PUBLIC WORKS CONF.ROOM: AZUSA, CALIFORNIA: TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1972
Members of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors
discussed the matter, continued from the Council meeting
of April 3, 1972, which requested an additional $8,077,
for the Chamber of Commerce to hire a Business & Industrial
Agent.
After discussion, it was
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried by roll call to increase the
allocation to the Chamber of Commerce from $10,640 to
$18,717.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Snyder

The City Treasurer presented the budget request for

Moved by Councilman Snyder, seconded by Councilman Decker
and unanimously carried by roll call to approve the
increase in salary for the City Treasurer, by $100 a month,
for a new total of $700 per month, and to request the City
Attorney to prepare the necessary Ordinance.
The City Treasurer informed the Council that he had requested
informal quotations, for banking services relative to the
General Fund, from Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America and
First Western Bank. He noted that Wells Fargo offered to
change the requirement from absolute minimum balance of
$70,000 to an average minimum balance of $70,000, and
would allow the purchase of repos in the amount of
$100,000, instead of the minimum of $250,000, provided
they were maintained for a minimum of eight days.
He further noted that the First Western Bank required a
minimum average balance of $40,000, and their minimum
purchase of repos is in the amount of $100,000 on a day
to day basis.
He stated that the Bank of America would also require a
$40,000 minimum balance and their repos are on the same
basis as First Western. Bank of America would supply
the checks that the city would need for its General Account.
He further explained that the difference between a $70,000
minimum and a $40,000 minimum could mean, by investing the
funds, an added revenue of $1,200 per year. He noted that
he cannot tie up great amounts for eight days, and finds
that First Western Bank and Bank of America allow him to
invest for a week -end, or a single day at a time. On that
basis he has already raised approximately $4,000 to date,
from the latter part of January 1972. He asked Council
if there would be any opposition to his moving the General
Account from Wells Fargo, to the Bank of America. He
noted that the Consumer Services Account, the 1911 Improve-
ment Account and the EEA Account would remain at Wells Fargo.
It was the consensus of Council that it endorse the decision
of the City Treasurer to move the City General Fund Account
from Wells Fargo, to the Bank of America.
Moved by Councilman Clark, seconded by Councilman Rubio
and unanimously carried to approve the budget request of the
City Treasurer Department Account #5050, as amended.

that the budget request had been amended from $199,827
