I certify that this report accurately reflects all pooled investments and is in compliance with the California
Government Code; and is in conformity with the City Investment Policy.
As Treasurer of the City of La Quinta. I hereby certify that sufficient investment liquidity and anticipated
revenues are available to meet the pools expenditure requirements for the next six months. The City of
La Quinta used the Bureau of the Public Debt, U.S. Bank Monthly Statement and the Bank of New York
Monthly Custodian Report to determine the fair market value of investments at month end.

Footnote
(1) The amount reported represents the net increase (decrease) of deposits and withdrawals from
the previous month.
(2) The amount reported in the other column represents the amortization of premium/discount for the
month on US Treasury, Commercial Paper and Agency investments.
(3) The cash account may reflect a negative balance. This negative balance will be offset with transfers from other investments
before warrants are presented for payment by the payee at the bank.
Treasurer's Commentary
For the Month of March 2013
Cash Balances — The portfolio size decreased by approximately $8.6 million to end the month
at $146.32 million. The major reason for the decrease was due to the payment of interest
payments for debt service in the amount of $6.7 million; and expenditures for Public Safety
were $.9 million for the month of January 2013.
Investment Activity — The investment activity resulted in an average maturity increase of 8
days from the prior month to end the month of March at 123 days. The Treasurer follows a
buy and hold investment policy.
During the month of March, the LAIF account decreased by $1.8 million. The sweep account
earned $9 in interest income for the month of March and the bank fees for the month were
$1,564 which resulted in a net decrease of $1,555 in real savings.
Portfolio Performance — The overall portfolio performance increased from the prior month and
ended at .30% for the month, with the pooled cash investments at .39%. The portfolio yield
should continue to stay at these levels for the near future. At this time last year, the portfolio
was yielding .44% which reflects the current interest rate environment.
Looking Ahead
In the short term, the Treasurer will be investing in negotiable certificates of deposit,
Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE) paper and rolling over bond proceeds and reserves
into U.S. Treasury bills or notes.

City of La Quints
Statement of Investment Policy
July 1, 201-213 through June 30, 201-314
I Adopted by the City Council on J�e49�204-2
GENERAL PURPOSE
The general purpose of this document is to provide the rules and standards that must be followed
in administering the City of La Quints's deposits and investments.
INVESTMENT POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Le 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.
Th I a 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, Successor Agency to the City of La Quints 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:
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:
4
I
Safety of Principal
Safety of principal is the foremost 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:
0- 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:
N� Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash
requirements for ongoing.operations7 thereby avoiding the need to Sell securities
on the open market prior to maturity; and
0- 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.
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 2012120132013/2014, the amount of such f unds is projected to be,99rinillion. Fonnatted: Highlight
----------
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 five years maximum maturity.
V1 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."

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.
Pooled Investments - It is the general policy of the City to pool all available operating cash
of the City of La Quinta, Successor Agency to the City of 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.
XIV INTERNAL CONTROLS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The City Treasurer shall establish a system of internal controls to accomplish the following
objectives:
0, Safeguard assets;
li� The orderly and efficient conduct of its business, including adherence to management
policies;
J� Prevention or detection of errors and fraud;
1� The accuracy and completeness of accounting records; and
11- 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
14
assurance that management of the investment function meets the City's objectives.
The internal controls shall address the following:
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. Byseparatingthe
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. 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.
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 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."
15
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:
D. A certification by thethe City Treasurer.
o, A listing of purchases and sales/maturities of investments.
III Cash and Investments categorized by authorized investments, except for LAW
which will be provided quarterly and show yield and maturity.
P. Comparison of month end actual holdings to Investment Policy limitations.
11- Current year and prior year monthly history of cash and investments for trend
analysis.
11. Balance Sheet.
0. Distribution of cash and investment balances by fund.
11. A year to date historical cash flow analysis and projection for the next six months.
11. 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:
0. 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;
11. Cash and Investments held in lieu of retention by banks or other financial
institutions for construction projects;
101 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.
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.
16
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.

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-temn investments
Another element of market risk is liquidity risk. Instrundentswith 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.
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.

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.federalreserve.,i�ov/relea,se.�/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.
8. Source: Bloomberg and CTRB ICAP Fixed Income & Money Market Products.
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.
For further information, see www.federiilreserve.pov/bozirddocs�/press/beref4/2002i2OO2lO3l2/cief�atilt.htm. The rate reported is that for
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Historical series for the rate on adjustment credit as well as the rate on primary credit are
available at www.fcderalreseme.pov/releases/hl 5/data.htm.
11. Yields on actively traded non -inflation -indexed issues adjusted to constant maturities. The 30-year Treasury constant maturity
series was discontinued on February 18, 2002, and reintroduced on February 9, 2006. From February 18, 2002, to February 9, 2006,

Description of the Treasury Nominal and Inflation -Indexed Constant Maturity Series
Yields on Treasury nominal securities at "constant maturity" are interpolated by the U.S. Treasury fironithe 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.
