I Treasurer's Commentary
For the Month of May 2011
Cash Balances — The portfolio size increased by $7.02 million to end the month at $161.1
million. The major reason for the increase was $25.7 million received from the County of
Riverside from the second property tax installment. Offsetting this increase was $12.27
million spent on pass through payments to other taxing entities, $4.85 million spent on a
SERAF shift, $1.7 million spent on Police protection, and $1.1 million spent on Capital
Improvement Projects. Capital improvement projects included $336,000 spent on Village land
acquisition, $107,000 spent on the Coral Mountain Apartment project, and $105,000 spent
onthe Eisenhower Drive synchronization project.
Investment Activity — The investment activity resulted in an average maturity decrease of
thirty six (36) days from the prior month to end the month of May at 156 days. The Treasurer
follows a buy and hold investment policy with three investments of Commercial Paper made
in the month of May. The sweep account earned $66 in interest income for the month of May
and the bank fees for the month were $ 2,049 which resulted in a net decrease of $1,983 in
real savings.
Portfolio Performance — The overall portfolio performance had a seven (7) basis point
decrease from the prior month and ended at .41% for the month, with the pooled cash
investments at .48%. The portfolio yield should continue to stay at these levels for the near
future. At this time last year, the portfolio was yielding .48% which reflects the current
interest rate environment.
Looking Ahead
The Treasurer is still concentrating on safety first and foremost. In the short term, the
Treasurer will be investing in Commercial Paper as opposed to short term GSE's and US
Treasury investments and has reduced the LAW RDA Account to zero until the Governor's
budget proposal has been finalized.

1. The daily effective federal funds rate is a weighted average of rates on brokered trades.
2. Weekly figures are averages of 7 calendar days ending on Wednesday of the current week; monthly figures include each calendar
day in the month.
3. Annualized using a 360-day year or bank interest.
4. On a discount basis.
5. Interest rates interpolated from data on certain commercial paper trades settled by The Depository Trust Company. The trades
represent sales of commercial paper by dealers or direct issuers to investors (that is, the offer side). The 1, 2, and 3-month rates are
equivalent to the 30, 60, and 90-day dates reported on the Board's Commercial Paper Web page
(www.f'cderalrcserx,c.gov"relc�iscs,'Cp.,').
6. Financial paper that is insured by the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program is not excluded from relevant indexes, nor is
any financial or nonfinancial commercial paper that may be directly or indirectly affected by one or more of the Federal Reserve's
liquidity facilities. Thus the rates published after September 19, 2008, likely reflect the direct or indirect effects of the new temporary
programs and, accordingly, likely are not comparable for some purposes to rates published prior to that period.
7. An average of dealer bid rates on nationally traded certificates of deposit.

9. Rate posted by a majority of top 25 (by assets in domestic offices) insured U.S.-chartered commercial banks. Prime is one of several
base rates used by banks to price short-term business loans.
10. The rate charged for discounts made and advances extended under the Federal Reserve's primary credit discount window program,
which became effective January 9, 2003. This rate replaces that for adjustment credit, which was discontinued after January 8, 2003.

Description of the Treasury Nominal and Inflation -Indexed Constant Maturity Series
Yields on Treasury nominal secturities at "constant maturity" are interpolated by the U.S. Treasury from the daily yield curve for
non -inflation -indexed Treasury securities. This curve, which relates the yield on a security to its time to maturity, is based on the
closing market bid yields on actively traded Treasury securities in the over-the-counter market. These market yields are calculated
from composites of quotations obtained by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The constant maturity yield values are read
from the yield curve at fixed maturities, currently 1, 3, and 6 months and 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, and 30 years. This method provides a
yield for a 10-year maturity, for example, even if no outstanding security has exactly 10 years remaining to maturity. Similarly,
yields on inflation -indexed securities at "constant maturity" are interpolated from the daily yield curve for Treasury inflation
protected securities in the over-the-counter market. The inflation -indexed constant maturity yields are read from this yield curve at
fixed maturities, currently 5, 7, 10, and 20 years.

for Fiscal Year 2011/2012
BACKGROUND:
Correspondence and
Written Material: C
On June 21, 2011 the City Council approved the Investment Policy for Fiscal Year
2011/2012, which is attached.
Also, attached is the Bloomberg screen print of Cook County, Illinois investment in
the Rabobank Collateralized Certificate of Deposit Program.
It should be noted that during the final editing process, page 6 under item V. third
paragraph the fact that the U.S. Treasury Bills maximum maturity of one year was
not incorporated into the Investment Policy. Staff apologizes for this oversight and
can either go back to the City Council with an amended policy or incorporate it as
update for next year.

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 and Housing Authorities (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:
I� General
1� Special Revenue
I- Capital Projects
W Debt Service
11� Enterprise
I� Internal Service
1� Trust and Agency
I- 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 4 objective of the City's investment program,�
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 security issuer or backer.
Credit risk may be mitigated by:
10- Limiting investments to investment grade securities as permitted in Section X;
0- 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:
ll� 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
ll� 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 1.
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 reports will display the rates of
return on the three-month Bill, six-month Bill, and one and two-year U.S. Treasury Note,
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 ten
years. For FY 2011/2012, the amount of such funds is projected to be $30 million. Funds up to
that amount may be invested in U.S. Treasury, notes and bonds Local Agency Obligations, and
California Local Agency Obligations maturing between 3 and 10 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 theterms 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."
1.71

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 his/her designee

12
In the case of an initial public offering, including refinancings, the Treasurer may purchase
directly from the Bond Underwriter. If the case of secondary issues, the Treasurer will rely
on the approved Broker/Dealers.
X1 INVESTMENT POOLS
There are three (3) types of investment pools:
10, State -run pools (e.g., LAIF);
0- Pools that are operated by a political subdivision where allowed by law and the political
subdivision is the trustee (e.g., County Pools);
li� 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 and
Housing Authorities 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.
13
XIV INTERNAL CONTROLS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The City Treasurer shall establish a system of internal controls to accomplish thefollowing
objectives:
1� Safeguard assets;
1� The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management
policies;
0, Prevention or detection of errors and fraud;
0- The accuracy and completeness of accounting records; and
1� 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.
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.
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 as outlined in
the Segregation of Major Investment Responsibilities appendices.
6. Written confirmation or telephone transactions for investments and wire transfers. Dueto
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.
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.
14
The independent auditor's letter on internal control over financial reporting and compliance as it
pertains 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 auditor's
letter, as it pertains, 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 LAW
which will be provided quarterly and show yield and maturity.

P. Cash and Investments raised from Conduit Debt Financing;
ll� Funds held in trust in the City's name in pension or other post -retirement benefit
programs;
li� Cash and Investments held in lieu of retention by banks or other financial
institutions for construction projects;
01 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.
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.
15
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

Appendix I
Investment Management Process and Risk
Except as provided for in Section 27000.3, Government Code Section 53600.3 declares as a trustee
each person, treasurer, or governing body authorized to make investment decisions on behalf of local
agencies. As trustees are 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 investment risk associated with any
investment activity and 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 or special
structures, or those issued by little known companies, are examples of "story bonds" and 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 represents the possibility that the borrower may be unable to repay the obligation as
scheduled. 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. [ ... I
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.
