PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT

The City requires security for deposits that are not guaranteed or insured according to Montana Code Annotated Section 7-6-207.

On December 31, 2013,  the City had certificates of deposit at First Interstate Bank for $2,584,161. Because First Interstate Bank's net worth to total assets ratio is over 6%, the City is required to have a minimum of 50% of the deposits covered by pledged securities. First Interstate Bank has collateralized the City’s deposits with 100% in pledged securities.

The City also has $81,392,329 deposited at US Bank on December 31, 2013. Because US Bank's net worth to total assets ratio is over 6%, the City is required to have a minimum of 50% of the deposits covered by pledged securities.  US Bank has provided 98.2% in pledged securities.
