B. The board shall fix contributions to the pool and supervise the finances of the pool and the pool's operations to the extent necessary to assure conformity with law, this chapter, the member agreement, and the pool's governing instruments.

C. The board shall take all necessary precautions to safeguard the assets of the pool, including, but not limited to, the following:

2. Designating an administrator, or establishing alternative procedures acceptable to the Commission, to administer the affairs of the pool, to carry out the policies established by the board and to provide day to day management of the pool. The administrator shall furnish a fidelity bond in an amount sufficient to protect the pool against the misappropriation or misuse of any monies or securities. Evidence of the bond shall be filed with the Commission, said bond being one of the conditions required for licensing of the pool. The administrator shall not be an owner, officer or employee of any service agent, its parent or any of its affiliated companies.

4. Actively collecting delinquent accounts resulting from any past due contributions by members. Any member of a pool who fails to make the required contributions after due notice may be declared ineligible for the self-insurance privilege until this past due account, including cost of collection, has been paid or adequately provided for.

D. Neither the board nor the administrator shall use any of the monies collected for any purpose unrelated to securing the members' liability or other rights and obligations under the member agreement and any administrative or other necessary expenses of the pool. Further, the board shall be prohibited from borrowing any monies from the pool or in the name of the pool without advising the Commission of the nature and purpose of the loan and obtaining the Commission's approval.

E. The board may dispose of any surplus as provided in 14VAC5-380-90 hereof.
