Background and Discussion:

PNC Bank is the current facility provider for Commercial Paper, Series K. The agreement will expire on April 22, 2025. The County sent out RFPs for selection of a new facility and received four responses with fees ranging from 21 bps to 40 bps for a 3-year term and 23 bps for a 5-year term. The County has selected Truist Bank as a new facility provider having the lowest facility fee of 23 bps for a 5-year term.

 

Expected Impact:

Under a new facility provider, facility fees will decrease from 0.25% to 0.23% which will generate an annual savings of $44,000.
