City depository bids from CNB and Security National Bank delay a two year contract decision. CNB would require 25 percent of funds on demand with 2 to 5 percent time deposits, while SNB proposes 90 percent invested with a 5 percent target return and a 10 cent item fee. Councilmembers weigh potential tax gains and risk as treasury rates fluctuate and a formal OCC inquiry is delayed.
