MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 7, 1999
TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager
FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: OFFICIAL BANK/SERVICE FEES
Periodically, Finance conducts a review of the City's fees and service charges for
banking services. The process is done to assure that: 1) our present provider (Firstar
St. Anthony Bank) remains competitive in the market place and 2) new marketing and
industry trends for banking services are periodically reviewed.
Currently, all of the City's checking accounts are on a "waived fee" status. On the
surface one could assume that the City is receiving free checking. However, this
assumption would be incorrect. Monthly, service charges and transaction fees are paid
• with a portion of interest earnings earned on the account.
Each year there are approximately 6,000 to 7,000 transactions that take occur in the
City's checking accounts that are subject service fees.
This year, I compared Firstar St. Anthony to First Bank/US Bank offered through the
4/M Fund sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities. Like Firstar St. Anthony,
First Bank (4/M Fund) offers a "free checking services" program. As is the case with
Firstar St. Anthony, the fees for checking transactions are paid for with a portion of
interest earnings earned on the account.
A comparison of the service fees is as follows:
Interest allocated for service fees:
Firstar St. Anthony .14%
First Bank/US Bank .13%
Interest earned on account (sweep account):
Firstar St. Anthony 4.50% to 5.25%
First Bank/US Bank 4.50% to 5.25%
Both firms offer the sweep account concept and are relatively equal in their charges for
• services and interest earnings.
Commercial Checking
Firstars Commercial Checking keeps up with the complex nature of
your business.It gives you access to a wealth of cash management
services,plus other services that help you manage your entire business.

Credit Rate tied to US Treasury yields and based upon balances
maintained This rate is applied to the Average Positive Collected
Balance less reserve requirements. By maintaining balances in your I
account,monthly fees for many banking services may be reduced i
or eliminated
