Resolution 25-165
ITEM 7.B.
Council Action: 6/23/2025
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 $60,000,000 per institution. A copy of the proposed amended Investment Policy is attached. 

 

The City has been approached to add Availa Bank to the list of approved depositories at the next revision of this resolution. 

 

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

Approval of this resolution is dependent upon approval of the Investment Policy resolution (agenda item above). Within the Investment Policy amendment, the maximum limit at each authorized financial institution is proposed to increase. It is necessary to amend the resolution for approved depositories to reflect the increase to the maximum limit.
