The existing contract is a piggy-backing relationship based upon The City of Ocala. In August of 2018, the Commission approved extending the City's banking relationship with SunTrust for one year with a one-year renewal option to allow the City to negotiate its relationship with SunTrust or to issue a solicitation for banking services. In March 2019, the Finance Department negotiated with SunTrust to secure an increase in interest rates. In favor of a two-year extension, SunTrust agreed to offer 1.50% on the City's compensating balance as well as all balances above the compensating balance. This represents a .75% increase on the compensating balance and .25% increase over the current rate of excess funds. Further, SunTrust agreed to offer an additional one-year renewal option. This extension of services will allow the City to review and negotiate its relationship with SunTrust or issue and evaluate a solicitation for banking services. Issue: Should the City Commission approve a two-year extension of banking services with SunTrust Bank, with an additional one-year renewal option? Recommendations: Staff recommends the City Commission approve a two-year extension of banking services with SunTrust Bank, with an additional one-year renewal option, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the extension agreement. Attachments: SunTrust, City of Ocoee extension agreement letter. Financial Impact: There is no financial impact at this time. Approval of the extension could result in favorable interest earnings for the City of Ocoee.
