the Public Deposit Protection Act. First Bank was chosen to provide services for the Eagle and Avon offices.

protected 100%by the Public Deposit Protection Act in conjunction with the FDIC regulations.

revenues exceeded expenditures again in the 2nd quarter. The fund balance was in the salary account of about

were up$4,000 and expenses were down$21,000,the bottom line-$25,000 ahead of last year.
Commissioner Chandler-Henry wondered if the decrease in expenses was due to an office restructuring.

daily functions with the releases and had a better cross training configuration. She believed the interest rates would
continue to rise this year and expected growth in this review source.
