This section explains who must sign bonds issued by the county unless the bond ordinance says otherwise. The mayor signs, and the finance director or deputy countersigns. Signatures can be handwritten or printed copies, and they remain valid even if the official leaves office before the bonds are delivered.

Unless otherwise specified in the bond ordinance, the bonds shall be signed by the mayor and countersigned by the director of finance or the director’s deputy.
