HUDSON CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
SUMMIT COUNTY, OHIO

NOTES TO THE BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2018

NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS - (Continued)

Protection of the District's deposits is provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), by
eligible securities pledged by the financial institution as security for repayment, or by the financial
institutions participation in the Ohio Pooled Collateral System (OCPS), a collateral pool of eligible
securities deposited with a qualified trustee and pledge to the Treasurer of State to secure the repayment of
all public monies deposited in the financial institution.

Investments in stripped principal or interest obligations, reverse repurchase agreements and derivatives are
prohibited. The issuance of taxable notes for the purpose of arbitrage, the use of leverage and short selling
are also prohibited. An investment must mature within five years from the date of purchase unless matched
to a specific obligation or debt of the District, and must be purchased with the expectation that it will be
held to maturity. Investments may only be made through specified dealers and institutions. Payment for
investments may be made only upon delivery of the securities representing the investments to the Treasurer
or, if the securities are not represented by a certificate, upon receipt of confirmation of transfer from the
custodian.

A. Cash on Hand

At fiscal year end, the District had $1,300 of undeposited cash on hand which is included on the
financial statements of the District as part of “equity in pooled cash and investments”.

B. Deposits with Financial Institutions

At June 30, 2018, the carrying amount of all District deposits was $35,391,042 and the bank balance of
was $35,883,100. Of the bank balance, $1,173,322 was covered by the FDIC and $34,709,778 was
potentially exposed to custodial credit risk discussed below because those deposits were uninsured and
could be uncollateralized. Although all statutory requirements for the deposit of money had been
followed, noncompliance with Federal requirements could potentially subject the District to a
successful claim by the FDIC.

Custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of bank failure, the District’s deposits may not be
returned. The District has no deposit policy for custodial risk beyond the requirements of State statute.
Ohio law requires that deposits either be insured or protected by: (1) eligible securities pledged to the
District and deposited with a qualified trustee by the financial institution as security for repayment
whose market value at all times shall be at least 105 percent of the deposits being secured; or (2)
participation in the Ohio Pooled Collateral System (OPCS), a collateral pool of eligible securities
deposited with a qualified trustee and pledged to the Treasurer of State to secure the repayment of all
public monies deposited in the financial institution. OPCS requires the total market value of the
securities pledged to be 102 percent of the deposits being secured or a rate set by the Treasurer of
State. For 2018, the District’s financial institutions were approved for a reduced collateral rate of 50
percent through the OPCS.
