Recommendation for Council action:
APPROVE the changes to the following section of the Annual Statement of Investment Policy, effective November 1, 2019:
- VIII. Investment Parameters (A) Investment Of Funds
Addition of Extended Reserve portfolio. Existing policy allows for the investment of longer dated thirty (30) year, United States (U.S.) Government related debt. Currently, the General Pool consists of two investment portfolios: The Core portfolio, which provides for the day-to-day liquidity needs of City Departments and the Reserve portfolio which consists of funds that are not anticipated to be used within a one (1) year timeframe. The addition of the Extended Reserve portfolio, which will consist of highly conservative U.S. Treasury securities with a range of maturity of 5-10 years, will have the potential of enhancing overall interest earnings, which is consistent with longer dated investments.
