Mayor Watford yielded the floor to Okeechobee County Emergency Operations Center Director Mitch Smeykal, who
discussed the projected path of Hurricane Irma, an extremely large, Category 5 storm, forecasted to make Florida
landfall between late Saturday, September 9, 2017, to early Monday, September 11, 2017. An emergency
operations meeting will be held Wednesday, September 6, 2017, at 9:00 A.M. Due to the size of the storm,
Governor Scott has already issued a state of emergency for all Florida counties. Mandatory evacuations have not
been issued for Okeechobee County at this time. School closures will be forthcoming, as they will be needed for
local shelters. All local governmental agencies are to begin their preparedness plan.
Council Member Ritter asked Mr. Smeykal what communication he had been having with the South Florida Water
Management District and the Army Corps of Engineers representatives. Both provided information based on
conversations they had with these two groups. There is concern to lower Lake Okeechobee's depth; it is currently at
13.7 feet. The Army Corps of Engineers is predicting three to five feet of water flowing into Lake Okeechobee from
Hurricane Irma. Concerns are compounded by the high levels of Lake Kissimmee and its tributary waterways, which
flows into Lake Okeechobee. Mayor Watford thanked Mr. Smeykal for providing the Council with information.

Motion and second by Council Members O'Connor and Ritter to approve the first reading of proposed Ordinance
No. 1158.
Mayor Watford asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. Mrs. Jennifer Tewkkbury,
Executive Director of the Economic Council of Okeechobee, explained she had reviewed the prior three years'
audited financial statements and noticed a trend of increased expenses with the use of reserves to balance the
budget. She asked how the City planned on recouping the funds spent on these expenses and prevent this trend
from continuing.
Mayor Watford acknowledged the trend, noting the City was well aware of this and is making every effort to maintain
or slightly decrease expenses during the planning stage of the Budget process. He noted several were one-time
expenses such as the purchase of a new fire truck in FY 2016-17 for $450,000.00, and the development of the
Centennial Park coverina multiple years were included. Council Member Ritter added the City has been fortunate to
have reserves in order to provide pay increases to the employees, continue the level of service for citizens, and
spend money on projects that benefit the community. Property and sales tax revenues have started to increase for
the first time in a few years. City Staff is working diligently on creating future trends where revenues and
expenditures will be even.
During the discussion, Council Member Clark voiced her concerns with the trend of using reserves to cover
expenditures, adding the property values will not increase fast enough to keep the current pace. The increased
operating expenditures should be reflected in the Millage Rate; utilizing reserves to fund Capital Improvement
projects is appropriate. Council Member Ritter suggested the City come up with a five-year strategic plan and
provide it to the Economic Council, Mrs. Tewksbury liked the suggestion and thanked the Mayor and Council for
their time.

b) Public comments and discussion.
Over last 3 years shown increases in public safety operational.
MDO $450,000.00 was the fire truck which was a one expense.
Jennifery Tewskbury of the Economc Council, what is the citys plan to recoup those expenses?
Dowling — salary increases that reoccur are in there, some are one time expenses. Reserves for the expenses of the fire
truck, maintenance and repair the council is aware of this and look at it every year. We know there are cuts that will
have to be made if the revenues don't continue to increase to keep from using reserves to balance the budget.
Ritter from my stand oint agree with your point, fortunate with city councils in past that planned for reserves and can use
reserves to pay our emplooyees to continue the level of service. Important to know we are also spending money on
Page 7 of 10
"r..+ New
projects that the mayor discusses with the dept heads, but projects are spent on the community. Cant go in that
direction each year, it is not a trend that increasing but decreasing.
MDO past few years, first time seeing property revenues and sales tax revenues increasing for the first time. Trend will
be that within a few years we will be even. We see revenues coming or increasing. This should reserve itself,
holding on.
Clark — budgeted to use $500,000 in reserves, anticipated to use $300,000.
Dowling revenue and expenses all yu have to look at approving only those that are necessary, this was my first time
going through budget project, there were several items that don't even make it this far.
Ritter — perhaps coming up with a five year strategic plan and describe where were want to go in the future to help the
economic council.
Jennifer the 5 year strategic plan would be a good idea.
Clark very concerned with the trend of using reserves, the property values wont increase fast enough to keep the pace.
Dowling everything covered, including salary for the drug task force officer, whose partial salary is reimbursed through a
grant that may not be awarded. MDO — budgeted same way last year.
India — memo highlights.
Dowling thank Administrator and Finance Director, think medical clinic is going to be a good thing.
Clark if were increasing operating expenses that should be reflected in the millage rate, if its capital expenses then
reserves would be the appropriate area to pulled.
Clark the CRA study is that something we vote on to do? Yes because the amount is over $7500.
Ritter want to follow up with Clark discussion, don't know if appropriate, completely undertand what youre saying,
another government body had same discussion for three years, go same route we go, we are in better shape than
the larger government. Agree cant continue to go into the reserves, but we are fortunate to reap past council's
frugalness, cant continue on doing this for the next few years.
Dowling — when Clayton on the council he was also concerned about the pension plan and we are very fortunate to have
a plan fully funded. dDonald Burk would say do we want to bite the bullet.

2017 BIENNIAL REPORT
This report has been developed pursuant to Section
218.409 (10)(b), Florida Statutes. According to this
requirement, "The council shall prepare and submit
a written biennial report to the board, trustees, the
Investment Advisory Council, and the Joint Legislative
Auditing Committee that describes the activities and
recommendations of the council." Based on our oversight
and governance efforts, the Council considers the Local
Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund (branded as
"Florida PRIME"), to be a very high quality investment
option for its participants.
This report provides an overview of the investment and
operational activities since the Council's last Biennial
Report in early 2015. In addition to this report, we invite
readers to review the Florida PRIME website for additional
information regarding the annual compliance and legal
reviews, as well as all materials from historical Council
meetings.
Florida PRIME is overseen by several governing bodies,
including the State Board of Administration Board of
Trustees (Governor, Attorney General, and Chief Financial
Officer), the Participant Local Government Advisory
Council, the Investment Advisory Council, and the
Florida Legislature. All three of the Trustees of the Board
are elected statewide to their respective positions as
Governor, Chief Financial Officer, and Attorney General.
In November of 1942, the voters adopted a constitutional
provision creating the State Board of Administration
as a constitutional body, which succeeded to the
power, control, and authority of the statutory Board
of Administration. See the Florida Constitution of
1885, art. IX, §16. The initial duty of the State Board of
Administration, as set forth in the relevant constitutional
provisions, was to administer the Second Gas Tax. The
Constitution further provides that the State Board of
Administration ("Board" or "SBA") should also have "such

powers as may be conferred upon it by law." The Board
consists of three Trustees which have ultimate authority
and oversight for the SBA's investment strategy.
The Participant Local Government Advisory Council (the
"Council") was created in 2008, through amendment
to section 218 of the Florida Statutes. Members of the
Council are appointed by the Board and are subject
to confirmation by the Florida Senate. Members must
possess special knowledge, experience, and familiarity
obtained through active, long-standing, and material
participation in the dealings of the investment pool.
Members are appointed for four-year terms. A vacancy
is filled for the remainder of the unexpired term. The
Council annually elects a Chair and a Vice -Chair from
its membership. A member may not be elected to
consecutive terms as Chair or Vice -chair. The Council
reviews the administration of the Florida PRIME and Fund
B trust funds and makes recommendations regarding
such administration to the SBA Trustees. The fund
also undergoes independent annual financial audits,
performed by the Auditor General's Office.

PRIM
AN INVESTMENT SERVICE FOR PUBLIC FUNDS
During the two year period of 2015-2016, money market
funds wound their way through two interest rate increases
and the final implementation of SEC's money fund
reforms. As a result, there were significant shifts in assets
between government and prime money funds, with prime
institutional vehicles shedding a little over $1 trillion in
assets under management. The London interbank offered
rate (LIBOR) increased significantly over the 2015-16 time
frame, with 1- and 3-month rates rising from 17 to 77, and
25 to 100 bases points, respectively.
In December 2015, the Federal Reserve took its customary
two days to deliberate before releasing its decision to
lift rates off near zero for the first time in seven years.
One year later, the Fed increased the target range for
the federal funds rate to between 0.5 percent and 0.75
percent.
Florida PRIME successfully navigated the interest rate
environment during this period and experienced an
increase in assets, contradicting the larger decline among
regulated money funds. Florida PRIME maintained an
average thirty (30) day yield of 0.46 percent between
January 2015 to the end of December 2016. Florida PRIME
continues to hold high credit quality securities that
provide liquidity, diversification, and access to capital.
During the two year period of 2015-2016, the fund's assets
increased by approximately $2.7 billion, representing
a 34 percent increase in net asset value. As the pool's
participant yield roughly doubled during calendar year
2016, participant earnings grew rapidly and totaled $43.6
million for the year —a growth rate of 145 percent over the
2015 figure.
C
The primary document governing the investment
framework of Florida PRIME is its investment policy
statement, or "IPS." Section 218.409 (2), F.S., requires
an investment policy for Florida PRIME to be annually
updated to conform with best investment practices. The
investment policy must be reviewed by the Investment
Advisory Council (IAC) and the Participant Local
Government Advisory Council (PLGAC).
l ne pool's IPS has been updated annually to incorporate
industry best practices and maintain consistency with
revisions to the SEC's Rule 2a-7 requirements. Rule 2a-7
was established to limit the risks that money market
funds can take in an effort to provide investors safety of
principal and liquidity. Florida PRIME has maintained its
"2a-7-like" objective through strict risk controls attendant
to the pool's investment management practices.
In 2015, there were no changes made to the Florida
PRIME IPS. In 2016, the IPS was amended in order to:
1) strengthen the limitation on investments in illiquid
securities; 2) clarify that all portfolio assets are required to
be U.S. dollar -denominated; and 3) add clarifying language
and references throughout the document to conform with
the new GASB 79 guidelines covering 2a-7-like government
investment pools, as well as add clarifying language to
distinguish between Rule 2a-7 and GASB 79 requirements.

As the lowest -cost investment pool in the state, Florida
PRIME offers the best value for governmental investors,
with total fees that are a fraction of the cost of other
investment options. The all -in fees of Florida PRIME
are approximately one-fourth (1/4) those of its closest
in -state competitor, are by far the lowest of any similar
government investment pool ("GIP") in the State of
Florida. Florida PRIME's fees are lower than most other
GIPS nationwide and approximately only 1/10th the level
of other institutional monev market Products,
All investors are charged a uniform rate to participate in
Florida PRIME. At the end of calendar year 2016, the fee
charged to Florida PRIME investors was 2.86 basis points
(or 0.0286 percent) of account value. The rate changes
monthly to cover the cost of investment management,
security custody, accounting, wire/banking services, fund
record keeping, legal compliance, maintenance of a fund
rating, and fiduciary oversight of the investment pool by
the SBA. The actual pool fees charged to Florida PRIME
investors are disclosed in each Monthly Summary Report.
The SBA's portion of the fee is calculated based on the net -

Accordingto the most recent iMoneyNet1m report on GIPS,
the average total cost for all types of pools was 13.12

market funds was 6.25 basis points. These fee levels,
approaching two to four times the cost of Florida PRIME,
are roughly commensurate with other statewide GIPS

from 14 to 23 basis points depending on the specific level

Participant outreach and communications have been
formalized to consistently address and advance investor
interests. Since 2008, staff of both Federated Investors and
the SBA have attended conferences and various meetings
of local government associations and maintained
extensive dialogue with individual participants.
All communication efforts are evaluated for their
effectiveness and any recurring issues are documented
and evaluated by the SBA, Federated Investors, and the
P! GA!.
During 2015 and 2016, Federated staff, and less frequently
staff of the SBA, continued to attend various conferences,
continued sponsorships, and presentation of exhibits.
Federated continued formal participant outreach and has
applied financial resources towards promoting Florida
PRIME among existing and prospective participants.
One of the key investor reports is the Monthly
Summary Report (MSR). The MSR continues to provide
more information to its participants than any other
governmental investment pool within the state and goes
beyond the frequency and depth of disclosures required of
an SEC -registered 2a-7 money market fund.

items are distributed to participants regularly, including
monthly report summaries and other one-time disclosures
or news items affecting participant accounts. Frequently,

FLORIDA PRIME ISADEQUATELYDIVERSIFIED ACROSS ISSUERS WITHIN
THE SHORT-TERM BOND MARKET, AND ADEQUATE LIQUIDITYEXISTS TO
ADDRESS THE CASH FLOW OBLIGATIONS OF FLORIDA PRIME.
The SBA conducts annual surveys of Florida PRIME
participants to gain a better understanding of overall
investor satisfaction, gauge interest in various
enhancements contemplated for Florida PRIME, and
obtain information on investors' usage of the website and
other resources.
The 2016 participant survey attracted 73 respondents,
representing an approximate 10 percent response rate,
slightly lower than the level of survey completion achieved
for the 2015.survey,. A diversified group of governmental
units responded to both the 2015 and 2016 surveys,
ranging from colleges and universities, constitutional
officers, counties, municipalities, school boards, and
school districts, with approximately 64 percent indicating
that they employ less than 1,000 employees and 51
percent indicating a level of cash assets available for
short-term investment being greater than $10 million.
Respondents continued to provide strong feedback
related to the Florida PRIME website, with 76 percent
indicating that they visit the website at least once
a month, and 67 percent responding that they find
its functionality very easy to use and 32 percent of
respondents finding it somewhat easy to use. The survey
indicated that participants continue to utilize the website
primarily to access account balances and statements, to
make transactions and to access the Monthly Summary
Reports. Though phone representatives are seldom used,
customer service continues to receive strong feedback
with over 90 percent of respondents rating them very
courteous, knowledgeable and responsive.
The 2016 survey also posed questions related to how
and why participants utilize other competing and
complementary liquidity vehicles. The survey indicated
that the most commonly used vehicle in addition to
Florida PRIME are Certificates of Deposit offered by a
bank, with aporoximateiv 33 Dercent indicating their
use over the past 12 months, and consistent with
previous surveys, roughly 35 percent have also used
an SEC -registered money market fund (not offered by
Federated, Florida PRIME's investment manager). When
asked how competing investment services have added
value to the respondent organizations' investment
goals, 39 percent indicated that the yield level added
value and 27 percent indicated value was added
through offering other complimentary investment
vehicles to choose from.
When asked what is preventing an organization from
using Florida PRIME as the primary source of cash
management, 44 percent responded that a major
or moderate reason was an unattractive yield level;
however, 41 percent responded that the yield was not
a reason at all. Approximately 44 percent responded
that diversification needs of the cash portfolio were
a major or moderate reason for not utilizing Florida
PRIME as a primary source of cash, though 42 percent
also responded this was not a reason at all. Further,
approximately 84, 88 and 91 percent, respectively,
of respondents indicated that costs being too high,
participant disclosures not being adequate and poor
client service, respectfully, were not at all reasons for
not using Florida PRIME'" as a primary source of cash
management.
Overall, the survey results continue to be favorable
regarding the operational and service related
questions. Respondents indicated that they utilize the
website fairly frequently and find it easy to use. Further
respondents indicated the communications issued by
the SBA are mostly useful as well.

Since December 2007, Florida PRIME has maintained a
"AAAm" fund rating from Standard & Poor's (S&P). A Stan-
dard & Poor's Principal Stability fund rating, also known
as a money-market fund rating, is a current assessment of
a fund's capacity to maintain stable principal or net asset
value. Standard & Poor's conducts weekly surveillance of
the Florida PRIME portfolio and its ongoing investment
characteristics.
When assigning a Principal Stability rating to a fund, S&P
evaluates the creditworthiness of a fund's investments and
counter -parties, the market price exposure of its invest-
ments, sufficiency of the fund's portfolio liquidity, and
management's ability and policies to maintain the fund's
stable net asset value by limiting exposure to loss. S&P
believes, "funds that seek to maintain a stable net asset
value should be managed conservatively with well-defined
guidelines and investment policies (for example: within
SEC Rule 2a-7 guidelines) with regard to average maturity,
credit quality, and liquidity."
Principal Stability fund ratings reflect a fund's ability to
maintain principal stability and to limit exposure to losses
due to credit, market, and/or liquidity risks. The rating cat-
egories range from `AAAm' (extremely strong capacity to
maintain principal stability and to limit exposure to prin-
cipal losses due to credit, market, and/or liquidity risks) to
`Dm' (failure to maintain principal stability resulting in a re-
alized or unrealized loss of principal). The `m' distinguishes
the Principal Stability fund ratings from Standard & Poor's
traditional debt ratings.

The Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund is gov-
erned by Part IV of Chapter 2.18, Florida Statutes [see Ap-
pendix for full statutory content]. During fiscal years 2015
and 2016, Florida PRIME conducted statutorily required
annual certifications covering both its legal compliance,
as well as its investment practices. For the annual legal
compliance review, an external law firm (Lewis, Long-
man & Walker, PA) was tasked with evaluating the pool's
compliance with Sections 218.40 through 218.422, Florida
btatutes.
For the annual investment best practice review, an exter-
nal consultant (Hewitt EnnisKnupp) reported on the pool's
operations and investment procedures. The results and
reports were discussed at joint IAC and Council meetings
in June 2015.and June 2016, and are posted on the pool's
website.
The pool is also subject to external financial audit, per-
formed by the State of Florida Auditor General's office. The
annual financial audit, in accordance with Governmental
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller of the United
States, reports on the fairness of the presentation of the
financial statements prepared by the SBA. The Auditor
General reports on its consideration of the SBA's internal
control over financial reporting relating to Florida PRIME
and on compliance with certain provisions of laws, rules,
regulations, contracts, and other matters. The audits are
conducted in net positions. The most recent financial
audit, covering the 2016 fiscal year, was completed in
January 2017 and sent directly to each participant by the
Auditor General's office and posted on the Florida PRIME
website.

Over the last two years, the money market industry
continued to face challenges including the most recent
set of Rule 2a-7 reforms from the Securities & Exchange
Commission (SEC). The SEC's reforms were originally
approved in mid 2014 with a final implementation
deadline of October 2016. The 2014 changes include
some of the most significant amendments to Rule 2a-7
since the 1970's. including floating net asset values (NAV)
Tor prime ano munrcipai money market funds held by
institutional investors
As part of AON Hewitt's Best Practice reviews over the
last three years, continuing to stay apprised of Rule 2a-7
reforms was a key forward looking recommendation,
aimed at keeping participant needs and best interests at
the forefront of any future investment policy statement
or operational changes. Because Florida PRIME is a
government investment pool and is not legally required
to be operated as a registered money market fund, it
has the flexibility to adopt changes that are beneficial
to participants and reject any that are not. As a direct
result of the SEC money fund reforms, the industry
made numerous changes to fund offerings and portfolio
disclosures. Through its commitment to follow SEC
Rule 2a-7 cash management standards, Florida PRIME
has adopted many of the recent reforms and continues
to earn Standard & Poor's "AAAm" rating —the highest
quality rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
As a result of U.S. money market fund reforms, over
$1 trillion in money fund assets moved out of prime
funds and into government funds. Since late October
2015, prime institutional money market funds lost
M
approximately $861 billion in assets, primarily to
government money funds. Additionally, many prime
funds have been converted to government or other
types of money funds due to concerns about the risks
of liquidity fees and redemption gates now required by
prime institutional funds.
Fitch Ratings noted, "The substantial shrinking of
US prime money market fund assets and the shift to
government money funds as a result of US money fund
reform has resulted in significant changes in short-
term funding dynamics for global banks over the past
year. runding profiies have shifted in some banks, with
reduced commercial paper issuance and increased
secured funding from government money funds."
According to Fitch Ratings data, U.S. prime funds reduced
lending to banks and their affiliates globally by $775
billion between October 2015 and September 2016. By
the end of 2016, most prime funds began to stabilize their
asset flows and once again pursued typical portfolio
tactics such as extending maturities and minimizing
liquidity in order to increase portfolio yield.
According to iMoneyNet'" data, total US money market
fund assets ended calendar year 2016 with $2.696 trillion,
a year -over -year decline of 2.8 percent for all U.S. money-
market fund assets. At the end of the 2016 calendar year,
the top ten U.S. money fund investment organizations
included Fidelity, JPMorgan, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs,
Federated Investors, Charles Schwab, Dreyfus, Morgan
Stanley, SSGA, and Wells Fargo. The industry continues to
adjust to recently implemented rules and many pundits
are cautiously optimistic on the forward outlook for
regulatory easing.
AON HEW/TT INVESTMENT CONSULTING, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SBA
STAFF, COMPILES AN ANNUAL BEST PRACTICES REPORT THAT INCLUDES
A FULL REVIEW OF THE INVESTMENT POLICYSTATEMENT, OPERATIONAL
ITEMS, AND INVESTMENT STRUCTURE FOR FLORIDA PRIME.
18 1 PLGAC Biennial Report - 2017
En
The 2016 Best Practices Review by AON Hewitt included
recommendations to update Florida PRIME's investment
policy statement to reflect the requirements of the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB)
Statement No. 79 (detailed previously on Page 8,
"Investment Policies" section). These changes were
incorporated into the current Florida PRIME IPS, approved
by the SBA Trustees on August 2, 2016.
The PLGAC. SBA and Federated Investors have continued
to monitor various investment management and risk -
management issues that may affect Florida PRIME. At this
time, the PLGAC has only one operational or investment -
related recommendation for Florida PRIME. Since its
creation in fiscal year 2009, the PLGAC has achieved all of
its objectives, including providing guidance and oversight
for all of the pool's operations and investment activities.

Notably, the PLGAC has overseen exceptional growth in
assets under management. Since January 2009 through
December 2016, Florida PRIME's investment portfolio
increased by 86 percent, representing $4.9 billion in
net -asset -value growth. In addition to its strong financial
position, in September 2015 the legacy Fund B original
principal amount was returned in full to pool participants
alongside a significant proportion of the November
2007 interest earnings. In sum, Florida PRIME has been
strengthened over the last 8 years, leading to the most
competitive government investment pool in the State of

For these reasons, Council members support efforts to
discontinue the PLGAC while simultaneously maintaining
all current risk controls, investment policies, and

the PLGAC supports all efforts by SBA Trustees and staff
to amend relevant statutory provisions in order to ensure
the continued success of Florida PRIME in the future.

staff to address such impacts. The trustees shall provide quarterly a report to the Joint
Legislative Auditing Committee that the trustees have reviewed and approved the monthly
reports and actions taken, if any, to address any impacts.

activities during the reporting period have conformed to investment policies. Such reporting

management firm shall furnish upon request the details of an investment transaction to any
participant, the trustees, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant Local
Government Advisory Council.

advantages or disadvantages do not occur to parties making deposits or withdrawals on any
particular day. A statement of the market value and amortized cost of the portfolio shall be
issued to participants in conjunction with any deposits or withdrawals. In addition, this
information shall be reported monthly with the items in paragraph (a) to participants, the
trustees, the Investment Advisory Council, and the Participant Local Government Advisory
Council. The review of the investment portfolio, in terms of value and price volatility, shall be
performed with practices consistent with the GFOA Recommended Practice on "Mark -to -Market
Practices for State and Local Government Investment Portfolios and Investment Pools." In
defining market value, consideration shall be given to GASB Statement 31. Additional reporting

performance, investment holdings, amortized cost and market value of the trust fund, credit

(7) Costs incurred in carrying out the provisions of this part shall be deducted from the
interest earnings accruing to the trust fund. Such deductions shall be prorated among the
participant local governments in the percentage that each participant's deposits bear to the
total trust fund. The remaining interest earned shall be distributed monthly to participants
according to the amount invested. Except for costs, the board or a professional money
management firm may not transfer the interest or use the interest for any other purpose,
including, but not limited to, making up investment losses.
(8)(a) The principal, and any part thereof, of each and every account constituting the trust
fund shall be subject to payment at any time from the moneys in the trust fund. However, the
executive director may, in good faith, on the occurrence of an event that has a material

218.415 Local government investment policies. --Investment activity by a unit of local
government must be consistent with a written investment plan adopted by the governing body,
or in the absence of the existence of a governing body, the respective principal officer of the
unit of local government and maintained by the unit of local government or, in the alternative,
such activity must be conducted in accordance with subsection (17). Any such unit of local
government shall have an investment policy for any public funds in excess of the amounts
needed to meet current expenses as provided in subsections (1)-(16), or shall meet the
alternative investment guidelines contained in subsection (17). Such policies shall be structured
to place the highest priority on the safety of principal and liquidity of funds. The optimization
of investment returns shall be secondary to the requirements for safety and liquidity. Each unit
of local government shall adopt policies that are commensurate with the nature and size of the
public funds within its custody.
(1) SCOPE. --The investment policy shall apply to funds under the control of the unit of local
government in excess of those required to meet current expenses. The investment policy shall
not apply to pension funds, including those funds in chapters 175 and 185, or funds related to
the issuance of debt where there are other existing policies or indentures in effect for such
funds.
(2) INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES. --The investment policy shall describe the investment objectives
of the unit of local government. Investment objectives shall include safety of capital, liquidity
of funds, and investment income, in that order.
(3) PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT. --The investment policy shall specify performance measures
as are appropriate for the nature and size of the public funds within the custody of the unit of
local government.
(4) PRUDENCE AND ETHICAL STANDARDS. --The investment policy shalt describe the level of
prudence and ethical standards to be followed by the unit of local government in carrying out
its investment activities with respect to funds described in this section. The unit of local
government shall adopt the Prudent Person Rule, which states that: "Investments should be
made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of
prudence, discretion, and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for
speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the
probable income to be derived from the investment."
(5) LISTING OF AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS. --The investment policy shall list investments
authorized by the governing body of the unit of local government, subject to the provisions of
subsection (16). Investments not listed in the investment policy are prohibited. If the policy
authorizes investments in derivative products, the policy must require that the unit of local
government's officials responsible for making investment decisions or chief financial officer
have developed sufficient understanding of the derivative products and have the expertise to
manage them. For purposes of this subsection, a "derivative" is defined as a financial
instrument the value of which depends on, or is derived from, the value of one or more
underlying assets or index or asset values. If the policy authorizes investments in reverse
repurchase agreements or other forms of leverage, the policy must limit the investments to
transactions in which the proceeds are intended to provide liquidity and for which the unit of
local government has sufficient resources and expertise.
(6) MATURITY AND LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS. --The investment policy shall require that the
investment portfolio is structured in such manner as to provide sufficient liquidity to pay
obligations as they come due. To that end, the investment policy should direct that, to the
extent possible, an attempt will be made to match investment maturities with known cash
needs and anticipated cash -flow requirements.
(7) PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION. --The investment policy shall establish guidelines for investments
and limits on security issues, issuers, and maturities. Such guidelines shall be commensurate
with the nature and size of the public funds within the custody of the unit of local government.
(8) RISK AND DIVERSIFICATION. --The investment policy shall provide for appropriate
diversification of the investment portfolio. Investments held should be diversified to the extent
practicable to control the risk of loss resulting from overconcentration of assets in a specific
maturity, issuer, instrument, dealer, or bank through which financial instruments are bought
and sold. Diversification strategies within the established guidelines shall be reviewed and
revised periodically, as deemed necessary by the appropriate management staff.
(9) AUTHORIZED INVESTMENT INSTITUTIONS AND DEALERS. --The investment policy should
specify the authorized securities dealers, issuers, and banks from whom the unit of local
government may purchase securities.
(10) THIRD -PARTY CUSTODIAL AGREEMENTS. --The investment policy shall provide appropriate
arrangements for the holding of assets of the unit of local government. Securities should be
held with a third party; and all securities purchased by, and all collateral obtained by, the unit
of local government should be properly designated as an asset of the unit of local government.
No withdrawal of securities, in whole or in part, shall be made from safekeeping, except by an
authorized staff member of the unit of local government. Securities transactions between a
broker -dealer and the custodian involving purchase or sale of securities by transfer of money or
securities must be made on a "delivery vs. payment" basis, if applicable, to ensure that the
custodian will have the security or money, as appropriate, in hand at the conclusion of the
transaction.
(11) MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT. --The investment policy shall require all approved
institutions and dealers transacting repurchase agreements to execute and perform as stated in
the Master Repurchase Agreement. All repurchase agreement transactions shall adhere to the
requirements of the Master Repurchase Agreement.
(12) BID REQUIREMENT. --The investment policy shall require that the unit of local
government's staff determine the approximate maturity date based on cash -flow needs and
market conditions, analyze and select one or more optimal types of investment, and
competitively bid the security in question when feasible and appropriate. Except as otherwise
required by law, the bid deemed to best meet the investment objectives specified in
subsection (2) must be selected.
(13) INTERNAL CONTROLS. --The investment policy shall provide for a system of internal
controls and operational procedures. The unit of local government's officials responsible for
making investment decisions or chief financial officer shall establish a system of internal
controls which shall be in writing and made a part of the governmental entity's operational
procedures. The investment policy shall provide for review of such controls by independent
auditors as part of any financial audit periodically required of the unit of local government.
The internal controls should be designed to prevent losses of funds which might arise from
fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, or imprudent actions by employees
of the unit of local government.
(14) CONTINUING EDUCATION. --The investment policy shall provide for the continuing
education of the unit of local government's officials responsible for making investment
decisions or chief financial officer. Such officials must annually complete 8 hours of continuing
education in subjects or courses of study related to investment practices and products.
(15) REPORTING. --The investment policy shall provide for appropriate annual or more frequent
reporting of investment activities. To that end, the governmental entity's officials responsible
for making investment decisions or chief financial officer shall prepare periodic reports for
submission to the legislative and governing body of the unit of local government, which shall
include securities in the portfolio by class or type, book value, income earned, and market
value as of the report date. Such reports shall be available to the public.
(16) AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS; WRITTEN INVESTMENT POLICIES. --Those units of local
government electing to adopt a written investment policy as provided in subsections (1)-(15)
may by resolution invest and reinvest any surplus public funds in their control or possession in:

investment company or investment trust is limited to obligations of the United States
Government or any agency or instrumentality thereof and to repurchase agreements fully
collateralized by such United States Government obligations, and provided that such
investment company or investment trust takes delivery of such collateral either directly or
through an authorized custodian.

(i) Other investments authorized by law or by resolution for a school district or a special
district.

management firm may not transfer the interest or use the interest for any other purpose,

portfolio and the individual transactions executed over the last month. This management
summary shall be prepared in a manner that will allow anyone to ascertain whether investment
activities during the reporting period have conformed to investment policies. Such reporting
shall be in conformance with best market practices.

of an investment transaction to any participant, the trustees, the Investment Advisory Council,
