HomeMy WebLinkAbout7A - EDA Depositories and Other Financial Issues AGENDA #: PREPARED BY: SUBJECT: DATE: BACKGROUND: DISCUSSION: Attachment STAFF AGENDA REPORT ;~ BOYLES, CITY MANAGER ~ ESTABLISHMENT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY DEPOSITORIES AND OTHER FINANCIAL ISSUES. JULY 21, 1997 The Economic Development Authority should designate its official bank in accordance with the Bylaws, as well as the persons who are designated to sign EDA checks. Once that is completed, the staff will open the appropriate bank accounts to effectuate the EDA's direction. The Economic Development Authority Bylaws indicate that "the monies of the Authority shall be deposited in the name of the Authority in such Bank or Banks as Commissioners shall designate, and shall be drawn only by checks signed by persons designated by Resolution of the Board of Commissioners." It is therefore necessary for the Economic Development Authority to adopt a resolution designating both the bank or banks, and the individuals designated to sign checks. For simplicity's sake, the attached resolution is intended to address both issues. The City's official depository is Prior Lake State Bank. We would recommend that the EDA's official depository be Marquette Bank of Prior Lake. This recommendation is simply to provide equal treatment to the City's various banks. It is also recommended that the signature of President Bob Barsness be contained on each Economic Development Authority check unless the Board of Commissioners decides otherwise. The attached resolution should be filled m by EDA Commissioners and then adopted. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.
