Chapter : Chapter 110 Depositaries for Public Funds
1. The public funds of every county, township, city, town,
village, school district of every character, road district, sewer
district, fire protection district, water supply district, drainage or
levee district, state hospital, state schools for the mentally deficient,
Missouri School for the Deaf, Missouri School for the Blind, Missouri
Training School for Boys, training school for girls, Missouri Veterans'
Home, Missouri State Chest Hospital, state university, Missouri state
teachers' colleges, Lincoln University, which are deposited in any
banking institution acting as a legal depositary of the funds under the
statutes of Missouri requiring the letting and deposit of the same and
the furnishing of security therefor, shall be secured by the deposit of
securities of the character prescribed by section 30.270, RSMo, for the
security of funds deposited by the state treasurer.

2. The securities shall, at the option of the depositary banking
institution, be delivered either to the fiscal officer or the governing
body of the municipal corporation or other depositor of the funds, or by
depositing the securities with another banking institution or safe
depositary as trustee satisfactory to both parties to the depositary
agreement. The trustee may be a bank owned or controlled by the same bank
holding company as the depositary banking institution.

3. The rights and duties of the several parties to the depositary
contract shall be the same as those of the state and the depositary
banking institution respectively under section 30.270, RSMo. If a
depositary banking institution deposits the bonds or securities with a
trustee as above provided, and the municipal corporation or other
depositor of funds gives notice in writing to the trustee that there has
been a breach of the depositary contract and makes demand in writing on
the trustee for the securities, or any part thereof, then the trustee
shall forthwith surrender to the municipal corporation or other depositor
of funds a sufficient amount of the securities to fully protect the
depositor from loss and the trustee shall thereby be discharged of all
further responsibility in respect to the securities so surrendered. (RSMo
1939 § 8183, A.L. 1955 p. 735, A.L. 1959 S.B. 77, A.L. 1961 p. 463, A.L.

The value of the securities deposited and maintained by a legal

hundred percent of the actual amount of the funds on deposit with the
depositary, less the amount, if any, insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. (RSMo 1939 § 8184, A.L. 1959 S.B. 77, A.L. 1973

The various statutory provisions in relation to the
advertisement for and receipt of bids and the award of the funds to the
best bidder or bidders for the whole or any part of any of the public
funds of the character referred to in section 110.010 shall be applicable
only if and when, at the time of said advertisement and award, it shall
be lawful for banking institutions to pay interest upon demand deposits,
in which event such applicable statutory provisions shall be complied
with; but if, at the time of the advertisement for bids or the receipt of
bids or the award of funds, it shall be unlawful for depositary banks and
trust companies to pay interest upon such demand deposits, the award or
awards of such funds shall be made in each case, without bids and without
requiring the payment of any bonus or interest, by the authority or
authorities which are by statute empowered to make the awards of such
funds upon bids. (RSMo 1939 § 8185)



In the event that there shall be no banking corporation,
association, trust company or individual banker in the territory within
which the depositary or depositaries of any public fund must, under the
applicable laws of this state, be located to become eligible for
selection, or in the event that the selected depositary or depositaries
within such territory shall fail to accept such award or awards of such
public funds as may be made, then the authority or authorities which are
by law empowered to make such selection of depositaries and awards of
public funds thereto are authorized and empowered to select as depositary
or depositaries such banking institutions located outside the territorial
limits aforesaid as such authority or authorities may deem the safest and
most convenient depositary or depositaries for such public fund. (RSMo
1939 § 8186)



No bank or trust company wherein any deposits of private or
public moneys shall be made shall become obligated or liable on account
thereof except for the safekeeping thereof and for the payment of the
amount thereof with interest thereon, if any, which said depositary may
have contracted to pay. All banks and trust companies and other banking
institutions now or hereafter engaged in business in this state shall be
and they are hereby authorized with respect to any and all such funds
deposited with them to provide and maintain the security for such
deposits as may be by law required. (RSMo 1939 § 8187)



All banks and trust companies and other banking institutions now
or hereafter engaged in business in this state shall be and they are
hereby likewise authorized with respect to funds of the United States
government or of any agency or instrumentality thereof, or funds held
under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act and amendments thereof, or the
provisions of any other act of congress, which may be deposited with
them, to provide and maintain security for such deposits as may be by
such laws required. All banks and trust companies and other banking
institutions now or hereafter engaged in business in this state shall be,
and they are hereby, likewise authorized, with respect to funds of any
housing authority created under chapter 99, RSMo, and amendments thereof,
which may be deposited with them, to provide and maintain security for
such deposits, as may be required under any agreement of any such housing
authority with the United States, or any agency or instrumentality
thereof, for loans, grants-in-aid, annual contributions or other
financial assistance to such housing authority, or as may be required
under any general depositary agreement or any fiscal agent agreement of
any such housing authority with any such bank or trust company executed
pursuant to any such annual contributions contract. (RSMo 1939 § 8188,
A.L. 1953 p. 660)

part or parts into which said funds are divided shall, in the judgment of

responsibility for the funds of the county, until a depositary shall be
selected and the funds deposited therein, or for any misappropriation of
such funds in any manner by him. (RSMo 1939 § 13861)

15, article IV, Constitution of Missouri, outright or by repurchase
agreement. Such obligations and agreements shall be purchased through

the United States government, hereafter referred to as federally insured

best interest of the county as determined by the county treasurer. When
such federally insured institutions are unwilling or unable to provide
such obligations and agreements, the county may purchase them from
federally insured institutions in any adjacent county in Missouri. The
investment authority granted by this section shall be in addition to the
investment authority otherwise granted a county by law. (L. 1994 H.B.
