III. Finance Committee Update
A.
Resolution for Banking Authorization
Darrell explained that our bank is First Bank which was recently acquired by PNC. This has led to service issues with our bank accounts. Finance Committee will provide Board update on potential transition and status in August meeting. RFQ is not required per financial controls because this is for our bank accounts and not a paid vendor.
B.
