Bank CompensationDo we have the option to pay for your services by targeted balances or by fees? Please describe any differences in related costs to us with either option. If we choose one option for the life of the contract, is there a difference in service fees?

Compensation Based on a Targeted BalanceWe may choose to pay for your services by maintaining a targeted amount of our funds in the depository. We will maintain balances in the checking accounts to compensate you in full or in part for services provided. You must provide a monthly account analysis that reflects the earnings credited for these balances.

You may invest any excess collected balance daily as directed by us in an overnight investment that we approve, an interest bearing account, or a money market mutual fund registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Please list below the overnight investment and any index upon which the rate will be based.

TCISD Request for Proposal for Depository Services

If any of these rates is based on an index rate (such as the T-Bill auction rate), stipulate how you will use the index to calculate the rate.

Compensation Based on FeesWe may choose to pay for your services on a straight fee basis in which we will not maintain a targeted balance. You will assess fees, if any, and we will pay them in accordance with your proposed fees as listed on Attachment A, Volumes for Pricing Transactions.

District InvestmentsWe reserve the right to purchase, sell, and invest our funds and funds under our control, including bond funds, as authorized by the Texas Government Code, Chapter 2256, Public Funds Investment Act, and in compliance with our investment policy, a copy of which is attached as Attachment C.

We may choose to invest in time deposits at the depository. You will pay interest on our funds placed in time deposits with maturities we chose. The interest rate spread on the deposits should be indicated as above, below, or equal to the “asked” yield on the comparable maturity T-Bill of the proposed time deposit being purchased as reported in an independent, financial source.

You and we must execute a collateral agreement in accordance with the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). Provide a sample collateral agreement as Attachment D, Sample Collateral Agreement.

We estimate our maximum anticipated collateral requirement to be $30,000,000 (high cash balance day). For the majority of the year, the District will be able to keep much lower balances in demand accounts to reduce the need for collateral.

If voluntary collateral pooling is legislated during the period of this contract, you and we may consider it and agree to use it under this contract.

Eligible CollateralWe will accept only approved securities as specified by the TEC, §45.201, and Texas Government Code, Chapter 2256, Public Funds Investment Act, as pledged collateral.

Attachment C – Local Investment Policy CDA (LOCAL)

It is the policy of the District that the administration of its funds and the investment of those funds shall be handled as the highest public trust. Investment shall be made in a manner that will provide the maximum security of principal with both liquidity and diversification limitations in order to meet the daily cash flow needs of the District. All investments shall be in accordance with the Public Funds Investment Act and federal and state laws.

This investment policy shall apply to all assets of the District.

As provided by law, investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, that a person of prudence, discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of his or her own affairs, not for speculation but for investment, considering the probable safety of principal as well as the probable income to be derived. [See Standard of Care, CDA(LEGAL)]

Investment Authority

The assistant superintendent for business, the director of finance, the accountant, or other person designated by Board resolution shall serve as the investment officer of the District and shall invest District funds as directed by the Board and in accordance with the District’s written investment policy and generally accepted accounting procedures. All investment transactions except investment pool funds and mutual funds shall be settled on a delivery versus payment basis.

Authority as investment officer shall be effective until rescinded by the Board or the person’s employment with the District terminates. [See Investment Officer, CDA(LEGAL)]

As provided by law, the investment officers shall, within 12 months of assuming duties, attend training from a Board-authorized source. The required ten hours of additional training shall be obtained not less than once in each two-year period thereafter. [See Investment Officer, CDA(LEGAL)]

Any business or personal business relationship between the investment officer and any business organization offering to engage in financial transactions with the District shall be disclosed. Disclosure shall be made in accordance with District regulations and the Public Funds Investment Act. [See Personal Interest, CDA(LEGAL)]

Investment Strategy

All listed funds shall be pooled for investment purposes. The strategy developed for this pooled fund group shall address the varying needs, goals, and objectives of each fund. The strategy for the pooled funds shall be to ensure cash flow is matched with adequate liquidity.

23 | P a g e


This may be accomplished by purchasing quality, short-term securities in a laddered structure and using an investment pool.

The investment officer shall observe financial market indicators, study financial trends, and use available educational tools in order to maintain appropriate managerial expertise.

Safety

The foremost objective of the investment program shall be safety of principal. Investments shall be made in a manner that ensures the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. No individual investment transaction that jeopardizes the capital position of the overall portfolio shall be undertaken.

Liquidity

The District’s investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to enable the District to meet all operating requirements that might reasonably be anticipated. The District shall have procedures to determine its cash flow requirements consistent with generally accepted financial and accounting procedures. Liquidity shall be further assured through diversification of the portfolio.

Maximum Maturity

To the extent possible, the District shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. The District shall not invest in instruments in which the stated maturity is greater than two years from the date of purchase. The Board may specifically authorize a longer maturity for a given investment, within legal limits.

Yield

The District’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a reasonable market yield throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the District’s investment risk constraints and cash flow needs. The District’s primary investment strategy shall be buy and hold. Based on the authorized securities and strategy, the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill shall be used as the benchmark for portfolio risk and performance.

Approved Investment Instruments

From those investments authorized by law and described further in CDA(LEGAL) under Authorized Investments, the Board shall permit investment of District funds in only the following investment types, consistent with the strategies and maturities defined in this policy:

Obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States government or its agencies and instrumentalities not to exceed two years to stated maturity and excluding mortgage obligations. Extended maturity U.S. Treasury and agency obligations may be used for bond funds not to exceed three years to stated maturity. In bond funds, the stated maturity of these securities would be matched to specific planned liabilities and not extend in maturity beyond the expenditure schedule of the bond funds invested.

24 | P a g e


Fully insured or collateralized certificates of deposit from the District’s depository bank or a bank doing business in Texas under the terms of a written depository agreement with that bank, not to exceed 24 months to stated maturity.

Fully collateralized repurchase agreements, as defined by the Public Funds Investment Act, with banks doing business in Texas or primary dealers, not to exceed one day in maturity.

Commercial paper rated no less than A1/P1 or its equivalent by two nationally recognized rating agencies, not to exceed three months to stated maturity.

AAA-rated SEC-registered money market mutual funds as defined by the Public Funds Investment Act.

AAA-rated constant-dollar, Texas public funds investment pools as defined by the Public Funds Investment Act.

Specific Diversification

In order to reduce market and credit risk, the overall portfolio shall be diversified as follows:

Maximum Maturity Maximum Percentage of Portfolio

U.S. Treasuries 2 years 80%

Bond Funds 2 years 80%

U.S. Agencies 2 years 80%

Bond Funds 2 years 80%

Commercial Paper 90 days 20%

By issuer 5%

Public Fund Investment Pools

1 day 100%

Repurchase Agreements 1 day 25%

Certificates of Deposit 2 years 75%

Money Market Funds 1 day 75%

If additional securities are approved for investment of public funds by state statute, they shall not be eligible for investment by the District until this policy has been amended and adopted by the Board.

25 | P a g e


Monitoring Market Prices

Market prices of securities owned by the District shall be obtained from an independent source. Monitoring of the portfolio shall be done monthly or more often as economic conditions warrant by using appropriate reports, indices, or benchmarks for the type of investment. The investment officer shall keep the Board informed of significant changes in the market value of the District’s investment portfolio. Information sources may include independent financial/investment publications and electronic media, available software for tracking investments, depository banks, commercial or investment banks, financial advisers, and representatives/advisers of investment pools or money market funds.

Monitoring Rating Changes

In accordance with Government Code 2256.005(b), the investment officer shall develop a procedure to monitor changes in investment ratings and to liquidate investments that do not maintain satisfactory ratings.

Funds / Strategies

Investments of the following fund categories shall be consistent with this policy and in accordance with the applicable strategy defined below. All strategies described below for the investment of a particular fund should be based on an understanding of the suitability of an investment to the financial requirements of the District and consider preservation and safety of principal, liquidity, marketability of an investment if the need arises to liquidate before maturity, diversification of the investment portfolio, and yield.

Operating Funds

Investment strategies for operating funds (including any commingled pools containing operating funds) shall have as their primary objectives preservation and safety of principal, investment liquidity, and maturity sufficient to meet anticipated cash flow requirements. In no case shall the District invest in instruments whose stated maturity is greater than two years from the date of purchase, except in designated bond funds in which the expenditure plan for the bond funds exceeds that limit.

Agency Funds

Investment strategies for agency funds shall have as their primary objectives preservation and safety of principal, investment liquidity, and maturity sufficient to meet anticipated cash flow requirements.

Debt Service Funds

Investment strategies for debt service funds shall have as their primary objective sufficient investment liquidity to timely meet debt service payment obligations in accordance with provisions in the bond documents. Maturities longer than one year are authorized provided legal limits are not exceeded.

Capital Project Funds

26 | P a g e


Investment strategies for capital project funds shall have as their primary objective sufficient investment liquidity to timely meet capital project obligations. Maturities longer than two years are authorized.

Safekeeping and Custody

The District shall retain clearly marked receipts providing proof of the District’s ownership of securities, or the District may delegate to an investment pool the authority to hold legal title as custodian of investments purchased with District funds.

Collateral shall be kept with an independent third party on all certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. The District shall have a current custodial agreement with the third party.

Collateral

Collateralization shall be required on all bank time and demand deposits and repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the bank collateralization level shall be maintained at 102 percent of market value of principal and accrued interest. Mortgage-backed collateral shall not be allowed in accordance with the collateral security agreement.

Authorized collateral shall include only the following:

Obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, including mortgage-backed securities that pass the bank test.

Obligations of states, agencies, counties, districts, cities, and other political subdivisions of any state rated as to investment quality not less than “A” or its equivalent by a nationally recognized rating agency.

The bank or counter-party shall be responsible for monitoring and maintaining the margins at all times. The custodian shall provide monthly collateral reports.

Substitution of collateral may be authorized with prior approval of the District.

Sellers of Investments

Prior to handling investments on behalf of the District, a broker/dealer or a qualified representative of a business organization must submit required written documents in accordance with law. [See Sellers of Investments, CDA(LEGAL)]

The written statement shall certify that the business organization has implemented reasonable procedures and controls in an effort to preclude investment transactions being conducted between the District and the organization that are not authorized by the District’s investment policy, except to the extent that this authorization is dependent on an analysis of the makeup of the District’s entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of subjective investment standards. [See Sellers of Investments, CDA(LEGAL)]

27 | P a g e


Representatives of brokers/dealers shall be registered with the Texas State Securities Board and must have membership in the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), and be in good standing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

A list of the brokers/dealers, pools, banks, and other financial institutions authorized to do business with the District shall be reviewed and adopted by the Board or a committee designated by the Board at least annually. Information on each broker/dealer shall be maintained by the District or its investment adviser.

Soliciting Bids for CDs

All securities, including certificates of deposit of $100,000 or less, shall be purchased through competitive bidding to verify that the District is receiving fair market value. In order to get the best return on its investments, the District may solicit bids in writing, by telephone, or electronically.

Internal Controls

A system of internal controls shall be established and documented in writing and must include specific procedures designating who has authority to withdraw funds. Also, they shall be designed to protect against losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, unanticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the District. Controls deemed most important shall include:

Separation of authority;

Avoidance of collusion;

Custodial safekeeping;

Delegation of authority;

Confirmation of transactions; and

Documentation of transactions.

These controls shall be reviewed by the District’s independent auditing firm. The District’s auditors shall also perform an annual compliance audit of management controls as well as a review of the quarterly reports to the Board.

Portfolio Report

In addition to the quarterly report required by law and signed by the District’s investment officer, a summary report on the investment program and activity shall be presented annually to the Board. This report shall include a performance and risk evaluation that will include a period comparison to the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill. Prices used for valuation of market value shall be obtained from an independent source, such as the Wall Street Journal, the District’s investment advisor, or a broker not involved with the purchase of the particular security.

28 | P a g e


Annual Review and Adoption

This investment policy and its strategies shall be reviewed and adopted not less than annually by the Board. The Board shall adopt a written resolution confirming the review, which shall include any changes adopted during that review. In addition to the quarterly report required by law and signed by the District’s investment officer, a comprehensive report on the investment program and activity shall be presented annually to the Board.

Annual Audit

In conjunction with the annual financial audit, the District shall perform a compliance audit of management controls on investments and adherence to the District’s established investment policies.
