The treasurer shall deposit the moneys in participation units in the public deposit investment pool established pursuant to RSA 383:22, or in federally insured banks chartered under the laws of New Hampshire or the federal government with a branch within the state, except that funds may be deposited in banks outside the state if such banks pledge and deliver to a third party custodial bank or the regional federal reserve bank collateral security for such deposits of the following types: (a) United States government obligations, (b) United States government agency obligations; or (c) Obligations of the state of New Hampshire in value at least equal to the amount of the deposit in each case. II. The amount of collected funds on deposit in any one bank shall not at any time exceed the sum of its paid-up capital and surplus. III. The treasurer shall keep in suitable books provided for the purpose a fair and correct account of all sums received into and paid from the district treasury, and of all notes given by the district, with the particulars thereof. At the close of each fiscal year, the treasurer shall make a report to the district, giving a particular account of all of the treasurer's financial transactions during the year.
