REPORT FROM JOHN NEjEDLY, COUNSEL FOR '!HE Dr S'lRrCT, RE CASH BOND REQUIRED BY THE DIS1RICT Mr. Nejedly reported that he had discussed writing a five year bond with several insurance carriers which they agreed to do for all contractors approved by the insurance companies, subject to a certain maximum amount; however, for large subdivision jobs involving large ~tms, the bond would be restricted to preferred contractors.

He also stated that the cash bond which has always been the only requirement to cover side sewer installations should be larger than the $100.00 required prior to raising to $1,000.00. Member Mitchell suggested that the possibility of additional inspecUon costs under the suggested new proposals be investigated.
