RE: Ordinance No. 12-08 -Amending Ordinance 73-07, Designating Eligible
Financial Institutions as Public Depositories
Summary
Section 135.12 of the Ohio Revised Code requires governmental entities to designate individual
financial institutions as depositories of public monies for a period not to exceed five years. The
City of Dublin's current depository agreements with various local banks were authorized by
Ordinance 73-07 and expire on October 31, 2012. Subsequent to Ordinance 73-07 becoming
effective on November 1, 2007, City staff «~as contacted by two additional local banks which
«~~ere interested in becoming public depositories of City monies. These eligible financial
institutions were inadvertently overlooked during staff's solicitation for such applications last
summer.
Both Nationwide Bank and Emerald Bank have submitted applications to be considered as
eligible depositories for the City's interim deposits. Both institutions are federally-chartered
banks operating under the oversight of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Nation«~ide Bank,
with a retail branch at 5100 Rings Road, acquired the former Nationwide Federal Credit Union in
2007 and has over $l.l billion in assets. Emerald Bank, located at 6215 Perimeter Drive, is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of l~liddlefield Bank Corp. (Middlefield, Ohio) with over $400 million
in assets. Both institutions meet the requirements for becoming public depositories for the City
of Dublin. Ordinance 12-08 would add both of these banks to the current listing of banks
approved as public depositories by Ordinance 73-07. The City's active deposits will continue to
be held at JPMorganChase Bank as authorized by that ordinance.
Periodically, the City invests interim deposits (amounts not needed immediately to support daily
operations) in certificates of deposit. or similar time deposits. Such amounts are awarded to the
bank offering the best and most advantageous terms at the time of investment.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 12-08 at the second reading on March 17, 2008, to
become effective thirty days later.
