STAFF REPORT
Date: December 16, 2025
To: Honorable Mayor/Chair and City Council/Agency Members From: Juan Arauz and Richard Iglesias, Interim City Managers By: Charles Ortis, Senior Accountant
Subject: Approval of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) for the Month of November 2025
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is requested to approve the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Report for the month of November 2025 in the amount of $6,636,375.50.
BACKGROUND
1. In 1955, the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA) started. LAIF became part of the PMIA. The oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and an inhouse Investment Committee. The PMIB members consist of the State Treasurer, Director of Finance, and State Controller.
2. In 1977, LAIF was created as a voluntary program by Section 16429.1 et seq. of the California Government Code. The program was intended to be used as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. The LAIF continues today under State Treasurer, Fiona Ma's administration.
3. On November 1, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $6,636,375.50 (See Attachment).
4. On November 30, 2025, the balance in LAIF was $6,636,375.50 (See Attachment).
ANALYSIS
The voluntary program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio, which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Item Number

Treasurer’s Office investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer.
All securities are purchased under the authority of Government Code Section 16430 and 16480.4. The State Treasurer's Office takes delivery of all securities purchased on a delivery versus payment basis using a third-party custodian.
Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080 indicates, "Except as otherwise provided, no warrant shall be drawn or evidence of indebtedness issued unless there shall be at the time sufficient money in the treasury legally applicable to the payment of the same."
CONCLUSION
Once the City Council approves the current LAIF, this balance may be relied upon when determining if the City has sufficient funds available to pay demands and payroll as required by Cudahy Municipal Code Section 3.04.080.
STRATEGIC PLAN CORRELATION
Strategy #2. Provide regular updates to the City Council and community about the city’s finances.
