(A) (1) The City Treasurer shall deposit, and at all times keep on deposit, for safekeeping in banks, capital stock financial institutions, or qualifying mutual financial institutions of approved and responsible standing, all money collected, received, or held by him or her as City Treasurer. These deposits shall be subject to all regulations imposed by law or adopted by the City Council for the receiving and holding thereof. The fact that a stockholder, director, or other officer of the bank, capital stock financial institution, or qualifying mutual financial institution is also serving as Mayor, a member of the City Council, as a member of the Board of Public Works, or as any other officer of the city shall not disqualify the bank, capital stock financial institution, or qualifying mutual financial institution from acting as a depository for the city funds.
(2) The City Council shall require from all banks, capital stock financial institutions, or qualifying mutual financial institutions a bond in such penal sum as may be the maximum amount on deposit at any time, less the amount insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or, in lieu thereof, security given as provided in the Public Funds Deposit Security Act, to secure the payment of all such deposits and accretions. The City Council shall approve this bond or giving of security. The City Treasurer shall not be liable for any loss of any money sustained by reason of the failure of any such depository so designated and approved.
(Neb. RS 17-607)
(B) The insurance afforded to depositors in banks, capital stock financial institutions, or qualifying mutual financial institutions through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation shall be deemed and construed to be a surety bond or bonds to the extent that the deposits are insured or guaranteed by that corporation, and for deposits so insured or guaranteed, no other surety bond or bonds or other security shall be required.
(Neb. RS 77-2362)
(C) (1) Neb. RS 77-2366 shall apply to deposits in capital stock financial institutions.
