9-4-818. Deposits by political subdivisions; applications by, and approval of, banks; rate of interest; defaults.

(a) Applications by banks and savings and loan associations shall be submitted to the proper governing board and shall be acted upon by the proper governing board as soon thereafter as practicable. Prior to the deposit, the board shall negotiate the rate of interest applicable to the deposit. No monies shall be deposited by any treasurer except in banks and savings and loan associations which have been approved by the proper governing board.

(b) If any depository defaults, the treasurer for the local government may sell any or all collateral that is pledged as security for the deposit of public funds in the depository at public or private sale. Notice of the sale of the collateral is required only if the treasurer determines that the collateral is illiquid. If notice is required, it shall be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or counties in which real estate, in the case of mortgages, or local governments, in the case of local government bonds, are located, once each week for three (3) consecutive weeks.
