Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a Resolution Approving the Annual Statement of Investment Policy; and

2) Find that this action is not a project as defined under the California Environmental Quality Act State Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to State Guidelines Section 15378, no environmental review is required.

Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity which does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Background:

Government Code Section 53646(a) requires that the Chief Financial Officer or City Treasurer must present a Statement of investment policy annually to the governing body or an investment committee. All funds will be invested in accordance with the City’s Investment Policy and California Government Codes, which regulate municipal governments. An investment policy should identify the parameters of the investment function, with the primary objectives being safety, liquidity, and yield, in that order.

1. Safety – the safety of the principal is the foremost objective of the investment program;

2. Liquidity – the investment portfolio will remain liquid to enable the City to meet cash flow needs;

3. Yield – the portfolio shall be designed with the objective of making a rate of return consistent with the safety and liquidity objectives. The ultimate goal is to maximize the return on investment income and simultaneously ensure the safety of the funds being invested.

The city's present policy, which includes a section on periodic reporting of portfolio performance, satisfactorily meets the three features above (safety, liquidity, and yield).

Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to this action.

DATE: June 18, 2024

SUBJECT: Adopt a Resolution approving the Annual Transportation Development Act Streets and Roads report and claim for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 and Authorize Submission to the Kern Council of Governments.
______________________________________________________________________________ Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the City Council:
1) Adopt a resolution approving the Annual Transportation Development Act Public Streets and Roads report and claim for Fi scal Year 2022- 2023 and Authorize Submission to the Kern Council of Governments; and,

Environmental Review:

The staff has reviewed the proposed activity to ensure compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It has been determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA guidelines because the proposed activity consists of a governmental fiscal/administrative activity that does not result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is required.

Discussion:

The Transportation Development Act (TDA) is administered by the Kern Council of Governments and is a source of funding for the City’s Streets and Roads. The City’s report and claim for 2022-2023 requests $406,411 as reimbursement for funds spent during the fiscal year 2022-2023.
