MEETING llATE: ~ AGENDA 1TEM NUMBER:
November 16, 2010 Consent Agenda d.
SUBJECT:
Bank of Elk River Resolution for CD investments
BACKGROUND:
Typically, we have invested our reserve funds in some CDs at First National Bank, where we
also have our checking and savings accounts, and Centt al Bank (prcaiously Kiverview Bank),
with the majority of it being invested with the firms of Piper Jaffray, Smith Barney, and Dain
Rauscher. I would also like to have a CD at the other local bank, The Bank of Elk River.
D1SCliSSION:
Having funds invested in our local banks is good for our conmiunity, and reflects well on the
local utility. A resolution is necessary to move forward with a CD investment at The Bank of Elk
River. FDIC limits are at X250,000 and so we would be investing slightly below that to allow for
interest growth.
ACTION REQUESTED:
We will need a motion and vote at our meeting to approve this action, and a corporate
authorization resolution (attached for review) will need to be executed.
