A. Whenever a surety bond to indemnify the village is required as a prerequisite to exercising the duties of any office or position, or to the issuance of a license or permit, or for the exercise of any special privilege, the surety on such bond shall be a corporation licensed and authorized to do business in the state as a surety company, in the absence of specific provision to the contrary by ordinance. The Corporate Authorities have the right to reject a proposed surety if they determine the financial rating of the proposed surety is not adequate.
B. Whenever, in its opinion, additional sureties or an additional surety may be needed on any bond to indemnify the Village against loss or liability because of the insolvency of the existing surety or sureties or for any other reason, the Village may order a new surety for such bond. If such new surety or sureties are not procured within ten (10) days from the time such order is transmitted to the principal on the bond, or his assignee, the board may, at its option, declare the bond to be void, and thereupon such principal or assignee shall be deemed to have surrendered the privilege or position as condition of which the bond was required.
