Analysis
The City's Investment Policy is reviewed at least annually in accordance with State Law, Public Funds Investment Act of Texas (PFIA), or as deemed appropriate through other circumstances.
The scope of the City's amended investment policies will apply to investments of the Sports Corp, unless otherwise indicated. However, the investments for the Sports Corp will be separately and discretely managed apart from City funds.
The substantive sections that have changed for the City include:
Updating the policy with law and title changes
Eliminating a couple of the more complicated investing options, deeming them not suitable for city funds.
Adjusted the strategy regarding interest rates and cash flow-prioritizing liquidity and not attempting to ‘play’ the market.
Extended out the maximum investment time frame for funds like the Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund as liquidity is not an issue.
Financial Consideration
There is no financial impact.
