(A) Prior to taking office, every Council member shall execute and file an official bond, enforceable against the principal and his or her sureties, conditioned on the due and faithful performance of his or her official duties, payable to the state and to and for the use and benefit of the city or any person who may be injured or aggrieved by the wrongful act or default of such officer in his or her official capacity. A person so injured or aggrieved may bring suit on such bond under provisions identical to those contained in A.R.S. § 38-260. Bonds shall be in such sum as shall be provided by resolution and the premium for such bonds shall be paid by the city.
(B) In the alternative, the City Manager may, at the direction of the Mayor and the City Council, procure insurance coverage from city underwriters sufficient to meet or exceed the foregoing statutory bond requirements.
