H. AUTHORIZATION OF INVESTMENTS AND PAYMENTS.  Two signatures are required
                          to conduct business on  behalf  of the  City of Burleson, Texas.    Both  the City
                          Manager and the Director of Finance, or their designee(s), are hereby authorized
                          to approve investments and payments for the City.


                       I. AUTHORIZATION OF ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS BY THE CITY.  In general, electronic
                          transfer responsibilities and  processes are set by  the  Director  of Finance in
                          accordance with banking resolutions adopted by the City Council and the
                          Investment Policy. Processes will require two individuals assigned by the Director
                          of Finance to separate the duties of initiating a transaction and approval of a
                          transaction.

                   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.

                       D. DEPOSITORIES.  The  City Council, having given  due consideration to all of its
                          options and taking into consideration what is in the  best interest of the
                          municipality, hereby authorizes the consideration of applications of depositories
                          not  doing business within  the City of Burleson, Texas so long as that bank
                          maintains a business location within a five-mile radius of Burleson City Hall.  This
                          authorization encompasses all of the depository uses and requirements of the
                          City.
