Main Operating Account: The City's operating account contains a variety of activity_ Each of the various services provided by the City is responsible for its OIVU deposits. Therefore~ it is necessary tha~ a drop depository be avail- able 24 hours a day for deposit of collections. Deposits ~11 be made by City ~~ployees or a security service. Except for Bridge and Parking Deposits, all deposits ~11 be accompanied by a deposit slip in duplicate. Upon verification of tne deposit, a copy of the deposit slip must be acknowledged by tne Bank and mailed to the City Finance Office the same day. Pads of deposit slips printed ~th the name of the activity ~11 be furnished at no charge by the Bank~ in such quantities as may be required. In the case of deposited checks being returned because of insufficient funds or any otner reason, one attempt ~11 be made by tne Bank to re- deposit the check, after which it will be fo~arded to the City Finance Office for processing. (Continued) -2- ~ . I I II. Scope of Banking Services (Continued) 1.

It is estimated that 400 deposits per four week period are wede to this account. All investment transactions relating to cash management ~ll be routed through this account. The average amount of money processed through this account each four week period is $7,500,000. Of this amount approximately one-half in- volves the purchase or maturity of investments. The bank must have the capability of receiving the wire transfer from Federal Government for items such as Federal Revenue Sharing and Community Development Block Grant. The total value of this account (including cash and- short term invest- ments) at the present time is approximately $25,000,000. 2. PavToll Deoository: The City is currently on a biweekly payroll basis, paying an average of 1,400 employees every other Friday. Net pay amounts to approximately $450,000 biweekly. In addition, a special sanitation workers payroll of some 100 checks is issued weekly on Friday. Net pay for this payroll amounts to approximately $15,500 weekly. It is the intent of the City to con~inue with this payroll system; however, mainly due to employee union contracts, this system way change. It is estirrdted that 3,000 payments and 4 deposits per four week period are associated with this 'account. Although the City is not currently utilizing a direct deposit payroll system, the ability of the bank to provide this service (either completely or for a portion of our employees) in the future, at the City.s option, is desirable. 3. Statements: The City operates on a 13-period year rather than the traditional 12- month year. This necessitates a cut-off date for .statement purposes that will conform to a predetermined schedule which will be furnished by the City. Statements must be delivered to the City Finance Office "ithin 5 working days following the cut-off. Payroll checks are currently wTitten by the corrputer. The depository bank must have in-house computer capability to effect reconciliation- of accounts, utilizing magnetic tapes furnished by the City covering checks issued during the period, and Bank computer files of checks paid.

Box 4748 Clearwater, Florida 33518 Dear Mr. Petersen: We are enclosing our bid to continue as the City's depository in a separate sealed envelope, per your instructions. We appreciate the opportunity to orrer our services to the City and I believe that our long record of service to the City will be a strong consideration of our capability to render satisfactory service. We are completely qualified in all areas of service required and once again enclose our account reconciliation package and remind you of our capa- bility of direct deposit of payroll and of our affiliation with Barnett Banks of Florida, Inc., whose Annual statement we enclose. We were somewhat surprised that the City did not choose to continue our present relationship for an additional three year period based on the past contract, and we, at this time, indicate our willingness to do that if you so desire. We hope that during your consideration of various bids that you will receive. that a clearwater based bank is given priority inasmuch as the handling of your account can better be done on a local basis. rather than through a branch office operation. Should you have any questions concerning our proposal, please advise. BPC;ae sincerely, III /~ / "V' , I ,~>y\ L.t.<>-'>~ . B.

'According to banking regulations we can offset the accounts monthly itemized service charge against the monthly earnings but excess earnings cannot be credited to the city's account.' In our professional opinion that would be the same as paying interest on demand deposits which we are not permitted to do. Therefore, we propose the following procedure: At the beginning of each month a target balance will be established. The target balance will be the average daily balance that must be maintained for the month. Then on a daily basis the target balance will be reviewed to determine balances in excess of the target. Excess balances will be transferred into a repurchase agreement*. The target balance will be determined by the earnings credit allowance. At the beginning of each month the earnings credit allowance for that month will be the previous month's average federal funds rate. The target balance will be calculated to produce sufficient earnings to cover the monthly itemized service charge of $2,227.00. EXAMPLE Average federal funds rate for April 1979, 9.95% At that rate a target balance of $309,000.00 would generate enough income to offset the monthly account expenses of $2,227.00. Average Ba lance Less: Reserve Requirements @ 13% Average Balance Available for Investment Value Investable Balance @ 9.95* Total Account Expense Profit or Loss $309,000.00 40,170.00 268,830.00 $2,229.05 $2,227.00 2.05 *A repurchase agreement is the sale of a bank owned security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the security at some future date. Transactions may run from one day to several months. It offers greater flexibility than any other medium for the employment of short term funds as well as a generous return and a complete elimination of the rist of market fluctuation. 1. The minimum amount of a repurchase agreement will be $50,000.00. 2. The rate of return will be 3/4 of 1% below the federal funds rate. 3. Repurchase agreements will be secured by united states Treasury Issues and Federal Agency Issues.
