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).

                 City Owned  Collateral
                 Each counter party to a repurchase transaction is required to execute the Bond  Market
                 Master Repurchase Agreement and to provide collateral, at a 102% margin, that must
                 be held by an independent third party custodian approved by the Investment Officer(s).
                 The  Master Agreement must be fully executed before any transaction is initiated.
                 Collateral  will be evidenced by  safekeeping reports/receipts clearly denoting City
                 ownership from  the safekeeping  agent and include  information as to each position
                 (security type, CUSIP number, face and market value).

                 Authorized Collateral
                 As  authorized  by  the Public Funds  Collateral Act and  further  restricted  by  this
                 policy,  acceptable  collateral  for  time  and  demand  deposits  and  repurchase
                 agreements shall include only:

                           Obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and  instrumentalities,
                           including mortgage-backed securities and CMO that pass the bank test,
                           and Obligations of any U.S. state, city, county or authority rated at least
                           A by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

                 XII.  Diversification

                 The City recognizes that investment risks can result from issuer defaults, market
                 price changes, or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity.
                 Risk  is  controlled  through  portfolio  diversification.  The  strategies  for
                 diversification  are  dependent upon market  conditions  and cash flow needs  and
