Body
Previous Commission Action: Commission approved Investment Policy in 04/17/2018, Resolution 2018-20.
Background/Problem Discussion: Finance Department monitored cash flow in order to maximize investment earnings.
Expenditure Challenges: NA
Financial Implications: Available funds were invested to maximize the return on the portfolio and to preserve the principle while avoiding unreasonable risk. Interest earned in the 1st Quarter totaled $244,565.02, a marked improvement over prior year’s 1st quarter of $151,343.93. The results were due to higher interest rates earned in the 1st quarter of FY 23/24, approximately 5.5% versus 4.1% in FY 22/23.
Recommendation: I recommend acceptance of the investment schedule as presented for the 1st quarter of FYE 9-30-24.
Proposed Motion I move to accept the investment schedule as presented for the 1st quarter of FYE 9-30-24.
