Analysis

The City's Investment Policy is reviewed each year for necessary revisions to operational procedures, staffing changes and/or new state/federal regulations.  Government Treasurers' Organization of Texas (GTOT) also reviews investment policies and has awarded the Certificate of Distinction to the City for maintaining a comprehensive, written investment policy that adheres to State Law.

 

Staff recommends no changes to the City's Investment Policy except for it to be approved by the City Council.  The Finance and Government Committee reviewed the policies at the October 13, 2015 meeting and recommends adoption of the current policy without revision.
