonds that ensure public officials faithfully perform their duties. The review happens twice a year, in January and June, as required by Florida Statute and a local county ordinance. This process involves examining the sufficiency of existing bonds for elected officials. No new construction or development is proposed in this agenda item. The opportunity for local businesses lies in providing surety bond services, which are essential for public officials to fulfill their statutory obligations. Early engagement with county officials or departments responsible for these bonds could be advantageous as the review process is ongoing and occurs regularly.
