" COMMISSION AGENDA ITEM G CONSENT XX INFORMATIONAL PUBLIC HEARING REGULAR .Tlmmn-y 2R, 2002 Meeting MGR~DEPT~ AuthorizMion REQUEST: The Finance Department requesting the Commission approve Resolution 2002-01 which authorizes the City to establish an account with the State Board of Administration (SBA) and designates the City Manager, Finance Director and the City Treasurer as the administrator for the account responsible for transmitting and withdrawing funds. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Agenda Item is to gain Commission approval for a SBA account in which to deposit surplus City funds. CONSIDERATIONS: . Steve Alexander, our Investment and Treasury Consultant with PFM has formally presented and recommended that we open and place surplus funds into a SBA account. . Our consultant recommended a 3 tiered banking and treasury structure with a reduced number of bank accounts to meet our transaction needs such as deposits and check writing, a SBA account to meet our short term liquidity needs, and a long-term investment vehicle. . An Internal Control Manual for Investments was prepared by our consultant that includes the City Controller as an authorized employee to carry out investment matters; however, the City prefers to utilize the City Controller in an independent audit function that requires a separation of duties over investment transactions. Instead, the City will use the City Treasurer as the third employee position authorized to perform investment functions. . A SBA account is a Local Government Investment Pool administered by the State Board of Administration. . The pool invests in money market instruments designed to accommodate liquidity needs of its participants. FUNDING: N/A ATTACHMENTS: .
