Subject: Approve Resolution No. 2024-14 for a project list of SB 1 Local Streets and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
Attachments: Resolution No. 2024-14
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution No. 2024-14 for a project list of SB 1 Local Streets and Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
BACKGROUND:
In April 2017, the California State Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. As part SB 1, specific transparency and accountability provisions must be met to ensure that the public is aware of the projects that have been completed utilizing SB 1 funds. In 2019, all City streets were evaluated and rated as part of a pavement management system update. The pavements have been evaluated to determine their Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The PCI scale ranges from 100 (new road) to 0 (gravel road).
Each year, the City is required to update and provide a list of proposed projects to receive funding from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA), in accordance with SB 1. Cities and Counties must annually adopt a resolution with a list of projects they anticipate funding with SB1 funds. The project lists must be submitted to the California Transportation Commission (CTC) by July 1 to be eligible for SB 1 funding for the following fiscal year.
For FY 24-25, the City is expected to have a total of $715,528 from the RMRA fund. This also includes previously unused funds, with interest.
Staff recommends for FY 24-25 project, to resurface 6th Street between Adams Avenue and C Street.
CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
1 of 2
None.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Adoption of the project and resolution will allow the City to maintain eligibility to receive the FY 24-25 SB1 funds.

AVISO A LOS PROPIETARIOS Y CONTRIBUYENTES DE UNA AUDIENCIA PÚBLICA SOBRE LOS AUMENTOS EN LAS
TARIFAS DE BASURA
NOTIFICACIÓN DE PROPOSICIÓN 218
Fecha y hora de la audiencia: 26 de Junio de 2024 a las 6:30 p.m. O tan pronto como sea posible. Lugar de la audiencia: Cámaras del Concejo Municipal, Ayuntamiento, 633 Sixth St., Orange Cove, CA 93646 Base de las tarifas propuestas: El Artículo XIIID de la Constitución de California requiere que la Ciudad demuestre claramente la base de todas las tarifas y cargos relacionados con la propiedad a los residentes. Las tasas de rechazo son necesarias para recuperar el costo de la recolecion del servicio, incluida una reserva razonable. La Ciudad llevó a cabo un estudio de tarifas para determinar cuál era el costo del servicio para que la Ciudad continuara brindando servicios de recolección de basura a la Ciudad. Con base en los resultados de ese estudio, la Ciudad se enteró de que necesitaba aumentar las tarifas para poder seguir brindando servicios de recolección de basura a la Ciudad.
Los aumentos de tarifas propuestos para el servicio residencial y comercial para los años fiscales 24-25 y 25-26 son los siguientes:
Vea Adjunto A
En el año fiscal 26-27, las tasas aumentarán en un 4% adicional para ajustarse a la inflación.
En el año fiscal 27-28, las tasas aumentarán en un 4% adicional para ajustarse a la inflación.
En el año fiscal 28-29, las tasas aumentarán en un 4% adicional para ajustarse a la inflación.
Tasas de basura: La Ciudad actualmente cobra tarifas de basura como una tarifa basada en el uso de la tierra o la propiedad, como se muestra en Adjunto A. Estas tarifas se basan en el carácter o tipo de uso en una dirección de servicio determinada. Los diferentes tipos o categorías de usos generan diferentes cantidades y calidades de desechos y, por lo tanto, incurren en diferentes tarifas para proveer el servicio a esa categoría de uso. Las categorías de usos se muestran en Adjunto A.
Impacto en su factura: Si se aprueban, los aumentos en la tasa de basura entrarían en vigencia con la facturación de Julio de 2024. La parte de basura en la factura mensual aumentaría como se muestra en Adjunto A.
Cumplimiento de la Proposición 218: En 1996, los votantes de California aprobaron la Proposición 218 que enmendó la constitución estatal relacionada con la aprobación de tarifas relacionadas con la propiedad. Hoy, la Proposición 218 requiere que la Ciudad: 1) informe a los dueños de propiedades y a los contribuyentes que se están considerando los aumentos de tarifas propuestos; 2) demostrar claramente la base sobre la que se calculan estas tarifas/tarifas; y 3) Tener una audiencia pública al menos 45 días después de la notificación. Las tasas de rechazo están sujetas a una "protesta mayoritaria", lo que significa que no se pueden aprobar si una mayoría (50% + 1) de los propietarios o contribuyentes afectados por el cambio de tarifas presentan protestas por escrito a la Ciudad oponiéndose al aumento.
Fecha, hora y lugar de la audiencia pública: La audiencia pública para los aumentos de tarifas propuestos se llevará a cabo el 26 de Junio de 2024 a las 6:30 p.m., O tan pronto como sea posible, en las Cámaras del Concejo Municipal, ubicadas en 633 Sixth St., Orange Cove, CA 93646.
Protesta por escrito: Una protesta por escrito contra el cambio de tarifa propuesto debe identificar la dirección de la propiedad afectada e incluir la firma del propietario o del contribuyente. Si la Ciudad recibe protestas por escrito contra las tarifas de basura propuestas por la mayoría de los propietarios afectados o los contribuyentes antes del final de la audiencia, el Concejo Municipal no aprobará el aumento de tarifas. De acuerdo con la Proposición 218, solo se contará una protesta por cada propiedad. Para obtener más información, comuniquese con la Ciudad al (559) 626-4488, o visite las oficinas de la Ciudad en la dirección de arriva. ¿Por qué son necesarios los ajustes de tarifas?
Los ajustes de tarifas son necesarios porque la Ciudad no ha buscado un aumento de tarifas en las tasas de basura en muchos años. Debido a eso, la Ciudad está cobrando muy por debajo del costo del servicio para proporcionar el servicio de basura a la Ciudad. Si la Ciudad continuara con las tarifas actuales, no podría mantener los servicios de de recolección de basura a la Ciudad. Además, la inflación en el último año ha aumentado los costos, por lo que la Ciudad también está solicitando aumentos inflacionarios.

CITY OF ORANGE COVE PUBLIC NOTICE
NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS AND RATEPAYERS OF PUBLIC HEARING ON REFUSE RATE INCREASES PROPOSITION 218 NOTIFICATION
Hearing Date & Time: June 26, 2024, at 6:30 PM or as soon thereafter as possible Hearing Location: City Council Chambers, City Hail, 633 Sixth St., Orange Cove, CA 93646 Basis of Proposed Rates: Article XIIID of the California Constitution requires that the City clearly demonstrate the basis for all property-related rates and charges to residents. Refuse rates are required to recoup the cost of providing the service, including a reasonable reserve. The City conducted a rate study to determine what the cost of service was for the City to continue providing refuse services to the City. Based upon the results of that study, the City learned it needed to increase rates in order to be able to keep providing refuse services to the City.
The proposed rate increases for standard residential and commercial service for Fiscal Years 24-25 and 25-26 are as follows:
Please see attachment A
In fiscal year 26-27, the rates will increase by an additional 4% to adjust for inflation.
In fiscal year 27-28, the rates will increase by an additional 4% to adjust for inflation.
In fiscal year 28-29, the rates will increase by an additional 4% to adjust for inflation.
Refuse Rates: The City currently charges refuse rates as a fee based on land or property use as shown above.
These rates are based on the character or type of use at a given service address. Different types or categories of uses generate different quantities and qualities of refuse, and therefore incur different rates to provide the service to that category of use. The categories of uses are shown above.
Impact on Your Bill: If approved, refuse rate increases would go into effect with the July, 2024 billings. The refuse portion of the monthly bill would increase as stated on Attachment A.
Compliance with Proposition 218: In 1996, California voters approved Proposition 218 which amended the state constitution relating to passage of property related fees. Today, Proposition 218 requires the City to: 1) inform property owners and rate payers that proposed rate increases are being considered; 2) clearly demonstrate the basis on which these fees/rates are calculated; and 3) hold a public hearing at least 45 days after notification.
Refuse rates are subject to a "majority protest," meaning they cannot be passed if a majority (50% + 1) of property owners or ratepayers impacted by the rate change submit written protests to the City opposing the increase.
Date, Time and Location of Public Hearing: The Public Hearing for proposed rate increases will be held on June 26, 2024 at 6:30 PM, or as soon thereafter as possible, at the City Council Chambers, located at 633 Sixth St., Orange Cove, CA 93646.
Written Protest: A written protest against the proposed rate change must identify the address of the impacted property and include signature(s) of the property owner(s) or rate payers). If the City receives written protests against the proposed refuse rates by a majority of the affected property owners or rate payers prior to the end of the hearing, the City Council will not approve the rate increase. in compliance with Proposition 218, only one protest for each property will be counted. For further information, please contact the City at (559) 626-4488, or visit the City offices at the address above.
Why are Rate Adjustments Needed?
Rate adjustments are needed because the City has not sought a rate increase in refuse rates in many years.
Because of that, the City is charging well below the cost of service to provide refuse service to the City. If the City were to continue at the current rates, it would not be able to sustain providing refuse service to the City.
Additionally, inflation in the past year has increased costs, which is why the City is requesting inflationary increases as well.

Honorable Orange Cove City Council and Residents:
I am pleased to present to you the annual budget for Fiscal Year 2024-25. This budget reflects our commitment to serving the citizens of Orange Cove by providing essential services, fostering community growth, and addressing the unique challenges faced by our rural, agriculture-based economy.
Economic Overview: Orange Cove's economy, rooted in agriculture, has historically followed a distinct trajectory compared to other regions in the state. While California as a whole may have seen economic successes, residents in our community have faced disproportionate challenges during the pandemic. However, I am pleased to report that we are emerging from those difficulties and are poised for growth.
Operational Balance: I want to highlight that staff has prepared a budget that is balanced that operates within our means. For this budget, we had to accommodate for the expiration of Measure O and rising health, pension, and benefit costs, finding ways to make adjustments without compromising essential services. Our commitment to fiscal responsibility ensures that we raise our credit ratings and prepare for future development.
Measure O: The recent outcome of Measure O in the last election has significant implications for our budget. Unfortunately, the city will no longer be able to fund the additional public safety services that were previously enabled by the parcel tax. Despite this challenge, the Orange Cove Police Department remains steadfast in its commitment to providing the highest standards of service to our community. In light of reduced funding, the police department is making necessary adjustments within this budget. While we face constraints, our dedication to public safety remains unwavering. We will continue to explore innovative solutions and prioritize essential services to ensure the well-being of our residents.
Community Investments: As summer approaches, Orange Cove residents deserve relief from the heat. I am thrilled to announce that we have secured funding to install a splash pad in the main park across the street. Our city has also secured $2 million in state and federal grants for a modern police station and reinforce our community's commitment to public safety.
Building a Thriving Community: As we move forward, the City of Orange Cove remains dedicated to creating an environment where our residents can thrive. Our staff is committed to fostering economic growth, enhancing public services, and ensuring that Orange Cove continues to be a place where families, businesses, and individuals flourish. Together, we look ahead with optimism, knowing that by working collaboratively, we can build a brighter future for our beloved community.
Sincerely,
Dail T. Pu
Daniel Parra
City Manager, City of Orange Cove
Budget Fundamentals
Preparation
Management has prepared the budget within these parameters and under these key assumptions. • Living Within Its Means - The city's proposed and adopted budget should keep expenditures within projected revenues and other available funding sources. • Prudent Service Delivery - The city should maintain its established level of core service delivery while ensuring any new services, initiatives, or programs meet objectives and can be funded with new or existing resources.
• Prioritizing the Future - The city should review special and major maintenance or capital projects to prioritize funding for only high priority or essential projects.
Budget Guide
This budget guide provides an overview of the elements of the budget document. The budget is the city's fundamental policy document. It describes the city's goals and objectives and indicates how resources are allocated to achieve those goals. In addition to its role as a policy document, the budget also serves as a financial plan, an operations guide, and a communication tool.
The City of Orange Cove keeps track of its activities in self-balancing sets of accounts called funds which are the basic accounting and reporting components in governmental accounting. Funds are designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain functions or activities.
Some funds are established to track activities required by law (i.e., gas tax fund), some fulfill revenue requirements (CDBG, Measure C funds), still others demonstrate prudent administrative practices (Enterprise funds and Debt Service).
Budget years run in fiscal year cycles beginning July 1 and ending June 30.
The operating budget is approved and balanced by fund. Some fund balance dollars are reserved for future expenses for several reasons. For example, a portion of special taxes, such as the gas tax, may be reserved and restricted for specific services or purposes such as street improvements. Other reserved balances may be a legal requirement such as a required reserve balance to comply with long-term bond debt covenants.
The city receives many different types of revenue. Some revenues are restricted to certain uses by law; other revenues are payment for a specific service provided to its customers; other revenues come from state and federal agencies; and other revenues are from involuntary taxes like sales tax or property tax. These revenues are organized and classified by source within the appropriate funds.
Basis of Accounting
The city uses what are known as accounts to organize its resources and to classify the use of those resources within funds and account groups. The operations of each fund are recorded in a separate set of self-balancing ledgers and classified as assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures (or expenses), as appropriate. Each fund is classified as either a Governmental, Proprietary, or Fiduciary Fund.
Each has its own rules and purposes. The following paragraphs explain these three classifications.
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for all of the city's general activities (general fund) plus the collection and disbursement of earmarked monies (special revenue funds), the acquisition of or construction of general fixed assets (capital project funds), and the servicing of general long-term debt (debt service funds). The General Fund is used to account for all the activities of the general government not accounted for in another fund.
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to sound financial administration and the primary intent is to recover the costs of providing the goods and services through user charges.
Goods or services from such activities can be provided either to outside parties (enterprise funds) or to other departments or agencies primarily with the government (internal service funds).
Agency Funds
Agency (or Fiduciary) funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties in a trustee capacity.
Basis of Budgeting
The budget is adopted consistent with generally accepted account principles as expressed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The budgets of the governmental fund types (general fund, special revenue, capital projects, and debt service) are prepared on a modified-accrual basis. This means expenditures are recorded when the liability is incurred, and revenues are recognized if they are received during the fiscal year or shortly thereafter.
In addition, the city treats encumbrances as expenditures only for budgetary control purposes.
Encumbrances open at year-end are reported as reservations of fund balances since they do not constitute expenditures or liabilities. Available expendable resources include beginning fund balance and current year revenues and transfers from other funds.
The basis for establishing the spending plans for the proprietary fund types, internal service funds (administrative services, risk management, and vehicle & equipment), and enterprise funds (water, sewer, and disposal) are on a full-accrual basis. Expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred, and revenues are recognized when the service is provided. Available expendable resources for proprietary funds included beginning working capital, current revenues, and transfers in. Beginning working capital is defined as current assets minus current liabilities, in other words, cash available to pay expenses.
Budget Process
The budget represents the financial plan for the City of Orange Cove. This document concludes an ongoing process involving input from departments and the public. Budget development is a process that typically begins in Feburary and continues until the budget is adopted by the City Councit in June.
Review of Goals
There are several goals associated with preparation and development of the budget. First, the budget is a financial plan and management tool. The document should assist staff in monitoring revenues and expenditures and in evaluation the effectiveness of City activity and services. Second, the budget serves as an important reference document. It should provide staff, City Council and the general public with extensive information on the nature and scope of city operations and services.
Department Budget Requests
The Finance Department issues revenue and expenditure budget sheets listing the prior year actual expenditures, current year appropriation amounts and space to input budget requests for the upcoming year. The departments fill out the forms providing sufficient justification for significant changes in revenues or expenditures. All budget requests are returned to the Finance Department.
Budget Review and Analysis
Department budget requests are reviewed by the City Manager, Finance Director, and Department Heads to ensure the intent of all budget requests is understood and complete. The budgets are analyzed in various ways, including evaluation of historical expenditure patterns as well as departmental operations. Spending priorities are based on the city's financial policies and mandated requirements focusing on service levels, complying with bond requirements, and the balancing of staffing, supplies and equipment. After the reviews, the management staff make their final adjustments and recommendations for presentation to City Council.
City Council Adoption
The proposed budget is printed and distributed prior to any public hearings. The city may hold additional workshops or conduct community surveys to help identify budget needs or preferences. After receiving input from the public, committees, and staff, the City Council may request any necessary final adjustments.
If needed, a second public hearing may be held to finalize and adopt the budget.
Budget Amendments
Following the adoption of the budget, it is sometimes necessary to amend the budget. Appropriations in the budget may be adjusted by recommendation of the Finance Director and approval by the City Manager when the budget is not increased in total amount. Savings from appropriations in one section of a department budget may be used to fund another section of a department budget. Any increase in appropriations that would increases the total adopted budget must be approved by the City Council.
Budget Calendar
City management generally follows a budget calendar to ensure the budget is prepared and adopted prior to the end of June. The process involves several groups, including the public through public meetings and hearings. The calendar below has been prepared for the next fiscal year's budget development schedule.

Finance and Budgeting Policy
Financial Goals
To maintain a financially viable City that can maintain quality municipal services to City of Orange Cove residents
To maintain and enhance the sound fiscal condition of the City Operating Budget Policy Goals
• The City of Orange Cove will adopt a balanced budget by June 30 of each year. • Current revenues will be sufficient to support current operating expenditures.
The City will project its equipment replacement and maintenance needs for the next five years and will update this projection each year. From this projection a maintenance and replacement schedule will be developed and followed.
• Allow appropriation adjustments during the year with the City Council approval, each request to include a fiscal impact analysis
The City will estimate its annual revenue by an objective, analytical process utilizing trend, judgmental, and statistical analysis as appropriate
Because revenues, especially those of the General Fund, are sensitive to both local and regional economic conditions, revenue projections will be adequately conservative One-time revenues will be used for one-time expenditures only User fees will be adjusted annually to recover the full cost of services provided, except when the City Council determines that a subsidy from the General Fund is in the public interest • The City will maintain a level of expenditures that will provide the public well-being and safety of the community
Reserve Policies
The City will maintain a General Fund Reserve of $2,000,000. The primary purpose of this reserve is to protect the City's essential service programs and funding requirement during periods of economic downturn or other unforeseen catastrophic costs. • Council approval is required before expending general fund or contingency reserves Utility Rates and Fees Policies
The City will set fees and user charges for each enterprise fund at a level that supports the total direct cost of the activity. Indirect costs include the cost of annual depreciation of capital assets and overhead charges
Utility rates will be established, reviewed and updated annually Short-term Debt Policies
The City may use short-term debt to cover temporary or emergency cash flow shortages. All short-term borrowing will be subject to City Council approval by ordinance or resolution prior to final commitment
• The City may issue inter-fund loans rather than outside debt instruments to short-term cash flow needs. Inter-fund loans will be permitted only if an analysis of the affected fund indicates excess funds are available and the use of these funds will not impact the fund's current operations. Interest rate will be set by City Council.
Long-term Debt Policies
The City will confine long-term borrowing to capital improvements that cannot be financed by current revenues
Where possible, the City will use special assessments, revenue, or other self-supporting bonds, and general obligations bonds
Proceeds from long-term debt will not be used for current on-going operations Investment Policy
It is the policy of the City of Orange Cove's office to invest public funds in accordance with the governing statutes and in such a manner as to obtain the highest investment return possible consistent with the safety and liquidity objective outlined in this policy.
Scope
This investment policy applies to all financial assets of the City of Orange Cove. These funds are accounted for in City of Orange Cove's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and include:
General Fund.
Special Revenue Funds.
Capital Project Funds.
• Enterprise Funds.
Trust and Agency Funds.
• Any new fund created by the legislative body, unless specifically exempted.
Prudence
Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived.
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officials shall be the "Prudent Person" standard and shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio under prevailing economic conditions at the moment of investment commitments. Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
In determining whether an Investment official has exercised prudence with respect to an investment decision, the determination shall be made taking into consideration the investment of all funds over which the official had responsibility rather than a consideration as to the prudence of a single investment, and, whether the investment decision was consistent with the written investment policy of the entity.
Objectives
The City's investments will be in accordance with all state statutes governing the investment of public funds. The City shall invest its cash with three objectives, listed in order of priority:
1. Safety. Safety of the principal invested is the primary objective to insure against loss. All investments must be fully insured, guaranteed, or collateralized. In order to obtain this objective, the portfolio will be diversified to guard against losses in any one security class. The City seeks to maximize protection afforded by the FDIC and the State's Public Deposit Protection Commission on its depository accounts.
2. Liquidity. The City's portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet all operating requirements, which might be reasonably anticipated. Investment maturities shall be matched to anticipated cash flow requirements whenever possible. At a minimum, the City will "ladder" investment maturities to coincide with cash outflow needs and to ensure a consistent minimum balance in the liquid portion of the portfolio.
3. Return on Investment. The City's investment portfolio shall attain a market-average rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the cash flow characteristics of the City and shall be in keeping with accepted financial management practices and procedures.
Investment Authority and Delegation
Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Finance Director hereinafter referred to as investment officer as designated by City Code.
Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the Investment Officer who shall act in accordance with this Investment Policy. Officers will prepare monthly investment reports and other special reports as may be deemed necessary.
All participants in the investment process shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the public trust. No officer or designee may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and supporting procedures.
Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Employees involved in the investment process shalt refrain from any personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. The Investment Officer shall disclose any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business with the City, and they shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City's portfolio.
Authorized Investments
The City's investments shall be consistent with the State Policy of California:
Certificates, notes, bonds, or other obligations of the United States or its agencies, or of any corporation wholly owned by the government of the United States, such as:
• Treasury bills.
Treasury bonds.
Government National Mortgage Association bonds.
Federal Home Loan Bank notes and bonds.
Federal National Mortgage Association notes, debentures, and guaranteed certificates of participation.
Obligations of any other government-sponsored corporation whose obligations are or may become eligible as collateral for advances to member banks as determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, such as:
• Federal Farm Credit Banks consolidated system-wide bonds and discount notes.
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation bonds and discount notes.
Federally Insured Certificates of Deposit
Continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as the LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund)
The City may also invest in other Joint Powers Authorities (JPAs) that meet the State Policy of California criteria for eligible investments such as:
California Asset Management Program (CAMP), a California Joint Powers Authority (PA) established in 1989 to provide professional investment services to California public agencies.
CAMP offers two primary investment options:
• CAMP Pool: A fully liquid, stable net asset value (NAV) investment emphasizing daily liquidity and safety of principal. It holds an AAAm rating from Standard & Poor's.
• CAMP Term: Designed for agencies with known cash flows, this fixed-rate, fixed-term investment option offers securities with maturities ranging from 60 days to one year. It is rated AAAf by Fitch.
Investment principal and interest are paid at maturity, with an automatic sweep into the CAMP Pool.
Safekeeping and Custody
Securities shall be held at a major national bank (such as Bank of New York, for example).
Maximum Maturities
The City's objective is to hold investments to maturity. The securities in the portfolio will be "laddered" and will attempt to match investments with anticipated cash flow requirements.
No single security will be purchased with a maturity date more than five years from the date of purchase.
Internal Controls
These reviews provide internal control by assuring compliance with the established policies, procedures, and prudent investment practices as outlined above.
The City Council will meet on a quarterly basis for review of the investment portfolio and performance. The Finance Director will provide a report summarizing investment activity, which will demonstrate compliance with the City's Investment Policy.
Performance Standards
The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain an average rate of return during budgetary and economic cycles consistent with the investment objectives and cash flow needs.
The investment strategy is active. Given this strategy, the benchmark used by the Treasurer to determine performance levels will be the average return on the LAIF (Local Agency Investment Fund). Yield considerations are secondary, however, to legality, safety, and liquidity.
Reporting
The Treasurer shall provide the City Council with a quarterly report for review, which will demonstrate compliance with the City of Orange Cove's Investment Policy. This report will summarize the current performance of the portfolio for City as measured against the benchmark, including the following:
A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period.
Final maturity of all investments listed.
Earnings rate.
Investment Policy Adoption
The City of Orange Cove Investment Policy shall be adopted by the City Council and reviewed on an annual basis. Any significant revisions thereto shall be approved by the Council Glossary

A
Accrual Basis of Accounting - Revenues are recognized when both measurable and available; expenditures are recorded when services have been substantially performed or goods have been received and the liabilities incurred.
Ad Valorem Taxes (which means "according to its value") - Commonly referred to as property taxes, are levied on both real and personal property according to the property's valuation and the tax rate. Adopted Budget - Revenues and appropriations approved by the City Council in June for the next fiscal year.
Agency Fund - Used to account for assets held by the city in a fiduciary capacity for individuals, government entities and others. Such funds are operated by carrying out the specifications of trust indentures, statues, ordinances, or other governing regulations.
Allocated Costs - An expense charged by one department/division to another for services performed for expenditures of a general nature that are charged to one main account and allocated to other departments/divisions by a specified formula.
Annualize - Taking changes that occurred mid-year and calculating their cost for a full year, for the purpose of preparing an annual budget.
Appropriation - An authorization made by the City Council that permits the city to incur obligations and to make expenditures of resources.
Arbitrage - The interest rate differential that exists when proceeds from a municipal bond - which is tax free and carries a lower yield - are invested in taxable securities with a yield that is higher. The 1986 Tax Reform Act made this practice by municipalities illegal solely as a borrowing tactic, except under certain safe- harbor conditions.
Assessed Valuation - A municipality's property tax base stated in dollars based on real estate and/or other taxable business property for the purposes of taxation, sometimes expressed as a percent of the full market value of the taxable property within a community.

Mello-Roos Bond - The Mello-Roos (named after its legislative sponsors) Community Facilities District Act of 1982 established a method where by almost every municipal subdivision of the state may form a special, separate district to finance a long list of public facilities by the sale of bonds and finance certain public services on a pay-as-you-go basis. These Community Facilities Districts are formed and bond issues authorized by a two-thirds vote of the property owners in the district. Typically, the only voters in a district are one or more real estate developers who own or have an option on all of the land in the district.

As the developer subdivides and sells of the land the new property owner assumes the tax burden.
