Treasurer's Commentary
For the Month of May
Cash Balances — The portfolio size increased by $27.45 million to $208.46 million. The major
reason for the increase was the receipt of the 2nd County of Riverside May property tax
installment of $26.9 million.
Investment Activity — The average maturity of the portfolio decreased by 19 days to 63 days
at the end of May. The six month US Treasury benchmark increased by 22 basis points and
ended the month at 1.92%. The Treasurer follows a buy and hold investment policy and has
not sold investments before maturity to take advantage of market conditions. The Treasurer
increased by U.S. Treasury holdings by $14 with an August maturity to meet the September
1' Debt Service payment. The Treasurer also increased Commercial Paper by $10 million to
take advantage of the one month lag between the receipt of Property Tax revenue and the
payment of Pass Through payments. LAIF increased by $3.8 million to take advantage of
their higher rates in a declining rate environment. The sweep account earned $3,008 in
interest income for the month of May and the bank fees for the month were $ 2,044 which
resulted in a net increase of $ 964 in real savings.
Portfolio Performance — The overall portfolio performance decreased by twenty four (24)
basis points from the prior month and ended at 3.17% for the month, with the pooled cash
investments yielding 3.14%. The overall portfolio yield (including bond proceeds) was one
hundred twenty five (125) basis points over the benchmark, which has decreased by forty six
(46) basis point from the one hundred seventy one (171) basis point difference in April. With
the average maturity of 63 days, the portfolio yield should remain at these levels for the next
three months with a small downward trend based upon reinvestments at lower rates. The
Treasurer has more of a barbell maturity schedule with the longer term investments helping to
keep yields higher as interest rates will gradually be falling. At this time last year, the
portfolio was yielding 5.15% and the benchmark was at 4.81 % so we have made significant
progress in meeting our benchmark. In the short term, the Treasurer has been investing more
in LAIF because its rate declines slower in a declining rate environment and in Commercial
Paper. The Treasurer did invest $14 million in U.S. Treasury Bills because of portfolio
limitations in other investment types and in bond proceeds to ensure that the funds are
available for capital projects, e.g. SilverRock and Vista Dunes Courtyard Homes and the
CVHC project at 48"' and Adams.
Future Thoughts
The Treasurer will continue to invest in short term maturities to take advantage of the yield
curve — Commercial Paper with 30 to 90 day maturities and Bond proceeds will be laddered in
three- and six-month Treasury bills as they mature. Maturing GSE's will be rolled over to the
highest yield on curve taking into consideration cash flow needs or in medium term notes.

Fiscal Year 2008/09 Work Plan
BACKGROUND:
Business Session: C
Each year the Investment Advisory Board adopts a work plan, which is
subsequently forwarded to the City Council for approval.
In addition to the responsibilities listed in the ordinance, the Board may want to
consider additional items to address during FY 08/09.
Last year the work plan included a review of a Request for Proposal (RFP) for
banking services, the monitoring and review of GSE's, LAIF and Commercial Paper
and a recommendation to City Council for the use of a Professional Portfolio
Manager and the amending of the Municipal Code.
In Fiscal Year 2008/2009, Staff has identified the following possible work plan
items:
1) Review GSE's, LAIF and Commerical Paper
2) Chapter 2.70 of the Municipal Code — Investment Advisory Board Provisions
RECOMMENDATION:
Review and approval of work plan items as deemed appropriate, for consideration
by the City Council at their August 5, 2008 meeting.

BOARD MEMBER MOULIN'S HANDOUT
Don's Changes to IP 2008-9
Certain revisions of the City's Ordinance Section 2.70 have been marked in the draft
IP. The IAB can only suggest that the CC adopt changes. But if the IAB is initiating
change, consider the following modifications to Section 2.70.010
Qualifications of the members of the board:
Current ordinance: C. Background in the investment field and/or related experience
is preferred.
Comment. The sentence above has carried over without change from the IP for
1998-99 despite its inadequacy. At minimum, the word "securities" should modify
"investment". It needs more than that. I recommend that C he changed to the
following:
Revised: Applicants for the board should have a background in finance, preferably
with knowledge and/or experience in markets, controls and accounting for securities.
Terms of service and their expiration
Background: The 1988 version of 2.70 specified two-year terms of service with
staggered expiration dates. In 1998, the board consisted of seven members. The CC
lengthened the terms to three years, and shortly thereafter, reduced the board to five
members. The term of service and the need to stagger the expiration of terms were
removed from Section 2.70.
Comment: Continuity of members of the board. is important The CC has appointed
as many as four members in a year, some from resignation, move, conflict of interest
and other reasons. The CC has appointed all successors to three-year terms without
regard for the expiration of the term of their predecessor. To promote continuity, the
CC should return to staggered terms for members of the IAB.
New: E. To promote continuity, the expiration of the three-year terms of the
members of the board shall be staggered.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY BOARD Business Session: D
Meeting Date: July 16, 2008
TITLE:

CITY OF LA QUINTA
Investment Policy
Fiscal Year 2008-09
Executive Summary
The general purpose of this Investment Policy is to provide the rules and standards that must be
followed in administering the City of La Quinta's deposits and investments.
The City's Investment Policy conforms to all state and local statutes and applies to all deposits
and investments of the City of La Quinta, City of La Quinta Redevelopment Agency, and the
City of La Quinta Financing Authority (the"City").
It is the City's policy to deposit and invest public funds in a manner that shall provide:
► Safety of principal;
► Liquidity to meet all of the City's obligations and requirements that may be reasonably
anticipated;
► A risk -based market rate of return.
It is the City's policy to hold securities and other investments until maturity. This buy -and -hold
policy shall not prevent the sale of a security to minimize loss of principal when an issuer or
backer suffers declining credit worthiness or when the liquidity needs of the portfolio require
that a security be sold.
Authority to manage the City's investment portfolio is derived from the City Ordinance.
Management responsibility for the investment program is delegated to the City Treasurer, who
shall establish and implement written procedures for the operation of the City's investment
program consistent with the Investment Policy. The Treasurer shall establish and implement a
system of internal controls to accomplish the following objectives:
► Safeguard assets;
► The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to all City
management policies;
► Prevention or detection of errors and fraud;
► The accuracy and completeness of accounting records;
► Timely preparation of reliable financial information.
The System of Internal Controls developed by the City Treasurer shall be reviewed annually by the
independent auditors in connection with the annual audit of the City's Financial Statements.
The City Manager, Assistant City Managers, City Treasurer and city employees involved in the
City's banking and investment process shall conduct the City's business in an ethical manner and
refrain from any activity or relationship that may be, or have the appearance of, a conflict of
interest.
The City Treasurer maintains a listing of financial institutions which are approved for investment
purposes. All Broker/Dealers and financial institutions that provide investment services will be
subject to City Council approval.
The Treasurer will be permitted to invest only in the permissible deposits and investments
described in Section X and Appendix A up to the specified maximum allowable percentages
PA
and/or dollar limitations and, where applicable, through the bid process requirements. Permissible
deposits and investments include, in general:
► FDIC -Insured Checking, Savings, and Sweep Accounts;
► Certificates of Deposit;
► U.S. Government Agency Securities and Federal Government Securities;
► Prime Commercial Paper;
► Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF);
► Money Market Mutual Funds;
► Corporate Notes;
► Professionally Managed Accounts.
The City's deposits and investments are generally limited to three years' maximum maturity.
However, the projected amount of funds not expected to be disbursed within five years may be
invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds maturing between three and five years.
The City's Investment Policy does not specify a single benchmark as a goal or target yield for a
rate of return on its investment portfolio. As a basis for comparison only, the Treasurer's
monthly report will display the rates of return on the three-month, six-month, and one-year U.S.
Treasury Bill, comparable -period rates for commercial paper, and the yield for the State
Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).
The Investment Policy shall be adopted by resolution of the La Quinta City Council on an annual
basis. The Investment Policy will be adopted before the end of June of each year.
This Executive Summary is only an overview of the City's Investment Policy. Reading this
summary does not constitute a complete review, which can only be accomplished by reviewing all
of the pages herein.

The general purpose of this document is to provide the rules and standards that must be followed
in administering the City of La Quinta's deposits and investments.
11 INVESTMENT POLICY
It is the policy of the City of La Quinta to deposit and invest public funds in a manner that shall
provide:
➢ Safety of principal;
➢ Liquidity to meet all of the City's obligations and requirements that may be reasonably
anticipated;
➢ A risk -based market rate of return.
The Investment Policy conforms to all State and local statutes governing the investment of public
funds and sets forth the permissible deposits and investments of the City's funds and the
limitations thereon.
III SCOPE
Except as further detailed in Section XVII, this Investment Policy applies to all deposits and
investments of the City of La Quinta, City of La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and the City of La
Quinta Financing Authority (hereafter referred to in this document as the "City"). These funds are
reported in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and include all funds within
the following fund types:
► General
► Special Revenue
► Capital Projects
► Debt Service
► Enterprise
► Internal Service
► Trust and Agency
► Any new fund types and fund(s) that may be created.
IV OBJECTIVES
The objectives of the City's investment activity, in order of priority and importance, are:
1. Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City's investment program.
4
NO
M,mvb
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of
principal of the overall portfolio in accordance with the permissible deposits and
investments.
The City shall endeavor to preserve its investment principal by making only permissible
deposits and investments, undertaken in a controlled manner to minimize the possibility of
loss or misappropriation through malfeasance or otherwise. Investments not backed by
the full faith and credit of the United States Government shall be diversified by allocating
assets between different types of permissible investments, maturities, and issuers as a
means to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
A. Credit Risk is the risk of loss from the failure of the securityissuer or backer.
Credit risk may be mitigated by:
► Limiting investments to investment grade securities as permitted in Section X;
► Diversifying the issuers of the securities in the investment portfolio so that
potential losses due to issuer failure or individual securities downgrades may be
minimized.
B. Interest Rate Risk is the risk that market values of securities in the portfolio will
decline due to changes in general interest rates. Interest rate risk may be mitigated
by:
► Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash
requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities
on the open market prior to maturity; and
► Investing operating funds primarily in shorter -term securities.
C. Liquidity Risk is the risk that a security cannot be liquidated because of its unique
features or structure or because it is thinly traded. Liquidity risk is not a material
issue for the City's portfolio because of the permissible deposits and investments
(see Section X) and because the City maintains a buy -and -hold policy and holds
securities and other investments to maturity. A discussion of the City's investment
process and risk is presented in Appendix I.
2. Provide Liquidity
The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all of the City's cash needs
that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so
that sufficient liquid funds are available to meet anticipated demands. Furthermore, since
all possible cash needs cannot be anticipated the portfolio should be diversified and
consist of securities with active secondary or resale markets.
The City's policy is to hold securities and other investments to maturity. Accordingly,
securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions:
► A security with declining credit quality can be sold early to minimize loss of
principal;
► Unanticipated liquidity needs of the portfolio require that one or more securities be
sold.
5
3. Yield A Risk -Based Market Rate Of Return
The City's investment portfolio shall be structured with the objective of yielding a risk -
based market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles. Return on
investment is less important than the safety and liquidity objectives described above.
The City's Investment Policy does not specify a single benchmark as a goal or target yield
for a rate of return on its investment portfolio. The portfolio's rates of return will be
influenced by several factors, including actions by the Federal Reserve Board, the
marketplace, and overall economic perceptions and conditions. These factors will not
affect yield during the securities' holding period because the City's buy -and -hold policy
fixes the securities' yield at the time of purchase.
As a basis for comparison only, the Treasurer's monthly report will display the rates of
return on the three-month, six-month, and one-year U.S. Treasury Bill, comparable -period
rates for commercial paper, and the yield for the State Treasurer's Local Agency
Investment Fund (LAIF). The Treasurer may use these or any other published rates of
return that the Treasurer deems appropriate for comparison to the return on the City's
investment portfolio.
V MAXIMUM MATURITIES
It is the City's policy to hold securities and other investments until maturity, thus avoiding the risk
of market value fluctuations with overall market interest rates. This buy -and -hold policy shall not
prevent the sale of a security to minimize loss of principal when an issuer or backer suffers
declining credit worthiness or when the liquidity needs of the City require that a security be sold.
The buy -and -hold policy requires that the City's investment portfolio be structured so that
sufficient liquid funds are available from maturing investments and other sources to meet all
reasonably -anticipated cash needs. To meet anticipated cash needs, it is essential that the
Treasurer have reliable, diligently prepared cash flow projections.
Annually, the Treasurer shall project the amount of funds not expected to be disbursed within five
years. For FY 2008/09, the amount of such funds is projected to be $8 million. Funds up to that
amount may be invested in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds maturing between 3 and 5 years.
For all other funds, investments are limited to three years maximum maturity, with no more than
25% of surplus funds invested in maturities exceeding two years and less than three years.
VI PRUDENCE
The City shall follow the Uniform Prudent Investor Act as adopted by the State of California in
Probate Code Sections 16045 through 16054.
Section 16053 sets forth the terms of a prudent person which are as follows: "Investments shall
be made with judgment and care - under circumstances then prevailing - which persons of
prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the professional management of their own
affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as
well as the probable income to be derived."
VII AUTHORITY
Authority to manage the City's investment portfolio is derived from sections 35607 and 35608 of
City Ordinance 3.08.010. Management responsibility for the investment program is delegated to
the City Treasurer for a period of one year pursuant to the City Council's annual adoption of the
Investment Policy.
The City Treasurer shall establish written procedures for the operation of the investment program
consistent with the Investment Policy. Procedures should include reference to safekeeping, wire
transfer agreements, banking service contracts, and collateral/depository agreements. Such
procedures shall include explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for investment
transactions. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the
terms of this Investment Policy and the procedures established by the City Treasurer. The City
Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of
controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials. The City Manager or an Assistant City
Manager shall acknowledge in writing all purchases and sales of investments prior to their
execution by the City Treasurer.
Vlll ETHICS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The City Manager, Assistant City Managers, City Treasurer and city employees involved in the
City's banking and investment process shall conduct the City's business in an ethical manner and
refrain from any activity or relationship that may be, or have the appearance of, a conflict of
interest. Any questionable activity or relationship shall be reported immediately and in compliance
with the procedures set forth in Section 1.40 — Conflicts of Interest and Acceptance of Gifts and
other Gratuities of the City of La Quinta Personnel Manual. Reporting must be made in
accordance with the personnel policies of the City and, until resolved, the officer or employee
shall refrain from participating in the City's business related to the matter.
The City Manager, Assistant City Managers, City Treasurer and city employees may conduct
personal business with banks, brokers, and other financial institutions that are authorized to
conduct business with the City provided that the terms of the activity to the accountholder with
the City are the same as those that are available to the public in general.
IX AUTHORIZED FINANCIAL DEALERS AND INSTITUTIONS
The City Treasurer maintains a listing of financial institutions which are approved for direct
investment purposes. In addition a list will also be maintained of approved broker/dealers selected
by credit worthiness, who maintain an office in the State of California.
Broker/Dealers who desire to become bidders for direct investment transactions must
supply the City with the following.
► Current audited financial statements;
► Proof of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Certification;
► Trading resolution;
► Proof of California registration;
► Resume of Financial broker; and
► Completion of the City of La Quinta Broker/Dealer questionnaire (see Appendix F)
which contains a certification of having read the City's Investment Policy.
7
The City Treasurer shall evaluate the documentation submitted by the broker/dealer and
independently verify existing reports on file for any firm and individual conducting
investment related business.
The City Treasurer will also contact the following agencies during the verification process:
► Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Public Disclosure Report File (1-
800-289-9999).
► State of California Department of Corporations (1-916-445-3062).
The City Treasurer maintains a listing of financial institutions which are approved for
investment purposes. All Broker/Dealers and financial institutions that provide investment
services will be subject to City Council approval.
Each securities dealer shall provide monthly and quarterly reports filed pursuant to U.S. Treasury
Department regulations. Each mutual fund shall provide a prospectus and statement of additional
information.
2. Financial Institutions will be required to meet the following criteria in order to receive City
funds for deposit or investment (see Appendix E, "Listing of Approved Financial
Institutions"):
A. Insurance - Public Funds shall be deposited only in financial institutions having
accounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
B. Collateral - The amount of the City's deposits or investments not insured by the
FDIC —shall be collateralized by securities with market values of 110%, or by
mortgages with market values 150%, of the amount of invested funds plus unpaid

C. Disclosure - Each financial institution maintaining invested funds in excess of the
FDIC insured amount shall furnish the City a copy of the most recent Call Report.

Checking, Savings, and Sweep Accounts - The City will only maintain checking, savings,
and sweep accounts with FDIC insured financial institutions. As authorized by the City
Council, a U.S. Treasury and/or U.S. Agency Securities Money Market Sweep Account
with a $50,000 target balance may be maintained in conjunction with the checking
account.
Certificates of Deposit - As authorized in Government Code Section 53649, Certificates of
Deposit are fixed term investments which are required to be collateralized from 110% to
150% depending on the specific security pledged as collateral in accordance with
Government Code Section 53652. There are no portfolio limits on the amount or maturity
for this investment vehicle.
Collateralization will be required for Certificates of Deposits in excess of the FDIC insured
amount. The type of collateral is limited to City authorized investments. Collateral will
always be held by an independent third party from the institution that sells the Certificates
of Deposit to the City. Evidence of compliance with State Collateralization policies must
be supplied to the City and retained by the City Treasurer as follows:
A. Certificates of Deposits Insured by the FDIC: The City Treasurer may waive
collateralization of a deposit that is federally insured.
B. Certificates of Deposit in excess of FDIC Limits: The amount not federally insured
shall be 110% collateralized securities or 150% mortgages market value of that
amount of invested funds plus unpaid interest earnings.
The City's Investment Policy limits the percentage of Certificates of Deposit to 60% of the
portfolio.
9
➢ The City does not allow investments in CDAR's or negotiable (secondary market)
certificates of deposit.
3. U.S. Treasury Bills Notes and Bonds and Government National Mortgage Associations
(GNMA) securities - The City may invest in U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds, and
GNMA securities directly issued and backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
Government. The City's Investment Policy limits investments in U.S. Treasury issues and
GNMA's to 100% of the portfolio.
➢ The City's Investment Policy does not allow investments in local and state
indebtedness.
4. U.S. Government Agency Securities and Federal Government Securities - The City may
invest in securities issued by U.S. Government instrumentalities and agencies (commonly
referred to as government sponsored enterprises or GSE's). These securities are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Publicly owned GSE's include
Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC) and Student Loan Marketing Association (SLMA). Non -publicly owned GSE's
include the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB), Federal Farm Credit Bank (FFCB), Federal
Land Bank (FLB) and Federal Intermediate Credit Bank (FICB).
The City's Investment Policy allows investment only in securities of FNMA, FHLMC, FHLB
and FFCB. For Fiscal Year 2008/09, the maximum face amount per issuer is $20 million
for FNMA and FHLMC, $25 million for FHLB and $30 million for FFCB. In addition, no
more than 30% of the portfolio surplus may be invested in all GSE's combined with a
maximum $10 million face amount per purchase.
5. Prime Commercial Paper - As authorized in Government Code Section 53601(g), a portion
of the City's portfolio may be invested in commercial paper of the highest rating (A-1 or P-
1) as rated by Moody's or Standard and Poor's. There are a number of other qualifications
regarding investments in commercial paper based on the financial strength of the
corporation and the size of the investment. The City's Investment Policy permits
investments in commercial paper with the following limitations:
A. Maximum 15% of the portfolio.
B. Maximum maturity of 90 days.
C. Maximum of $5 million per issuer.
These limitations are more restrictive than the State code allowed amounts of 25% of the
total portfolio with maturities up to 270 days with no per -issuer limitations.
State Treasurer's Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) - As authorized in Government
Code Section 16429.1 and by LAW procedures, local government agencies are each
authorized to invest a maximum of $40 million per account in this investment program
administered by the California State Treasurer.
The City's investment in LAW is allowable as long as the average maturity of its
investment portfolio does not exceed two years, unless specific approval is authorized by
the City Council. The City has two accounts with LAW and limits investment to 30% of
the portfolio.
f el
7. Money Market Mutual Funds - As authorized in Government Code Section 53601(k►, local
agencies are authorized to invest in shares of beneficial interest issued by diversified
management companies (mutual funds) in an amount not to exceed 20% of the agency's
portfolio. There are a number of other qualifications and restrictions regarding allowable
investments in corporate notes and shares of beneficial interest issued by mutual funds
which include (1) attaining the highest ranking or the highest letter and numerical rating
provided by not less than two of the three largest nationally recognized rating services, or
(2) having an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission
with not less than five years' experience investing in the securities and obligations and
with assets under management in excess of five hundred million dollars ($500,000,000).
The City's Investment Policy only allows investments in mutual funds that are money
market funds maintaining a par value of $1 per share that invest in direct issues of the
U.S. Treasury and/or US Agency Securities with an average maturity of their portfolio not
exceeding 90 days and the City limits such investments to 20% of the portfolio.
8. Corporate Notes - As authorized in Government Code Section 53601 (j), local agencies
may invest in corporate notes. The notes must be issued by corporations organized and
operating in the United States or by depository institutions licensed by the United States
or any other state and operating in the United States. The City's Investment Policy allows
investment in corporate notes authorized by the Government Code with the following
limitations:
► Maturities shall not exceed three years from date of purchase.
► Eligible notes shall be regularly quoted and traded in the marketplace.
► Eligible notes shall be rated "AA"or better.
► Total investment shall not exceed 10% of the portfolio, and
► The maximum aggregate investment shall not exceed $5 million face amount for
each issuer.
This is more restrictive than the State code allowed amounts of 30% of the total portfolio
with maturities up to five years with no per -issuer limitations.
9. Professionally Managed Account(s) - The City Treasurer may place up to 10% of the
portfolio with a professional portfolio management firm ("PPMF"). The PPMF will be
approved by the City Council based upon the City Treasurer's recommendation pursuant to
completion of a request for proposal (RFP) as outlined in Appendix G. The PPMF shall
have:
(a) An established professional reputation for asset or investment management;
(b) Knowledge and working familiarity with State and Federal laws governing and
restricting the investment of public funds;
(c) Substantial experience providing investment management services to local public
agencies whose investment policies and portfolio size are similar to those of the
City;
(d) Professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance and fidelity bonding in such
amounts as are required by the City;
(a) Registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940.
Before engagement by the City and except as may be specifically waived or revised, the
PPMF shall commit to adhere to the provisions of the City's Investment Policy with the
following exceptions:
11
(f) The PPMF may be granted the discretion to purchase and sell investment securities
in accordance with Appendix I of this Investment Policy;
(g) The PPMF is not required to adhere to the buy -and -hold policy of the City's
Investment Policy, and;
(h► The PPMF does not need City Manager or City Treasurer approval to make
permissible investments as detailed in column 8 of Appendix H of this Investment
Policy.
XI
There are three (3) types of investment pools:
► State -run pools (e.g., LAIF);
► Pools that are operated by a political subdivision where allowed by law and the political
subdivision is the trustee (e.g., County Pools);
► Pools that are operated for profit by third parties.
The City's Investment Policy permits investment only in pools authorized in Section X.
XII PAYMENT AND CUSTODY
The City shall engage qualified third party custodians to act in a fiduciary capacity to maintain
appropriate evidence of the City's ownership of securities and other eligible investments. Such
custodians shall disburse funds, received from the City for a purchase, to the broker, dealer or
seller only after receiving evidence that the City has legal, record ownership of the securities.
Even though ownership is evidenced in book -entry form rather than by actual certificates, this
procedure is commonly accepted as the delivery versus payment (DVP) method for the transfer of
securities.
XIII INTEREST EARNING DISTRIBUTION POLICY
Interest earnings are generated from pooled investments and specific investments.
1. Pooled Investments - It is the general policy of the City to pool all available operating cash
of the City of La Quinta, La Quinta Redevelopment Agency and La Quinta Financing
Authority and allocate interest earnings, in the following order, as follows:
A. Payment to the General Fund of an amount equal to the total annual bank service
charges as incurred by the general fund for all operating funds as included in the
annual operating budget.
B. Payment to the General Fund of a management fee equal to 5% of the annual
pooled cash fund investment earnings.
C. Payment to each fund of an amount based on the average computerized
daily cash balance included in the common portfolio for the earning period.
2. Specific Investments - Specific investments purchased by a fund shall incur all earnings
and expenses to that particular fund.
12
XIV INTERNAL CONTROLS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The City Treasurer shall establish a system of internal controls to accomplish the following
objectives:
► Safeguard assets;
► The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management
policies;
► Prevention or detection of errors and fraud;
► The accuracy and completeness of accounting records; and
► Timely preparation of reliable financial information.
While no internal control system, however elaborate, can guarantee absolute assurance that the
City's assets are safeguarded, it is the intent of the City's internal control to provide a reasonable
assurance that management of the investment function meets the City's objectives.
The internal controls shall address the following:
Control of collusion. Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in
conjunction to defraud their employer.
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.
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.
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 as outlined in
the Segregation of Major Investment Responsibilities appendices.
Written confirmation or telephone transactions for investments and wire transfers. Due to
the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone transactions, all telephone
transactions shall be supported by written communications or electronic confirmations and
approved by the appropriate person. Written communications may be via fax if on
letterhead and the safekeeping institution has a list of authorized signatures. Fax
correspondence must be supported by evidence of verbal or written follow-up.
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the City's bank and third party custodian.
This agreement should outline the various controls, security provisions, and delineate
responsibilities of each party making and receiving wire transfers.
13
The System of Internal Controls developed by the City, shall be reviewed annually by the
independent auditor in connection with the annual audit of the City's Financial Statements.
The independent auditor's management letter comments pertaining to cash and investments, if
any, shall be directed to the City Manager who will direct the City Treasurer to provide a written
response to the independent auditor's letter. The management letter comments pertaining to
cash and investment activities and the City Treasurer's response shall be provided to the City's
Investment Advisory Board for their consideration. Following the completion of each annual
audit, the independent auditor shall meet with the Investment Advisory Board and discuss the
auditing procedures performed and the review of internal controls for cash and investment
activities.
See Appendix D, "Segregation of Major Investment Responsibilities."
XV REPORTING STANDARDS
The City Treasurer shall submit a monthly Treasurers Report to the City Council and the
Investment Advisory Board that includes all cash and investments under the authority of the
Treasurer.
The Treasurer's Report shall summarize cash and investment activity and changes in balances and
include the following:
► A certification by the City Treasurer.
► A listing of purchases and sales/maturities of investments.
► Cash and Investments categorized by authorized investments, except for LAIF
which will be provided quarterly and show yield and maturity.
► Comparison of month end actual holdings to Investment Policy limitations.
► Current year and prior year monthly history of cash and investments for trend
analysis.
► Balance Sheet.
► Distribution of cash and investment balances by fund.
► A comparison of actual and surplus funds.
► A year to date historical cash flow analysis and projection for the next six months.
► A two-year list of historical interest rates.
XVI FINANCIAL ASSETS AND INVESTMENT ACTIVITY NOT SUBJECT TO THIS POLICY
The City's Investment Policy does not apply to the following:
► Cash and Investments raised from Conduit Debt Financing;
► Funds held in trust in the City's name in pension or other post -retirement benefit
programs;
► Cash and Investments held in lieu of retention by banks or other financial
institutions for construction projects;
► Short or long term loans made to other entities by the City or Agency; and
Short term (Due to/from) or long term (Advances from/to) obligations made
either between the City and its funds or between the City and Agency.
14
XVII INVESTMENT OF BOND PROCEEDS
The City's Investment Policy shall govern bond proceeds and bond reserve fund investments.
California Code Section 5922 (d) governs the investment of bond proceeds and reserve funds in
accordance with bond indenture provisions which shall be structured in accordance with the
City's Investment Policy.
Arbitrage Requirement - The US Tax Reform Act of 1986 requires the City to perform arbitrage
calculations as required and return excess earnings to the US Treasury from investments of
proceeds of bond issues sold after the effective date of this law. These arbitrage calculations
may be contracted with an outside source to provide the necessary technical assistance to
comply with this regulation. Investable funds subject to the 1986 Tax Reform Act will be kept
segregated from other funds and records will be kept in a fashion to facilitate the calculations.
The City's investment position relative to the new arbitrage restrictions is to continue pursuing
the maximum yield on applicable investments while ensuring the safety of capital and liquidity. It
is the City's position to continue maximization of yield and to rebate excess earnings, if
necessary.
XVIII INVESTMENT ADVISORY BOARD - CITY OF LA QUINTA
The Investment Advisory Board (IAB) is a standing board composed of five members from the
public that are appointed by the City Council. Background information will be requested and
potential candidates must agree to a background check and verification. On an annual basis, in
conjunction with the Political Reform Act disclosure statutes, or at any time if a change in
circumstances warrants, each board member will provide the City Council with a disclosure
statement which identifies any matters that have a bearing on the appropriateness of that
member's service on the board. All board members shall report annually to the City Clerk on
Form 700, Statement of Economic Interests, any activities, interests, or relationships that may be,
or have the appearance of, a conflict of interest.
The IAB must meet at least quarterly, but usually meets monthly, to:
1. Review at least annually the City's Investment Policy and recommend appropriate
changes;
2. Review monthly treasury report and note compliance with the Investment Policy and
adequacy of cash and investments for anticipated obligations;
3. Receive and consider other reports provided by the City Treasurer;
4. Meet with the independent auditor after completion of the annual audit of the City's
financial statements, and receive and consider the auditor's comments on auditing
procedures, internal controls and findings for cash and investment activities, and;
5. Serve as a resource for the City Treasurer on matters such as proposed investments,
internal controls, use or change of financial institutions, custodians, brokers and dealers.
The IAB will report to the City Council after each meeting either in person or through
correspondence at a regular City Council meeting. See Appendix B: "Investment Advisory Board
Provisions".
XIX INVESTMENT POLICY ADOPTION
The City's Investment Policy will be reviewed annually by the City's Investment Advisory Board
15
and the City Treasurer. The Investment Advisory Board will forward the Investment Policy with
any revisions to the City Manager and City Attorney for their review and comment. A joint
meeting will be held with the Investment Advisory Board, City Manager, City Attorney, and City
Treasurer to review the Investment Policy and any comments prior to submission to the City
Council for their consideration.
The Investment Policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council annually before the end
of June of each year.

Investment Management Process and Risk
Except as provided for in Section 27000.3, Government Code Section 53600.3 declares each
person, treasurer, or governing body authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of
local agencies to be a trustee and therefore a fiduciary subject to the prudent investor
standard. These persons shall act with care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing when investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging,
selling, and managing funds. Section 53600.5 further stipulates that the primary objective of
any person investing public funds is to safeguard principal; secondly, to meet liquidity needs
of the depositor; and lastly, to achieve a return or yield on invested funds (Government Code
Section 27000.5 specifies the same objectives for county treasurers and board of
supervisors).
Risk is inherent throughout the investment process. There is risk assigned to any investment
activity as well as opportunity risk related to inactivity. Market risk is derived from exposure
to overall changes in the general level of interest rates while credit risk is the risk of loss due
to the failure of the insurer of a security. The market value of a security varies inversely with
the level of interest rates. If an investor is required to sell an investment with a five percent
yield in a comparable seven percent rate environment, that security will be sold at a loss. The
magnitude of that loss will depend on the amount of time until maturity.
Purchasing certain allowable securities with a maturity of greater than five years requires
approval of the governing board (see Government Code Section 53601). Part of that approval
process involves assessing and disclosing the risk and possible volatility of longer -term
investments
Another element of market risk is liquidity risk. Instruments with unique call features, special
structures or those issued by little known companies are often thinly traded. Their uniqueness
often makes finding prospective buyers in a secondary market more difficult and,
consequently, the securities' marketability and price are discounted. However, under certain
market conditions, gains are also possible with these types of securities.
Default risk occurs when the borrower is unable to repay the obligation. Generally, securities
issued by the federal government and its agencies are considered the most secure, while
securities issued by private corporations or negotiable certificates of deposit issued by
commercial banks have a greater degree of risk. Securities with additional credit
enhancements, such as bankers acceptances, collateralized repurchase agreements and
collateralized bank deposits are somewhere between the two on the risk spectrum.
The vast majority of portfolios are managed within a buy and hold policy. Investments are
purchased with the intent and capacity to hold that security until maturity. At times, market
forces or operations may dictate swapping one security for another or selling a security before
maturity. Continuous analysis and fine tuning of the investment portfolio are considered
prudent investment management. [...1
The Government Code contains specific provisions regarding the types of investments and
practices permitted after considering the broad requirement of preserving principal and
maintaining liquidity before seeking yield. These provisions are intended to promote the use of
reliable, diverse, and safe investment instruments to better ensure a prudently managed portfolio
worthy of public trust.
