AGENDA HEADING:

 

Designation of Multiple Depositories for City Funds and the Maximum Allowable Amount.

 

 

SYNOPSIS:

 

Per the City’s investment policy and State law, the City Council is required to approve a list of authorized depositories and the maximum amounts allowed at each. 

 

 

FISCAL IMPACT: NONE

 

Amount:  N/A

 

Funding Source:  N/A

 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

 

The list of approved institutions is updated periodically, as the need arises.  Due to the current market environment, the City is investing more heavily in Certificates of Deposit.  The increase in depository limits approved November 24, 2008 will expire June 30, 2009.  That temporary increase allowed the City to maximize investment income by allowing these banks to continue to bid Certificate of Deposit rates.    It is recommended to temporarily extend the banks previously increased from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 until June 30, 2010.
