levied and shall use the same to reimburse the city for the amount paid
or to be paid by it on the bonds of the city issued for such improvement.

In all cities not within a county, the mayor, the comptroller and

trust companies, or credit union or credit unions, savings and loan or
savings and loans, which has its principal place of business in Missouri
referred to hereafter as "listed institutions", for the current deposit
of the city's funds, which in their opinion will be most commensurate
with the safety thereof. The treasurer, as chairman, shall supervise the
business of the committee and maintain records of committee proceedings,
and shall call annual meetings or any other meeting as often as the
business of the city may require. The treasurer shall be a member of any
financial planning or decision-making body or committee furthering the
needs of the city's financial business, except the legislative and
appropriating bodies. The treasurer, by virtue of his office, shall sit
on any committee or group which deals with the issuance of bonds of the
city or any agency or instrumentality thereof. The treasurer shall serve
as the chief investment and cash management officer of the city and, as
such, act as the sole investment authority on any investments of public
funds held by the city or any instrumentality thereof, including funds
derived from proceeds from the issuance of bonds and funds from proceeds
from lease/purchase agreements. Such investments shall be made in a
manner consistent with investment policies approved by the funds
commission, and with judgment and care, under circumstances then
prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence
exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but
for investment, considering the probable safety of capital and income to
be derived. The treasurer shall ensure the safety of all funds held by
the city or any instrumentalities thereof and, upon the approval of the
funds commission and reasonable notice, may assume control of any
accounts not managed in compliance with state law, serve as the custodian
of any funds held in such accounts and take any other measures reasonably
required to ensure the preservation of public funds and compliance with
applicable law. The funds commission, also known as the "funds
committee", shall approve all financial institutions for any banking
services required by the city pursuant to investment policies and
evaluation criteria set by the treasurer and approved by the funds
commission. At least once per year, the treasurer and the city's external
auditors shall report to the comptroller on the city's compliance with
this section. Any state or municipally created agency, citywide elected
officials or any instrumentality thereof working in cooperation with the
city in the collection, management, investment or disbursement of
governmental funds, shall annually report a listing of all listed
institution's accounts, including a list of all pledged collateral, to
the fund committee. Any financial institution acting as a depository or
custodian of public funds for any state or municipally created agency,
citywide elected official or any instrumentality thereof working in the
collection, management, investment or disbursement of governmental funds
for a city located not within a county shall annually report to the funds
committee. Such agencies, elected officials and instrumentalities shall,
during the interim period, report any change or transfer or establishment
of new accounts or changes in collateral to the fund committee within ten
days of doing so. Financial institutions, when requested by the funds
committee, shall verify such information. Before any deposit shall be
made by the treasurer in any listed institution, the institution shall
give a bond in an amount equal to the deposit, with good and sufficient
sureties, to be approved by the unanimous vote of the members of the
funds committee, for the safekeeping and prompt payment of such funds, or
any part thereof, when demanded by the treasurer, and shall at all times
keep the sureties on such bond satisfactory to the funds committee. In
lieu of or in addition to such bond, listed institutions may, with the
unanimous consent of the members of the funds committee, deposit with the
treasurer of such city or with some other mutually satisfactory
depositary in such city, in escrow, bonds or treasury certificates of the
United States or other interest-bearing obligations guaranteed as to both
principal and interest by the United States or agency or instrumentality
thereof in accordance with the approved collateral securities maintained
and approved by the state treasurer, or bonds of the state of Missouri or
of any city not within a county, of a par value equal to the amount of
such deposit, or any part of such deposit not protected by such bond. The
securities so deposited shall, in case of default by any such listed
institution, be taken possession of by the funds committee, and to the
extent required to make good such default, be sold for the benefit of
such city. Any securities so deposited may, with the unanimous consent of
the members of the funds committee, be withdrawn, and others of equal
value and amount substituted therefor. As the amount of such funds on
deposit is reduced, listed institutions, when not in default, shall be
permitted to withdraw the excess of collateral, except that there shall
at no time be a less amount in par value of collateral than the amount at
such time of deposits. The securities so deposited or any substitute
therefor, shall, upon default, be exhausted before recourse shall be had
against the securities upon any bond executed by listed institutions for
the protection of such deposits. In lieu of or in addition to such
deposit of city funds in listed institutions, the treasurer may invest
funds belonging to such city and not immediately needed for the purpose
to which such funds or any of them may be applicable, in accordance with
section 15, article IV of the Missouri Constitution. In addition, the
treasurer may enter into repurchase agreements maturing and becoming
payable within ninety days secured by United States Treasury obligations
or obligations of the United States government agencies or
instrumentalities of any maturity as provided by law. (RSMo 1939 § 7757,
