§ 20.11. - Posting of bonds by city unnecessary. Whenever the general law requires the posting of a bond, with or without surety, as a condition precedent to the exercise of any right, the city, without giving such bond, may exercise such right, provided all other conditions precedent are complied with, and no officer shall fail or refuse to act because the city has not filed or executed the bond that might otherwise be required, and the city shall be bound to the same extent that it would have been bound had the bond been given. This exemption from the requirement of posting a bond shall also apply in cases involving a city employee and to whom liability coverage has been granted by the city. (Acts 1993, Ch. 613, § 1; Acts 1998, Ch. 711)
