Curtis Slated to Continue Texas Commerce Bank Contract
Curtis Slated urged approval of a bid by Texas Commerce Bank which has held the city account for about 29 years. The bid for a two and a half year contract was unanimously accepted. The city will earn one-half percent over the Treasury bill rate on investments, versus one percent under the previous TCB contract. Miller notes the change could reduce annual revenue by roughly $110,000 to $150,000 as T-bill rates hover around 4.5 percent.
