Motion seconded by Mr. Franklin and carried unanimously. VALPARAISO Mr. Bishop mentioned that in the agenda packet there was a letter I BANK FUNDS where it seemed they would approve setting up an account at the Valparaiso Bank. He asked what was the purpose of the letter. The Manager said this was an additional information item. Mr. Bishop felt there was a policy of where they placed new bank accounts and he felt all of the City' s banking should be within the City limits; feeling people within the City should be given priority if we could, things being equal. The City Clerk said for information that particular account that been there 25 years or so, established by bond ordinance, and the bank had requi.red the City to sign a form to convert to a Super NOW Acccount. Mr. Bishop had thought this was a new account. The Clerk said this was the only bank that required a signature to convert, and was a matter of record. Mr. Franklin said r 1- 25- 83 232 VALPARAISO BANK the funds, go to the Valparaiso Bank and they transfer the funds to the Chicago National Bank to sati.sfy the bonds. The City Clerk said any new accounts were done by Resolution by the City Council. Mr. Bishop said that cleared up his misunderstanding that it was a new account. FARMER' S MARKET Mayor announced she wou~ d appoint someone in Mr. Sundy' s place on the Farmer' s Market Committee when she had checked to see who was already on the Committee. VALPARAISO BANK Mr. Bishop asked again about the account, noting back in the budget, they had discussed surplus money in the bank and there had been some discussion of bringing money back. Mr. Franklin felt that money could not be touched because it was a bond issue. The Clerk said instead of sending the total amount of money needed there was already some up there so we were sending less money by that amount. Mr. Bishop said that answered his questions.
