A supervisory deputy clerk may accept service on behalf of the clerk, chief deputy or financial deputy in their absence. (c) The clerk shall take all reasonable steps to deposit funds into interest bearing accounts or instruments within, but not more than, fifteen (15) days after having been served with a copy of the order for such investment.

(f) It shall be the responsibility of counsel to notify the clerk regarding disposition of funds at maturity of a timed instrument. In the absence of such notice funds invested in a timed instrument subject to renewal will be reinvested for a like period of time at the prevailing interest rate. Funds invested in a timed instrument not subject to renewal will be re-deposited by the clerk into the Registry Account of the court, which is a non-interest-bearing account. (g) Service of notice by counsel as required by LR 67-2(f) shall be made as provided in LR 67-2(b) not later than fifteen (15) days prior to maturity of the timed instrument. (h) Any change in terms or conditions of an investment shall be by court order only, and counsel will be required to comply with LR 67-2(a) and (b). LR 77-1.
