ARKANSAS
THE CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE. ARKANSAS
To: Mayor and City Council
Thru: Paul Becker, Finance Director
From: Marsha Hertweck, Accounting Director
Date: August 17, 2016
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of a five year contract with First Security Bank for investment
management services.
Background
In 1999, the State of Arkansas approved Act 1341 which provided for expanded investment
opportunities for local municipalities. After the changes to the State Law the City's Investment
Policy was amended and City staff felt it was prudent to solicit investment management services.
The investment of the City's funds is governed by the City's Investment Policy and City staff works
closely with the investment manager to ensure prudent care over the City's assets. There is
approximately 101 million dollars in the City's current investment portfolio.
Discussion
In June 2016, the City formed a selection committee and solicited proposals for investment services.
Following the applicable rules and regulations of the procurement process, First Security Bank was
selected by the committee to provide these services and a contract is being presented at this time for
investment management services.
Costs
The fee for investment management services with First Security Bancorp is 10 basis points of the
value of the account assets if the balance is over $25,000,000. This is the same price as the past
contract.
CITY OF
City of Fayetteville, Arkansas
Vendor: First Security Bank
ARKANSAS Contract: Investment Management Services
Renewable Terms: One year with four one-year renewals
THIS INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made and entered into by and between the
CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE, ARKANSAS, an Arkansas municipal corporation, by its Mayor and City Clerk, duly
authorized by action of its City Council (the "City") and FIRST SECURITY BANK, an Arkansas banking corporation,
by its Sr. Vice President and Trust Officer, duly authorized by its Board of Directors ("FSB").
WHEREAS, the City of Fayetteville solicited Requests for Statements of Qualifications for Investment
Management Services pursuant to its RFQ No. 16-08; and
WHEREAS, First Security Bank submitted a response to the Request for Statements of Qualifications
which was, after examination of responses received from other qualified persons, accepted by proper action of
the City Council of the City of Fayetteville.
Now THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations of the parties hereto, for
other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be bound, the parties agree as follows:
01. Appointment of Investment Manager: The City of Fayetteville hereby appoints First Security Bank to act as
investment manager with respect to those financial assets of the City of Fayetteville (the "Account Assets").
First Security Bank will furnish an investment program to maximize the financial returns on the Account
Assets while adhering to the City of Fayetteville's Investment Policy and consideration of investment risks.
02. Custody of Account Assets: First Security Bank will act as custodian for all of the Account Assets acting
through its Trust Division. All Account Assets shall remain in the physical possession of First Security Bank as
custodian. First Security Bank shall, during the effectiveness hereof, maintain fiduciary liability insurance
with limits of liability not less than $2,000,000. A copy of said policy shall be presented to the City of
Fayetteville within ten (10) business days of contract award.
03. Management Authority: The City of Fayetteville hereby authorizes First Security Bank to place orders or
otherwise give instructions for the purchase, sale, or exchange of securities on behalf of the City of
Fayetteville which are included in the Account Assets without prior consultation or ratification by the City of
Fayetteville, giving and granting to First Security Bank, complete discretion as to the nature, amount and
timing of all securities transactions, subject only to those restrictions, limitations and guidelines which are
set out in the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Investment Management Policy which is attached hereto as
Appendix A and made a part hereof by this reference, which is incorporated in Resolution No. 169-99, duly
adopted by the City Council of the City on December 21, 1999 (the "Investment Policy"), The City of

Assets shall be on a delivery versus payment basis.

04. Fees: As compensation for its services pursuant hereto, First Security Bank will be paid a fee equal to 14
basis points of the average Account Assets if the average market value of the Account Assets are less than
$25 million during a calendar month; and a fee equal to 10 basis points of the average market value of the
Account Assets if the average market value of the Account Assets are greater than $25 million during a
calendar month. The foregoing fees of First Security Bank do not include fees for brokerage services, if
incurred, in connection with the purchase or sale of any security which is or is to become a part of the
Account Assets. All fees of First Security Bank and any brokerage fees payable with respect to the Account
Assets shall be paid from the Account Assets and shall be separately accounted for in all reports provided to
the City of Fayetteville.
05. Changes in Scope or Price: Changes, modifications, or amendments in scope, price or fees to this contract
shall not be allowed without a prior formal contract amendment approved by the Mayor and the City
Council in advance of the change in scope, cost or fees.
06. Brokerage:
a. Selection of Broker. The City of Fayetteville authorizes First Security Bank to place orders for
purchases and sales of securities and financial assets through any broker or dealer it chooses,
including a broker or dealer which is affiliated with or under common control with First Security
Bank. In selecting a broker or dealer for any transaction or series of transactions, First Security
Bank will consider such factors as net price, execution, availability of research, and other factors
which First Security Bank reasonably believes to be appropriate for purposes of making that
decision. The fact that the fees paid for brokerage services for the broker or dealer selected by
First Security Bank are greater than fees for which similar services could be obtained, shall not be
a basis for liability to First Security Bank.
Aggregation of Purchases. The City of Fayetteville agrees that First Security Bank may aggregate
sale and purchase orders of securities with similar orders being made simultaneously for other
accounts managed by First Security Bank, or for accounts of affiliates of First Security Bank if, in
the judgment of First Security Bank, aggregation of such orders will result in a net savings to the
City of Fayetteville with respect to the purchase or sale order for the particular security.
07. Monthly Reports: The Custodian shall provide the City of Fayetteville with monthly reports of the Account
Assets in a format consistent with the reporting requirements of the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the City of Fayetteville. The Custodian and First Security Bank
shall provide such other and further information as the City of Fayetteville may reasonably require in
connection with the Account Assets.
08. Voting of Equity Securities: Unless otherwise directed by the City of Fayetteville, First Security Bank is
authorized, in its discretion, to take such action as it deems appropriate with respect to any proxy received
with respect to any equity securities which may be or become a part of the Account Assets from time to
time.

arising out of this Agreement, excepting only losses suffered as a result of negligence, bad faith, or willful
misconduct of First Security Bank.
