Commissioner Bonding
Before beginning duties, a successful Candidate is required to be “qualified” to assume office, as outlined in RCW 29A.04.133 (Qualified) and described by MRSC in their 2015 publication Assuming Office. Prior to taking the Oath of Office, the successful candidate must obtain a $5,000 Surety Bond payable to the District and filed with the County Clerk RCW 85.38.080 (Governing body-Bond). Although the cost of this bond will be reimbursed by the District, it is the obligation of the Candidate to procure the Bond prior to taking Oath.
