DISCUSSION
The City maintains a portfolio of investments in order to earn interest on cash balances that are not currently required to fund operations. California Government Code Sections 53601 and 53646 establish the types of investments allowed, the governing restrictions on these investments, the third-party custodian arrangement for certain investments, and the reporting practices related to the portfolios of local agencies. In keeping with best practices, the City has implemented an Investment Policy, which was last reviewed by the City Council on May 20, 2025. The policy is in full compliance with the requirements of both of the above-mentioned Code Sections.
The attached Quarterly Investment Report presents the City’s cash and investments for the quarter that ended June 30, 2025. The report complies with California Government Code Section 53646 regarding the reporting of detailed information on all securities, investments, and monies of the City, as well as the reporting of the market value of the investments held. All of the investments contained within the portfolio are in full compliance with the City’s Investment Policy and Government Code Section 53601 as to the types of investments allowed. As stated in the attached report, there is more than adequate liquidity within the portfolio for the City to meet its budgeted expenditures over the next six months.
The City’s in vestment policy has set the primary goals of the portfolio management as Safety and Liquidity followed by Yield. The City’s cash flow requirements are evaluated on an ongoing basis, with short -term needs accommodated through the City’s pooled investment funds with Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and California CLASS. LAIF is a pool of public funds managed by the State Treasurer of California, providing 24-hour liquidity while yielding a rate of return approximately equivalent to a one-year treasury bill.
California CLASS is a Joint Powers Authority investment pool that provides public agencies the opportunity to invest funds on a cooperative basis in rated pools managed in accordance with state law. With the combined use of a conservative approach to evaluating cash flow needs and LAIF and California CLASS liquidity, the City will not have to liquidate securities at current market rates that are intended to be held for longer-term investment.
The table below shows some of the key portfolio measures for the month.
