Resolution 23-315
ITEM 7.I.
Council Action: 11/13/2023
Description

Resolution approving city depositories as required by the Code of Iowa, Section 12.C.2.
Background/Discussion

The Code of Iowa, in Section 12.C.2, requires that public bodies shall list the depositories approved for deposit of City funds and list the maximum amounts allowed in each depository in the official record. 

 

This resolution designates all financial institutions deemed appropriate and in the best interest of the City of Council Bluffs as authorized depositories for City funds to the limits prescribed in the Investment Policy of no more than $40,000,000 per institution. A copy of the approved Investment Plan is attached. 

 

During this time with the interest rate market being attractive, there are other options outside of a local bank for the City to invest public funds. While reviewing the City's Investment Plan, staff determined it would be beneficial to include an additional financial institution, Multi Bank Securities. 

 

As City staff continues to research investment portfolio options for public funds, changes to the list of approved depositories will be brought back in front of Council for review and approval. Any future revisions will be presented similar to the changes on the redline version of the previous resolution, also attached. 

Recommendation

On 10-23-2023, the Investment Plan was approved by Council to amend the maximum limit at each authorized financial institution. It is necessary to amend the resolution for approved depositories to reflect the increase to the maximum limit.
