132. Section 2. The city clerk, city treasurer, and any other elective or appointive officer, deputy or employee required by the general law, this charter or direction of the council to furnish a bond, before entering upon the duties of his office and within the time prescribed for filing his official oath, shall file with the city clerk such bond or security as may be required by law, or by this charter, or by any ordinance or requirement of the council and with such sureties as shall be approved by the council for the due performance of the duties of his office, except that the bond or security of the city clerk shall be deposited with the city treasurer, and provided that the sureties on all bonds shall be some responsible surety company authorized to do business in the State of Michigan, and all bonds be approved by the council before such officer or employee shall enter upon the duties of his office; and provided further, that such officers and employees as are required by this charter to furnish surety bonds shall be reimbursed out of the city treasury for the premiums paid for the purpose of procuring such bonds. The official bond of every officer and employee, unless herein otherwise provided, shall be conditioned that he will faithfully perform the duties of his office of employment, and will, on demand, deliver over to his successor or other proper officer or agent of the city, all books, papers, moneys, effects and property belonging to the city or appertaining to his office which may be in his custody as an officer, and such bond may be further conditioned as the council may prescribe. The official bond of every officer or employee whose duty it may be to receive and pay out money shall be farther conditioned that he will, on demand, pay over or account for to the city or any proper officer or agent thereof all moneys received by him as such officer or employee; and the bond of the city treasurer shall be further conditioned that he will account for and pay over to the county treasurer all state and county taxes collected by him when and in the manner required by law. The council may at any time require any officer or employee to execute and file with the clerk or proper officer, new official bonds in the same or such further sums and with such new and other or further sureties as the council may deem requisite. The council may require such bonds to be furnished within a period of not less than ten (10) days, and unless such bond be furnished within and the vacancy may be filled in the manner provided in this charter, the time fixed, the office or employment so held shall thereby be vacated.
