F-5 Change Money Market Checking Account to Bank of Stockton – Director Manuel • The director researched the Bank of Stockton and F&M bank at the request of the trustees to determine which bank had a lower minimum balance without a service fee charge. The trustees then inquired as to what the minimum balance for PNC would be in order to avoid a service charge and whether the board would continue to use PNC if it fell below the amount requested by the Bank of Stockton. To avoid service fee charges, PNC requires an additional $1,000. In addition to what the trustees asked for, the directors recommend that they vote to approve three actions. These actions would include closing the PNC checking account, approving the sale of $2,500 worth of shares by Philips Financial, and opening and funding a new business money marketing account with the Bank of Stockton.
