2024 Cal Cities Voting Delegate Information Packet.pdf
1400 K Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95814 • 916.658.8200 • calcities.org

DATE: Wednesday, July 10, 2024
TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Oct. 16-18, 2024 Long Beach Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.

Taking place on Oct. 18, the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.

To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.

Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.

Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Wed., Sept. 25. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.

Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.

Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration is open on the Cal Cities website.

Council Action Advised by September 25, 2024
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.

Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.

Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.

Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Oct. 16, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Oct. 17, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Oct. 18, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.

The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.

Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.

Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Wednesday, Sept. 25. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

• Information Sheet: Cal Cities Resolutions and the General Assembly 1400 K Street, Suite 400, Sacramento, CA 95814 • 916.658.8200 • calcities.org General Assembly Voting Guidelines

1. One City One Vote. Each member city has a right to cast one vote on matters pertaining to Cal Cities policy.

2. Designating a City Voting Representative. Prior to the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo, each city council may designate a voting delegate and up to two alternates; these individuals are identified on the voting delegate form provided to the Cal Cities Credentials Committee.

3. Registering with the Credentials Committee. The voting delegate, or alternates, may pick up the city's voting card at the voting delegate desk in the conference registration area. Voting delegates and alternates must sign in at the voting delegate desk. Here they will receive a special sticker on their name badge and thus be admitted to the voting area at the General Assembly.

4. Signing Initiated Resolution Petitions. Only those individuals who are voting delegates (or alternates), and who have picked up their city’s voting card by providing a signature to the credentials committee at the voting delegate desk, may sign petitions to initiate a resolution.

5. Voting. To cast the city's vote, a city official must have in their possession the city's voting card and voting tool; and be registered with the credentials committee. The voting card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates but may not be transferred to another city official who is neither a voting delegate nor alternate.

6. Voting Area at General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.

7. Resolving Disputes. In case of dispute, the credentials committee will determine the validity of signatures on petitioned resolutions and the right of a city official to vote at the General Assembly.

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.

How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.

The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.

The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.

Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.

Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.

Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.

Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.

The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.

Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.

Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.

During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.

Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials
throughout the state.

For more information visit www.calcities.org/general-assembly Prior to the Annual Conference and Expo
Resolutions Committee
The Resolutions
Committee considers
all resolutions. General
Resolutions approved1 by
either a policy committee
or the Resolutions Committee are next
considered by the General Assembly.

General resolutions not approved, or
referred for further study by both a
policy committee and the Resolutions
Committee do not go to the General
Assembly. All Petitioned Resolutions
are considered by the General
Assembly, unless disqualified.2
During the Annual Conference and Expo
1 The Resolution Committee can amend a general resolution prior to sending it to the General Assembly. 2 Petitioned Resolutions may be disqualified by the Resolutions Committee according to Cal Cities Bylaws Article VI. Sec. 5(f).

On June 6, 2023, City staff approved Plan Review Number PR 2023-03 for the proposed exterior façade remodel and outdoor patio area improvements at 120 S.

City Council Regular Meeting Communication
Local Housing Trust Fund Grant Application Submission to the California Department of Housing and Community Development
Meeting
Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 7:00 PM
Agenda Group
CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5D
TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Bill Gallardo, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Adopt a Resolution and attachments, authorizing the submission of a Local Housing Trust Fund (LHTF) grant application to the California State Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD);

2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute all documents and agreements necessary to accept the funds, if awarded; and

3. Amend the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Operating Budget to accept any potential award of funds to be allocated to the City’s Housing Trust Fund (270).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-061, approving the 6th Cycle Housing Element, which committed City staff to seek funding to facilitate the development of affordable housing and to enhance housing programs. Specifically, Housing Element Policy 2.1 reinforces that commitment to pursue expanded financial resources to support the production of affordable housing units. Since the adoption of the Housing Element in 2022, the City has been successful in securing grant funding for the development of affordable housing units, including recent grant awards of $6,028,491.51 from CalOptima Health in November 2023 and $660,000 from HCD in August 2024 (Prohousing Incentive Program). On July 9, 2024, HCD announced the LHTF program Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) in the amount of $53 million. HCD will be accepting LHTF program applications from August 20 through September 17, 2024.

The LHTF is a program developed by HCD from Proposition 1, the Behavioral Health Services Program and Bond Measure, which authorized $300 million to the LHTF Program to provide matching grants to assist with funding for affordable housing. These funds are dedicated to the creation, rehabilitation, or preservation of affordable housing, transitional housing and emergency shelters. The LHTF program requires that no more than 20 percent of each allocation may assist moderate-income households, and at least 30 percent of each allocation required to assist extremely low-income households.  Eligible uses of the funds include, but are not limited to:

Loans for acquisition, predevelopment expenses and development of affordable rental housing projects, transitional housing projects, emergency shelters; and
Homeownership projects (i.e - down payment assistance to qualified first-time homebuyers, rehabilitation of homes owned by income-eligible homeowners).

The main qualifier for the LHTF NOFA is that the City has a Housing Trust Fund (Fund 270). In addition, since the City has had a long history of successful housing programs, including the first Affordable Housing Ordinance that was adopted by the City Council in 1993, the City is well qualified to receive a LHTF grant for the eligible uses outlined earlier in this report. Below are some examples of the City’s current Affordable Housing Programs that enhance the City's qualifications for the LHTF program:

Low and Moderate-Income Rent Program (Affordable Rental Program) The City has provided financial assistance to housing developments  that offer below-market rental rates for income-qualified households, with preferences granted to those who live and work in the city.  Brea's Affordable Rental Program remains the most sought-after Program with over 5,700 applicants on an interestlist to rent one of the 587 participating below-market units. Historically, this Program has had over 750 total participating units.

Senior Subsidy Program
The Senior Subsidy Program has been active for over 30 years, providing financial assistance to hundreds of low-income Brea seniors on fixed incomes, challenged to pay rent.

Homebuyer Assistance Program
The City of Brea requires almost all new residential developments (10-units or more) to provide a percentage of their units for-sale at affordable below-market prices to income-qualified buyers. For over 35 years, more than 250 Brea homes have been purchased by moderate and lower-income buyers through the City's Homebuyer Assistance Program, many of which were recipients of silent second mortgage loans utilizing the City's Housing Funds.

Housing Rehabilitation Program
The City has assisted hundreds of low-income Brea homeowners with home repairs, such as roof and plumbing leaks, electrical problems, etc., through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. For nearly 50 years, Brea has successfully obtained funding for the Program through the County of Orange via the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG).

Affordable Housing Ordinance
Chapter 20.40 of the Brea City Code (BCC) outlines the purpose, applicability and procedures for inclusionary affordable housing development. The goal of the ordinance is to expand the affordable housing stock in proportion with the overall increase in residential housing units that encourage the development of extremely low to moderate-income housing.

If awarded, staff recommends the City apply the grant funds towards:

The permanent supportive housing project at 323 North Brea Boulevard (in congruence with Housing Element Goal 2.0 and Policies 2.5, 3.1, and 5.2,) as an offset to the City funding of the project committed earlier this year. No additional funding commitment beyond what was authorized by City Council on May 7, 2024 is proposed.

To provide down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers (in congruence with Housing Element Policy

2.3); and
Potential development of new low-income housing units (in congruence with Housing Element Goal 2.0) By securing matching grant funds through the LHTF program, the City can help offset funding in the Housing Trust Fund (270). As of August 2024 the Housing Trust Fund (270) has an ending balance of $9,641,680.38. City staff is proposing to apply for $1 million in grant funding from the LHTF, with the City's $1 million match to be allocated from the Housing Trust Fund (270).

Adoption of the Resolution with Attachment 1 is a required document for the LHTF program application. Following the City Council's approval, staff would be able to  submit the LHTF program application and resolution for HCD to review. HCD anticipates to notify applicants, if awarded, no later than December 2024. Authorization of any Housing Trust Funds use would require subsequent City Council approval.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee reviewed staff's recommendation at the August 13, 2024 meeting and recommended to proceed to City Council for approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
Submission of Local Housing Trust Fund grant application has no fiscal impact.

If the City is awarded funding in the amount of up to $1 million in matching funds, the funding would be appropriated to the City's Housing Trust Fund (270). The City would also be required to provide a dollar-for-dollar match of $1 million, which would be appropriated from the City's Housing Trust Fund (270).

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Purchasing Agent or designees to issue purchase orders in an amount not-to-exceed $63,000 for the purchase of LION brand firefighter turnouts from AllStar Fire Equipment, Inc.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
In compliance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard 1851, firefighter turnouts shall be retired no more than 10 years from the date manufactured. The standard provides specification for mandatory features of the turnouts, which are present in the LION V Force model. From the same standard, an assessment of the department’s needs determined each firefighter will be issued 2 sets of turnouts. These turnouts are on a 5-year rotation to never have a firefighter with expired turnouts. The first part of this purchase is 10 full sets as part of the 5-year rotation and split between the Paramedic and Suppression Budget. The second part of this purchase is the purchase of 6 full sets of turnouts for our 6 newly hired firefighters and will serve as their second set. Funding for these 6 sets will be out of the Suppression budget.

The turnouts will be purchased sole source from AllStar Fire Equipment. Allstar Fire Equipment and LION have experienced a decades' long partnership in proudly supplying the California fire service with the highest quality personal protective equipment. AllStar Fire Equipment’s dedication to the highest standards of service and integrity has developed into their position as the Sole Source Distributor for LION's NFPA compliant LION® brand turnouts to the municipal fire service market in California & Hawaii. Allstar maintains significant inventory and a professional sales staff covering the entire states of California.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee reviewed staff’s recommendation at the August 13, 2024, meeting and recommended to proceed to City Council for approval.

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Police Department's purchase of one Trimble X9 Laser Scanner Package, including supplemental equipment/software and onsite training, from California Surveying & Drafting Supply (CSDS) for $91,034.03.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Police Department utilizes spatial mapping systems to document and aid in the investigation of major crime scenes and traffic collisions. In preparation for the FY 2023-25 budget, the Police Department submitted a Decision Package to purchase a laser scanner system to replace our aged and outdated current system. The Decision Package was approved as part of budget adoption.

The Police Department has identified the Trimble X9 laser scanner system as the most appropriate tool to meet the needs of our crime scene and collision investigators. In comparison to other similar brands, Trimble offers proprietary features unique to their products to include automatic calibration, in-field scan registration. In addition, the Trimble X9 and forensic software were built specifically for law enforcement applications.

Trimble informed the Police Department that their system and accessories are only available through California Surveying and Drafting Supply (CSDS) for the Southern California region. CSDS provided a quote for the purchase of the X9 laser scanner system, supplemental equipment and software, and onsite training of up to 15 employees. Including tax, the total cost will be $91,034.03.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This purchase was reviewed by the Finance Committee at their August 13, 2024 meeting and was recommended for approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
During budget preparations, the Revenue & Budget Division allocated $101,998.65 for this purchase in account 172- 21-2131-4639.  There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund.

City Council Regular Meeting Communication
Police Department Helmet & Face Shield Purchase
Meeting
Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 7:00 PM
Agenda Group
CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5G
FROM
Christopher Harvey, Police Lieutenant

RECOMMENDATION
Approve the purchase of 64 Busch Ballistic Helmets with Protech Riot Impact Visors from Curtis Blue Line for $56,364.48.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Brea Police Department’s issued ballistic riot helmets and shields are over 15 years old and a decade past their 5-year ballistic warranty. In preparation for the FY 2023-25 budget, the Police Department submitted a Decision Package to purchase 64 new ballistic riot helmets and face shields. The Decision Package was approved as part of the budget adoption.

Curtis Blue Line in Santa Fe Springs provided a quote for the purchase of the 64 helmets and visors (attached). The helmets are $669 each and the face shields are $144 each, for a total cost for 64 helmets and visors including tax and freight of $56,364.48.

Curtis Blue Line’s quote conforms to NPPGov National Buying Cooperative Member pricing, so this purchase is exempt from the normal bidding process and policies. The Purchasing Code, found in Brea City Code section 3.24, allows the City make purchases based on other contracts. The NPPGov National Buying Cooperative agreement was competitively bid on a national level, which offers the City better pricing based on higher bid volumes that the City could realize on its own. More information regarding NPPGov can be found here: https://nppgov.com/aboutus/ .

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This purchase was reviewed by the Finance Committee at their August 13, 2024 meeting and recommended for approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
During budget preparations in 2023, the Revenue and Budget Division allocated $42,000 for this purchase in account 172-21-2141-4343. Prices have increased since then, and in June 2024 the City Council approved an additional $14,000 toward this purchase. There will be no General Fund impact.

Meeting
Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 7:00 PM

CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5H
TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Alicia Brenner, Budget Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Purchasing Agent to issue purchase orders in an amount not-to-exceed $1,320,600 for various City vehicles and equipment described in the FY 2024-25 Vehicles and Equipment Schedule.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Each fiscal year, the vehicles used by various City departments are assessed to determine whether it is best to continue maintenance, retire, replace, or add new units.  The determining factors include excessive mileage, unit hours, service life expectancy, maintenance cost history, safety and environmental impacts.  The attached list indicates the replacements or additions that were approved by the City Council as part of the FY 2023-25 Operating Budget.  This list provides the equipment descriptions, quantities, estimated costs and departments where they will be assigned.  The Budget & Purchasing Division will solicit bids for the listed vehicles & equipment per the formal bidding requirements of the Brea Municipal Code, utilize competitively bid national cooperative agreements, or piggyback contracts to obtain the best available pricing for the City.

Staff requests that City Council authorize the Purchasing Agent to issue purchase orders after completing the best available pricing analysis without the need to return to the City Council for approval of the individual awards for the following main reasons:

Ensures the needed equipment is replaced in a timely fashion and without interruption in service; Meets manufacturing production cutoff dates;
Takes advantage of incentives and discounts; and
Expedites the purchase of these items.

Should any of the listed equipment be limited to a single source, the Purchasing Agent will verify and document the reasons for the sole source procurement prior to award and issue of purchase order.

To help facilitate operational and budgetary requirements, staff requests that City Council authorize the Purchasing Agent or Fleet Supervisor to make changes in the type and quantity of the listed equipment, subject to budget appropriations and the not-to-exceed amount requested.

Looking ahead, staff will incorporate this authorization as part of the biennial budget process to ensure City Council authorization is received in a timely manner.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee discussed this item at their August 13, 2024 meeting and is recommended for City Council approval.

SUMMARY/FISCAL IMPACT
There is sufficient funding available for the requested not-to-exceed amount of $1,320,600 for these purchases in the City's FY 2023-25 Operating Budget.  Of this amount $1,190,100 is budgeted in the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund (480) which funds costs associated to replacement of existing vehicles and equipment.  The difference of $130,500 is to fund new vehicles with funding from the Narcotics Enforcement Asset Seizure Fund (231) and the City's General Fund (110).  No additional appropriation is needed.

City Council Regular Meeting Communication
Statement of Investment Policy for the City/Brea Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency Meeting
Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 7:00 PM
Agenda Group
CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5I
TO
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM
Bill Gallardo, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Review and approve the City of Brea/Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency Statement of Investment Policy.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
By policy, the City Council is required to annually review and adopt an investment policy as recommended by the Investment Advisory Committee for the City and the Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency.

At the October 23, 2023 Investment Advisory Committee meeting (IAC), Chandler Asset Management (Chandler), the City's Portfolio Manager for investments other than Section 115 Trusts for Post Employment Benefits, recommended that the City adopt their model investment policy.

The key differences between the City’s current and Chandler's model policy are:

The City's Investment Policy is currently not certified. It has been in the past; however, since there has been no major changes to the policy, staff choose not to re-certify. The goal is to submit the new Investment Policy for certification with the California Municipal Treasurer's Association, which is good for two years for the total cost of $270. The current cost for the re-certification is $175 should the City decide to re-certify after the two-year term.

The attached documents include a "redline" as well as a "clean" copy. The edits in red indicate changes recommended by Chandler from their model policy in order to retain some of the direction that is present in Brea's existing policy (also attached).

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Investment Advisory Committee reviewed this item at the July 22, 2024 IAC meeting and recommended for City Council Approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
There is no fiscal impact from the adoption of the Statement of Investment Policy. However, the cost for policy certification is $270, which has been programmed in the Fiscal Year 2023-25 Budget. Staff will return in the future to program the recertification cost of $175 in subsequent fiscal years.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:

Authorized Investments
A more comprehensive list and description of the City’s authorized investments including guideline restrictions.

Risk Management
Includes language related to managing credit risk, namely credit rating downgrades.

Includes language related to managing market risk, namely limiting the Investment Portfolio duration to +/- 20% of the City’s chosen market benchmark.

This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Directors Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Directors (APT).

This investment policy was endorsed and adopted by the City Council and is effective as of the 20 day of August, 2024, and replaces any previous versions.

II. SCOPE
This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., including: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Assessment Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds, Debt Service Funds, Reserve Funds, Fiduciary Funds, Trust and Agency Funds, and any other funds that may be created from time to time.

This policy does not apply to retiree health care savings/trust/plan(s) or deferred compensation plans.

POOLING OF FUNDS
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

III. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and 2 diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
The Administrative Services Director and/or designee and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the Administrative Services Director and/or designee or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.

IV. OBJECTIVES
The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.
• SAFETY. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns. • LIQUIDITY. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. • RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.

V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’sinvestment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 and 53600 et seq.

The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the Administrative Services Director and/or designee.
3 The Administrative Services Director and/or designee will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the Administrative Services Director and/or designee.

The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.

The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.

VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.

Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Employees and investment officials shall disclose to any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.

VII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The Administrative Services Director and/or designee is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

Periodically, as deemed appropriate by the City and/or the City Council, an independent analysis by an external auditor shall be conducted to review internal controls, account activity and compliance with policies and procedures.
4 Investment Advisory Committee: An Investment Advisory Committee (“Committee”) is established to review and make recommendations on the Investment Policy and investment strategy of the City of Brea/Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency and to strengthen the internal control of the management of the City's funds. The following are the duties and responsibilities of the Committee:

A. Purpose

1. To review and make recommendations on investment policy and investment strategy of the City of Brea/Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency.

The function of the Committee is not to inhibit the daily operation of the Administrative Services Department, but to provide policy guidelines within which to work on a day-today basis. By this, it is meant that each individual trade need not be approved by the Committee at the time it is transacted provided that it falls within the scope of the Statement of Investment Policy.

Disclosure: Members of the Committee shall be required to comply with the Fair Political Practices Act reporting requirements (Form 700) on an annual basis and submit filings to the City Clerk’s Office.

VIII. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEPOSITORIES, AND BROKER/DEALERS To the extent practicable, the Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The Administrative Services Director and/or designee will determine which 5 financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.

The Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public City investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
• Institutions licensed by the state as a broker-dealer. • Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange. • Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and nonprimary government dealers. • Nationally or state-chartered banks.

All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the Administrative Services Director and/or designee with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The Investment Advisory Committee will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.

Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.

Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded.

If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price. 6 IX.

All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade. A monthly report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.

Monthly trust statements are reconciled to the Investment Reports by the City’s Accountant. The City’s Accountant performs reconciliation of the monthly bank statements.

XV. RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION

MITIGATING CREDIT RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
• The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy is designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio. • No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy. • The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City’s risk preferences.
• If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
• Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the City Council, the Investment Advisory Committee, Administrative Services Director and/or designee within two (2) business days. • If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.

MITIGATING MARKET RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.

The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different 14 interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
• The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements. • The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, unless the investment is for the Senior Low Cost Housing Subsidy Program, bond proceeds for the Reserve Fund, funded/capitalized interest fund; or the City Council has granted express authority to make that investment, either specifically or as part of an investment program approved by the City Council no more than three months prior to the investment.
• The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances. • When possible, a minimum of 25% of the portfolio should be in maturities of one year or less.

XVI. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.

XVII. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.

The Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to the chosen market benchmark(s), which will be included in the Monthly/Quarterly Report of Investments or a similar type of report. With the advisement of the City’s outside Investment Manager (if applicable), the Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark.
15 XVIII.REPORTING

FNMA. Like FHLB and FreddieMac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known as “FannieMae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.

GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “GinnieMae,” issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.

PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.

TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.

ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.

AVERAGE LIFE. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.

BANKER’S ACCEPTANCE. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade transactions.

It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is transferred to the bank which “accepts” the obligation to pay the investor.

BENCHMARK. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.

BROKER. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from their own position.

CALLABLE. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its maturity.

The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline, the issuer will likely call its current securities and reissue them at a lower rate of interest.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT REGISTRY SYSTEM (CDARS). A private placement service that allows local agencies to purchase more than $250,000 in CDs from a single financial institution (must be a participating institution of CDARS) while still maintaining FDIC insurance coverage.

CDARS is currently the only entity providing this service. CDARS facilitates the trading of deposits between the California institution and other participating institutions in amounts that are less than $250,000 each, so that FDIC coverage is maintained.

COLLATERAL. Securities or cash pledged by a borrower to secure repayment of a loan or repurchase agreement. Also, securities pledged by a financial institution to secure deposits of public monies.

COLLATERALIZED BANK DEPOSIT. A bank deposit that is collateralized at least 100% (principal plus interest to maturity). The deposit is collateralized using assets set aside by the issuer such as Treasury securities or other qualified collateral to secure the deposit in excess of the limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
20 COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMO). Classes of bonds that redistribute the cash flows of mortgage securities (and whole loans) to create securities that have different levels of prepayment risk, as compared to the underlying mortgage securities.

COLLATERALIZED TIME DEPOSIT. Time deposits that are collateralized at least 100% (principal plus interest to maturity). These instruments are collateralized using assets set aside by the issuer such as Treasury securities or other qualified collateral to secure the deposit in excess of the limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

COMMERCIAL PAPER. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.

COUPON. The rate of return at which interest is paid on a bond.

CREDIT RISK. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.

DEALER. A dealer acts as a principal in security transactions, selling securities from and buying securities for their own position.

DEBENTURE. A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.

DELIVERY VS. PAYMENT (DVP). A securities industry procedure whereby payment for a security must be made at the time the security is delivered to the purchaser’s agent.

DERIVATIVE. Any security that has principal and/or interest payments which are subject to uncertainty (but not for reasons of default or credit risk) as to timing and/or amount, or any security which represents a component of another security which has been separated from other components (“Stripped” coupons and principal). A derivative is also defined as a financial instrument the value of which is totally or partially derived from the value of another instrument, interest rate, or index.

DISCOUNT. The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when the cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as T-bills and banker’s acceptances, are known as discount securities. They sell at a discount from par and return the par value to the investor at maturity without additional interest. Other securities, which have fixed coupons, trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate for securities of that maturity and/or quality.

DIVERSIFICATION. Dividing investment funds among a variety of investments to avoid excessive exposure to any one source of risk.

DURATION. The weighted average time to maturity of a bond where the weights are the present values of the future cash flows. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a security to changes interest rates.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent federal City insuring deposits in U.S. banks and thrifts in the event of bank failures. The FDIC was created in 1933 to maintain public confidence and encourage stability in the financial system through the promotion of sound banking practices.

FEDERALLY INSURED TIME DEPOSIT. A time deposit is an interest-bearing bank deposit account that has a specified date of maturity, such as a certificate of deposit (CD). These deposits are limited to funds insured in accordance with FDIC insurance deposit limits.

These funds are not subject to the same SEC rules applicable to money market mutual funds.

MAKE WHOLE CALL. A type of call provision on a bond that allows the issuer to pay off the remaining debt early. Unlike a call option, with a make whole call provision, the issuer makes a lump sum payment that equals the net present value (NPV) of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call. With this type of call, an investor is compensated, or "made whole." MARGIN. The difference between the market value of a security and the loan a broker makes using that security as collateral.
21 MARKET RISK. The risk that the value of securities will fluctuate with changes in overall market conditions or interest rates.

MARKET VALUE. The price at which a security can be traded.

MONEY MARKET MUTUAL FUND. A mutual fund that invests exclusively in short-term securities.

Examples of investments in money market funds are certificates of deposit and U.S. Treasury securities. Money market funds attempt to keep their net asset values at $1 per share.

MUNICIPAL SECURITIES. Securities issued by state and local agencies to finance capital and operating expenses.

Mutual funds can be invested in various types of domestic and/or international stocks, bonds, and money market instruments, as set forth in the individual fund’s prospectus. For most large, institutional investors, the costs associated with investing in mutual funds are higher than the investor can obtain through an individually managed portfolio.

NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STATISTICAL RATING ORGANIZATION (NRSRO).

A credit rating City that the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States uses for regulatory purposes. Credit rating agencies provide assessments of an investment's risk. The issuers of investments, especially debt securities, pay credit rating agencies to provide them with ratings. The three most prominent NRSROs are Fitch, S&P, and Moody's.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENT. Short-term purchases of securities with a simultaneous agreement to sell the securities back at a higher price. From the seller’s point of view, the same transaction is a reverse repurchase agreement.

SAFEKEEPING. A service to bank customers whereby securities are held by the bank in the customer’s name.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an independent federal government City responsible for protecting investors, maintaining fair and orderly functioning of securities markets and facilitating capital formation.

The SEC promotes full 22 public disclosure, protects investors against fraudulent and manipulative practices in the market, and monitors corporate takeover actions in the United States.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION SEC) RULE 15C3-1. An SEC rule setting capital requirement for brokers and dealers. Under Rule 15c3-1, a broker or dealer must have sufficient liquidity in order to cover the most pressing obligations.

If the percentage falls below a certain point, the broker or dealer may not be allowed to take on new clients and may have restrictions placed on dealings with current client.

STRUCTURED NOTE. A complex, fixed income instrument, which pays interest, based on a formula tied to other interest rates, commodities or indices.

The Treasury issues both discounted securities and fixed coupon notes and bonds.

TREASURY BILLS. All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments and are called Treasury bills. The Treasury currently issues three- and six-month Tbills at regular weekly auctions. It also issues “cash management” bills as needed to smooth out cash flows.

TREASURY NOTES. All securities issued with initial maturities of two to ten years are called Treasury notes and pay interest semi-annually.

TREASURY BONDS. All securities issued with initial maturities greater than ten years are called Treasury bonds. Like Treasury notes, they pay interest semi-annually.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this investment policy is to identify various policies and procedures that will foster a prudent and systematic investment program designed to seek the City of Brea/Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency’s (“City”) objectives of safety, liquidity and return on investment through a diversified investment portfolio. The ultimate goal is to enhance the economic status of the City while protecting its pooled funds. This policy also serves to organize and formalize the City’s investment-related activities, while complying with all applicable statutes governing the investment of public funds. This policy is written to incorporate industry best practices and recommendations from sources such as the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA), California Municipal City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Directors Association (CMTA), California Debt and Investment Advisory Commission (CDIAC) and the Association of Public City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Directors (APT).

This investment policy was endorsed and adopted by the City Council and is effective as of the ______ day of ____________, 20XX, and replaces any previous versions.

II. SCOPE
This policy covers all funds and investment activities under the direct authority of the City, as set forth in the State Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq., including: General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Assessment Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Capital Projects Funds, Debt Service Funds, Reserve Funds, Fiduciary Funds, Trust and Agency Funds, and any other funds that may be created from time to time.

This policy does not apply retiree health care savings/trust/plan(s) or deferred compensation plans.

POOLING OF FUNDS
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies with regard to investment pricing, safekeeping and administration. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

III. PRUDENCE
Pursuant to California Government Code, Section 53600.3, all persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of the City are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the Prudent Investor Standard:
“…all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and Commented [MF1]: Recommended by Monica Lo
2 diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.”
The City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee and other authorized persons responsible for managing City funds acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes provided that the City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee or other authorized persons acted in good faith. Deviations from expectations of a security’s credit or market risk should be reported to the City Council in a timely fashion and appropriate action should be taken to control adverse developments.

IV. OBJECTIVES
The City’s overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The overriding objectives of the program are to preserve principal, provide sufficient liquidity, and manage investment risks, while seeking a market-rate of return.
 SAFETY. Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program.

Investments will be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, the City will diversify its investments by investing funds among a variety of securities with independent returns.  LIQUIDITY. The investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated.  RETURN ON INVESTMENTS. The investment portfolio will be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk constraints for safety and liquidity needs.

V. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City’s investment program is derived from California Government Code, Sections 41006 and 53600 et seq.

The City Council is responsible for the management of the City’s funds, including the administration of this investment policy. Management responsibility for the cash management of the City’s funds is hereby delegated to the City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee.

3 The City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee will be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of procedures and controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and employees. Such procedures will include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee.

The City may engage the services of one or more external investment advisers, who are registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to assist in the management of the City’s investment portfolio in a manner consistent with the City’s objectives. External investment advisers may be granted discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this investment policy.

The City's overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses may be inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s return and the cash flow requirements of the City.

VI. ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
All participants in the investment process shall act as custodians of the public trust.

Investment officials shall recognize that the investment portfolio is subject to public review and evaluation. Thus employees and officials involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could create a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions.

Employees and investment officials shall disclose to any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking any personal investment transactions with the same individual with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.

VII. INTERNAL CONTROLS
The City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management.

5 VIII. AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, DEPOSITORIES, AND BROKER/DEALERS To the extent practicable, the City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall endeavor to complete investment transactions using a competitive bid process whenever possible. The City’s Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director will determine which financial institutions are authorized to provide investment services to the City. It shall be the City’s policy to purchase securities only from authorized institutions and firms.

The City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall maintain procedures for establishing a list of authorized broker/dealers and financial institutions which are approved for investment purposes that are selected through a process of due diligence as determined by the City. Due inquiry shall determine whether such authorized broker/dealers, and the individuals covering the City are reputable and trustworthy, knowledgeable and experienced in Public City investing and able to meet all of their financial obligations. These institutions may include "primary" dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15c3-1 (uniform net capital rule).

In accordance with Section 53601.5, institutions eligible to transact investment business with the City include:
 Institutions licensed by the state as a broker-dealer.  Institutions that are members of a federally regulated securities exchange.  Primary government dealers as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank and nonprimary government dealers.  Nationally or state-chartered banks.
 The Federal Reserve Bank.
 Direct issuers of securities eligible for purchase.

Selection of financial institutions and broker/dealers authorized to engage in transactions will be at the sole discretion of the City, except where the City utilizes an external investment adviser in which case the City may rely on the adviser for selection.

All financial institutions which desire to become qualified bidders for investment transactions (and which are not dealing only with the investment adviser) must supply the City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director with audited financials and a statement certifying that the institution has reviewed the California Government Code, Section 53600 et seq. and the City’s investment policy. The Investment Advisory Committee will conduct an annual review of the financial condition and registrations of such qualified bidders.

Public deposits will be made only in qualified public depositories as established by State law. Deposits will be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or, to the extent the amount exceeds the insured maximum, will be collateralized in accordance with State law.

6 Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded.

If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

IX. AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS
The City’s investments are governed by California Government Code, Sections 53600 et seq. Within the investments permitted by the Code, the City seeks to further restrict eligible investments to the guidelines listed below.

Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.

Any investment currently held at the time the policy is adopted which does not meet the new policy guidelines can be held until maturity and shall be exempt from the current policy. At the time of the investment’s maturity or liquidation, such funds shall be reinvested only as provided in the current policy.

An appropriate risk level shall be maintained by primarily purchasing securities that are of high quality, liquid, and marketable. The portfolio shall be diversified by security type and institution to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual issuers.

COLLATERALIZATION OF BANK DEPOSITS. This is the process by which a bank or financial institution pledges securities, or other deposits for the purpose of securing repayment of deposited funds. The City shall require any bank or financial institution to comply with the collateralization criteria defined in California Government Code, Section 53651.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The City requires that Repurchase Agreements be collateralized only by securities authorized in accordance with California Government Code:
 The securities which collateralize the repurchase agreement shall be priced at Market Value, including any Accrued Interest plus a margin. The Market Value of the securities that underlie a repurchase agreement shall be valued at 102% or greater of the funds borrowed against those securities.  Financial institutions shall mark the value of the collateral to market at least monthly and increase or decrease the collateral to satisfy the ratio requirement described above.
 The City shall receive monthly statements of collateral.

XIII. DELIVERY, SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
DELIVERY-VERSUS-PAYMENT (DVP). All investment transactions shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis.

SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY. To protect against potential losses due to failure of individual securities dealers, and to enhance access to securities, interest payments and maturity proceeds, all cash and securities in the City’s portfolio shall be held in safekeeping in the City’s name by a third-party custodian, acting as agent for the City under the terms of a custody agreement executed by the bank and the City. All investment transactions will require a safekeeping receipt or acknowledgment generated from the trade. A monthly 13 report will be received by the City from the custodian listing all securities held in safekeeping with current market data and other information.

Monthly trust statements are reconciled to the Investment Reports by the City’s Accountant. The City’s Accountant performs reconciliation of the monthly bank statements. The periodic review of the investment portfolio, including investment types, purchase price, market values, maturity dates, and investment yields as well as conformance to the stated investment policy will be performed by the Investment Advisory Committee.

XIV. MAXIMUM MATURITY
To the extent possible, investments shall be matched with anticipated cash flow requirements and known future liabilities.

The City will not invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has by resolution granted authority to make such an investment.

XV. RISK MANAGEMENT AND DIVERSIFICATION

MITIGATING CREDIT RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Credit risk is the risk that a security or a portfolio will lose some or all its value due to a real or perceived change in the ability of the issuer to repay its debt. The City will mitigate credit risk by adopting the following strategies:
 The diversification requirements included in the “Authorized Investments” section of this policy areis designed to mitigate credit risk in the portfolio.  No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be deposited with or invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.  The City may elect to sell a security prior to its maturity and record a capital gain or loss in order to manage the quality, liquidity or yield of the portfolio in response to market conditions or City’s risk preferences.
 If a security owned by the City is downgraded to a level below the requirements of this policy, making the security ineligible for additional purchases, the following steps will be taken:
 Any actions taken related to the downgrade by the investment manager will be communicated to the City Council, the Investment Advisory Committee, City 14 Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee within two (2) business days.
 If a decision is made to retain the security, the credit situation will be monitored and reported to the City Council.

MITIGATING MARKET RISK IN THE PORTFOLIO
Market risk is the risk that the portfolio value will fluctuate due to changes in the general level of interest rates. The City recognizes that, over time, longer-term portfolios have the potential to achieve higher returns. On the other hand, longer-term portfolios have higher volatility of return. The City will mitigate market risk by providing adequate liquidity for short-term cash needs, and by making longer-term investments only with funds that are not needed for current cash flow purposes.

The City further recognizes that certain types of securities, including variable rate securities, securities with principal paydowns prior to maturity, and securities with embedded options, will affect the market risk profile of the portfolio differently in different interest rate environments. The City, therefore, adopts the following strategies to control and mitigate its exposure to market risk:
 The City will maintain a minimum of six months of budgeted operating expenditures in short-term investments to provide sufficient liquidity for expected disbursements.  The maximum stated final maturity of individual securities in the portfolio will be five (5) years, unless the investment is for the Senior Low Cost Housing Subsidy Program, bond proceeds for the Reserve Fund, funded/capitalized interest fund; or the City Council has granted express authority to make that investment, either specifically or as part of an investment program approved by the City Council no more than three months prior to the investment.
 The duration of the portfolio will generally be approximately equal to the duration (typically, plus or minus 20%) of a Market Benchmark, an index selected by the City based on the City’s investment objectives, constraints and risk tolerances.  When possible, a minimum of 25% of the portfolio should be in maturities of one year or less.

XVI. REVIEW OF INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO
The City Treasurer and/or Administrative Services Director and/or designee shall periodically, but no less than quarterly, review the portfolio to identify investments that do not comply with this investment policy and establish protocols for reporting major and critical incidences of noncompliance to the City Council.

21 GLOSSARY OF INVESTMENT TERMS
AGENCIES. Shorthand market terminology for any obligation issued by a government-sponsored entity (GSE), or a federally related institution. Most obligations of GSEs are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government. Examples are:

FFCB. The Federal Farm Credit Bank System provides credit and liquidity in the agricultural industry. FFCB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLB. The Federal Home Loan Bank provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLB issues discount notes and bonds.

FHLMC. Like FHLB, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation provides credit and liquidity in the housing market. FHLMC, also called “FreddieMac” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.

FNMA. Like FHLB and FreddieMac, the Federal National Mortgage Association was established to provide credit and liquidity in the housing market. FNMA, also known as “FannieMae,” issues discount notes, bonds and mortgage pass-through securities.

GNMA. The Government National Mortgage Association, known as “GinnieMae,” issues mortgage pass-through securities, which are guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.

PEFCO. The Private Export Funding Corporation assists exporters. Obligations of PEFCO are not guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the US government.

TVA. The Tennessee Valley Authority provides flood control and power and promotes development in portions of the Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi River valleys. TVA currently issues discount notes and bonds.

ASSET BACKED SECURITIES. Securities supported by pools of installment loans or leases or by pools of revolving lines of credit.

AVERAGE LIFE. In mortgage-related investments, including CMOs, the average time to expected receipt of principal payments, weighted by the amount of principal expected.

BANKER’S ACCEPTANCE. A money market instrument created to facilitate international trade transactions.

It is highly liquid and safe because the risk of the trade transaction is transferred to the bank which “accepts” the obligation to pay the investor.

BENCHMARK. A comparison security or portfolio. A performance benchmark is a partial market index, which reflects the mix of securities allowed under a specific investment policy.

BROKER. A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a transaction for which the broker receives a commission. A broker does not sell securities from their own position.

CALLABLE. A callable security gives the issuer the option to call it from the investor prior to its maturity.

The main cause of a call is a decline in interest rates. If interest rates decline, the issuer will likely call its current securities and reissue them at a lower rate of interest.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT (CD). A time deposit with a specific maturity evidenced by a certificate.

CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT REGISTRY SYSTEM (CDARS). A private placement service that allows local agencies to purchase more than $250,000 in CDs from a single financial institution (must be a participating institution of CDARS) while still maintaining FDIC insurance coverage.

CDARS is currently the only entity providing this service. CDARS facilitates the trading of deposits between the California institution and other participating institutions in amounts that are less than $250,000 each, so that FDIC coverage is maintained.

COLLATERALIZED TIME DEPOSIT. Time deposits that are collateralized at least 100% (principal plus interest to maturity). These instruments are collateralized using assets set aside by the issuer such as Treasury securities or other qualified collateral to secure the deposit in excess of the limit covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

COMMERCIAL PAPER. The short-term unsecured debt of corporations.

COUPON. The rate of return at which interest is paid on a bond.

CREDIT RISK. The risk that principal and/or interest on an investment will not be paid in a timely manner due to changes in the condition of the issuer.

Any security that has principal and/or interest payments which are subject to uncertainty (but not for reasons of default or credit risk) as to timing and/or amount, or any security which represents a component of another security which has been separated from other components (“Stripped” coupons and principal). A derivative is also defined as a financial instrument the value of which is totally or partially derived from the value of another instrument, interest rate, or index.

DISCOUNT. The difference between the par value of a bond and the cost of the bond, when the cost is below par. Some short-term securities, such as T-bills and banker’s acceptances, are known as discount securities.

Other securities, which have fixed coupons, trade at a discount when the coupon rate is lower than the current market rate for securities of that maturity and/or quality.

DIVERSIFICATION. Dividing investment funds among a variety of investments to avoid excessive exposure to any one source of risk.

DURATION. The weighted average time to maturity of a bond where the weights are the present values of the future cash flows. Duration measures the price sensitivity of a security to changes interest rates.

The FDIC was created in 1933 to maintain public confidence and encourage stability in the financial system through the promotion of sound banking practices.

FEDERALLY INSURED TIME DEPOSIT. A time deposit is an interest-bearing bank deposit account that has a specified date of maturity, such as a certificate of deposit (CD). These deposits are limited to funds insured in accordance with FDIC insurance deposit limits.

Notification to the City Council, the Investment Advisory Committee, the City Treasurer, and the Administrative Services Director will be given within two (2) business days when securities of this type are being added to the portfolio, this allows for full disclosure and understanding of the strategy given the market conditions.

Collateralization: Collateralization shall be required on two types of investments:

Market value must be calculated each time there is a substitution of collateral.

2. The City or its trustee shall have perfected first security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all securities subject to a repurchase agreement.

Investment Criteria: Criteria for selecting investments and the order of priority are:

A. Safety
The safety and risk associated with an investment refers to the potential loss of principal, interest or a combination of these amounts. The City only operates in those investments that are considered very safe.

B. Liquidity
This refers to the ability to convert an investment into cash at any moment in time with a minimal chance of losing some portion of principal or interest. Liquidity is an important investment quality when there is an occasional need for funds. The potential fluctuations in market value and the expected future availability of reasonable bids in the market are to be important considerations when selecting an investment.

C. Yield
Yield is the potential dollar earnings an investment can provide and sometimes is described as the rate of return.

Diversification: The City will diversify the use of investment instruments to avoid incurring unreasonable risks inherent in over-investing in specific instruments, or individual financial institutions. In no case, without prior notification and approval from the City Council, shall the amount invested in one entity at the time of purchase exceed 5% of the total portfolio, with the following exceptions:
 U.S. Federal Government Agency Obligations of one specific entity cannot exceed 25% of the maturity value of the portfolio at the time of purchase.  U.S. Treasury Obligations (Treasury Bills, Treasury Strips, Bonds, Notes) directly backed by the full faith and credit of the United States for payment of principal and interest shall not be subject to a maximum percentage of the portfolio. 6  Approved State and County investment pools together cannot exceed 60% of the maturity value of the portfolio at the time of purchase, and no more than 40% of the maturity value at the time of purchase can be deposited in any one particular pool.

Investment Pools: The City Treasurer, Administrative Services Director and City Council have determined that use of investment pools is a practical investment option. The City will utilize guidelines established by the California Municipal Treasurers Association and California Society of Municipal Finance Officers to ensure the safety of investment pools which includes a thorough investigation of the pool/fund prior to investing, and on a continual basis. There shall be a questionnaire developed which will answer the following general questions:
 A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of investment policy and objectives.
 A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed, and how gains and losses are treated.
 A description of how the securities are safeguarded (including the settlement processes), and how often the securities are priced and the program audited.  A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposit and withdrawal are allowed.
 A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings.  Are reserves, retained earnings, etc. utilized by the pool/fund?  A fee schedule, and when and how is it assessed.
 Is the pool/fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or will it accept such proceeds? Maturity Limitations: Every investment instrument purchased must have a term remaining to maturity of less than five years, unless the investment is for the Senior Low Cost Housing Subsidy Program, bond proceeds for the Reserve Fund, funded/capitalized interest fund; or the City Council has granted express authority to make that investment, either specifically or as part of an investment program approved by the City Council no more than three months prior to the investment. When possible, a minimum of 25% of the portfolio should be in maturities of one year or less.

Safekeeping and Custody: All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the City shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment (DVP) basis which ensure that securities are deposited in an eligible financial institution prior to the release of funds. Securities shall be held by a third-party custodian designated by the City and evidenced by safekeeping receipts with a written custodial agreement. The only exception to the foregoing shall be depository accounts and securities purchases made with: LAIF, direct time certificates of deposit and money market mutual funds, since the purchased securities are not deliverable. Settlement instructions sent to the safekeeping agent shall require authorization.

Monthly trust statements are reconciled to the Investment Reports by the City’s Accountant. The City’s Accountant performs reconciliation of the monthly bank statements. The periodic review of the investment portfolio, including investment types, purchase price, market values, maturity dates, and investment yields as well as conformance to the stated investment policy will be performed by the Investment Advisory 7 Committee.

Qualified Broker/Dealers: For those investments managed directly by the City, the City shall maintain a listing of broker/dealers that are approved by the Investment Advisory Committee for investment purposes. All broker/dealers who desire to bid for investment transactions must supply the City with the following information; a completed broker/dealer questionnaire, audited financial statements, proof of National Association of Security Dealers' certification, trading resolution, proof of California registration, and certification of having read the City of Brea’s investment policy.

The Investment Advisory Committee will conduct an annual review of the qualified broker/dealers. The decision to add or subtract from the authorized list of broker/dealers will be based on many factors to include, but not limited to, products offered, service levels, references, etc. No single factor will determine the Committee’s final decision. A current audited financial statement is required to be on file for each broker/dealer with which the City of Brea invests. The City's authorized brokers/dealers shall provide written confirmation of having read and understood the City’s investment policy and that all investments recommended by them will be suitable for the City of Brea.

Selection of broker/dealers used by an external investment adviser retained by the City will be at the sole discretion of the adviser. Where possible, transactions with broker/dealers shall be selected on a competitive basis and their bid or offering prices shall be recorded. If there is no other readily available competitive offering, best efforts will be made to document quotations for comparable or alternative securities. When purchasing original issue instrumentality securities, no competitive offerings will be required as all dealers in the selling group offer those securities at the same original issue price.

Monitoring and Adjusting the Portfolio: The City Treasurer and Administrative Services Director will routinely monitor the contents, performance and risk profile of the investment portfolio, the investment alternatives, and the relative values of competing investment instruments and will adjust the portfolio accordingly based on the approved Statement of Investment Policy on a quarterly basis. The City Council shall also bear a responsibility for monitoring the implementation of this policy and the safeguarding of the City’s Treasury.

Performance Standards: The investment portfolio shall be designed to attain a marketaverage rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City’s risk constraints, the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio, and state and local laws, ordinances or resolutions that restrict investments.

The Administrative Services Director shall monitor and evaluate the portfolio’s performance relative to market benchmark, which will be included in the monthly report of investments.

The Treasurer and Administrative Services Director shall select an appropriate, readily available index to use as a market benchmark.

Bond Funds/Arbitrage: The U.S. Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires the City to perform annual arbitrage calculations and rebate excess earnings from investments of proceeds of bond issues sold after the effective date of this law to the U.S. Treasury. This arbitrage 8 calculation may be contracted with an outside source to provide the necessary technical assistance to comply with this regulation. Funds subject to the 1986 Tax Reform Act will be kept segregated from other funds and records will be kept in a fashion to facilitate the calculations. The City's investment position relative to the new arbitrage restrictions is to continue pursuing the maximum yield on applicable investments while ensuring the safety of capital and liquidity. It is a fiscally sound position to continue maximization of yield and to rebate excess earnings, if necessary.

Review/or Modification: The Investment Advisory Committee shall be responsible for reviewing and recommending modifications to the Statement of Investment Policy and submitting it to the City Council for approval on an annual basis. However, the City Treasurer and Administrative Services Director may, at any time, further restrict the investments approved for purchase as deemed appropriate.

Internal Controls: The City Treasurer and Administrative Services Director shall organize the investment function so that specific responsibility for the performance of duties is assigned with a clear line of authority and reporting. The functions of authorizing, executing and recording transactions, custody of investments and performing reconciliation’s will be handled by separate persons to reduce the risk that anyone person is in a position to conceal errors or fraud in the normal course of duty. While no internal control system, however elaborate, can guarantee absolute assurance that the City's assets are safeguarded, it is the intent of the City's internal control system to provide reasonable assurance that management of the investment function meets the City's objectives. These internal controls shall be reviewed annually by the independent auditor who shall review and comment upon the content of this policy, the effectiveness of its implementation and applicable management controls with regard to its implementation and the safeguarding of the City’s Treasury funds.

Investment Advisory Committee: An Investment Advisory Committee (“Committee”) is established to review and make recommendations on the Investment Policy and investment strategy of the City of Brea/Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency and to strengthen the internal control of the management of the City's funds.

PRUDENT INVESTOR STANDARD: Is a standard defined under State Government Code Section 53600.3 that states when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the City, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the City/Successor Agency to the Brea Redevelopment Agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall 17 strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law.

PRUDENT PERSON (PRUDENT INVESTOR) RULE: A standard of responsibility which applies to fiduciaries. In California, the rule is stated as “Investments shall be managed with the care, skill, prudence and diligence, under the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person, acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters, would use in the conduct of an enterprise of like character and with like aims to accomplish similar purposes.”

REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REVERSE REPO): A reverse-repurchase agreement (reverse repo) involves an investor borrowing cash from a financial institution in exchange for securities. The investor agrees to repurchase the securities at a specified date for the same cash value plus an agreed upon interest rate. Although the transaction is similar to a repo, the purpose of entering into a reverse repo is quite different. While a repo is a straightforward investment of public funds, the reverse repo is a borrowing.

SAFEKEEPING: A service to bank customers whereby securities are held by the bank in the customer’s name.

SECONDARY MARKET: A market made for the purchase and sale of outstanding issues following the initial distribution.

SECURITIES AND SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC): The U.S.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an independent federal government agency responsible for protecting investors, maintaining fair and orderly functioning of securities markets and facilitating capital formation. It was created by Congress in 1934 as the first federal regulator of securities markets. The SEC promotes full public disclosure, protects investors against fraudulent and manipulative practices in the market, and monitors corporate takeover actions in the United States.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) RULE 15C315C3-1: An SEC rule setting capital requirements for brokers and dealers. Under Rule 15c3-1, a broker or dealer must have sufficient liquidity in order to cover the most pressing obligations. This is defined as having a certain amount of liquidity as a percentage of the broker/dealer's total obligations. If the percentage falls below a certain point, the broker or dealer may not be allowed to take on new clients and may have restrictions placed on dealings with current 18 client.

STRUCTURED NOTE: A complex, fixed income instrument, which pays interest, based on a formula tied to other interest rates, commodities or indices. Examples include inverse floating rate notes which have coupons that increase when other interest rates are falling, and which fall when other interest rates are rising, and "dual index floaters," which pay interest based on the relationship between two other interest rates - for example, the yield on the ten-year Treasury note minus the Libor rate. Issuers of such notes lock in a reduced cost of borrowing by purchasing interest rate swap agreements.

SUPRANATURAL: A Supranational is a multi-national organization whereby member states transcend national boundaries or interests to share in the decision making to promote economic development in the member countries.

TOTAL RATE OF RETURN: A measure of a portfolio’s performance over time. It is the internal rate of return, which equates the beginning value of the portfolio with the ending value; it includes interest earnings, realized and unrealized gains, and losses in the portfolio.

U.S. TREASURY OBLIGATIONS: Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States. Treasuries are considered to have no credit risk and are the benchmark for interest rates on all other securities in the US and overseas.

The Treasury issues both discounted securities and fixed coupon notes and bonds.

All securities issued with initial maturities of one year or less are issued as discounted instruments and are called Treasury bills. The Treasury currently issues three- and sixmonth T-bills at regular weekly auctions. It also issues “cash management” bills as needed to smooth out cash flows.

All securities issued with initial maturities of two to ten years are called Treasury notes and pay interest semi-annually.

TREASURY BONDS: All securities issued with initial maturities greater than ten years are called Treasury bonds. Like Treasury notes, they pay interest semi-annually.

UNIFORM NET CAPITAL RULE: Securities and Exchange Commission requirement that member firms as well as nonmember broker-dealers in securities maintain a maximum ratio of indebtedness to liquid capital of 15 to 1; also called net capital rule and net capital ratio. Indebtedness covers all money owed to a firm, including margin loans and commitments to purchase securities, one reason new public issues are spread among members of underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes cash and assets easily converted into cash.

YIELD TO MATURITY: The annualized internal rate of return on an investment which equates the expected cash flows from the investment to its cost.

Investment Policy Guidelines for the City of Brea's Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund Meeting

CONSENT CALENDAR Item: 5J
TO
Chair and Members of the Investment Advisory Committee
FROM
Bill Gallardo, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Review and approve the Investment Guidelines for the City's Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) Trust Fund through Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On May 5, 2020, the City Council approved the Investment Guidelines as presented for the City's OPEB Trust Program ("Plan") following the Investment Advisory Committee's (IAC) recommendation of a Moderate Investment Objective. The below chart summarizes the Strategic Asset Allocation for the Moderate Investment Objective:

Strategic Asset Allocation Ranges
Cash Fixed Income Equity
0-20% 40%-60% 40%-60%
Policy:  5% Policy:  45% Policy:  50%
The goal of the Plan's investment program, as identified in the Investment Guidelines, is to provide a reasonable level of growth which will result in sufficient assets to pay the present and future obligations of the Plan. The following objectives are intended to assist in achieving this goal:

The Plan should seek to earn a return in excess of its policy benchmark over the life of the Plan; and The Plan’s assets will be managed on a total return basis which takes into consideration both investment income and capital appreciation. While the Plan Sponsor recognizes the importance of preservation of capital, it also adheres to the principle that varying degrees of investment risk are generally rewarded with compensating returns. To achieve these objectives, the Plan Sponsor allocates its assets (asset allocation) with a strategic perspective of the capital markets.

The purpose of the guidelines are to:

Facilitate the process of ongoing communication between the Plan sponsor and its plan fiduciaries; Confirm the Plan’s investment goals and objectives and management policies applicable to the investment portfolio identified below and obtained from the Plan sponsor; Provide a framework to construct a well-diversified asset mix that can potentially be expected to meet the account’s investment needs that is consistent with the account’s investment objectives, liquidity considerations and risk tolerance;
Identify any unique considerations that may restrict or limit the investment discretion of its designated investment managers; and
Help maintain a long-term perspective when market volatility is caused by short-term market movements.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the initial contribution to this Plan was suspended. However, on May 13, 2024, the City deposited its first contribution of $250,000 and then on June 24, 2024 an additional $175,000 was deposited into the OPEB trust account. At the April 22, 2024 IAC meeting, it was discussed that the previous IAC recommendation on April 27, 2020 that contributions be dollar cost averaged over a 12-month period is not applicable at this time because the balance in OPEB trust is fairly low and adding further deposits over time will naturally create a dollar cost averaging effect.

There are no new changes to this year's Investment Policy Guidelines.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Investment Advisory Committee reviewed this item at the July 22, 2024 IAC meeting and recommended for City Council Approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
There is no fiscal impact for approving the Investment Policy Guidelines.

Investment Guidelines
Investment Objective & Strategic Asset Allocation
The goal of the Account’s investment program is to provide a reasonable level of growth, which will result in sufficient assets to pay the present and future obligations of the Account. The following objectives are intended to assist in achieving this goal:
 The Account should seek to earn a return in excess of its policy benchmark over the life of the Account;
 The Account should be invested in a strategic blend of actively managed and index-based investment strategies.
 The Account’s assets will be managed on a total return basis which takes into consideration both investment income and capital appreciation. While the Client recognizes the importance of preservation of capital, it also adheres to the principle that varying degrees of investment risk are generally rewarded with compensating returns. To achieve these objectives, the Client allocates its assets (asset allocation) with a strategic perspective of the capital markets. 3 Objective Primary Goal Strategic Asset Allocation
Moderate Provide current income and moderate
capital appreciation.

Equity: 40-60%
Fixed Income: 40-60%
Cash: 0-20%
Market conditions may cause the account’s asset allocation to vary from the stated range from time to time. Investment Manager will periodically rebalance the portfolio when the actual weighting differs substantially from the strategic range, if appropriate and consistent with Account objectives.

Time Horizon
The Account’s investment objectives are based on an intermediate-term investment horizon (“Time Horizon”) of five years or longer. Interim fluctuations should be viewed with appropriate perspective.

Liquidity and Diversification
In general, the Account may hold some cash, cash equivalent, and/or money market funds for nearterm liquidity needs and expenses. Remaining assets will be invested in longer-term investments and shall be diversified with the intent to minimize the risk of long-term investment losses. Consequently, the total portfolio will be constructed and maintained to provide diversification with regard to the concentration of holdings in individual issues, issuers, countries, governments or industries.

Risk Tolerance
Subject to investment objectives and performance expectations, the Account will be managed in a style that seeks to minimize principal fluctuations over the established Time Horizon and is commensurate with the investment objectives identified above. While the Client recognizes the importance of preservation of capital, it also adheres to the principle that varying degrees of investment risk are generally rewarded with compensating returns. The Client seeks a level of risk that is prudent and reasonable to maximize the probability of achieving its overall objective consistent with capital market conditions. To achieve these objectives, the Client allocates its assets (asset allocation) with a strategic perspective of the capital markets.

Security Guidelines
With the exception of any limitations and constraints described in this IPS, Investment Manager may allocate assets of the equity portion of the Account among various market capitalizations (large, mid, small, micro), investment styles (value, blend, growth), and countries (domestic, international developed, and emerging markets). In the fixed income portion of the Account, Investment Manager may allocate assets among various sectors and industries, as well as varying maturities and credit quality that are consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the portfolio.

Performance Measurement
Over the long-term, five years or longer, the annual rate of return for the Account is expected to be consistent with the type of investment strategy employed and commensurate with the then prevailing investment environment. Measurement of this return expectation will be judged by reviewing returns in the context of industry standard benchmarks for each asset class/investment style as well as a blended benchmark comparisons for the Account in its entirety. Representative industry standard 4 benchmarks are reflected in Appendix A and are subject to change upon the discretion of Investment Manager based on benchmark accessibility and sourcing.

Prohibited Investments and Restrictions

Honorable Mayor and City Council Members

Bill Gallardo, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Review and approve the Investment Policy Guidelines for the City of Brea’s Employee Benefits Fund Pension Plan through Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On November 17, 2015, the City Council approved participation within the Public Agencies Post-Employment Benefit Trust Program that established the City of Brea's Employee Benefits Fund Pension Plan ("Plan"). The Plan is administered by Public Agencies Retirement Services (PARS) to assist the City in "pre-funding" its pension obligations in an irrevocable Section 115 Trust account. Some of the benefits of participating in the program are summarized below:

City maintains oversight of investment management and control over the risk tolerance level of the portfolio; Assets held in the PARS Section 115 Trust account allow for greater investment flexibility and risk diversification compared to the City's General Fund investments; Assets could be accessed to offset unexpected CalPERS rate increases (rate stabilization); Potential to improve an agency's bond rating; and
Flexibility to access assets at any time as long as it is used to pay employer's pension obligations.

The investment strategies for these assets are defined within the City's Investment Policy Guidelines that were developed and evaluated by PARS, PFM Asset Management - PFM (the Plan’s Investment Advisory Firm) and the City's Investment Advisory Committee (IAC). The purpose of the Investment Policy Guidelines is to facilitate communication and confirm the City's investment objectives for the Plan. It also helps maintain a long-term perspective when market volatility is caused by short-term market movements. The policy also details the Plan's Trustee, the Investment Manager and the Investment Advisory Committee's roles and responsibilities.

The Investment Advisory Committee, including PARS and PFM, annually reviews the Investment Policy Guidelines and provides recommendations (if any) on any changes for the upcoming annual review period. The current investment objective is a "Balanced Objective" which has a dual goal to seek growth of income and principal. As part of the annual review, there are no new changes recommended in this year's Investment Policy Guidelines (Attachment A).

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Investment Advisory Committee reviewed this item at the July 22, 2024 IAC meeting and recommended for City Council Approval.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY
There is no fiscal impact for approving the Investment Policy Guidelines (Attachment A).

Investment Guidelines
Investment Objective & Strategic Asset Allocation
The goal of the Account’s investment program is to provide a reasonable level of growth, which will result in sufficient assets to pay the present and future obligations of the Account. The following objectives are intended to assist in achieving this goal:
 The Account should seek to earn a return in excess of its policy benchmark over the life of the Account;
 The Account should be invested in a strategic blend of actively managed and index-based investment strategies.
 The Account’s assets will be managed on a total return basis which takes into consideration both investment income and capital appreciation. While the Client recognizes the importance of preservation of capital, it also adheres to the principle that varying degrees of investment risk are generally rewarded with compensating returns. To achieve these objectives, the Client allocates its assets (asset allocation) with a strategic perspective of the capital markets.

Objective Primary Goal Strategic Asset Allocation
Balanced Provide growth of principal and income. Equity: 50-70% Fixed Income: 30-50%
Cash: 0-20%
Fixed Income
The fixed income portion of the account will use individual bonds for the core bond portfolio. Investment Manager may allocate assets among various sectors and industries, as well as varying maturities and credit quality that are consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the portfolio.

Total Fixed Income 30%-50%
Fixed Income Objective
 To maximize investment income and capital appreciation consistent with client’s risk tolerance
 To maintain liquidity
 To outperform the benchmark over a full market cycle
Benchmark
The fixed income benchmark is the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index Eligible Investments
 Debt obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies, and Government Sponsored Enterprises
 Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)
 Asset Backed Securities (ABS)
 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO)
 Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (CMBS)
 Corporate debt securities issued by U.S. or foreign entities including, but not limited to, limited partnerships, equipment trust certificates and enhanced equipment trust certificates
 Municipal Bonds
 Taxable money market funds
 Eligible instruments issued pursuant to SEC Rule 144a (only if the Client is a documented Qualified Institutional Buyer ; QIB)
Ineligible Investments
 Derivatives
 Non-dollar Securities
 Leveraged transactions
 Short selling
4 Quality
 The portfolio will maintain a minimum weighted average effective credit quality of A- at all times. Individual securities shall have a minimum effective credit quality rating of BBB-.  For purposes of determining an effective rating, when three agencies rate a security (S&P, Moody’s, Fitch) the middle rating will be used. When only two of the three agencies rate a security the lower of the two ratings will be used. When only one agency rates a security that rating will be used.

Duration
The manager will maintain the portfolio duration within +/- 25% of the benchmark duration at all times.

Diversification
 Any individual issuer position size is to be less than 5% of the portfolio assets at time of purchase, with the exception of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.

Government, its agencies, and Government Sponsored Enterprises.  Investments in any one industry group shall be limited to no more than 30% of the account's assets. Industry group shall be defined by Bloomberg [BB] Sector Class 3 industry classification.
 High Yield will be managed with funds and/or ETF’s at less than 5% of the total portfolio.

Market conditions may cause the account’s asset allocation to vary from the stated range from time to time. Investment Manager will periodically rebalance the portfolio when the actual weighting differs substantially from the strategic range, if appropriate and consistent with Account objectives.

Time Horizon
The Account’s investment objectives are based on an intermediate-term investment horizon (“Time Horizon”) of five years or longer. Interim fluctuations should be viewed with appropriate perspective.

Liquidity and Diversification
In general, the Account may hold some cash, cash equivalent, and/or money market funds for nearterm liquidity needs and expenses. Remaining assets will be invested in longer-term investments and shall be diversified with the intent to minimize the risk of long-term investment losses. Consequently, the total portfolio will be constructed and maintained to provide diversification with regard to the concentration of holdings in individual issues, issuers, countries, governments or industries.

Risk Tolerance
Subject to investment objectives and performance expectations, the Account will be managed in a style that seeks to minimize principal fluctuations over the established Time Horizon and is commensurate with the investment objectives identified above. While the Client recognizes the importance of preservation of capital, it also adheres to the principle that varying degrees of investment risk are generally rewarded with compensating returns. The Client seeks a level of risk that is prudent and 5 reasonable to maximize the probability of achieving its overall objective consistent with capital market conditions. To achieve these objectives, the Client allocates its assets (asset allocation) with a strategic perspective of the capital markets.

Security Guidelines
With the exception of any limitations and constraints described in this IPS, Investment Manager may allocate assets of the equity portion of the Account among various market capitalizations (large, mid, small, micro), investment styles (value, blend, growth), and countries (domestic, international developed, and emerging markets). In the fixed income portion of the Account, Investment Manager may allocate assets among various sectors and industries, as well as varying maturities and credit quality that are consistent with the overall goals and objectives of the portfolio.

Performance Measurement
Over the long-term, five years or longer, the annual rate of return for the Account is expected to be consistent with the type of investment strategy employed and commensurate with the then prevailing investment environment. Measurement of this return expectation will be judged by reviewing returns in the context of industry standard benchmarks for each asset class/investment style as well as a blended benchmark comparisons for the Account in its entirety. Representative industry standard benchmarks are reflected in Appendix A and are subject to change upon the discretion of Investment Manager based on benchmark accessibility and sourcing.

Prohibited Investments and Restrictions

letter stock and other unregistered securities, direct commodities or commodity contracts, or private placements (with the exception of Rule 144A securities, if eligible). Further, derivatives, options, or futures for the sole purpose of direct portfolio leveraging are prohibited. Direct ownership of real estate, natural resource properties such as oil, gas or timber and the purchase of collectibles is also prohibited.

Control Procedures
Client Governance
Client is responsible for:
 Confirming the accuracy of this Investment Guidelines Document, in writing.  Advising Trustee and Investment Manager of any change in the Account’s financial situation, funding status, or cash flows, which could possibly necessitate a change to the account’s overall risk tolerance, time horizon or liquidity requirements; and thus would dictate a change to the overall investment objective and goals for the account.  Monitoring and supervising all service vendors and investment options, including Investment Managers, including the periodic review of account statements.  Avoiding prohibited transactions and conflicts of interest.

One Year Agreement with HdL Companies for Business License Administration and Avenu Insight & Analytics for Sales and Property Tax Analysis

Bill Gallardo, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Approve a one (1) year agreement with HdL Companies for Business License Administration and a one (1) year agreement with Avenu Insights & Analytics for Sales and Use Tax (SUTA) and property tax audit, analysis, reports and information services.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
Business License Tax
The City of Brea charges a business license tax that is required for all businesses operating within the City limits, including temporary activities and contractors with primary offices outside the City. The business license tax generates approximately $1.1 million in annual revenue for the City's General Fund. A majority of the revenue is collected as part of the annual renewal process and occurs during the months of November through February.

On October 15, 2019, the City of Brea entered into an agreement with HdL Companies (HdL) for Business License Administration and Discovery Services after a competitive Request for Proposal process.  In 2019, there were only two responses:  one from HdL and the other from Avenu Insight & Analytics.  These are the two main providers of these services in California.  Prior to this agreement, in-house staff administered and processed business license tax records. When this contract was approved there were advantages to outsourcing this function which included eliminating the need to purchase specialized software application to administer the program, a better distribution of staff duties as the majority of the collection is only 3-4 months of the year, a reduction of long-term employee costs and the new features of on-line services.

The initial agreement included a three (3) year contract with two (2) one-year renewal options. The City has exhausted these terms and staff proposes to contract for another year to explore various options before making another long-term commitment.

The Community Development Department is currently exploring the option of a "one-stop" shop for various City services, with another option being to update the language in the municipal code that pertains to Business License Tax before making additional changes to the organization. The code has not been updated since 1976 and the language is outdated. One significant recommendation is to remove the word "License" from "Business License Tax" in order to emphasize that the issuance of a certificate is for tax purposes and not a regulatory function.

Despite the specific language in the code that states that business tax is non-regulatory, both business owners and City staff tend to use the business license issuance as a condition to operate. In addition, there may be other benefits for general language clarification, clean-up, and modernization of the code. For equity reasons, there has been interest in the past, to eliminate the business license tax cap for certain businesses and update the outdated rates. Because of the cap, larger corporations are paying the maximum business tax of $500, which can be the same as the smaller owner-operated businesses. Any rate change would require a 4/5 approval by City Council to place the measure on the ballot and simple majority from the Brea voters.

With the proposed one year extension, HdL will continue to charge $15.25 per account with a Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustment on January 1, 2025. The CPI adjustment will be between 2%-5% and the anticipated amount to be paid for business license processing is approximately $125,000.   The Agreement also includes contingencies for Business License Collection for past due amounts (25% of Revenues Collected), Business License Discovery (35% of Revenues Collected), and Business License Tax Audit (35% of Revenues Collected).  Staff has been working with HdL to update correspondence letters for discovery and audit services.  Moving forward, these letters will require City approval prior to distribution.  There is a temporary pause for these services until the updated letters are finalized.  The costs associated with these contingency services can vary greatly from year to year, but have averaged $26,350 for the past two years.  Staff is requesting that the City Manager be allowed to execute an extension to the current agreement.

Sales and Property Taxes
Sales tax is the City's largest General Fund source and is currently projected at $26.5 million for FY 2024-25, which represents approximately 35 percent of the General Fund's budgeted revenues.  The local share (known as BradleyBurns) is one percent and is remitted to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) by retailers and to the jurisdiction where the sale is negotiated, or the order is taken.

Municipal agencies, including the City of Brea, often contract with specialized firms that maintain large and complete sales tax databases and work directly with the CDTFA, to manage their sales tax activities. Such firms regularly audit to identify and recover sales and use tax allocation errors, and in return, retain a percentage of the discovered revenue as their commission ("contingency fee"). These firms also provide quarterly sales tax analysis, trend analysis and revenue forecasts for specific agencies.

Property taxes is the City's second largest General Fund revenue source and is currently projected at $15.4 million for FY 2024-25.  The County Assessor provides the official listing of the taxable value, location and ownership of all locally assessed property.  Property tax auditing services are designed to assist municipal agencies to identify misallocated property tax revenue.

The City has contracted with Avenu Insights & Analytics (also known as MuniServices) for many years, and on September 1, 2019, the City of Brea entered into an agreement with Avenu Insights & Analytics (Avenu), for Sales and Use Tax (SUTA) and property tax audit, analysis, reports and information services after a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process.  Like the RFP for Business License Administration, there were only two responses:  one from Avenu Insights & Analytics and the other from HdL.  These companies are the two main providers of these services in California.

The initial agreement included a three (3) year contract with two (2) one-year contract renewal options.

Avenu is proposing to charge 15% for sales/use tax revenue received for any taxpayer corrections as discovered by them. For Sales Tax Analysis and Reporting the annual cost will adjust from $3,597 to $3,750, and for annual Property Tax Analysis and Reporting the costs will adjust from $7,000 to $7,500 per year.   In addition, Avenu will provide miscellaneous financial reports in the annual amount of $2,240.  Over the past five years, Avenu's contingency services averaged $57,200 annually. Staff is requesting that the City Manager be allowed to execute an extension to the current agreement.

COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee reviewed this item at their August 13, 20224 meeting and recommended for City Council Approval.

SUMMARY/FISCAL IMPACT
The fixed portion of costs for these services is included in the FY 2023-25 budget.  However, due to their fluctuations, contingency payments are not budgeted.  When applicable, staff will bring the necessary revenue and expenditure adjustments to the City Council for approval.

This extra step allows staff to find additional revenues not otherwise identifiable through electronic means and assists in reducing potential complaints levied at City staff and management from pursuit of false positives.

All submissions are filed and stored electronically and made available to the City via standard reporting processes or upon request.

Per City of Brea Statement of Work and Cost Proposal
EXHIBIT A – SCOPE OF WORK

1. SALES, USE AND TRANSACTION TAX AUDIT AND RECOVERY SERVICES CONSULTANT’s Sales/Use Tax Sales Use and Transaction Tax Audit and Recovery Services is designed to assist CITY in enhancing its sales/use tax revenues by detecting, documenting, and correcting sales/use tax errors thereby producing previously unrealized revenue for CITY. Some of the more common types of errors detected and corrected are as follows:

1. Sales misreported as "use tax" transactions that are distributed to the countywide pools rather than to "point of sale" for the City.

2. "Point of sale" transactions mis-reported to administrative offices or other locations outside the City rather than to the location within the City where principal negotiations or orders are initiated.

3. E-commerce orders allocated to billing or switching equipment sites rather than the location of human intervention.

4. Misallocations occurring because sales from multiple retail outlets, order desks, or offices are credited to a single location outside the incorporated area rather than to sub outlets located within the City boundaries.

5. Individual "use tax" transactions exceeding $500,000 that are reported to the countywide pools rather than "point-of-use;"

6. Erroneous reporting of sales associated with construction materials and fixtures to countywide pools due to misclassified as an installed sale rather than "over-thecounter" sale.

7. Failure to designate in-state warehouses as "point of sale" for orders placed or negotiated outside of California.

8. Misallocations that occur due to zip code, boundary or other jurisdictional inconsistencies or because of failure of new addresses to be picked up in the CDTFA registration rolls; and

9. Misallocations by companies that self-impose "use tax" for materials taken out of inventory and misreport the usage as taking place at locations other than the City.

Objectives and Methodology
CONSULTANT captures the obvious sales tax errors and the more complicated ones that involve different interpretations of tax liability.

Taxable Nexus Field Audit.

We target City-based businesses that may not be properly reporting local sales and use tax to the City. We do this via physical canvassing of the City’s borders in addition to the commercial and industrial areas. We evaluate taxes paid by businesses for their products, will-call operations and other sales-related activities. Without this labor-intensive undertaking, misallocations may remain undetected even when electronic data mining is applied.

Tax Area Code (TAC)/Permit Audits.

We identify and correct improperly registered permits of companies with point-of-sale or use operations. We also look for businesses with an incorrect tax area code due to jurisdictional/boundary confusion. Wholesalers, contractors, manufacturers and other non-retail businesses frequently do not hold a permit registered to the City because their operations do not include a point-of-sale qualifying activity. However, these companies often generate tax from the CDTFA audit deficiency assessments, new or changed operations, or the self-accrual of use tax on purchases through direct payment permits.

Deficiency Assessment Audit.

With a CDTFA audit, taxpayers often receive a substantial deficiency assessment due to underpayments and/or under collections. Our proprietary criteria and techniques detect and correct what are often misallocations to the state or County pool. Accordingly, we have developed proprietary criteria and techniques to detect and correct CDTFA deficiency assessment misallocations and thus expand the benefits produced by our allocation audit service.

Quarterly Distribution Report (QDR) Audit. We conduct QDR audits when we see a substantial change in historical allocation because of declining or missing payments, negative fund transfers, and audit adjustments in the sales and use tax allocation. QDR audits have the same objective as the other audits: to detect, document and assist in correcting errors and thereby generate new, previously unrealized Sales, Transaction and Use Tax revenue for the City. To make sure the City gets the maximum amount of misallocated revenue, we include the current economic period based on the calendar quarter and the three prior tax return periods.

MuniServices LLC reviews 100% of taxpayers reporting local tax to the City each quarter in addition to a comprehensive review of the Citywide pool to ensure all possible allocation errors and aberrations are identified and submitted for correction.

Accounts Payable Audit Reviews.

In order to identify opportunities for the City to recover the local allocation on purchase transactions subject to tax, and facilitate the recovery of such funds, MuniServices LLC may perform an accounts payable audit that identifies the opportunity to facilitate the issuance of a direct payment permit (use tax) to the City.. They also provide the foundation necessary for the City to get a direct payment permit (use tax) and recover funds. Cities also receive our technical assistance in preparing and filing the required tax returns as needed, which is essential because the CDTFA has specific procedures and timing for filing claims.

Sales, Use and Transaction Tax Audit Process:

In providing the Sales, Use and Transaction Tax Audit and Recovery Services, CONSULTANT shall:
• Data Acquisition – Data from multiple sources is acquired and loaded into CONSULTANT/MuniServices’ data warehouse for analysis and mining. • Data Review and Analysis – CONSULTANT/MuniServices thoroughly reviews payment and registration data for possible registration and/or local tax reporting errors.
• Taxpayer Investigation – CONSULTANT/MuniServices verifies taxpayer information including address verification and business activity. If a misallocation is confirmed, CONSULTANT/MuniServices will gather applicable documentation which includes email communication with taxpayer and copies of tax returns, questionnaires, contracts, and invoices.
• Petition Preparation and Submission – CONSULTANT/MuniServices carefully documents verified misallocation errors into petitions and prepares for submission to CDTFA.
• Correction Case Review and Follow-Up – New incoming CDTFA decision letters are reviewed for confirmation of correction of the misallocated sales or use tax.

Additionally, case backlog is reviewed to determine those requiring follow-ups with taxpayers and/or CDTFA.
• CITY Audit Reports – CONSULTANT/MuniServices provides a Quarterly Audit Update Report, a report containing details on all now petitions filled with the CDTFA on their behalf. Additionally, CONSULTANT/MuniServices also provides an Open Account Status Report, which is a report containing all cases that remain uncorrected which reflect status and estimated revenue.

Use Tax Audit & Recovery Opportunities
Our Use Tax Audit Services are designed to not only capture use tax revenue through the review of past purchase activity by the businesses in the City, but also to assist in establishing new processes and procedures designed to prevent the pooling of these revenues and increase the direct allocation to the City. The use tax audits identify taxpayers purchasing tangible personal property directly from out-of-state retailers where the transactions are subject to use tax (rather than sales tax). The use tax is often collected by the vendor who in turn remits it to the CDTFA, with the local allocation typically distributed statewide or Citywide through the pools. These audits include proprietary techniques used to identify purchases made by businesses located in the City from out-of-state vendors that are in excess of $500,000. Additional use tax audits can focus on the practice of “Use Tax Accrual” in certain conditions where the purchaser may elect to self-accrue the use tax and remit it directly to the CDTFA, in which case the local portion will come back to the City in the same manner as sales tax. This can involve both purchases made by the City itself or working directly with businesses and construction contractors to establish the practice of self-accrual and direct remittance of the use tax to the CDTFA.

Business Cooperation Program (BCP)
MuniServices LLC pioneered the BCP program, which can generate significant revenues. Our BCP consulting services encourage construction contractors and major vendors to obtain a direct pay permit or job site registration to encourage them to report the applicable local use tax so that the local use payments can be directly allocated to the City instead of the Citywide pool. There are many complexities associated with determining which contractors are eligible to register a job site, in addition to reviewing purchasing contracts for major fixtures, machinery and equipment from overseas manufacturers in order to provide proper instructions to the purchasers.

We are actively working with multiple CITYs on major construction projects to maximize the use tax revenue associated with their purchases of materials, fixtures and machinery and equipment involving sports arenas to include the Sacramento Golden One Arena, hotels, airport expansions (Sacramento International Airport), energy/solar projects in addition to other major commercial and industrial projects (major online distribution warehouses). We are the only firm with experience and verifiable results working with local jurisdictions to maximize use tax revenues on major construction projects such as large commercial and industrial projects, sports arenas, airports, ports, solar arrays –tracking and managing these use tax issues from preconstruction through project completion.

Bill Gallardo, City Manager

RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions:

1. Authorize the submission of a Safe Streets and Roads for All grant application to the Department of Transportation;

2. Authorize City Manager, or his designee, to execute all documents and agreements necessary to participate in the Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program; and

3. If awarded, amend the City’s General Fund (110) budget in Fiscal Year 2024-25 by the amount awarded in the next quarterly budget adjustments and authorize the utilization of the City’s Gas Tax Fund (220) and grantrelated staff costs to meet the match requirement.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On February 21, 2024, the Department of Transportation released a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for funding for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (“SS4A”) program. Established under Section 24112 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, the SS4A program aims to enhance roadway safety by significantly reducing or eliminating roadway fatalities and serious injuries by encouraging cities to develop a comprehensive safety action plan (“action plan”).

Under the SS4A, two sequential grant opportunities exist: (1) the Planning and Demonstration Grant and the (2) Implementation Grant. At this time, City staff seeks City Council authorization to apply for the Planning and Demonstration Grant, to strengthen the City’s approach to roadway safety via developing an action plan.

Given ongoing and planned developments in the City—such as new housing projects and retail expansions—there is a benefit in assessing and enhancing safety strategies across Brea’s roadways. Staff have identified the SS4A program as a valuable opportunity to secure funding for an action plan that helps to identify improvements for Brea’s roads. Developing this action plan will also position the City to qualify for the SS4A Implementation Grant, which would allow the City to seek funding in the future for the construction of roadway improvements identified in the action plan. Furthermore, having an action plan will also allow the City to be eligible to seek other future funding opportunities, such as the Local Highway Safety Improvement Plan.

While creating an action plan does not provide funding for the actual construction of projects or improvements, the action plan is best informed via conducting specific demonstration activities, such as public outreach, feasibility studies, and/or street safety audits. The data collected by performing specific demonstration activities will influence and inform the action plan.

City staff is requesting to apply for up to $800,000 in funding from the SS4A grant program to create the action plan, which also includes the necessary funding to support data-driven demonstration activities and outreach focused on speed reduction, school road safety, and initiatives identified in the Council-approved 2020 Active Transportation Plan.
