BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City operating portfolio ended the quarter with investments totaling $169.15 million including:
$55.77 million State Local Agency Investment Fund and Local Government Investment Pool $101.18 million U.S. Treasury Notes
$9.68 million corporate notes
$0.77 million money market funds
$1.75 million municipal bonds
$0.003 million cash.
The market yield equaled 4.485% on December 31, 2024 and accrued interest income for the quarter totaled $1,758,544.
Cash balances attributable to various City Funds comprise the City’s temporarily idle cash invested in these portfolios. The invested cash is restricted to support each Funds’ purpose and not transferable between Funds. The invested cash is not discretionary. The City collectively invests and draws upon these funds to support working capital as needed. The City bases 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 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 consolidates cash and reserve balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings and increase efficiencies for investment pricing, safekeeping and administration, except cash in certain restricted and special funds. The City allocates investment income to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
