The Court next considered the status of the ban on
outdoor burning as established by Brazos County Order #06-002.

conditions in the area. Chuck Frazier, Emergency Management
Coordinator, said that in his opinion it might be a week early
to lift the ban. Commissioner Mallard and the County Judge
both mentioned rain in the forecast. Mr. Frazier said that
rain has been in the forecast for the last two weeks.
Commissioner Mallard asked if we shouldn't do more to educate
the public on controlled burns rather than institute a ban.
Mr. Frazier replied that if you're going to ask the state to
back you up concerning fire control, then you should do your
part as a Commissioners Court to ban fires when red flags are
up. Commissioner Mallard moved to remove the burn ban. The
County Judge seconded the motion. Commissioner Mallard voted
"Aye". Commissioners Wassermann, Peters, Cauley and the County
Judge voted "No". The motion to remove the burn ban failed.

$50,000 to facilitate a short term low interest loan between

BANK DEPOSITORY CONTRACT
THIS DEPOSITORY CONTRACT is made and entered into on the date last herein written by
and between the DISTRICT CLERK OF BRAZOS COUNTY, TEXAS, herein after called
"DEPOSITOR" and Citibank Texas, N. A. a bank,
organized under the laws of the United States and authorized by law to do banking business in
BRAZOS COUNTY, Texas, and now conducting such business in said BRAZOS COUNTY,
Texas, hereinafter called "BANK."
I
DEPOSITOR through action of its' Commissioners Court, hereby designates BANK as a
depository for the period beginning JUNE 1, 2005 for a term of two years (herein the Initial
Term) with an option to renew for another two years, not to extend beyond MAY 31, 2009, on
the same terms and conditions as set forth herein for the Initial Term. This contract is to cover
all accounts and funds held in the Registry of the District Clerk of Brazos County for the Courts
of Brazos County by the DEPOSITOR and placed on deposit with BANK.
II
During the term of this depository contract, the DEPOSITOR will, through appropriate action of
its Commissioners Court, designate the officer, or officers, who singly or jointly will be
authorized to represent and act on behalf of the DEPOSITOR in any and all matters of every
kind arising under this Depository Contract and to (1) execute and deliver to the BANK funds or
fund transfer agreements (and any addenda thereto), (2) appoint and designate, from time to
time, a person or persons who may request withdrawals, orders for payment or transfers on
behalf of the DEPOSITOR in accordance with the electronic funds or fund transfer agreement
and addenda and (3) make withdrawals or transfers by written instrument.
III
Quarterly Bank Statements will include checks, deposit slips, transfer slips, and debit and credit
memos processed for ALL accounts. Quarterly statements showing debits, credits, and balances
of each separate account are required. Statements are to be submitted to the District Clerk's
Office no later than the 10`h of the month.
IV
DEPOSITOR may arrange for time deposits, and BANK may accept and hold such deposits
subject to payment in accordance with the terms of the deposit. hi the event funds for a time
deposit are withdrawn from a transaction or savings account, at maturity, BANK will deposit the
principal amount of the time deposit and any accrued interest in the DEPOSITOR'S account and
may not charge any penalties for early withdrawal. Interest shall be calculated at the prevailing
rates established from time to time by BANK for similar deposits. Time deposit maturities will
not extend beyond the termination of this Agreement without the expressed consent of the
BANK.
VOL -79 PAGE / d
V
All funds on deposit with BANK to the credit of DEPOSITOR shall be secured by collateral as
provided for in the Public Fund Collateral Act, Texas Government Code, Chapter 2257. The
total value of eligible security to secure a deposit of public funds must be in an amount not less
than the amount of the deposit of public funds, increased by the amount of any accrued interest
and reduced to the extent that the United States or an instrumentality of the United States insures
the deposit. The value of a surety bond is its face value. The value of an investment security is
its market value. BANK must receive notification of new deposits prior to 10:30 A.M. on the
day deposits are actually received. Twenty-four (24) hours notice is necessary on deposits
totaling in excess of $1,000,000 during any banking business day. In no event shall the amount
of DEPOSITOR funds on deposit with BANK pursuant to this depository contract exceed one
million dollars without prior written consent of BANK.
However, failure to give such notice does not excuse the BANK from properly securing these
deposits in accordance with this agreement and the Public Fund Collateral ACT within one (1)
business day of the deposit.
The Commissioners Court and/or its designated representative has the authority to reject any
collateral offered by BANK which is not deemed to be allowed under the Public Fund Collateral
Act or which is deemed to be of high security risk.
VI
BANK has heretofore or will immediately hereafter deliver to the
(hereinafter "CUSTODIAN"), collateral of the
kind and character above mentioned of sufficient amount and market value to provide adequate
collateral for the funds of DEPOSTTOR deposited with BANK. Said collateral or substitute
collateral, as herein provided for, will be kept and retained by CUSTODIAN in trust so long as
the depository relationship between DEPOSITOR and BANK shall exist hereunder and
thereafter so long as deposits made by DEPOSITOR with BANK hereunder, or any portion
thereof, shall have not been properly paid out by BANK to DEPOSITOR or on its order. The
agreement of the parties to place the collateral with the Custodian is attached hereto as Exhibit
"A" and made a part hereof for all purposes.
VII
Should BANK fail at any time to pay and satisfy, when due, any check, draft, or voucher
lawfully drawn against any deposit and the interest on such deposits, or in case BANK becomes
insolvent or in any manner breaches its contract with DEPOSITOR, DEPOSITOR shall give
written notice of such failure, insolvency or breach to BANK, and BANK shall have three (3)
business days to cure such failure, insolvency or breach. In the event that BANK shall fail to
cure such failure, insolvency or breach within three (3) business days, the parties hereto
authorize the CUSTODIAN to surrender to the Commissioners Court in and for the
DEPOSITOR the collateral being held by the CUSTODIAN upon receipt of a certificate
whereby the DEPOSITOR, through its authorized representative, certifies that BANK has failed
to perform its obligations under this contract has otherwise breached this contract or has become
insolvent.
VOLE R PAGE IIO
VII (CONT'D)
The BANK agrees and hereby instructs the CUSTODIAN that a copy of this agreement attached
to the certificate(s) shall serve as the BANK'S consent and approval for the CUSTODIAN to sell
and/or convert the collateral to the use of the DEPOSITOR. The BANK agrees and is bound to
provide any other approvals or consents the CUSTODIAN may require in order to release the
collateral for DEPOSITOR'S use. The parties further agree that the DEPOSITOR may seek an
order or declaration or order of a court of lawful jurisdiction in the event that the BANK does not
comply with this provision or in the event the CUSTODIAN refuses to surrender the collateral to
the Commissioners Court, with all costs and attorney's fees incurred by DEPOSITOR to be
reimbursed thereof, pay DEPOSITOR all damages and losses sustained by it, together with all
expenses of any and every kind incurred by it on account of such failure or insolvency, or sale,
accounting to BANK for the remainder, if any, of said proceeds or collateral remaining unsold.
VIII
Any sale, of such collateral, or any part thereof, made by DEPOSITOR or the CUSTODIAN, as
appropriate, hereunder may be either at public or private sale; provided, it shall give both the
DEPOSITOR, if the sale is made by the CUSTODIAN, and BANK ten (10) days notice of the
time and place where such sale shall take place, and such sale shall be to the highest bidder
therefore for cash. BANK shall not have the right to bid at such sale.
IX
If BANK shall desire to sell or otherwise dispose of any one or more of said securities pledged as
collateral and deposited with the CUSTODIAN, it may substitute for any one or more of such
securities other securities of the same or greater market value and of the character authorized
herein and by the Public Funds Collateral Act. Such right of substitution shall remain in full
force and may be exercised by BANK as often as it may desire; provided, however, that the
aggregate market value of all collateral pledged hereunder, shall be at least equal to the amount
of collateral required hereunder and by the Public Funds Collateral Act and other applicable law.
If at any time the aggregate market value of such collateral so deposited with CUSTODIAN be
less than the total sum of the DEPOSITOR'S funds on deposit with said BANK, BANK shall
immediately deposit with CUSTODIAN such additional collateral as may be necessary to cause
the market value of such collateral to equal the total amount of required collateral. BANK shall
be entitled to income on securities held by CUSTODIAN, unless there is insufficient collateral
on deposit with the CUSTODIAN to cover the public funds as required by law at the time the
request is made. Approval of the DEPOSITOR will be required in all circumstances and if the
collateral deficiency is not cured and the DEPOSITOR'S consent is not given (in writing), the
income becomes collateral for public funds to the extent of the collateral deficiency.
The consent of the DEPOSITOR must be obtained for a security to be released as collateral.
Before a security is released from collateral that is to be replaced, the BANK must present to the
DEPOSITOR the replacement collateral that is being offered, and the DEPOSITOR must accept
such replacement.
VOL~K PAGE _L!/.-
X
If at any time the collateral in the hands of the CUSTODIAN shall have a market value in excess
of the sum of balances due DEPOSITOR by BANK, the DEPOSITOR may authorize the
withdrawal of a specified amount of collateral by the BANK based on a written request from the
BANK to the Commissioners Court. BANK shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to substitute new collateral for collateral being held by TRUSTEE, provided that BANK
provides evidence reasonably satisfactory to the TRUSTEE that sufficient collateral will remain
after such substitution to satisfy the requirements of this depository contract and the Public
Funds Collateral Act.
XI
Either DEPOSITOR or BANK shall have the right to terminate this agreement prior to the
expiration date by providing advanced written notice to the other party of its election to do so,
and this agreement shall be void from and after the expiration of ninety (90) days after the
receipt of such notice, provided all provisions of this agreement have been fulfilled.
XII
Ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date of the Initial Term, either party wishing to exercise
its option to renew the contract for an additional two (2) year term (the Option Period), must
deliver written notice exercising such option to the non-exercising party as referred in Article
XVI herein.
XIII
When the relationship of DEPOSITOR and BANK shall have ceased to exist between
DEPOSITOR and BANK, and when BANK shall have properly paid out all deposits of
DEPOSITOR, it shall be the duty of the District Clerk to issue a certificate to that effect to the
BANK, the County Treasurer, and the Commissioners Court, and, if all obligations under this
agreement and applicable law have been fulfilled, Commissioners Court will issue written
authorization to the CUSTODIAN to deliver all collateral being held in the possession of the
CUSTODIAN to the BANK.
XIV
This contract is subject to, and incorporated, the current laws governing the relationships
between counties, depositories and custodian/trustees and related entities as established by the
Texas Local Govermnent Code and the Texas Government Code and any amendments or
revisions thereto. BANK warrants and represents that it shall comply with all applicable laws,
rules and regulations, which govern or apply to BANK in connection with this contract. BANK
further warrants that in the event that it is aware of any violation by BANK of applicable laws,
rules and regulations, it will bring the event to the attention of the CUSTODIAN and the
DEPOSITOR immediately and in writing within three (3) business days.
VO0Y PAGE //A
