VII. NEW BUSINESS

CCLT Bank Account Review: LaBrunerie shared that the CCLT has approximately

$129,000 at First Mid Bank. First Mid Bank is now offering a liquid, no-fee money market

account at 3% APY. LaBrunerie recommends moving a large portion of that $129,000 to

the proposed money market account, while leaving some funds in the current account so

that staff still has access to a debit card for bill payments. Stanton stated that he would

like to look into rates that other banks are offering, LaBrunerie suggested staying with

First Mid Bank for now and moving $90,000 into the proposed account, and doing an RFP

process in the summer.

First Mid Bank: Stanton
