BACKGROUND:
On September 6, 2005 a Request for Proposal (RFP) for various banking services was issued by the Columbus City Treasurer's Office. Proposals were received from six (6) local banks and subsequently reviewed by the Columbus Depository Commission, which recommended, subject to the approval of City Council, the award of banking services to specific banks on December 2, 2005. All such banks are currently eligible depositories of the City of Columbus, pursuant to Chapter 321.04 of the Columbus City Code. Approval is based upon Applications for the Deposit of Public Funds, which were submitted by each bank and approved at a meeting of the Columbus Depository Commission held on December 27, 2007.

At that time, $7,000.00 was authorized on behalf of the Division of Power and Water. The City Treasurer now wishes to add $25,000.00 to its contract.
