this draft, when compared with the draft dated July 17, 1995, are as follows: . Section IB. Bank deposits are no longer required to have collateralization. However, the policy

Government Securities, agency securities, city securities or general obligation debt of other
Wisconsin governmental units. . Section 2C5 adds as an eligible investment securities issued by the City and other Wisconsin
governmental units. This is lo maintain consistency between City investments and collateral on
Certificates of Deposits.
