In the Matter of
FIRST MIDWEST BANK OF DEXTER,
DEXTER, MISSOURI
(Insured State Non-member Bank)
ORDER TO PAY CIVIL MONEY PENALTY
FDIC-01-149k
First Midwest Bank of Dexter, Dexter, Missouri
("Bank") has been advised of the right to receive a NOTICE OF
ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL MONEY PENALTY, FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF
LAW, ORDER TO PAY, AND NOTICE OF HEARING ("NOTICE") issued by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") detailing the
violations for which a civil money penalty may be assessed against the
Bank pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 ("Flood
Act"), as amended, 42 U.S.C. §4012a, section 8(i)(2) of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDI Act"), 12 U.S.C.
§1818(i)(2), and Part 339 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12
C.F.R. Part 339, and has been further advised of the right to a hearing
on the alleged charges under the Flood Act, 42 U.S.C. §4012a(f),
section 8(i) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(i), and the FDIC Rules
of Practice and Procedure, 12 C.F.R. Part 308.
Having waived those rights, the Bank entered into a STIPULATION AND
CONSENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF AN ORDER TO PAY CIVIL MONEY PENALTY with a
representative of the Legal Division of the FDIC, whereby solely for
the purpose of this proceeding and without admitting or denying any
violations, the Bank consented and agreed to pay a civil money penalty
in the amount of $4,300 related to the violations of the Flood Act, 42
U.S.C. §4012a, and Part 339 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12
C.F.R. Part 339, cited at the FDIC's August 28, 2000, examination, in
that it has made, increased, extended or renewed loans secured by a
building or mobile home located or to be located in a special flood
hazard area without requiring that the collateral be covered by flood
insurance; it has made such loans without sufficient flood insurance
coverage; and it has failed to provide the required notice to borrowers
regarding the availability of flood insurance.
The FDIC considered the matter and determined it had reason to believe
that the Bank has engaged or participated in violations of law or
regulations for which a civil money penalty of $4,300 is appropriate to
be assessed against the Bank, pursuant to the Flood Act, 43 U.S.C.
§4012a, section 8(i)(2) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(i)(2),
and Part 339 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations 12 C.F.R. Part 339.
ORDER TO PAY
CIVIL MONEY PENALTY
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Bank be, and hereby is, assessed a
civil money penalty of $4,300, pursuant to the Flood Act, 42 U.S.C.
§4012a, section 8(i)(2) of the FDI Act, 12 U.S.C. §1818(i)(2),
and Part 339 of the FDIC Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 339, the
receipt of which is acknowledged.
This Order to Pay Civil Money Penalty shall be effective upon issuance.
Pursuant to delegated authority.
Dated at Washington, D.C., this 19th day of November, 2001.
