<br />In accordance with applicable Minnesota statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks authorized by the City
<br />Council, including checking accounts and certificates of deposits. The following is considered the most significant risk
<br />associated with deposits:
<br />Custodial credit risk— In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits may
<br />be lost.
<br />Minnesota statutes require that all deposits be protected by federal deposit insurance, corporate surety bond, or collateral.
<br />The value of collateral pledged must equal 110% of the deposits not covered by federal deposit insurance or corporate
<br />surety bonds. Authorized collateral includes treasury bills, notes, and bonds; issues of U.S. government agencies;
<br />general obligations rated "A" or better; revenue obligations rated "A" or better; irrevocable standby letters of credit
<br />issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank; and certificates of deposit. Minnesota statutes require that securities pledged as
<br />collateral be held in safekeeping in a restricted account at the Federal Reserve Bank or in an account at a trust
<br />department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned or controlled by the financial institution
<br />furnishing the collateral.
<br />The City (including Elk River Municipal Utilities) has an investment policy in place to address custodial credit risk for
<br />deposits, stating all deposits and investments must be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes 118A, with collateralization
<br />levels of 110% of the market value of the principal and accrued interest.

<br />$19,499,441. At December 31, 2018, all deposits were fully covered by federal depository insurance, surety bonds, or
<br />by collateral held by the City's agent in the City's name.
