desire to participate in the second issue of the

accounts .

a representative from Barnett Bank explained the
procedure thatwas used to determine the interest
rate. Jim Jarboe, Deputy City Manager, explained

the only item considered; many other services and

given to Maureen King , City Clerk, for safe keeping .
