Below is an excerpt from our existing Bylaws. We are in the process of updating them and I had a question about this. The minimum level is 1/6 of estimated annual assessments which seems low. I cannot find where S.C requires any minimum amount. Does anyone have a recommendation? Our total annual assessments are approximately $500,000.
"Fidelity Bonds. Fidelity bonds shall be required by the Board of Directors from all officers and employees of the Association handling or responsible for Association funds. The amount of such bonds shall be determined by the directors, but shall be at least an amount equal to one-sixth of the estimated total annual assessments against members for recurring expenses. The premiums on such bonds shall be paid by the Association."
