require the treasurer of a local agency to render an annual statement of
investment policy to the legislative body, and a monthly report containing
specified information regarding investments and deposits to the chief

the level of investment of idle funds as close as possible to 100 percent.

STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
In order to join with the County of Orange, Office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector,
to have a resolution from the City Council authorizing the investment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the resolution designating Donald L. Watson, City Treasurer, and Patricia
Lovelace, Sr. Deputy City Treasurer, as the city's signature designees for investments
and withdrawals.
ANALYSIS:
A growing number of banks and savings and loan institutions have .marginal financial
ratios. This has made it increasingly difficult to find safe places to invest the
city's funds at reasonable yields. We frequently have invested the maximum allowed
.by the State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) . The Orange County Investment
Pool is operated by the Orange County Treasurer-Tax Collector under state law and
it is returning a slightly higher yield than LAIF, due to lower administrative costs.
It does not have the same restriction on maximum deposits but is more restrictive
on withdrawals.
The authority to utilize the Orange County investment pool , with our other authorized
investments, will allow us to maximize our safety, liquidity and yield.
FUNDING SOURCE:
None required.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS:
None, except to not participate in the investment pool .
