                        for normal banking services including disbursements,  deposits,  and safekeeping of
                        Town owned securities.   Other banking institutions from which the Town may purchase
                        only certificates of deposit will also be designated as a depository.

                        All banking arrangements will be in written form in accordance with FIRREA which
                        requires a resolution of approval of the agreement by the Bank Council or Bank Loan
