where applicable.]
GENERAL REFERENCES
Capital funds — See Ch. 14.
Council shall, from time to time, designate by resolution a depository
or depositories for city funds. Such depositories shall be banks, banking
institutions, trust companies or savings and loan associations located in
the City of Butler.
A.
All depositories of city funds shall, upon receipt of
notice of their selection as depositories of city funds, furnish a bond to
secure payment of deposits of city funds and any interest to the city, with
a proper warrant of attorney to confess judgment in favor of the city, secured
by a surety company to be approved by Council. No one surety company shall
be approved in an aggregate amount in excess of five (5) times its capital,
surplus and reserve. Such surety bonds shall be in a sum not less than the
greatest amount of city funds on deposit at any one (1) time.
B.
However, in lieu of surety bonds of surety companies,
the deposit of city moneys and any interest thereon may be secured by the
deposit with the City Treasurer of bonds of the United States, of the commonwealth
or of any political subdivision thereof, equal to at least one hundred twenty
percent (120%) of city moneys and interest of the deposit so secured. Such
bonds shall be accompanied by a proper assignment or power of attorney to
transfer the same to the city in the event of the failure of the depository
to pay to the city the full amount of the deposit of city moneys and interest
thereon. Any such deposit of securities shall be maintained to the full amount
required in case of any depreciation in value thereof.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed to require a depository
to furnish bond or collateral security to cover the amount of any deposit
to the extent that the same is insured with the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation.
The City Treasurer shall, upon the designation and qualification of
such depositories, immediately transfer thereto the city funds and shall thereafter
keep such deposits solely in such depositories in the name of the city.
