The City collectively invests and draws upon these funds to support working capital as needed. The City of Fullerton bases its investment practices and policies on state law, prudent money management and the Statement of Investment Policy. The primary goals of these practices are:
to protect the principal monies entrusted to this office to assure compliance with all federal, state and local laws governing the investment of public funds under the control of the City Treasurer to achieve a reasonable rate of return within the parameters of prudent risk management while minimizing the potential for capital losses arising from market changes or issuer default.
The City Treasurer controls all investable funds, including, but not limited to, the General Fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds, capital project funds, enterprise funds, and trust and successor agency funds. The City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report accounts for these funds. the City will consolidate cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and to increase efficiencies for investment pricing, safekeeping and administration, except for cash in certain restricted and special funds. The City will allocate investment income to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
