WHEREAS, on June 9, 2020, the City of Vallejo (“City”) received an application proposing to amend the Fairview at Northgate Planned Development Master Plan (PD24-0002) for the proposed residential subdivision located on a vacant 23.19-acre parcel at the southeast corner of Admiral Callaghan Lane and Turner Parkway (the “Project Site” or “Subject Property”) to increase the number of residential dwelling units from 178 to 245; and WHEREAS, in addition to the application for an amendment to the Planned Development Master Plan, the applicant’s application also requests an amendment to the Vesting Tentative Map, Development Review, Design Review and Landscape Review; and WHEREAS, on September 10, 2024, after multiple rounds of review, the application was determined to be complete; and

WHEREAS, on April 20, 2026, after giving all public notices required by State law and the City of Vallejo Municipal Code, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the Project, including the recommended environmental review determination pursuant to CEQA, and voted 5-0 (one absence) to adopt Resolution No. PC26-08, recommending the City Council consider/approve the Addendum; voted 5-0 (with one absence) to adopt Resolution No. 26-09, recommending the City Council introduce an Ordinance amending the Fairview at Northgate Planned Development Master Plan (PD24-0002) and amending the Zoning Map (PLN25-0110); and voted 5-0 (with one absence) to adopt Resolution No. 26-09, recommending the City Council approve an amendment to the Vesting Tentative Map (TM24-0002),

WHEREAS, on May 26, 2026, the City Council, after giving all public notices required by State law and the City of Vallejo Municipal Code, conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the Project, and did consider all oral and written testimony submitted to the City regarding the same prior to taking its action regarding the Project; and WHEREAS, by separate Resolution No. 26-___ adopted prior hereto, the City Council did consider the Addendum to the certified Environmental Impact Report for the Fairview at Northgate Project prior to taking action on the Project; and WHEREAS, the Record of Proceedings ("Record") upon which the City Council bases its decision on the Project includes but is not limited to: (1) the environmental document prepared for the Project and the appendices and technical reports cited in and/or relied upon in preparing same; (2) the staff reports, City files and records and other documents, prepared for and/or submitted to the City relating to the environmental document and the Project; (3) the evidence, facts, findings and other determinations set forth in this ordinance; (4) the City of Vallejo General Plan and its related EIR (“GP EIR”); (5) the Vallejo Zoning Ordinance and its Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration; (6) the Vallejo 2023-2031 Housing Element, and the Addendum to the GP EIR; (7) the Vallejo Municipal Code and its related environmental documents; (8) all documentary and oral evidence received at public meetings, hearings, or submitted to the City during the comment period relating to the Project; and (9) all other matters of common knowledge to the City Council including, but not limited to, City state, and federal laws, policies, rules, regulations, reports, records, and projections related to development within the City of Vallejo and its surrounding areas.
The location and custodian of the records is the City Clerk’s Office of the City of Vallejo, 555 Santa Clara Street, Vallejo, California 94590.
NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The foregoing recitals are true and correct, and the same are incorporated herein by reference.
Section 2. The City Council of the City of Vallejo hereby makes the following findings as required by Section 16.610.03 of the Vallejo Municipal Code with respect to the proposed Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan:
1. The proposed development is consistent with the general plan, including the density and intensity limitations that apply;
Facts in Support: The proposed Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan as set forth in Exhibit A has been reviewed for consistency with the Vallejo General Plan 2040 (“General Plan”) and found to be consistent with the applicable goals and policies of the General Plan, as documented in Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. It is further consistent with the General Plan land use designations of Mix of Housing Types/Medium Density (R-MH), which allow residential neighborhoods comprised of mixture of singlefamily homes and other types of homes. The R-MH has a maximum permitted residential density of 25 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Amended Planned Development Master Plan proposes 245 detached single-family residential units, which equates to a density of 10.6 dwelling units per acre on the 23.19-acre site, which is consistent with the maximum permitted densities of the R-MH designation.
2. The subject site is physically suitable for the type and intensity of the land use being proposed;
Facts in Support: The 23.19-acre site is suitable for the 245-unit subdivision, allowing for new streets, landscaping, adequate on-site circulation, emergency access, and all necessary utilities. The Fairview at Northgate Planned Development, including the residential and commercial portions of the project, was designed to avoid the 5.7-acre of existing wetlands area that will be preserved as open space.
3. Adequate transportation facilities and public services exist or will be provided in accord with the conditions of development plan approval, to serve the proposed development; and the approval of the proposed development will not result in a reduction of traffic levels of service or public services so as to be a detriment to public health, safety, or welfare;
Facts in Support: The Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan includes reconfigured retail space and improved driveway access along Admiral Callaghan Lane to support site access while allowing for future circulation improvements. The project also features internal pedestrian paths, bicycle parking, and transit stop enhancements, aligning with local and regional goals for active transportation and transit accessibility. As compared to the 2020 approved project, level of service thresholds would still be exceeded, but the proposed project would not worsen the severity of existing significant and unavoidable impacts, nor would it result in any new impacts.
The proposed Project was referred to the City of Vallejo Public Works Department, Water Department, Fire Prevention Division, Building Division and the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District (VFWD). These departments and the District are responsible for ensuring
the provision of adequate infrastructure for water, sewer, emergency medical/fire, and stormwater control. Each department and agency provided draft conditions of approval intended to ensure the Project provides adequate infrastructure and improvements related to utilities and emergency access. These conditions of approval are to be adopted with the development plan for the Project and implemented at the time construction detail drawings are submitted for grading, site improvement, and building permits.
The Project Site will require the installation of new utilities, including water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, electricity, gas, and telecommunications infrastructure. The infrastructure to be provided would be a combination of public and private systems. A new 8-inch water main line would connect to an existing 14-inch water main in Turner Parkway at two locations, for a looped system. VFWD maintains existing sanitary sewer lines within the vicinity of the Project site. A new 8-inch public sanitary sewer line would connect to the existing 12-inch public sanitary sewer main line located in Turner Parkway. The sanitary sewer would be designed and installed to VFWD standards. The storm drain system would be designed and installed to VFWD standards and be privately owned and maintained by the HOA. The proposed storm drain system would convey runoff to a bio-retention basin that would be installed in the northwest corner of the site. This basin would provide both water quality and hydro-modification meeting current City standards before discharging to one of the open space parcels.
4. The proposed development will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding land uses and will be compatible with the existing and planned land use character of the surrounding area;
Facts in Support: The proposed Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan is comprised of commercial, residential, recreation, and open space. The commercial development would be located in the western portion of the proposed Project Site, bordered by Admiral Callaghan Lane to the west, Turner Parkway to the north, a Honda car dealership and condominiums and apartments to the south, and an open space corridor bisecting the project site to the east. The residential development would be located on the eastern portion of the proposed Project Site, bordered by Turner Parkway to the north, the existing Hunter Ranch Subdivision to the east, condominiums and apartments to the south, and the designated open space to the west (buffer to the planned commercial area). The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding land uses and therefore, as proposed, will not have a substantial adverse effect on the existing, nor planned surrounding land use character of the surrounding area.
5. The development generally complies with applicable adopted design guidelines; and Facts in Support: The proposed Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan (Exhibit A) and the Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan Project Plans, attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated by reference, include specific design standards for materials, colors, and development standards (e.g. setbacks, lot coverage, etc.) within the subdivision. The homes have been designed in the “Wine Country Agrarian” architectural style. The homes will incorporate different finished materials such as stucco, stone or brick veneer, cementitious lap siding or panels, cementitious board and batten siding, and naturally decay resistant wood. The
architectural detailing (shutters, eave brackets, corbels, exposed rafters/rafter tails, and/or beams) have been proposed to provide visual interest and richness to the elevations, thereby resulting in a development that will be consistent with the design standards included in the Project Plans.
6. The proposed development is demonstratively superior to the development that could occur under the standards applicable to the underlying base district, and will achieve superior community design, environmental preservation and/or substantial public benefit. In making this determination, the following factors shall be considered:
a. Appropriateness of the use(s) at the proposed location. b. The mix of uses, housing types, and housing price levels. c. Provision of units affordable to persons and families of low and moderate income or to lower income households, if applicable.
d. Provision of infrastructure improvements.
e. Provision of open space.
f. Compatibility of uses within the development area.
g. Quality of design, and adequacy of light and air to the interior spaces of the buildings.
h. Overall contribution to the enhancement of neighborhood character and the environment of Vallejo in the long term.
i. Creativity in design and use of land; and
Facts in Support: The proposed Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan is demonstrably superior to what could be achieved under the standards of the underlying zoning district and provides substantial community design, environmental, and public benefits. The project is appropriate for its location, adjacent to existing detached single-family residences to the east, and is designed to create a cohesive transition between neighborhoods while maintaining neighborhood character. The development includes single-family and cluster style housing types designed with high-quality architecture, adequate light and air, and complementary scale to surrounding homes. The proposed cluster style homes provide a mixture of housing types and opportunity for different price points. All units will incorporate modern sustainability features, including solar panels. The subdivision includes infrastructure improvements such as underground electrical and internet service, new streets, water and storm drainage systems, and bio-swales. Approximately 1.8-acres of the subject property will be divided between two privately owned parks: a neighborhood park located in the center of the residential development, and a linear park, located at the western edge of the residential development.
Additionally, 5.7-acres of wetland area between the residential and commercial portions of the development will be preserved as open space and will be maintained by the HOA. The development’s layout and design promote compatibility with surrounding uses, thoughtfully balance land and open space, and contribute to the long-term enhancement of neighborhood character and the environment of Vallejo. Through these measures, the development demonstrates creativity in design and use of land while achieving substantial public benefits beyond what would occur under standard zoning.
7. The proposed PD rezoning and planned development plan has been reviewed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, if applicable, and the requirements of this chapter.
Facts in Support: An Addendum to the Fairview at Northgate Project Certified EIR (SCH# 2018102007) has been reviewed and considered in compliance with CEQA. By separate Resolution No. 26-___ adopted prior hereto, the City Council did consider the Addendum prior to taking action on the Project.
Section 3. Amendment to the Fairview at Northgate Master Plan The City Council hereby approves the Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan as set forth in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Section 4. The City Council of the City of Vallejo hereby makes the following findings as required by Section 16.611.03 of the Vallejo Municipal Code with respect to the proposed Zoning Map Amendment:
1. The change in district boundaries is consistent in principle with the general plan; Facts in Support: The proposed zoning designation of Planned Development (PD) will implement the Retail/Entertainment (R/E) and Mix of Housing Types/Medium Density (R-MH). As mentioned above, the Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan as set forth in Exhibit A has been reviewed for consistency with the General Plan and found to be consistent with the applicable goals and policies of the General Plan, as documented in Exhibit B.
The Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan is consistent with the General Plan land use designation of R/E as it will provide general retail and services for local residents as well as consumers and visitors from the wider region. Also, the proposed commercial development provides a total of 0.18 Floor Area Ratio (FAR), which is consistent with the FAR of 1.5 in the R/E designation. It is further consistent with the General Plan land use designations of Mix of Housing Types/Medium Density (R-MH), which allow residential neighborhoods comprised of mixture of single-family homes and other types of homes. The R-MH has a maximum permitted residential density of 25 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Amended Planned Development Master Plan proposes 245 detached single-family residential units, which equates to a density of
10.6 dwelling units per acre on the 23.19-acre site, which is consistent with the maximum permitted densities of the R-MH designation.
2. The change in district boundaries is consistent with the purpose of the Zoning Code to promote the growth of the city in an orderly manner and to promote and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare; and
Facts in Support: The proposed change in district boundaries is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Code due to the orderly growth and development of the City through the establishment of a coordinated land use pattern that is compatible with both existing development and planned future uses. The rezoning to PD will facilitate implementation of the Amended
Fairview at Northgate Master Plan and provide a comprehensive framework for integrated residential and commercial development on the project site. The Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan is designed to ensure compatibility with surrounding land uses by locating higherintensity commercial uses adjacent to Interstate 80, where regional access, visibility, and transportation infrastructure are most appropriate, while placing residential uses adjacent to existing residential neighborhoods to provide appropriate transitions in land use intensity and scale. This site planning approach minimizes potential land use conflicts, supports efficient circulation and access, and promotes compatibility with surrounding development patterns.
The proposed change in district boundaries will further promote and protect the public health, safety, and general welfare by ensuring that future development occurs in a manner consistent with adopted planning policies, available public infrastructure and services, and established development standards. The Planned Development designation will also allow the City to apply site-specific development regulations and design controls that ensure high-quality development, coordinated infrastructure improvements, and orderly implementation of the Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan consistent with the objectives of the Zoning Code and General Plan.
3. The change in district boundaries is necessary to achieve the balance of land uses desired by the city, consistent with the general plan, and to increase the inventory of land within a given zoning district.
Facts in Support: The rezoning of the subject property from Regional Commercial (RC) and Residential Medium Density (RMD) to Planned Development (PD) is necessary to achieve the balance of land uses desired by the City and is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The rezoning will correct the zoning map to reflect the original entitlement framework and facilitate implementation of the Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan.
The Amended Fairview at Northgate Master Plan will continue to provide for a mix of commercial retail, restaurant, and residential uses that serve both local residents and visitors from the broader region. The Plan also increases residential development opportunities on the site while maintaining supporting commercial uses, thereby strengthening the City’s housing and employment base in a coordinated manner.
The rezoning to Planned Development (PD) will increase the inventory of land available for integrated mixed-use development and provide flexibility to implement a unified development plan tailored to site-specific conditions and community needs. The resulting mix of residential and commercial uses will support orderly growth, expand housing opportunities, maintain employment-generating uses, and promote a balanced land use pattern consistent with the General Plan and the long-term development objectives of the City of Vallejo.

REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
In order for the City Council to call for the General Municipal Election on November 3, 2026 they must adopt a resolution (Attachment 1) requesting that the General Municipal Election be conducted and requesting the Solano County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the election to be held on the same date, and requesting that the Solano County Registrar of Voters provide election services.

BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Charter section 1000, the City's General Municipal Election is to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each even-numbered year. On November 3, 2026 the City will be conducting its fourth district-based election. On July 23, 2019 the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1817 N.C. (2d), an ordinance providing for the election of six members of the City Council by Districts and the election of the Mayor city-wide, establishing the boundaries and identification number of each district, establishing the election order of each district (Map 616, sequence option 1) (Attachment 3). Elections Code section 21620 et. seq. requires the City Council to adjust the boundaries of each City Council district following each decennial federal census. Following the completion of the federal census in 2020, the City Council completed the redistricting process and adopted Ordinance No. 1862 N.C. (2d), adopting a new district map (Draft Map B).
Electors will be electing three members to the City Council, one each from Districts 2, 4 and 5. The councilmembers representing each of the three districts will all be elected for a term of four years. The City Charter and the California Elections Code require that the City adopt a Resolution at each election requesting that the General Municipal Election be conducted, requesting the Solano County Board of Supervisors to consolidate the election to be held on the same date, and requesting that the Solano County Registrar of Voters provide elections services.
In addition, Vallejo Municipal Code section 2.56.060 states that each candidate submitting a candidate statement shall pay the cost of printing, handling, translating and mailing the candidate statement as set forth

CONSENT CALENDAR 8.E.
DATE: June 9, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Nalungo Conley, Acting Finance Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY AND DELEGATION FOR FY 2026-2027
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution approving the (1) annual Statement of Investment Policy (Attachment 2) and (2) delegation of investment authority to the City Finance Director, serving as City Treasurer, for Fiscal Year 2026-2027.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The investment of funds by a California local agency, including the types of securities in which an agency may invest, is governed by State law and local policy. Government Code Section 53646 allows a local agency at its option to provide for the chief fiscal officer to render a statement of investment policy for consideration and amendment by the City Council at a public meeting.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The City Council annually reviews and approves a Statement of Investment Policy.
Vallejo City Charter Section 725 delegates the authority for investing City funds to the City Manager.
Furthermore, the City Manager has delegated his authority for investing the unexpended cash of the City Treasury and daily management of the investment portfolio to the City Finance Director who serves as the City Treasurer.
State law specifies permitted investments for local governments, while the City’s Statement of Investment Policy defines the suitable and authorized investments for the City. In some cases, the City’s policy is more restrictive than State law. Moreover, the Investment Policy serves as a guide for setting and achieving the City’s own investment objectives and defines guidelines for the management of the City’s portfolio.
Once adopted by the City Council, the Investment Policy sets portfolio management objectives and practices, specifies allowable investment instruments, states the criteria for purchasing those securities, prohibits certain types of security purchases, and fixes the maximum investment horizon (generally five years). The City’s Finance Director, serving as City Treasurer, uses these guidelines to manage and safeguard the investment of public funds held by the City.
Revisions to the annual Investment Policy are made, if needed, during the annual review to incorporate policy or statutory changes affecting the City’s investment program and daily investing activities. Policy revisions are generally technical in nature, such as process changes or language clarifications. Statutory changes are changes in state law affecting allowable investments or procedures related to investing activities. Further, the annual review is also a good time to clarify certain terms, remove ambiguity in the policy language, and better reflect changes in current market trading technologies.
Date: June 9, 2026
Subject: ADOPT RESOLUTION APPROVING THE STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY AND DELEGATION FOR FY 2026-2027
Tonight, staff presents the Statement of Investment Policy, previously adopted by the City Council on June 10, 2025, with the following changes:
• Page 11: From "Any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity" to "investment in any security that could result in a zero interest accrual if held to maturity is prohibited. Under a provision sunsetting on January 1, 2031 , securities backed by the U.S. Government that could result in a zero- or negative-interest accrual if held to maturity are permitted." • Page 17: Under Commercial Paper - Updated from maximum of 270 days to 397 days and the sunset date on this provision was updated from 1/1/2026 to 1/1/2031 • Page 21 and 22: Tables updated to reflect the changes above.
Chandler Asset Management (Chandler) is the City's investment advisor and all funds managed by Chandler are in full compliance with State law and with the City's Investment Policy. Principal Financial Group is the City’s third-party custodian for safekeeping of all of its investments, with the exception of the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF). ComputerShare is the City’s Bond Trustee.
This Investment Policy applies to all financial assets and investment activities of the City of Vallejo, except those financial assets explicitly excluded from coverage by the Investment Policy.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no immediate financial impact or budget action necessary as a result of the recommended actions.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

CITY OF VALLEJO INVESTMENT POLICY
1.0 POLICY
A. It is the policy of the City of Vallejo (hereinafter “City”) to invest public funds of the City in a prudent manner which will preserve principal, maintain liquidity and achieve a reasonable rate of return. Sufficient liquidity will insure that the City is able to meet daily cash flow requirements, while conforming to all state and local statutes governing the investment of said public funds. This Investment Policy is now amended and adopted as of June 10, 2025, and will serve as the City of Vallejo Investment Policy.

The Charter authorizes the City Manager to invest funds as follows “after taking into account the amounts required to meet the current and pending requirements of the City, the City Manager may arrange for the term deposit or investment in securities authorized by law of any balances available for such purpose, and the yield therefrom shall be credited as revenue to each fund from which investments are made”. In accordance with the Vallejo City Charter Section 725, the responsibility of investing these funds resides in the City Manager. Furthermore, the City Manager has delegated his or her responsibility for investing these funds and daily management of the investment portfolio to the City Finance Director who serves as the City Treasurer.

c. Investments held by the administrators of the City’s IRS code section 457 deferred compensation program.
d. Investments held in trust by another entity to fund the employees’ retiree health savings plans.
e. Cash and investments raised from conduit debt financing. f. The proceeds of the City bond issues, notes or similar financings including, but not limited to reserve funds, project funds, debt service funds and capital trust funds derived from such financings, as well as funds set aside to defease City debt in conjunction with an advance refunding agreement, shall be invested pursuant to their respective bond or trust indentures or the State of California Government Code 53600 et. seq., as applicable and not necessarily in compliance with this policy. g. Cash and investments held in lieu of retention by banks or other financial institutions for construction projects.
h. Short or long term loans made to other entities by the City or Successor Agency.
4.0 INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSE ALLOCATIONS
Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation based on the cash balance in each fund as a percentage of the entire pooled portfolio, or other such method as directed by the City Finance Director/Treasurer, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The costs of managing the investment portfolio, including but not limited to: investment management fees; accounting for the investment activity; custody of the assets and oversight control expenses are charged to the individual funds on an annual basis, based upon actual expenses incurred, or using other such methods as directed by the City Finance Director/Treasurer.
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City will consolidate cash balances from all funds to maximize investment options.
5.0 PRUDENCE
The City will manage the investment portfolio under the Prudent Investor Standard, which as authorized under California Government Code Section 53600.3 states that:
“Except as provided in subdivision (a) of Section 27000.3, all governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of those local agencies investing public funds pursuant to this chapter are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds,
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic conditions and the anticipated needs of the agency, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of this section and considering individual investments as part of an overall strategy, investments may be acquired as authorized by law."
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 consideration as to the prudence of a single investment and, whether the investment decision was consistent with the City’s Investment Policy and written investment procedures.
The City recognizes that in a diversified portfolio selected losses may occur when selected securities are sold to meet cash flow needs or to improve the overall portfolio performance and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio's investment return.
This standard of prudence shall be applied in the context of managing the City’s investment portfolios.
6.0 INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The objective of this policy is to provide guidance to invest City funds in accordance with California Government Code Section 53600.5 which states that when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling, or managing public funds, the primary objective of a trustee shall be to safeguard the principal of the funds under its control. The secondary objective shall be to meet the liquidity needs of the depositor. The third objective shall be to achieve a return on the funds under its control. Using sound treasury management principles, this policy seeks to achieve, in order of priority:
A. Safety: Safety of invested funds is the first and primary objective of the City’s investment program. The highest priority must be accorded to the preservation and protection of principal.
B. Liquidity: Maintenance of sufficient liquidity to meet all cash flow requirements that might be reasonably anticipated for at least six (6) months.
C. Return: The City’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a pre-established benchmark rate of return, throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints and the cash flow requirements of the portfolio. Return will however be a secondary consideration subordinate to the higher priorities accorded to the safety and liquidity of principal. The core of investments shall be limited to relatively low risk securities with the intention of earning a fair return commensurate with the constraints set forth herein.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
Investments shall be selected in a manner that will attempt to ensure the safety of the City’s principal. This will be accomplished through a program of investment instrument selection, diversification, maturity limitations, and quality constraints. Investment transactions shall seek to keep principal losses at a minimum, whether they are from individual security defaults/downgrades or general erosion of market value due to rising interest rates.
A. SAFETY
To protect the value of the principal and interest of the invested funds, the City will invest only in securities with acceptable credit quality as outlined in the California Government Code Section 53600 et. Seq. which include, but are not limited to, those backed by the U.S. Government or its agencies; those which have insurance on principal backed by FDIC, or those which have been legally defeased with U.S. Government collateral.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of principal in the overall portfolio. This statement refers to the overall portfolio as opposed to individual investments. The objective will be to minimize credit risk and market risk.
It is recognized that within a well-diversified portfolio, at any particular point in time, that security valuations are impacted by changes in interest rates and economic conditions. Accordingly, securities may at times be worth less than the original purchase price based on market fluctuations. It is further understood, that in the event of the need for a forced liquidation of investments to meet unplanned or unanticipated cash flow demands, a potential loss of investment principal might occur.
The City recognizes that investment risk can result from issuer defaults, market price changes or various technical complications leading to temporary illiquidity. Portfolio diversification is employed as a way to minimize and control these risks.
a. Credit Risk - Credit Risk is the risk of loss due to the failure, degradation, or decreased likelihood that the security issuer or backer will fulfill its obligations with respect to timely principal and interest payment. Credit risk will be mitigated by:
• Limiting investments to the acceptable credit quality as outlined in the California Government Code Section 53600 et. Seq.; and
• Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers and intermediaries with which the City will do business; and
• Diversifying the investment portfolio so that the failure of any one issuer would not unduly harm the City's cash flow. No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
b. Market Risk - Market risk is the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to market influence such as changes in general interest rates. Market risk may be minimized by:
• Structuring the investment portfolio to limit the average maturity of the City’s portfolio to a maximum of three years and the maximum legal final maturity of any one security in
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
the portfolio to five years, and by structuring the portfolio with an adequate mix of highly liquid securities and maturities to meet major cash outflow requirements.
B. LIQUIDITY
Maturity dates of investments will be timed to assure that funds are available for payment obligations that may be reasonably anticipated. Liquidity refers to the ability to sell investments at any given moment while minimizing the chance of losing some portion of principal. Since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of liquid securities with active secondary or resale markets.
Furthermore, the City shall maintain short term investments which offer same day liquidity for short-term funds.
C. RETURN ON INVESTMENTS
The City of Vallejo’s investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a benchmark rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, commensurate with the City’s investment risk constraints and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio. Return on investments is subordinate to the requirements of safety and liquidity. The core of investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed.
7.0 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
In order to assist in the evaluation of the portfolios’ performance, the City will employ a relevant performance benchmark for the portfolio consistent with the Investment Policy mandated maturity, quality and concentration constraints. The City will utilize benchmark to measure risk being taken at portfolio outcomes. Since return on investment is not the most important objective of the portfolio, the benchmark will be used solely as a reference tool. The reporting of a benchmark does not imply that the City Treasurer will add additional investment risk to the portfolio in order to attain or exceed the benchmark. Whenever possible, and consistent with risk limitations as defined herein and prudent investment principles, the Treasurer shall seek to augment returns above the risk free rate of return.
8.0 DIVERSIFICATION
The City will diversify its investments to reduce credit risk or market risk losses to the portfolio as a whole, while still attaining a market-average rate of return. Diversification requires not just an array of instrument types, but also an array of maturities and issuers. The following represents the quality and concentration limits to which the investment portfolio must conform:
a. No more than 5% of the total portfolio may be invested in securities issued by any single issuer unless otherwise specified in this policy.
b. No more than 50% of the portfolio will be invested in any one asset class (with the exception of U.S. Treasury securities, and authorized pools).
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
9.0 REPORTING
California Government Code Section 53607 requires monthly reporting of transactions to the City Council and Section 53646 provides for an optional quarterly investment report to be submitted to the City Council. This Investment Policy requires the quarterly investment report to be submitted no later than 45 days following the City’s receipt of the last monthly trustee investment statement for the reporting period covered by the report. The report will identify each security held under the management of contracting parties and the City, the earnings of the portfolio, and a statement of the Investment Program's ability to meet the expected net expenditure requirements for the next six months.
The report shall include the following information:
A. Type of investment, issuer, date of maturity, par value and dollar amount invested in all securities, investments and money held by the City at the end of the reporting period; and B. A listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period by authorized investment category and percentage of portfolio represented by each investment category; and
C. Average life and final maturity of all investments listed, and coupon, discount or earnings rate; and
D. Par Value, Fair Value and Cost Value; and

10.0 SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
All security transactions of the City, including collateral on repurchase agreements, will be executed by delivery-versus-payment (DVP). This ensures that securities are deposited in the eligible financial institution prior to the release of funds. A third party custodian, as designated by the Treasurer and as evidenced by safekeeping receipts, will hold securities of the City.
11.0 AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
The Treasurer’s office will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services, including approved security broker/dealers.
A. The City shall transact business only with banks, savings and loans, and with investment securities dealers as defined in Government Code Section 53601.5:
53601.5 – Designated entities from whom a local agency may purchase authorized investments:
“The purchase by a local agency of any investment authorized pursuant to Section 53601 or 53601.1, not purchased directly from the issuer, shall be purchased either from an institution licensed by the state as a broker-dealer, as defined in Section 25004 of the Corporations Code, or from a member of a federally regulated securities exchange, from a national or state-chartered bank, from a federal or state association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code) or from a brokerage firm designated as a primary government dealer by the Federal Reserve Bank.”
B. Before accepting funds or engaging in investment transactions with the City, the supervising officer at each depository and recognized securities broker/dealer shall submit a certification that the officer has reviewed the investment policies and objectives and agrees to disclose potential conflicts or risks to public funds that might arise out of business transactions between the firm/depository and the City of Vallejo.
C. If the City has engaged the services of a registered investment advisory firm, the firm is authorized to conduct investment transactions on the City’s behalf with their own list of approved broker/dealers and financial institutions. The investment advisor’s approved list must be made available to the City upon request. In selecting financial institutions for the deposit or investment of City funds, the credit rating of these institutions will be considered. These financial institutions shall be authorized to provide investment services in California. To the extent practicable, investment transactions should be executed using a competitive bid process whenever possible.
12.0 COLLATERALIZATION
Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. In order to anticipate market changes and provide a level of security for all funds, the collateralization level for any amount exceeding FDIC coverage shall be in accordance with California Government Code Section 53652 and/or 53651 (m)(1).
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
The City chooses to limit acceptable collateral to the following: Cash, U.S. Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds, and Federal Agency issues.
Collateral will always be held in the City’s name by an independent third party with whom the City of Vallejo has a current custodial agreement. A clearly marked evidence of ownership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied to the City.
The right of collateral substitution is reserved by the City.
13.0 DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
In accordance with the Vallejo City Charter, Section 725, the authority to invest City funds is delegated to the City Manager. The City Manager delegates this authority to the Director of Finance, serving as City Treasurer. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided for under the terms of this policy. Although the Finance Director/Treasurer may delegate these duties to another official in the Department of Finance, the Finance Director shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and will establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials.
14.0 ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST
In accordance with California Government Code Sections 1090 et seq. and 87100 et seq., officers and employees of the City and professional investment managers (“investment officials”) will refrain from any personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions for the City. All investment personnel, including professional investment managers, shall comply with the reporting requirements of the Political Reform Act, to include the annual filing of Statements of Economic interest. No investments will be made with or through any family or blood-related relative or any firm that employs any family or blood-related relative of any City Elected Official, Appointed Official, or City employee. Additionally, investment officials must refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individuals employed by the financial institution with whom business is conducted on behalf of the City.
15.0 POLICY REVISION AND ADOPTION
This Investment Policy shall be reviewed and adopted at least annually by resolution of the City Council of Vallejo. Furthermore, it can be revised whenever necessary by the City Council or Finance Director with City Council approval, and any modifications made thereto must be approved by the City Council, as required by law.
16.0 PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS
Certain investment practices and instruments may be inconsistent with the safety of invested funds, or prohibited by the State of California Government Code Section 53601.6 and are
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
therefore prohibited transactions. Prohibited investments include securities not listed in Attachment A below, as well as but not limited to:
A. Investments Prohibited by State of California Government Code Section 53601.6:
1. Mortgage Derived Interest-Only Strips.
2. Investment in any security that could result in a zero interest accrual if held to maturity is prohibited. Under a provision sunsetting on January 1, 2031, securities backed by the U.S. Government that could result in a zero- or negative-interest accrual if held to maturity are permitted.
3. "Complex" derivative structures such as range notes or inverse floaters.
4. Auction-rate preferred securities.
B. Additional Investments Prohibited by the City of Vallejo:
1. No direct investment in financial agreements whose returns are linked to or derived from the performance of some underlying assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies or commodities products (“Derivatives”). Only allowed as part of the City’s investments in Government Investment Pools and sweep accounts. This may include dual index notes, leveraged or de-leveraged floating rate notes, or any other complex variable rate or structured note, and any other financial derivative.
2. Leveraged investing, such as in margin accounts or any form of borrowing against or otherwise obligating city investments for the purpose of investment.
3. Options and future contracts.
4. Taking short positions; that is, selling securities that the City does not own.
5. Equity Securities (Common or Preferred Stocks).
6. Securities with a forward settlement date exceeding 45 days is prohibited.
Purchasing these types of instruments does not coincide with the City’s Investment Policy objectives and would require a thorough review and monitoring of the underlying security. Although some of these transactions are legal under California Government Code, they do not meet the objectives contained in this Investment Policy.
Prohibited investments already held in the portfolio at the time of adoption of this policy may continue to be held until maturity at the discretion of the Finance Director/Treasurer.
17.0 SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Investment of funds should be guided by the following socially responsible investment goals when investing in corporate securities and depository institutions. Investments should be made
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
in compliance with these goals to the extent that such investments achieve substantially equivalent safety, liquidity and yield compared to investments permitted by California state law.
The City shall seek opportunities for investing in companies that have a positive impact on the environment and fair workplace practices. Investments are encouraged in entities that support equality of rights, regardless of sex, race, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation. No investment is to be made in a company that receives more than 51 percent of its gross revenues from the production or manufacture of fossil fuels, weapons manufacturing, cigarettes, alcohol or gaming products.
18.0 MAXIMUM MATURITY LIMIT
To the extent possible, the City of Vallejo will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. In compliance with State of California Government Code Section 53601, the City will not directly invest in any securities with a legal final maturity of more than five years from the date of trade settlement, unless the City Council has granted express authority to make that investment either specifically or as a part of an investment program approved by the City Council no less than three months prior to the investment.
Furthermore, in order to maintain liquidity, the weighted average time to maturity of the City’s investment portfolio shall not exceed three years. The Treasurer shall adjust average portfolio maturity to market conditions and specific investment goals/return objectives, as needed.
19.0 PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Following the primary objective of preservation of capital, the investment portfolio may be actively managed to take advantage of market opportunities. In doing so, negotiable securities may be sold prior to their maturity to provide liquid funds as needed for cash flow purposes, to enhance portfolio returns, or to restructure maturities to increase yield and/or decrease risk. In addition, fluctuations in market rates or changes in credit quality may produce situations where securities may be sold at a loss in order to mitigate further erosion of principal or to reinvest proceeds of sale in securities that will out-perform the original investment. In practice, however, it is primarily a hold to maturity portfolio.
20.0 USE OF EXTERNAL PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT MANAGERS
The City may employ the services of professional investment managers to assist in the management of the City's investment portfolio. Such managers may be granted the discretion to purchase and sell investment securities in accordance with this Investment Policy. In addition, such managers may review cash flow requirements, formulate investment strategies, and execute security purchases, sales and deliveries. External investment managers must be well established and exceptionally reputable. Members of the staffs of such companies who will have primary responsibility for managing the City’s investments must have a working familiarity with the special requirements and constraints of investing municipal funds in general and this City's funds in particular. Such managers shall only be retained by written agreement with the City, and approved by the City Council. They must contractually agree to conform to the City’s Investment Policy and all provisions of governing law and collateralization and other requirements contained herein.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
Investment Managers shall exercise reasonable care in compliance with this Investment Policy and their Investment Management Agreements. If an Investment Manager causes a loss of funds to the City where the Manager is held to be liable for the loss of funds, compensation due to the City from the Investment Manager for such loss of funds is defined in each investment management agreement.
21.0 INDEMNIFICATION OF CITY INVESTMENT OFFICIALS
The City Finance Director/Treasurer and any other City of Vallejo employee designated or assigned to perform the investment transactions and/or manage the City’s investment portfolio, acting within the intent and scope of the investment policy and other written procedures and exercising due diligence, will not be held personally liable for any individual investment losses or total portfolio losses and shall be relieved of personal responsibility and liability for any individual security's credit risk or market price changes. Such indemnity shall extend to judgments, fines, attorney fees, and any other amounts paid in settlement of any such claim, suit, or proceeding, including any appeal thereof.
22.0 ALLOCATION OF ANY INVESTMENT GAIN OR LOSS
Any gain or loss realized on any investments will be distributed on a pro rata basis to all nonrestricted funds which at the time of the investment gain or loss were part of the City’s portfolio, or using other such methods as directed by the City Finance Director/Treasurer, and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
23.0 POLICY EXCEPTIONS
Occasionally, exceptions to some of the requirements specified in this Investment Policy may occur for pooled investments because of events subsequent to the purchase of investment instruments, e.g., the rating of a corporate note held in the portfolio is downgraded below an "A" rating, or total assets in the portfolio decline causing the percentage invested in corporate notes to rise above 30%.
State law is silent as to how exceptions should be corrected. Exceptions may be temporary or more lasting; they may be self-correcting or require specific action. If specific action is required, the City Finance Director/Treasurer should determine the course of action that would correct exceptions to move the portfolio into compliance with State and City requirements. Decisions to correct exceptions should not expose the assets of the portfolio to undue risk, and should not impair the meeting of financial obligations as they fall due. Evaluation of divestiture of securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy.
24.0 USE OF STATE GUIDELINES
State of California Government Code Sections 16340, 16429.1, 53600, 53601, 53601.6, 53601.8, 53635, 53635.2, 53635.8, 53638, 53646, and 53684 regulate investment practices. It is the policy of the City of Vallejo to use the State's provisions for local government investments as a guide in
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
the developing and implementing the City's investment policies and practices with the exception of those investments listed as Prohibited Transactions in Section 15 above.
25.0 LEGISLATIVE CHANGES
Any State of California legislative action that further restricts allowable maturities, investment types or percentage allocations will be incorporated into the City of Vallejo Statement of Investment Policy and supersede any and all previous applicable language. If the City is holding an investment that is subsequently prohibited by a legislative change, the City may hold that investment until the maturity date, if it is deemed prudent by the Finance Director/Treasurer.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
ATTACHMENT A
SCHEDULE OF AUTHORIZED INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS
Allowable Investment Instruments
The City Finance Director/Treasurer is authorized to invest in any of the investment instruments allowed by Sections 16340, 16429.1, 53600, 53601, 53601.6, 53601.8, , 53635.2, 53635.8, 53638, and 53684 of the California Government Code with the exception of those investments listed as Prohibited Transactions in Section 16 above. Exclusion of the instruments in Section 16 (B) is consistent with the City's overall objective of achieving reasonable yields on public funds while minimizing risk and capital losses. Although the potential exists for greater interest yields with these instruments, it is believed that the potential level of risk exceeds their benefits except in very limited circumstances. Accordingly, City Council approval is required on a case-by-case basis for any investments listed in Prohibited Transactions Section 16 (B). Percentage holding limits listed in this section apply at the time the security is purchased.
Term
Reserve funds from the proceeds of debt issues of the City may be invested by the City Finance Director/ Treasurer in government agency securities with terms exceeding five (5) years if the maturity of such investments is made to coincide as nearly as practicable with the life of the debt issue.
In all other cases, City Council approval to make investments with terms in excess of five (5) years is required on a case-by-case basis.
Authorized Investments
The City’s funds may not be invested in those prohibited funds described in California Government Code 53601.6, but must only be invested in any of the following instruments as permitted by law (California Government Code Section 53601):
A. U.S. TREASURY BILLS. Commonly referred to as T-Bills, these are short-term marketable securities sold as obligations of the U.S. Government. They are offered in three-month, six-month, and one-year maturities. T-Bills do not accrue interest but are sold at a discount to pay face value at maturity. There are no limits on the dollar amount or percentage that the City may invest in U.S. Treasuries.
B. U.S. TREASURY NOTES. These are marketable, interest-bearing securities sold as obligations of the U.S. Government with original maturities of one to ten years at issuance.
Interest is paid semiannually. Purchases of these assets are limited to a remaining maturity of 5 years or less. There are no limits on the dollar amount or percentage that the City may invest in U.S. Treasuries.

Current policies of LAIF set minimum and maximum amounts of monies that may be invested as well as maximum numbers of transactions that are allowed per month. The City may invest up to the maximum amount permitted by LAIF. The LAIF is in trust in the custody of the State Treasurer. The City’s right to withdraw its deposited monies from LAIF is not contingent upon the State’s ability to adopt a State Budget by July 1st of each new fiscal year.

Investments in CD's in excess of $250,000 must be collateralized by Treasury Department Securities, which must be at least 110% of the face value of the CD's in excess of the first $250,000, or by first mortgage loans, which must be at least 150% of the face value of the CD balance in excess of the first $250,000.

ATTACHMENT B
GLOSSARY OF CASH MANAGEMENT TERMS
ACCRETION OF DISCOUNT - Periodic straight-line increases in the book or carrying value of a security so the amount of the purchase price discount below face value is completely eliminated by the time the bond matures or by the call date, if applicable.
ACCRUED INTEREST - Interest earned but not yet received. The interest accumulated on a bond since issue date or the last coupon payment. The buyer of the bond pays the market price and accrued interest, which is payable to the seller.
AGENCIES - A debt security issued by a federal or federally sponsored agency.
In the government securities industry, investors frequently refer to all debt instruments issued by U.S. government agencies, departments, and related instrumentalities as agency securities. Only those securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. Government are true agency securities. Only securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae or GNMA) are widely used by public investors as true agency securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government.
Generally, the underlying security associated with a U.S. agency is considered to be as risk-free as direct Treasury securities. The key difference in risk with these instruments is their liquidity and marketability, which is diminished as a result of smaller, irregular, and less familiar issues.
U.S. Government Instrumentalities, also known as government sponsored enterprises (GSEs), are financial intermediaries established by the federal government to fund loans to certain groups of borrowers, such as homeowners, farmers, and students. In short, GSEs are privately owned corporations with a public purpose. The most common instrumentalities are:
• Federal Farm Credit System Banks (FFCB),
• Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLB),
• Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac or FHLMC), • Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae or FNMA), • Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
GSEs sell securities on a regularly scheduled basis through selling groups, which are chosen groups of dealers that the GSE uses to "bring the paper to the streets." Short-term securities are regularly issued as discount notes with maturities ranging from overnight to 360 days. GSEs also issue securities with fixed interest rates, ranging in maturity from three months to 30 years.
AMORTIZATION OF PREMIUM - Periodic straight-line decreases in the book or carrying value of a security so the premium paid for a bond above its face value or call price is completely eliminated.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
ASK – The price at which securities are offered for sale.
ASSET BACKED SECURITIES (ABS) – Asset Backed Securities are pass-through instruments collateralized by installment loans, leases, revolving lines of credit or other consumer finance receivables. Securitizations are structured to separate the credit of the ABS issuer from the assets being securitized.
AVERAGE MATURITY - A weighted average of the expiration dates for a portfolio of debt securities.
An income fund's volatility can be managed by shortening or lengthening the average maturity of its portfolio.
BANK WIRE - A virtually instantaneous electronic transfer of funds between two financial institutions.
BANKERS ACCEPTANCES (BAs) - Bankers Acceptances generally are created based on a letter of credit issued in a foreign trade transaction. They are used to finance the shipment of commodities between countries as well as the shipment of some specific goods within the United States. BAs are short-term, non-interest bearing notes sold at a discount and redeemed by the accepting bank at maturity for full face value. These notes trade at a rate equal to or slightly higher than Certificates of Deposit (CDs), depending on market supply and demand.
Bankers Acceptances are sold in amounts that vary from $100,000 to $5,000,000, or more, with maturities ranging from 30 - 270 days. They offer liquidity to the investor as it is possible to sell BAs prior to maturity at the current market price.
BASIS POINT - A measure of an interest rate, i.e., 1/100 of 1 percent, or .0001.
BID - The indicated price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a security or commodity. When selling a security a bid is obtained.
BOND - A long-term debt security, or IOU, issued by a government or corporation that generally pays a stated rate of interest and returns the face value on the maturity date.
BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES - U.S. government and federal agency securities that do not exist in definitive (paper) form; they exist only in computerized files maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank.
BOOK VALUE - The amount at which an asset is carried on the books of the owner. The book value of an asset does not necessarily have a significant relationship to market value.
BROKER – A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission.
CALLABLE BOND - A bond issue in which all or part of its outstanding principal amount may be redeemed before maturity by the issuer under specified conditions. Bonds are generally called when interest rates fall so that the bond issuer can save money by floating new bonds at the lower rate. The first call date is the date which a specific call price will be offered by the issuer, usually a premium price to par, as an incentive to the bondholder to redeem the bond.
CALL PRICE - The price at which an issuer may redeem a bond prior to maturity. The price is usually at a slight premium to the bond's original issue price to compensate the holder for loss of income and ownership.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
CALL RISK - The risk to a bondholder that a bond may be redeemed prior to maturity.
CASH SALE\PURCHASE - A transaction which calls for delivery and payment of securities on the same day that the transaction is initiated.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT - Certificates of Deposit, familiarly known as CDs, are certificates issued against funds deposited in a bank for a definite period of time and earning a specified rate of return.
Certificates of Deposit bear rates of interest in line with money market rates current at the time of issuance.
COLLATERALIZATION - Process by which a borrower pledges securities, property, or other deposits for the purpose of securing the repayment of a loan and/or security.
COMMERCIAL PAPER - Commercial paper is an unsecured promissory note issued by a corporation for a specific amount and maturing on a specific day that cannot be farther into the future than 270 days. Commercial Paper is typically rated by credit agencies that attempt to evaluate the liquidity, cash flow, profitability, and backup credit availability of the entity that is issuing the paper.
COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS - A process by which three or more institutions are contacted via the telephone to obtain interest rates for specific securities.
CONVEXITY - A measure of a bond's price sensitivity to changing interest rates. A high convexity indicates greater sensitivity of a bond's price to interest rate changes.
CORPORATE NOTES – A debt security issued by a corporation and sold to investors. The bond is usually a “general obligation” of the company. In some cases, the company's physical assets may be used as collateral for bonds, or certain bonds may be “subordinated” to others that the Company issues.
Subordinated notes and/or bonds are not permitted.
COUPON RATE - The annual rate of interest received by an investor from the issuer of certain types of fixed-income securities. Also known as the "interest rate." CREDIT QUALITY - The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement helps an investor to understand an issuer’s ability to make timely interest payments and repay the loan principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by nationally recognized rating agencies.
CREDIT RATINGS: An investment rating given to a debt instrument that indicates its credit worthiness.
Private independent rating services such as Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch provide these evaluations of the issuer's financial strength, or its ability to pay principal and interest in a timely fashion.
High graded credit ratings are as follows:

CREDIT RISK - The risk that another party to an investment transaction will not fulfill its obligations.
Credit risk can be associated with the issuer of a security, a financial institution holding the entity's deposit, or a third party holding securities or collateral. Credit risk exposure can be affected by a concentration of deposits or investments in any one investment type or with any one party.
CUSIP NUMBER - A nine-digit number established by the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures that is used to identify publicly traded securities. Each publicly traded security receives a unique CUSIP number when the security is issued.
CURRENT YIELD - A yield calculation determined by dividing the annual interest received on a security by the current market price of that security.
CUSTODIAN - An independent third party (usually bank or trust company) that holds securities in safekeeping as an agent for the city.
DEBENTURE – A bond secured only by the general credit of the issuer.
DEFEASE - To discharge the lien of an ordinance, resolution, or indenture relating to a bond issue, and in the process, render inoperative restrictions under which the issuer has been obliged to operate.
Comment: Ordinarily an issuer may defease an indenture requirement by depositing with a trustee an amount sufficient to fully pay all amounts under a bond contract as they become due.
DELIVERY - The providing of a security in an acceptable form to the City or to an agent acting on behalf of the City and independent of the seller. Acceptable forms can be physical securities or the transfer of book entry securities. The important distinction is that the transfer accomplishes absolute ownership control by the City.
DELIVERY VS PAYMENT - There are two methods of delivery of securities: Delivery vs. payment and delivery vs. receipt (also called free). Delivery vs. payment is delivery of securities with an exchange of
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
money for the securities. Delivery vs. receipt is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed receipt for the securities.
DEPOSITORY BANK - A local bank used as the point of deposit for cash receipts.
DEPOSITORY INSURANCE - Insurance on deposits with financial institutions. For purposes of this policy statement, depository insurance includes: a) Federal depository insurance funds, such as those maintained by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
DERIVATIVE SECURITY - Financial instrument created from, or whose value depends upon, one or more underlying assets or indexes of asset values.
DISCOUNT - 1. (n.) selling below par; e.g., a $1,000 bond selling for $900. 2. (v.) anticipating the effects of news on a security's value; e.g., "The market had already discounted the effect of the labor strike by bidding the company's stock down."
DISCOUNT SECURITIES – Non-interest bearing money market instruments that are issued at a discount and redeemed at maturity for full face value, e.g., U.S. Treasury Bills.
DIVERSIFICATION - Dividing available funds among a variety of securities and institutions so as to minimize market risk.
DOLLAR-WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY - The sum of the amount of each outstanding investment multiplied by the number of days to maturity, divided by the total amount of outstanding investment.
EFFECTIVE RATE - The yield you would receive on a debt security over a period of time taking into account any compounding effect.
FACE VALUE - The value of a bond stated on the bond certificate; thus, the redemption value at maturity. Most bonds have a face value, or par, of $1,000.
FAIR VALUE - The amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
FEDERAL AGENCY SECURITIES - Several government-sponsored agencies, in recent years, have issued short and long-term notes. Such notes typically are issued through dealers, mostly investment banking houses. These Federal government-sponsored agencies were established by the U.S.
Congress to undertake various types of financing without tapping the public treasury. In order to do so, the agencies have been given the power to borrow money by issuing securities, generally under the authority of an act of Congress. These securities are highly acceptable and marketable for several reasons, mainly because they are exempt from state, municipal and local income taxes. Furthermore, agency securities must offer a higher yield than direct Treasury debt of the same maturity to find investors, partly because these securities are not direct obligations of the Treasury.
The main agency borrowing institutions are the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), the Federal Home Loan Bank System (FHLB), and the Federal Farm Credit System (FFCS).
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
FLOATING-RATE NOTES - The term floating-rate notes includes different types of securities with a similar feature that the interest rate or coupon rate is adjusted periodically to a benchmark or base rate.
A simple example of a floating-rate instrument is a Series EE savings bond where the semiannual interest rate is determined in May and November based on 85 percent of the average market return of the five-year Treasury note for the preceding six months. In theory, floating-rate notes are securities with coupons based on a short-term rate index.
FNMA - FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION - issues notes tailored to the maturity needs of the investor. Maturities range from 30 days up to 10 years. These notes are made attractive by their denominations from $5,000 to $1 million.
FHLB - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM - consists of twelve Federal Home Loan Banks, issues, in addition to long-term bonds, coupon notes with maturities of up to one year. Their attractiveness stems from their investment denominations of $10,000 to $1 million.
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION (FDIC) - A Federal institution that insures bank deposits.
FEDERAL FUNDS (Fed Funds) - Funds placed in Federal Reserve banks by depository institutions in excess of current reserve requirements. These depository institutions may lend fed funds to each other overnight or on a longer basis. They may also transfer funds among each other on a same-day basis through the Federal Reserve banking system. Fed funds are considered to be immediately available funds.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE - The rate of interest at which Fed Funds are traded between banks. Fed Funds are excess reserves held by banks that desire to invest or lend them to banks needing reserves.
The particular rate is heavily influenced through the open market operations of the Federal Reserve Board. Also referred to as the "Fed Funds rate."
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANKS (FHLB) - The institutions that regulate and lend to savings and loan associations. These are Government sponsored wholesale banks which lend funds and provide correspondent banking services to member commercial banks, thrift institutions, credit unions and insurance companies. The mission of the FHLB’s is to liquefy the housing related assets of its members who must purchase stock in their district bank.
FEDERAL NATIONAL MORTGAGE ASSOCIATION (FNMA) - FNMA, like GNMA, was chartered under the Federal National Mortgage Association Act in 1938. FNMA is a Federal corporation working under the auspices of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD. It is the largest single provider of residential mortgage funds in the United States. Fannie Mae, as the corporation is called, is a private stockholder-owned corporation. The corporation's purchases include a variety of adjustable mortgages and second loans, in addition to fixed-rate mortgages. FNMA's securities are also highly liquid and are widely accepted. FNMA assumes and guarantees that all security holders will receive timely payment of principal and interest.
FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC) – Consists of seven members of the Federal Reserve Board and five of the twelve Federal reserve Bank Presidents. The President of the New York Federal Reserve Bank is a permanent member, while the other Presidents serve on a rotating basis.
The Committee periodically meets to set Federal Reserve guidelines regarding purchases and sales of
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
Government Securities in the open market as a means of influencing the volume of bank credit and money.
FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM - The central bank of the United States which has regulated credit in the economy since its inception in 1913. Includes the Federal Reserve Bank, 12 district banks and the member banks of the Federal Reserve, and is governed by the Federal Board.
FLEXIBLE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS (Flex Repos) - Similar to a term repurchase agreement, a flex repo is a contractual transfer of U.S. government securities during the investment period, whereby the Seller agrees to repurchase the collateral securities from the Buyer on the Buyer's demand, subject to provisions of the agreement. The Seller is generally a financial institution such as a securities dealer or a bank. As buyers, most issuers require over-collateralization, marking-to-market of collateral and delivery-vs.-payment of collateral.
GINNIE MAES (GNMAs) - Mortgage securities issued and guarantied, as to timely interest and principal payments, by the Government National Mortgage Association, an agency within the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
GOVERNMENT SECURITY - Any debt obligation issued by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Certain securities, such as Treasury bonds and Ginnie Maes, are backed by the government as to both principal and interest payments. Other securities, such as those issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, are backed by the issuing agency.
GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED ENTERPRISES (GSE’s) - Payment of principal and interest on securities issued by these corporations is not guaranteed explicitly by the U.S. government, however, most investors consider these securities to carry an implicit U.S. government guarantee. The debt is fully guaranteed by the issuing corporations. GSE’s include: Farm Credit System, Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal National Mortgage Association, and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
HAIRCUT - This term describes the way brokers and clients protect themselves from market risk in doing repos. An entity wanting to finance the purchase of $100 million in Treasury bonds may borrow just $98 million of the money. The two percent difference between the amount of securities purchased and the amount of money borrowed is the haircut. Similarly, an entity looking to borrow $100 million may need to provide, as collateral, Treasury securities with a market price equal to $102 million.
INTERNAL CONTROLS - An internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the entity are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that 1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and 2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. Internal controls should address the following points:
1. Control of collusion - Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in conjunction to defraud their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping - By separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
3. Custodial safekeeping - Securities purchased from any bank or dealer including appropriate collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third party for custodial safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities - Book-entry securities are much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. Delivered securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities.
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members - Subordinate staff members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions.
Clear delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is contingent on the various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers - Due to the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic transactions, all transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by the appropriate person. Written communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the safekeeping institution has a list of authorized signatures.
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian - The designated official should ensure that an agreement will be entered into and will address the following points: controls, security provisions, and responsibilities of each party making and receiving wire transfers.
INVERSE FLOATER - A bond or note that does not earn a fixed rate of interest. Rather, the interest rate that is earned is tied to a specific interest-rate index identified in the bond/note structure. The interest rate earned by the bond/note will move in the opposite direction of the index, e.g., if market interest rates as measured by the selected index rises, the interest rate earned by the bond/note will decline. An inverse floater increases the market rate risk and modified duration of the investment.
INVERTED YIELD CURVE - A chart formation that illustrates long-term securities having lower yields than short-term securities. This configuration usually occurs during periods of high inflation coupled with low levels of confidence in the economy and a restrictive monetary policy.
INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940- Federal legislation which sets the standards by which investment companies, such as mutual funds, are regulated in the areas of advertising, promotion, performance reporting requirements, and securities valuations.
INVESTMENT POLICY - A concise and clear statement of the objectives and parameters formulated by an investor or investment manager for a portfolio of investment securities.
INVESTMENT-GRADE OBLIGATIONS - An investment instrument suitable for purchase by institutional investors under the prudent person rule. Investment-grade is restricted to those obligations rated BBB or higher by a rating agency.
LIQUIDATION - Conversion into cash.
LIQUIDITY - Refers to the ease and speed with which an asset can be converted into cash without a substantial loss in value. In the money market, a security is said to be liquid if the spread between bid and asked prices is narrow and reasonable size can be done at those quotes.
LOSS - The excess of the cost or book value of an asset over selling price.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT POOL (LGIP) - The aggregate of all funds from political subdivisions that are placed in the custody of the Treasurer for investment and reinvestment.
LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS - Investments considered long-term are generally defined as those instruments maturing in one year or longer.
MARK-TO-MARKET - The practice of valuing a security or portfolio according to its market value, rather than its cost or book value. An adjustment in the valuation of a securities portfolio to reflect the current market values of the respective securities in the portfolio.
MARKETABILITY - Ability to sell large blocks of money market instruments quickly and at competitive prices.
MARKET VALUE - The price at which a security is trading and could presumably be sold.
MARKET RISK - The risk associated with declines or rises in interest rates which cause an investment in a fixed-income security to increase or decrease in value. The risk that the market value of an investment, collateral protecting a deposit, or securities underlying a repurchase agreement will decline.
MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT - An agreement between the investor and the dealer or financial institute. This agreement defines the nature of the transactions, identifies the relationship between the parties, establishes normal practices regarding ownership and custody of the collateral securities during the term of the investment, provides for remedies in the event of a default by either party and otherwise clarifies issues of ownership.
MATURITY - The date upon which the principal or stated value of an investment becomes due.
MONEY MARKET – The market in which short-term debt instruments (bills, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, etc.) are issued and traded.
MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES - Mortgage-backed securities have several unique characteristics, beginning with the payment of interest on a monthly basis. Mortgage Backed Securities also differ from standard Treasury investments in that the cash flow pattern is uncertain due to the risk of prepayments or the unscheduled payment of principal. Moreover, a change in the future assumption for prepayments will also affect the rate of return on the investment of a mortgage-backed security.
Mortgage-backed securities are created when mortgage pools are collateralized into interest-bearing securities. This securitization process can be accomplished via either a sale of assets or as a debt obligation of the issuer. In the former, a mortgage pass-through security is created, while in the latter case a mortgage-backed bond is originated.
MUNICIPAL SECURITIES – Securities issued by state and local agencies to finance capital and operating expenses.
MUTUAL FUND - An investment company that pools money and can invest in a variety of securities, including fixed-income securities and money market instruments. Mutual funds are regulated by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and must abide by the following Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosure guidelines:
1. Report standardized performance calculations.

2. Disseminate timely and accurate information regarding the fund's holdings, performance, management and general investment policy.
3. Have the fund's investment policies and activities supervised by a board of trustees, which are independent of the adviser, administrator or other vendor of the fund.
4. Maintain the daily liquidity of the fund's shares.
5. Value their portfolios on a daily basis.
6. Have all individuals who sell SEC-registered products licensed with a self-regulating organization (SRO) such as the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD).

MUTUAL FUND STATISTICAL SERVICES - Companies that track and rate mutual funds, e.g., IBC/Donoghue, Lipper Analytical Services, and Morningstar.
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES DEALERS (NASD) - A self-regulatory organization (SRO) of brokers and dealers in the over-the-counter securities business. Its regulatory mandate includes authority over firms that distribute mutual fund shares as well as other securities.
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED STATISTICAL RATINGS ORGANIZATION. The formal term to describe credit rating agencies that provide credit ratings that are used by the U.S. government in several regulatory areas. Ratings provided by Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations (NRSRO) are used frequently by investors and are used as benchmarks by federal and state agencies.
Generally, to be considered an NRSRO, the agency has to be "nationally recognized" in the U.S. and provide reliable and credible ratings. Also taken into consideration is the size of the credit rating agency, operational capability and its credit rating process.
NEGOTIABLE CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT - Large denomination ($100,000 or more) interest bearing time deposits, paying the holder a fixed amount of interest at maturity. Issues can be sold to a new owner before maturity.
NET ASSET VALUE - The market value of one share of an investment company, such as a mutual fund. This figure is calculated by totaling a fund's assets which includes securities, cash, and any accrued earnings, subtracting this from the fund's liabilities and dividing this total by the number of shares outstanding. This is calculated once a day based on the closing price for each security in the fund's portfolio. [(Total assets) - (Liabilities)]/(Number of shares outstanding) NO LOAD FUND - A mutual fund which does not levy a sales charge on the purchase of its shares.
NOMINAL YIELD - The stated rate of interest that a bond pays its current owner, based on par value of the security. It is also known as the "coupon," "coupon rate," or "interest rate." OFFER - The indicated price at which a seller is willing to sell a security or commodity. When buying a security an offer is obtained.
OPEN MARKET OPERATIONS – Purchases and sales of government and certain other securities in the open market by the New York Federal Reserve Bank as directed by the FOMC in order to influence the volume of money and credit in the economy. Purchases inject reserves into the bank system and stimulate growth of money and credit; sales have the opposite effect. Open market operations are the Federal Reserve’s most important and most flexible monetary policy tool.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
PAR VALUE - The nominal or face value of a debt security; that is, the value at maturity.
PORTFOLIO – Collection of securities held by an investor.

PRIME RATE - The interest rate a bank charges on loans to its most credit worthy customers.
Frequently cited as a standard for general interest rate levels in the economy.
PRINCIPAL - An invested amount on which interest is charged or earned.
PRUDENT PERSON RULE – An investment standard. In some states the law requires that a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in a list of securities selected by the custody state – the socalled legal list. In other states the trustee may invest in a security if it is one which would be bought by a prudent person of discretion and intelligence who is seeking a reasonable income and preservation of capital.
QUALIFIED PUBLIC DEPOSITORY - A financial institution which does not claim exemption from the payment of any sales or compensating use or ad valorem taxes under the laws of this state, which has segregated, for the benefit of the commission, eligible collateral having a value of not less than its maximum liability and which has been approved by the Public Deposit Protection Commission to hold public deposits.
RANGE NOTE - An investment whose coupon payment varies (e.g. either 7% or 3%) and is dependent on whether the current benchmark (e.g. 30 year Treasury) falls within a pre-determined range (e.g. between 6.75% and 7.25%).
RATE OF RETURN - The amount of income received from an investment, expressed as a percentage.
A market rate of return is the yield that an investor can expect to receive in the current interest-rate environment utilizing a buy-and-hold to maturity investment strategy.
REGISTERED SECURITY - A security that has the name of the owner written on its face. A registered security cannot be negotiated except by the endorsement of the owner.
REINVESTMENT RISK - The risk that a fixed-income investor will be unable to reinvest income proceeds from a security holding at the same rate of return currently generated by that holding.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (REPO) - The Repo is a contractual transaction between an investor and an issuing financial institution (not a secured loan). The investor exchanges cash for temporary ownership of specific securities, with an agreement between the parties that on a future date, the
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
financial institution will repurchase the securities at a prearranged price. An "Open Repo" does not have a specified repurchase date and the repurchase price is established by a formula computation.
REPRICING - The revaluation of the market value of securities.
REVERSE REPO’s - The opposite of the transaction undertaken through a regular repurchase agreement. In a "reverse" the City initially owns securities and the bank or dealer temporarily exchanges cash for this collateral. This is, in effect, temporarily borrowing cash at a high interest rate. Most typically, a Repo is initiated by the lender of funds. Reverses are used by dealers to borrow securities they have shorted. Such investments are not authorized in the City of Vallejo’s Investment Policy.
RULE 2a-7 OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT - Applies to all money market mutual funds and mandates such funds to maintain certain standards, including a 13- month maturity limit and a 90-day average maturity on investments, to help maintain a constant net asset value of one dollar ($1.00).
SAFEKEEPING - A service to customers rendered by banks for a fee whereby all securities and valuables of all types and descriptions are held in the bank's vaults for protection, or in the case of book entry securities, are held and recorded in the customer's name and are inaccessible to anyone else.
SECONDARY MARKET – A market made for the purchase and sale of outstanding issues following the initial distribution.
SECURITIES - Bonds, notes, mortgages, or other forms of negotiable or non-negotiable instruments.
SECURITIES & EXCHANGE COMMISSION – Agency created by Congress to protect investors in securities transactions by administering securities legislation.
SERIAL BOND - A bond issue, usually of a municipality, with various maturity dates scheduled at regular intervals until the entire issue is retired.
SETTLEMENT DATES - The day on which payment is due for a securities purchase. For stocks and mutual funds bought through an investment dealer, settlement is normally five business days after the trade date. Bonds and options normally settle one business day after the trade date, mutual fund shares purchased directly by mail or wire settle on the day payment is received.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - Short-term investments are generally defined as those instruments maturing in one year or less.
SINKING FUND - Money accumulated on a regular basis in a separate custodial account that is used to redeem debt securities or preferred stock issues.
SPREAD - (a) Difference between the best buying price and the best selling price for any given security. (b) Difference between yields on or prices of two securities of differing quality or differing maturities. (c) In underwriting, difference between price realized by the issuer and price paid by the investor.
STRIPS - Separation of the principal and interest cash flows due from any interest-bearing securities into different financial instruments. Each coupon payment is separated from the underlying investment to create a separate security. Each individual cash flow is sold at a discount. The amount of the discount and the time until the cash flow is paid determine the investor’s return.
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
STRIPPED TREASURIES - U.S. Treasury debt obligations in which coupons are removed by brokerage houses, creating zero-coupon bonds.
STRUCTURED NOTES – A complex, fixed income instrument, which pays interest, based on a formula tied to other interest rates, commodities or indices. Examples include inverse floating rate notes that have coupons that increase when other interest rates are falling, and which fall when other interest rates are rising, and "dual index floaters," which pay interest based on the relationship between two other interest rates - for example, the yield on the ten-year Treasury note minus the Libor rate. Issuers of such notes lock in a reduced cost of borrowing by purchasing interest rate swap agreements.
Notes issued by government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) such as FHLB, FNMA, and Corporations which have imbedded options (e.g., call features, step-up coupons, floating rate coupons, derivativebased returns) into their debt structure. Their market performance is impacted by the fluctuation of interest rates, the volatility of the imbedded options and shifts in the shape of the yield curve.
SUPRANATIONAL. A Supranational is a multi-national organization whereby member states transcend national boundaries or interests to share in the decision making to promote economic development in the member countries.
TERM BOND - Bonds comprising a large part or all of a particular issue which come due in a single maturity. The issuer usually agrees to make periodic payments into a sinking fund for mandatory redemption of term bonds before maturity.
TOTAL RETURN - The sum of all investment income plus changes in the capital value of the portfolio.
For mutual funds, return on an investment is composed of share price appreciation plus any realized dividends or capital gains. This is calculated by taking the following components during a certain time period. (Price Appreciation) + (Dividends and Interest received) + (Capital gains) = Total Return TRIPARTITE CUSTODIAN AGREEMENT - An agreement that occurs when a third party or custodian becomes a direct participant in a repurchase transaction. The custodian ensures that the exchange occurs simultaneously and that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the investor’s interest in the underlying collateral.
THIRD-PARTY SAFEKEEPING - A safekeeping arrangement whereby the investor has full control over the securities being held and the dealer or bank investment department has no access to the securities being held.
TIME DEPOSIT - Interest-bearing deposit at a savings institution that has a specific maturity.
TREASURY BILLS - Treasury bills are short-term debt obligations of the U.S. Government. They offer maximum safety of principal since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. Treasury bills, commonly called "T-Bills," account for the bulk of government financing, and are the major vehicle used by the Federal Reserve System in the money market to implement national monetary policy. T-Bills are sold in three, six, nine, and twelve-month bills. Because treasury bills are considered "risk-free," these instruments generally yield the lowest returns in the major money market instruments.
TREASURY NOTES AND BONDS - While T-Bills are sold at a discount rate that establishes the yield to maturity, all other marketable treasury obligations are coupon issued. These include Treasury Notes
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
with maturities from one to ten years and Treasury Bonds with maturities of 10-30 years. The instruments are typically held by banks and savings and loan associations. Since Bills, Notes and Bonds are general obligations of the U.S. Government, and since the Federal Government has the lowest credit risk of all participants in the money market, its obligations generally offer a lower yield to the investor than do other securities of comparable maturities.
UNDERLYING SECURITIES - Securities transferred in accordance with a repurchase agreement.
UNIFORM NET CAPITAL RULE – Securities and Exchange Commission requirement that member firms as well as nonmember broker-dealers in securities maintain a maximum ratio of indebtedness to liquid capital of 15 to 1; also called net capital rule and net capital ratio. Indebtedness covers all money owed to a firm, including margin loans and commitments to purchase securities, one reason new public issues are spread among members of underwriting syndicates. Liquid capital includes cash and assets easily converted into cash.
VARIABLE RATE - An interest rate which is adjusted periodically, usually based on a standard market rate outside the control of the bank or savings institution, such as that prevailing on a Treasury bill or the prime interest rate. These rates often have a specified floor and/or ceiling, called a cap or a collar, which limit the adjustment. Also called adjustable rate or floating rate.
WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY - The sum of the amount of each outstanding investment multiplied by the number of days to maturity, divided by the total amount of outstanding investment.
WHEN-ISSUED TRADES - Typically, there is a lag between the time a new bond is announced and sold and the time it is actually issued. During this interval, the security trades "WI," "when, as, and if issued."
WI - When, as, and if issued. See When-issued trades.
YIELD - The rate at which an investment pays out interest or dividend income, expressed in percentage terms and calculated by dividing the amount paid by the price of the security and annualizing the result.
YIELD BASIS - Stated in terms of yield as opposed to price. As yield increases for a traded issue, price decreases and vice versa. Charts prepared on a yield basis appear exactly opposite of those prepared on a price basis.
YIELD CURVE - A graphic representation that depicts the relationship at a given point in time between yields and maturity for bonds that are identical in every way except maturity. A normal yield curve may be alternatively referred to as a positive yield curve.
YIELD SPREAD - The variation between yields on different types of debt securities; generally a function of supply and demand, credit quality and expected interest rate fluctuations. Treasury bonds, for example, because they are so safe, will normally yield less than corporate bonds. Yields may also differ on similar securities with different maturities. Long-term debt, for example, carries more risk of market changes and issuer defaults than short-term debt and thus usually yields more.
YIELD-TO-CALL (YTC) - The rate of return an investor earns from a bond assuming the bond is redeemed (called) prior to its nominal maturity date. It is the percentage rate of a bond or note, if an investor were to buy and hold the security until the call date. This yield is valid only if the security is
City of Vallejo Investment Policy – Considered by the City Council on June 9, 2026
called prior to maturity. Generally bonds are callable over several years and normally are called at a slight premium. The calculation of yield to call is based on the coupon rate, length of time to the call and the market price.
YIELD-TO-MATURITY (YTM) - The rate of return yielded by a debt security held to maturity when both interest payments and the investor's potential capital gain or loss are included in the calculation of return. The calculation for YTM is based on the coupon rate, length of time to maturity and market price.
It assumes that coupon interest paid over the life of the bond will be reinvested at the same rate.
ZERO-COUPON BONDS - Securities that do not pay interest but are instead sold at a deep discount from face value. They rise in price as the maturity date nears and are redeemed at face value upon maturity.

DATE: June 9, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Nalungo Conley, Assistant City Manager/Acting Finance Director SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 CITY OF
VALLEJO GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution establishing the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027 Appropriations Limit at $201,313,832 for the City of Vallejo.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Article XIIIB of the California Constitution requires that the City compute an annual appropriations limit. This limit sets the maximum amount of appropriations that can be made from tax receipts.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Article XIIIB of the California State Constitution, adopted as Proposition 4 (the Gann Initiative) by the voters of California in 1979, and later amended by Proposition 111, prohibits annual appropriations from exceeding an “Appropriations Limit.” The Appropriations Limit is calculated by adjusting the 1986-87 base year appropriations by annual changes in population and a cost-of-living index. For FY 2026-2027, appropriations that are subject to the Appropriations Limit cannot exceed the Appropriations Limit.
The Appropriations Limit for FY 2026-2027 is $201,313,832. This was determined by applying the percentage increase in California per capita income of 4.95% and the change in county population decrease of 0.37% to the FY 2025-2026 Appropriations Limit of $192,525,069.
Article XIIIB requires that appropriations that are subject to the Appropriations Limit must not exceed $201,313,832. Based upon definitions contained in Article XIIIB, City of Vallejo appropriations that are subject to the limit for FY 2026-2027 are estimated to be $125,376,641. Therefore, the appropriations that are subject to the Appropriations Limit will not exceed the Appropriations Limit.
SB 1352 of 1980, which implemented the Gann Initiative, requires each local government to establish its appropriations limit by resolution each year at a regularly scheduled or noticed special meeting.
The annual adjustment made to the Appropriations Limit is based on a formula which adds the two following factors:
1. The City selection of 1) the change in City population or 2) the change in population for the entire County, and
2. Change in State per capita income or change in non-residential assessed valuation.
Date: June 9, 2026
Subject: ADOPT A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE FISCAL YEAR 2026-2027 CITY OF
VALLEJO GANN APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT
An agency is allowed to select the population growth factor and financial factor that provides for the largest growth in the limit. For the calculation of the FY 2026-2027 Appropriations Limit, staff recommends the City use the change in State per capita income and the change in County population as they provide the greatest limit.
Not all revenues are restricted by the Appropriations Limit, only those which are referred to as "proceeds of taxes." The attachments provide a description of the “proceeds of taxes.” The following is a list of factors used in the calculation:
Solano County Population in January 2025 438,682
Solano County Population in January 2026 440,799
Percentage Change in Solano County Population -0.37%
California Per Capita Personal Income Increase 4.95%
The FY 2026-2027 appropriation limit is calculated on the basis of FY 2025-2026 appropriations limit and applying change factor below:
Factor to be applied to Prior Year 1.04564997
(Population Factor x Per Capita Factor)
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with the approval of this Resolution.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

DATE: June 9, 2026
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Beth Schoenberger, Water Director
SUBJECT: ADOPT A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VALLEJO
APPROVING SEVEN PURCHASE AGREEMENTS WITH SEVEN SEPARATE VENDORS TO SUPPLY WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS FOR A CUMULATIVE TOTAL NOT-TOEXCEED AMOUNT AMONG ALL VENDORS OF $2,789,859 AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE SAME
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution of the City Council of the City of Vallejo approving seven purchase agreements with seven separate vendors to supply water treatment chemicals for a cumulative total not-to-exceed amount among all vendors of a of $2,789,859 and authorizing the City Manager to execute the same.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
The treatment of source water to meet required compliance standards for drinking-water requires the use of multiple chemicals in the City’s three water treatment plants. The Water Department must make significant operational purchases of these chemicals during the fiscal year. The City's participation in the North Bay Agency Chemical Pool (NBACP) has provided volume pricing for all standard water-treatment chemicals. (Chemicals identified as specialty chemicals unique to a participating agency’s treatment process are excluded.) In the event of unforeseen emergency impacts, the City Manager's Council-approved contract negotiation authority will be utilized to avoid interruption in the supply of chemicals.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Since 1995, the City of Vallejo has participated in the North Bay Agency Chemical Pool (NBACP) for the procurement of water treatment chemical supplies. The Vallejo Municipal Code section 3.20.080c authorizes purchases of supplies through contracts from other public agencies and cooperative purchasing agreements where it is advantageous to the City. Participation in the NBACP allows the City and participating agencies to purchase chemicals through a formal bid process that facilitates competitive high-volume pricing (at higher supply volume with competitive results) that is lower than what the City and participants could obtain in individual procurement processes. For fiscal year (FY) 2026-27, in addition to the City of Vallejo, the following agencies are NBACP participants: Cities of American Canyon, Benicia, Calistoga, Davis, Fairfield, Napa, Petaluma, Saint Helena, Vallejo, Vacaville, West Sacramento, the township of Yountville, the Solano Irrigation District, and the Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District. Every two years, responsibility for coordination of NBACP bids rotates to a different participating agency. The Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District coordinated the bids for this fiscal year.
NBACP opened Bids on April 15, 2026, and the following bids for the supply of chemicals for water treatment were received and awarded:

Specialty Chemicals:
In addition to the NBACP process, the City purchases specialty chemicals that are available from limited sources and for which there is no adequate substitute, as provided in Section 3.20.060(A)(2) - Competitive Purchasing Section – Exemptions. As such, the City has existing contracts for the supply of the following chemicals for water treatment for fiscal year (FY) 2026-27. The proposed contracts will permit the purchasing of these specialty chemicals through June 30, 2027 (all chemical agreements have an option to extend through September 30, 2027, pending negotiation and Council action), to allow for continuous water treatment operations.

FISCAL IMPACT
The North Bay Agency Chemical Pool’s Chemical Supply bids use anticipated quantities to obtain unit prices.
The City’s actual chemical quantity needs are dependent on the dosages required to treat seasonally variant source water quality in compliance with State and Federal Environmental Protection Agency requirements.
Pricing and supply chain availability has been impacted by increasing inflation and Federally mandated tariffs; accordingly, the chemical agreements' not-to-exceed amounts have been increased in anticipation of these fluctuations, as well as to cover taxes and fuel surcharges. The Water Department Enterprise Budget is sufficient to cover the projected costs of treatment chemical supplies for the fiscal year.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15378.

Bidder shall furnish the Agencies with endorsements effecting coverage required by this clause.
The endorsements are to be signed by a person authorized by that insurer to bind coverage on its behalf. All endorsements are to be received and approved by each individual Agency before work commences.
INDEMNIFICATION
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the successful Bidder shall, at its own expense, indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to each North Bay Agency Chemical Pool participating Agency listed on the Standard Agreement for chemical requirements, (which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld), and hold harmless each such participating Agency and its officers, officials, employees, agents and volunteers ("Indemnities") from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, claims, suits, actions, arbitration proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory proceedings, civil penalties and fines, expenses and costs (including, without limitation, claims expenses, attorney's fees and costs and fees of litigation) (collectively, "Liability") of every nature, whether actual, alleged or threatened, arising out of or in connection with the furnishing of chemicals by the successful Bidder pursuant to the Standard Agreement or the successful Bidder’s failure to comply with any of the terms of the Standard Agreement, regardless of any fault or alleged fault of the Indemnitees.
The successful Bidder’s obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless under this provision shall not be excused because of the successful Bidder’s inability to evaluate Liability, or because the successful Bidder evaluates Liability and determines that the successful Bidder is not or may not be liable. The successful Bidder must respond within 30 calendar days to any tender for defense and indemnity by any participating Agency, unless the time for responding has been extended by an authorized representative of the participating Agency in writing. If the successful Bidder fails to accept tender of defense and indemnity within 30 calendar days, in addition to any other remedies authorized by law, so much of the money due or that may become due the successful Bidder under the Standard Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the participating Agency may be retained by the participating Agency until disposition has been made of the matter subject to tender, or until the successful Bidder accepts the tender, whichever occurs first.
The successful Bidder waives any and all rights to express or implied indemnity against the Indemnitees concerning any Liability of the successful Bidder arising out of or in connection with the furnishing of chemicals by the successful Bidder pursuant to the Standard Agreement or the successful Bidder’s failure to comply with any of the terms of the Standard Agreement.
