County switches to new bank for four-year term
Douglas County commissioners moved to negotiate with Central National Bank to take over the county’s checking accounts from US Bank for up to four years. The accounts reach 40 million dollars twice yearly during property tax payments, and seven banks competed before Central National won the committee’s unanimous support. Negotiations continue with a Sept 23 proposal to the commission, with details to be released after a tentative deal.
