Background Information:
The Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA) requires the Investment Officer present the City’s investment policy to City Council for approval on an annual basis. Staff proposes several changes to the policy, which include the following:
• Modified section XIII-Diversification to adjust the “Maximum % of Portfolio” on the following investment types in the operating policy due to changes in the return on these types of investments:
o Commercial Paper from 30-40%
o Certificates of Deposits from 40-30%
• Modified section XIII-Diversification to adjust the investment type from constant dollar investment pools to Local Government Investment pools to reflect a change in the PFIA language in both the operating and reserve policy.
• Modified section XVI-Reporting to reflect that reporting to the Investment Committee is quarterly instead of monthly in both the operating and reserve policy.
These changes were presented to the Finance and Audit Committee on March 28, 2019. The modified Investment policies are attached.
