Winter Park Water and Sanitation District <br /> ' NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br /> (continued) <br /> ' December 31, 2010 and 2009 <br /> ' Deposits with financial institutions <br /> The Colorado Public Deposit Protection Act (PDPA) requires that all units of local <br /> ' government deposit cash in eligible public depositories. Eligibility is determined by <br /> state regulators. Amounts on deposit in excess of federal insurance levels must be <br /> collateralized. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the federal insurance limit was <br /> ' $250,000. The eligible collateral is determined by the PDPA. PDPA allows the <br /> institution to create a single collateral pool for all public funds. The pool for all the <br /> uninsured public deposits as a group is to be maintained by another institution or held <br /> ' in trust. The market value of the collateral must be at least equal to 102% of the <br /> aggregate uninsured deposits. The State Commissioners for banks and financial <br /> services are required by statute to monitor the naming of eligible depositories and <br /> reporting of the uninsured deposits and assets maintained in the collateral pools. <br /> ' Custodial credit risk - deposits <br /> ' Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the District's deposits <br /> may not be returned to it.
