Item to be presented by: Darren Hernandez
DATE: June 13, 2006
SUBJECT: CITY OF SANTA CLARITA'S FISCAL YEAR 2006-07
STATEMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
DEPARTMENT: Administrative Services
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt the City of Santa Clarita's Fiscal Year 2006-07 Statement of Investment
Policy, and direct staff to submit the policy to the Association of Public Treasurers United States
and Canada (APT US&C) for certification in their award program
BACKGROUND
Per California Government Code Section 53646, the City Treasurer may annually present the
City's Investment Policy to the City Council to reaffirm or make any changes to the existing
policy. The City's Investment Policy has been submitted to the APT US&C every year for the
past eleven years and has received the Certificate of Excellence for each of these years.
The Investment Policy provides guidelines for the management of the City's cash and the
investment of its idle funds. The Policy affords the City various investment opportunities, as
long as the investment is deemed prudent under the Prudent Person Rule (Civil Code Section
2261, et seq.) and is allowable under the current legislation of the State of California
(Government Code Section 53600, et seq.). The Policy's guidelines emphasize the importance of
safety and liquidity first. The yield on the City's investment portfolio is secondary to these first
two objectives.
California Government Code Sections 53646 (g) and 6) require the City to submit its second and
fourth quarter investment reports and its annual investment policy to the California Debt and
Investment Advisory Commission. The proposed Investment Policy for 2006-07 adds a
paragraph detailing this requirement. This is the only change proposed, and all other sections
" EU
remain unchanged.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other actions as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
