Sec. 4. (a) Each officer designated in section 1 of this chapter may, subject to the restrictions provided in IC 5-13-8-9(a) through IC 5-13-8-9(e), deposit, invest, or reinvest any funds that are held by the officer and available for investment in transaction accounts issued or offered by a designated depository of a political subdivision for the rates and terms agreed upon periodically by the officer making the investment and the designated depository.
(b) The investing officer making a deposit in a certificate of deposit shall obtain quotes of the specific rates of interest for the term of that certificate of deposit that each designated depository will pay on the certificate of deposit. Quotes may be solicited and taken by telephone. A memorandum of all quotes solicited and taken shall be retained by the investing officer as a public record of the political subdivision under IC 5-14-3. If the deposit is not placed in the designated depository quoting the highest rate of interest, the investing officer shall:
(1) place the deposit in the depository quoting the second or third highest rate of interest; and
(2) note the reason for placing the deposit on the memorandum of quotes.
(c) If all of the designated depositories of a political subdivision decline to issue or receive any deposit account, or to issue or receive the deposit account at a rate of interest equal to the highest rate being offered other investors, investments may be made in the deposit accounts of any financial institution designated for state deposits as a depository by the state board of finance under IC 5-13-9.5.
