Earlier this year, a resolution was passed listing those <br />institutions that were to be used for various banking services. Recently, the City was able to <br />negotiate a banking arrangement with M&� Bank, the City's investment safekeeping agent, to <br />waive all investment coupon wire transfer fees in exchange for maintaining a minimal deposit. <br />Deposited funds will earn an investment return that is below what the City earns on its portfolio <br />as a whole, but will be substantially better than what we would earn by simply leaving it in our <br />regular checking account. <br />This arrangementwill save the City approximately $500 -$1,000 annually. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution. <br />Council Action Requested <br />Adopt the attached resolution designating the official bank depositories for 2007. <br />
