The county executive\nand each other officer whose compensation is paid from county funds\nshall take and file an official oath in the manner prescribed in section\nten of the public officers law and the provisions of section four\nhundred two of the county law shall apply to all such officers.\n 2. The county executive, the head of each administrative unit and each\nother officer whose compensation is paid from county funds shall, before\nentering upon the duties of his office, execute an official undertaking\nas provided in section eleven of the public officers law, except as\notherwise provided by law. The amount of such undertaking shall be fixed\nby the board of supervisors and approved by such board if in session and\nif not in session by the county clerk, except that the undertaking of\nthe county clerk shall be approved by the county judge. When in the\nopinion of the board of supervisors the sureties are deemed insufficient\nand the money and property of the county may be unsafe, such board may\ndirect a further undertaking upon ten days' notification thereof in\nwriting and such officer shall not perform any duties nor be entitled to\ncompensation until such further undertaking is furnished. All elective\nand appointive county officers shall give such other undertakings as may\nbe required by law. The board of supervisors or any county officer shall\nhave the power to demand the giving of an undertaking by subordinates or\nemployees, as may be deemed necessary. Any default or misfeasance in\noffice on the part of any such subordinate or employee shall be deemed a\nbreach of the undertaking of the county officer appointing him as well\nas a breach of the undertaking furnished by such subordinate or\nemployee. The neglect to furnish and file any such undertaking within\nthe time prescribed by law, except in the cases of the sheriff, county\nclerk and district attorney, shall be deemed a refusal to serve and the\noffice may be filled as in the case of a vacancy. Until the sheriff,\ncounty clerk or district attorney shall execute and file the required\nundertaking, he shall not perform any duties of the office, nor be\nentitled to any compensation. The board of supervisors shall cause an\naction to be brought upon any breach of the conditions of any such\nundertaking.\n
