d. Banking Services Agreement<br />

Vice President Brewington stated the fiscal services staff has been looking at<br />

improving banking services for the District. Request for Proposals went out<br />

recommend this institution because they have many service enhancements<br />

that we don’t have with our current bank, they have exceptional rates, are<br />

locally managed, have a strong financial record nationally, superior customer<br />

service, and after-market services. Mike Garcia and Chris Winek from<br />

Farmers & Merchant Bank were introduced. They will head up the transition<br />

process. They expressed their appreciation for this opportunity and look<br />

forward to working with the District.<br />
