The secretary shall serve as treasurer of the district, unless a treasurer is otherwise provided for by the board. The board may also employ a chief engineer who may be an individual, partnership, or corporation; an attorney, and such other engineers, attorneys, and other agents and assistants as may be necessary; and may provide for their compensation which, with all other necessary expenditures, shall be taken as a part of the cost or maintenance of the improvement. The chief engineer shall be superintendent of all the works and improvements, and shall make a full report to the board each year, or oftener if required by the board, and may make such suggestions and recommendations to the board as he may deem proper. The secretary and treasurer and such other agents or employees of the district as the court may direct, shall furnish corporate surety bonds, at the expense of the district, in amount and form fixed and approved by the court, conditioned upon the faithful performance of their respective duties.
