Request for approval of a Third Party Custodial Agreement between Harris County, Zions Bancorporation National Bank (Amegy Bank), and Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N.A. so that collateral services can be obtained from Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N.A. for deposits held at Amegy Bank.

Background and Discussion:
The Harris County Toll Road has a Custodial Account Agreement with Amegy Bank. Amegy is currently
providing pledged collateral as required by law, however, they are unable to provide the type of reporting the
County requires without manual input. Amegy has a new relationship with Bank of New York Mellon that will
provide the reporting that we require. Amegy has suggested we move our collateral services to the Bank of
New York Mellon portal.
Please note: The Third Party Custodial Agreement between Harris County, Zions Bancorporation
National Bank (Amegy Bank), and Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company N.A. has been originally approved on June 12th. However, the request was missing the agreement portion of the backup that requires the Judge's Signature.
Expected Impact:
More efficient reporting of daily collateral.
Alternative Options:
Continue to have Amegy manually create the reporting we require.
