City Faces Loss If It Declines West Texas Bank Warrants

The city may resist using its $527,000 deposit to cover $366,000 in warrants held by the now closed West Texas Bank and Trust Company. Mayor Brown says the city would deduct the amount from its deposit unless advised otherwise by counsel. State Banking Commissioner Patterson estimates a 20 percent loss on secured deposits, potentially pushing city losses above $100,000 and drawing on bonding companies. The issue could be brought to a head when the bank demands payment in a few days, risking the city becoming a preferred creditor if warrants are credited against deposits.
