BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS

 

The City’s Investment Policy requires the City Treasurer to submit a quarterly investment report to the City Council which provides full disclosure of the City’s investment activities.

 

The goal of the City Treasurer’s Office is to make investments in conformity with the investment policy adopted by the City Council on June 26, 2024. The quarterly City Treasurer’s report is intended to provide an awareness of the activity and performance of the City's investment portfolio.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the City had $20,532,676 in its operating account, $1,023,296 in Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), and $40,984,666 in California Asset Management Program (CAMP). The City has adequate funds to meet its cash flow requirements for the next six months.


The book value of the City’s investment portfolio at the quarter ended December 31, 2024, was $561,330,911 (book value is the cost of the security plus any amortization or accumulation of premiums or discounts). The December 31, 2024, portfolio book value increased by $41 million (or 8.0 percent) over the December 31, 2023, portfolio book value. As shown in the following table, the book value of the City’s primary investment portfolio has increased by $19.9 million from the prior quarter ended September 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the average purchase yield to maturity was 3.57 percent for this account.
