Sec. 5. (a) The board of county commissioners of each county, and the fiscal body of each political subdivision other than a county, may, subject to the restrictions provided in IC 5-13-8-9(a) through IC 5-13-8-9(e), by ordinance or resolution authorize the investing officer of each, respectively, to invest in certificates of deposit of depositories that have not been designated by the local board of finance of either but have been designated by the state board of finance as a depository for state deposits under IC 5-13-9.5. An ordinance or a resolution adopted under this subsection must provide that the authority granted in the ordinance or resolution expires on a date that is not later than one (1) year after the date the ordinance or resolution is adopted.

(b) With respect to any money to be invested in a deposit account under subsection (a), the investing officer shall solicit quotes for the certificates of deposit from at least three (3) depositories. If only one (1) depository has been designated for the political subdivision by its local board of finance, a quote must be solicited from that depository. If two (2) or more depositories have been designated for the political subdivision by its local board of finance, at least two (2) quotes must be solicited from the depositories thus designated. The quotes may be solicited and taken by telephone. A memorandum of all quotes solicited and taken shall be retained by the investing officer as a public record of the political subdivision under IC 5-14-3.

(c) If a deposit is not placed in the designated depository quoting the highest rate of interest, the investing officer shall follow the procedures and priority for placing deposits that are set forth in section 4 of this chapter and note the reason for placing the deposit on the memorandum of quotes.
