a. Two  individuals  designated  on  Group  A  of  Attachment  “A”  must
                                     approve wire transfers to designated paying agents.

                                  b. Any  revision,  addition  or  deletion  to  the  list  of  designated  paying
                                     agents will require the approval of two individuals designated in Group
                                     B  of  Attachment  “A”.    Such  approval  shall  not  be  necessary  when
                                     supplementary  information  unrelated  to  the  accounts  varies.    For
                                     example,  the  paying  agent  may  request  that  the  wire  include  a
                                     notation that the transaction is to the attention of a certain individual.
                                     So  long  as  the  wire  is  the  benefit  of  an  authorized  account,  such
                                     clarifying information is permissible.  Copies of additions, deletions,
                                     and changes will be provided to the Finance Committee at their regular
                                     scheduled meeting.

                               5. MISCELLANEOUS


                                  a. Wire transfers to any party not involving a security purchase destined
                                     for  custodial  safekeeping  with  an  approved  organization,  or  to  an
                                     authorized investment pool, or to an authorized paying agent, shall
                                     require  the  approval  of  two  authorized  individuals  in  Group  B  of
                                     Attachment “A”.  Copies of such transactions will be provided to the
                                     Finance Committee at their next regularly scheduled meeting.

                   VII. ASSET MANAGEMENT

                       A. INVESTMENTS. The Finance Director shall promptly invest all City funds with the
                          Bank Depository in accordance with the provisions of the current Bank
                          Depository Agreement or in any negotiable instrument that the Council has
                          authorized under the provisions of the Texas Public Funds Investment Act and in
                          accordance with the City Council approved Investment Policy.

                       B. CASH MANAGEMENT. The City's cash flow will be managed to maximize the cash
                          available to invest. Such cash management will entail the centralization of cash
                          collections,  where  feasible,  including  property  tax  payments,  utility  bills,
                          municipal fines, building and related permits and licenses, and other collection
                          offices as appropriate. Cycle billing will be used where appropriate.


                       C. FIXED ASSETS AND INVENTORY. These assets will be reasonably safeguarded and
                          properly accounted for, and prudently insured. A fixed asset of the City shall be
                          defined  as  a  purchased  or  otherwise  acquired  piece  of  equipment,  vehicle,
                          furniture, fixture, capital improvement, addition to existing capital investments,
                          land, buildings or accessioned Library materials. The cost or value of any such
                          acquisition must be $5,000 or more within an expected useful life greater than
                          one year.  All City departments with inventory are required to conduct a physical
                          inventory under their control on an annual basis.
