CONSIDER A RESOLUTION NAMING DEPOSITORIES.
1.
Comment: We are recommending that First American Bank have its
maximum depository limit raised from $10,000,000.00 to
$25,000,000.00. Investments at this institution would be collateralized
by the state sinking fund.
2.
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING BY-LAWS OF THE
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
Comment: HCDC unanimously approved amended by-laws. The Rules
Committee has reviewed the by-laws and has recommended adoption.
There are two changes, both in Article 4, Section B regarding the
composition of the Commission. The first amendment is to delete the
reference to that HUD requires certain citizen groups to be represented,
and although that may have been true many years ago, HUD presently
has no such requirement. The other amendment is to delete the
requirement that one commissioner be a member of the Local Homeless
Coordinating Board. Because members of the Local Homeless
Coordinating Board are generally employed by agencies that receive
CDBG funds, they are conflicted from voting in the HCDC allocation
process and so it is difficult to fill this "slot."
3.
CONSIDER A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE WORK FOR THE
IOWA CITY WATER FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS DIVISION 1:
