XI. Collateralization
Time and Demand Pledged Collateral
All time and demand deposits shall be secured above FDIC coverage by pledged
collateral. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for
all funds, collateral will be maintained and monitored by the pledging depository
at 102% of market value of principal and accrued interest on the deposits. The bank
shall monitor and maintain the margins on a daily basis. All collateral shall be
subject to inspection and audit by the City or its auditors. To allow for compliance
verification by the City, monthly reports of pledged collateral shall include, at a
minimum, information for each security that identifies its (i) type, (ii) CUSIP
number, and (iii) face value.
Collateral pledged to secure deposits shall be held by an independent financial
institution outside the holding company of the depository, approved by the
Investment Officer(s), in accordance with a safekeeping agreement executed under
the terms of the Financial Institutions Resource and Recover Enforcement Act
(FIRREA).

Master Repurchase Agreement and to provide collateral, at a 102% margin, that must

Collateral will be evidenced by safekeeping reports/receipts clearly denoting City
