COUNCIL ADOPTED VALUES

A periodic review of the Town’s investment performance aligns with the City Council adopted responsibility value. It exemplifies financial accountabilities and ensures the safekeeping of public funds.

BACKGROUND
Periodically, the City Council reviews and approves the Town’s investment policy for compliance with State statute (California Government Code Section §53600, et seq.) and sets investment guidelines for the safekeeping of public funds. For day-to-day operations, the City Council designated the City Manager, or his designee, to maintain cash balances to meet daily operational needs and to keep the Town’s purchasing power through safe and secure investments. Most of the Town investments are placed in the State and the San Mateo County investment pools, which invest funds for more than one public agency. Both pools comply with the State statute and allocate most of their funds in agency and treasury bonds.

Staff Report re FY2024-25 Annual Investment Report Page 2 of 6 The City Manager, or his designee, is required to review the Town’s investment policy annually and to provide semi-annual investment updates. The Investment Policy has been reviewed and the only update is to amend the Colma Administrative Code section 4.02.070, “Summary of Investment Parameters and Additional Limits,” to change the LAIF program limits max deposit to $75 Million from $65 million. The limit increase was put into effect by the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) on January 1, 2020.

This report summarizes the investment activities for the first half of the Fiscal Year 2024-25. It includes the beginning and ending balances by quarter; net Deposits and Withdrawals by quarter; total interest earned by quarter; the effective annual interest rates earned by quarter; and the cumulative weighted average. This report provides the required information, including additional narrative explanations.

The City Council approved the purchase of
brokered CDs and implemented a 5-year rolling
CD, or step ladder, strategy. This strategy
allows the Town to stabilize its investment
earnings.

ANALYSIS

balance of $55.04 million in various cash and
investment accounts. Unrestricted cash and
investment has an aggregate balance of $41.69

The unrestricted funds of $41.69 million include $17.57 million in Cash-in-Bank, $19.20 million in the State (LAIF) and county (SMCIF) pools, and $4.91 million in brokered CDs.

The investment strategy for both pools invest 50% or more in agency and treasury bonds and the rest in high-quality low-risk investments. The brokered CDs are limited to $250,000 per issuer and are fully insured by FDIC or NCUSIF.

FY 2024-25 Investment Summary by Quarter

FY 2024-25 Portfolio Earnings by Quarter

Earnings / Distribution of Portfolio
The Town’s investment portfolio performed as expected, with a weighted average of 2.162% in 2025Q1 and 2.122% in 2025Q2. The reduction in weighted average is typical of the bond market during economic uncertainties. When the market behaves unpredictably, debt/bond investments become more attractive, allowing companies to refinance the debt/bond at a lower interest rate. The full list of brokered CDs is available in Attachment A.

NOTEs on Brokered CD:

[1] Withdrawals represent
the amount of interest/
dividend transferred back
to the Town’s general
bank account. This is a
monthly transfer, and the
sole purpose is to keep
the brokered CD
purchase value at $5.0
million or less.
[2] Net Change in Portfolio
represents the difference
in closing market value of
the investment and the
beginning value.

Reasons For the Recommended Action/Findings
The receipt of this report complies with the adopted Town Investment Policy.

As of December 31, 2024, the Town of Colma has $17 Million in cash-in-bank with an annual yield rate of .05%. US Treasury Bonds are the safest investment and are at a 20-year high. It will lock in rates for 5 years. Money market accounts such as LAIF are subject to daily fluctuations in interest rates.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact in accepting this investment report and approving the update to administrative code 4.02.70. The additional $5 Million invested in US Treasury Bonds has estimated earnings of 4.034%. This would increase anticipated interest earnings of approximately $200,000 for the year, without impacting the City’s ability to meet budgeted expenditures. Decreasing cash in the bank to $12,000,000 and having $19,000,000 in the State Balance(sl

Staff Report re FY2024-25 Annual Investment Report Page 6 of 6 and County money pool leaves the City with $31,000,000 in available cash which is more than it annual budget.

ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could choose not to accept the annual investment report. Doing so is not recommended, because the Town will not be compliant with the Investment Policy. Also, we will not be able to take advantage of the highest interest rates in 20 years for US Treasury Bonds.

CONCLUSION
Staff recommend the City Council accept the report and adopt the resolution to update the administrative code section 4.02.070 and approve additional $5 Million to invest in US Treasury Bonds.

Through December 31, 2024, the Town received
$429,791 in unrestricted investment earnings with
$119,124 in unrealized gain. The unrealized gain
represents the today's market value of the Town's
brokered CDs. The unrealized gain/loss is important
to note if the Town were to liquidate its CDs today.

Since the Town intends to hold the Brokered CDs
until maturity, the unrealized gain/loss is considered
as accounting entries and are not true gains or losses.

Additionally, the principal of $4.96 million is fully

Five-Year Comparison
Cash in Bank

115 Trust & Debt
The Town maintains a minimum of $5.00 million in the Cash in Bank account to ensure adequate working capital to meet operating and capital needs . As shown in the 5-Year
Comparison, the green bar stayed close to $10.00 million in 2021 through 2023 and had $15.8 million in June 2024 . The Town's cash balance increased as a result of inflation and higher sales tax revenues. With an ending cash balance of $17.57 million by December, 2024.

As of December 31, 2024, the Town has $17.57 million and will evaluate whether to transfer excess funds to SMIF.

Determining factors include capital improvement needs and economic factors impacting the Town's sales tax revenues in FY 2024-25.

The Town participates in the Local Agency Investment
Fund (LAIF) and San Mateo County Investment Pool Fund
(SMIF) and invests majority of its excess unrestricted
funds in both agency investments pools.

Both pools are actively managed by State and County
Treasurer's, respectively, and follow the California
Government Code Section 53646. The table below shows
the average portfolio life and average yield for both pools.

In general, the longer the portfolio life, the higher the yield. The portfolio life also indicates how often the
securities within a portfolio are changed.

As of December 31, 2024, the Town had $2.31 million in
LAIF and $16.90 million in SMIF.Beginning in December 2019, the Town purchased $4.96 million worth of bank/brokered CDs, which are
100% FDIA/NCUSIF insured securities. The maturity
date of the CDs ranges from 1 to 5 years with each
newly matured CDs are replaced with CDs with 5-
year maturity. The purpose of this strategy is to
stabilize the Town's annual investment yield.

As of June 30, 2024, the Town's CDs have a market
value of $4.79 million. In December 31, 2024 the
market value is $4.88 million. Market value includes
unrealized gains/losses.

As illustrated in the five-year comparison chart, the
Town's total cash and investment has grown from
$38.19 million to $55.01 million. The growth can be
attributed to budget surplus and continuous effects
in improving its financial management. The different
colors in the chart also indicate how the Town's
investment portfolio has become more diversified.

CHAPTER FOUR: ORGANIZATION, FUNCTIONS AND GENERAL PROVISIONS SUBCHAPTER 4.02: Investment Policy
Division 1: General Principles

4.02.010 Policy Statement and Purpose
It is the policy of the Town of Colma to invest public funds in a manner which will provide safety, liquidity and yield through a diversified investment portfolio suitable for management by the Town Staff. At all times the policy shall adhere to daily cash flow requirements and conforming to all State statutes (California Government Code (California Government Code) §53600, et seq.) governing the investment of public funds.
[History: Formerly § 1.03.010; Adopted Res 2000-75, 12/13/2000; Res 2014-07, 2/13/14; Res 2016-50, 11/9/16; Res 2018-45, 10/24/18]

4.02.020 Scope
This Investment Policy applies to all invested financial assets of the Town of Colma, unless specifically exempted or covered by other investment criteria, such as in a bond or trust covenant or indenture. These funds are accounted for in the Town Annual Audited Financial Statements, and include the General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, Capital Project Funds, and Internal Service Funds.

Except for cash held in separate restricted funds, the Town will pool cash balances from all funds for investment in order to more effectively manage cash resources held by the Town. Investment income will be allocated to the Town’s Funds based upon their respective cash balances and in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). [History: Formerly § 1.03.020; Adopted Res 2000-75, 12/13/2000; Res 2014-07, 2/13/14; Res 2016-50, 11/9/16; Res 2018-45, 10/24/18]

4.02.030 Objectives/Performance Standards
The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. The primary objectives, in order of priority, of the Town’s investment activities shall be:

A)
Safety: Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. The Town's investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to safeguard the principal of the funds under its control by maintaining an appropriate risk level.

B) Liquidity: The Town's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the Town to meet its reasonably anticipated cash flow requirements.

C) Yield: Yield should become a consideration only after the basic requirements of safety and liquidity have been met. The Town seeks to attain market average rate of return on its investments throughout economic cycles, consistent with constraints

imposed by its safety objectives and cash flow considerations.

D) Diversification: The investment portfolio will be diversified to avoid incurring unreasonable and avoidable risks regarding specific security types or individual financial institutions. This shall also conform with applicable sections of the Government Code.

To attain this objective, the Town will initially diversify its investments by investing funds with suitable public agency pools which can provide a variety of securities and financial institutions meeting this requirement for diversification.

E) Hold To Maturity : The Town intends to hold its investments to maturity in order to maximize its return on its investments and minimize its exposure to potential losses resulting from temporary declines in the market values of its investments. However, if a decline in the market value of a security is deemed by Staff to be permanent, the security may be sold early to minimize the loss of principal. Although there may be opportunities to resell securities, this type of regular trading is not recommended.

F) Benchmark: Based on a passive investment strategy and a portfolio consisting of primarily bank deposits and public agency investment pools, the Treasurer may use as a comparison yield benchmark portfolios of similar average investment maturity, e.g. 90 Day United States Treasury Bill, 6 Month United States Treasury Bill, or the State Treasurer Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). In the event the Council authorizes investments in other securities as provided for in Section 4.02.070(A)(B), the Treasurer shall identify whether an alternative benchmark shall be presented to the City Council for approval.
[History: Formerly § 1.03.030; Adopted Res 2000-75, 12/13/2000; Res 2013-23, 7/11/13; Res 2016-50, 11/9/16; Res 2018-45, 10/24/18]
Division 2: Operations

4.02.040 Delegation of Authority and Internal Controls
A) As authorized in Government Code Section 53607, the City Council delegates the authority to invest funds of the Town to the Treasurer and/or any duly appointed Deputy Treasurer. The Treasurer and any duly appointed Deputy Town Treasurer shall make all investment decisions and transactions in accordance with State law and this investment policy. The City Manager is designated as the City Treasurer, in accordance with a Resolution adopted by the City Council. The City Treasurer has designated the Chief of Police and Administrative Services Director as Deputy Town Treasurers for the purpose of carrying out investment transactions, at such times as the Treasurer is unavailable.

B) Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53607, the delegation of the Treasurer and appointed Deputy Treasurer, shall be for a one -year period or until the delegation of authority is revoked or expires. In accordance with the law, the City Council may renew the authority each year as part of an annual review of this policy.
