The Board shall designate one or more Official Depositories for the College’s use. The College may deposit at interest all or part of the College’s Cash Balance of any fund in an Official Depository. Monies may be deposited at interest in any Official Depository in the form of such deposit accounts as may be approved for county governments. In addition, monies may be deposited in the form of such deposit accounts as provided for a local government or public authority. Public moneys may also be deposited in Official Depositories in Negotiable Order of Withdrawal accounts where permitted by applicable federal or state regulations.
The amount of funds on deposit in an Official Depository or deposited at interest shall be secured by deposit insurance, surety bonds, letters of credit issued by a Federal Home Loan Bank, or investment securities of such nature, in a sufficient amount to protect the College on account of deposit of funds made therein, and in such manner, as may be prescribed by rule or regulation of the Local Government Commission. When deposits are secured, no public officer or employee may be held liable for any losses sustained by the College because of the default or insolvency of the depository. No security is required for the protection of funds remitted to and received by a bank, savings and loan association, or trust company acting as fiscal agent for the payment of principal and interest on bonds or notes, when the funds are remitted no more than sixty (60) days prior to the maturity date.
