§ 205-65 — Treasurer; deposit of funds

The treasurer of the Peoria Civic Center Authority shall be the legal custodian of all funds derived from the issuance of bonds provided for under this Article and of all revenues derived from the operation of any project under this Article and of all other revenues from whatever source received. The treasurer shall keep all funds and monies belonging to the Peoria Civic Center Authority in such places of deposit as may be designated by resolution of the Board of Commissioners, provided, however, that only a regularly organized State or national bank which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or a savings and loan association which is a member of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation may be designated as a depository. When a bank or savings and loan association has been designated as a depository it shall continue as such depository until 10 days have elapsed after a new depository is designated and has qualified by furnishing the statements of resources and liabilities as required by this Section. When a new depository is designated, the Board of Commissioners shall notify the surety of the treasurer of that fact, in writing, at least 5 days before the transfer of funds. The treasurer shall be discharged from responsibility for all funds or money which he deposits in a designated bank or savings and loan association, while the funds and money are so deposited. The treasurer may, and at the direction of the Authority shall, invest all monies of the Authority not needed within 30 days thereafter in direct or fully guaranteed obligations of the United States Government or in certificates of deposit of banks or savings and loan associations eligible as depositories of funds of the Authority and fully secured by such obligations. No bank or savings and loan association shall receive public funds as permitted by this Section, unless it has complied with the requirements established pursuant to Section 6 of the Public Funds Investment Act.
