The Frankfort Park District Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, voted to approve the renewal terms for the district’s maturing Certificates of Deposit (CDs).
District staff reported that the current CDs, which carry an interest rate of 4.18%, will mature on December 27, 2025. Reinvesting or allocating these funds required formal board action.
According to the finance report, the current market rate for a 9-month CD is 4.10%. However, the bank agreed to honor that rate for a longer term of two 13-month CDs. Staff recommended the board accept this offer.
During the discussion, Commissioner Elmer Gentry asked if staff would investigate the difference between a Money Market Rate and the proposed CD rate. Following the discussion, Commissioner Mark Ponton made a motion to approve the CD renewal at the 4.10% rate.
The motion passed with a unanimous 5-0 vote.
