SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: FINANCE
Prepared by: Van Bach City Manager Approval: ,
Accounting Supervisor
SUBJECT: INVESTMENT REPORT FOR FEBRUARY 2011
RECOMMENDATION: ACCEPT INVESTMENT REPORT FOR THE MONTH ENDING
FEBRUARY 2011, AS PRESENTED
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to the State of California Government Code Section 53601, staff is required to provide the
governing body a report regarding the City's investment activities. Each month the Finance
Department prepares a report outlining the major investments for the preceding month. Included on
the report are the cost of each instrument, the interest rates (yield), maturity dates, and market value.
Separate schedules are prepared for both the City and Redevelopment Agency.
Beginning in January 2005, the City established a contract with MBIA to administer cash management
services to a portion of our portfolio. In February 2010, MBIA restructured its fixed-income asset
management subsidiary and changed their name to Cutwater Asset Management (Cutwater), Services
provided by Cutwater include updating our investment policy annually, cash flow administration, and
procurement of various instruments using Cutwater's market expertise (aligned with our needs). In
addition, Cutwater prepares a comprehensive monthly investment report that meets not only required
reporting information required by State law, but can be used as an asset management tool.
The February report contains information regarding the Cutwater managed operating funds, excluding
our West America checking account, which had a balance of $2,061,743 at month end. The Cutwater
reports provide a fair amount of detail. I am highlighting those pages that the community and Council
might find most useful and informative.
ANALYSIS:
I will summarize elements of the key pages contained as an attachment with this report.
Page 2 — Review of fixed income securities market —The Federal Open Market Committee met
on January 26t and kept the fed funds target rate at between zero and 0.25 percent and
indicated that it will likely remain there throughout 2011. The February jobs report was
encouraging. Payrolls increased in the private sector while the public sector shrank slightly.
Sales of existing homes in the U.S. increased the highest level in eight months. New home

sales fell and home construction will likely remain weak due to elevated foreclosure rates, high
unemployment, and tight lending standards.
❖ Page 6 — Recap of Securities Held — This page summarizes all of our operating funds. The
chart shows a majority of our investments are in U.S. instrumentalities. Most of the City's liquid
funds are held in the State of California LAIF pool, which is used as a daily account for
withdrawals and deposits. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded only at fiscal year end for
accounting purposes.
❖ Page 7 - Reflects Maturity Distribution - Historically, San Rafael has invested conservatively.
Approximately, ninety eight percent of our operating cash funds are held to mature in less than
one year (February'2012). Eighty-nine percent of the total invested cash matures within 90
days (again, the LAIF pool accounting for most of these dollars).
•3 Individual security information is presented on the "Securities Held" (pages 8). Specific
information is presented to show interest coupon rates, cost and fair values, earned income and
projected net yields. Acquiring diversified instruments with varying maturity dates allows the
market values to stay close to historical cost.
Purchases (page 10), sales (Pape 11) and transactions (page 12) are presented on separate
pages. This includes LAIF deposits and withdrawals for operating funds. Transaction for
February included a U.S. Instrumentality maturity-FHLMC. LAIF activity reflects the need to
move cash around as large receipts are deposited (monthly sales tax payments) and expenses
are incurred (weekly vendor payments and semi-monthly payroll
❖ The last page provides a Schedule of Upcoming Maturities and Cash Activities. This provides
management an opportunity to fill holes in the cash flow cycles and replace maturing
instruments as appropriate.
Our LAIF balance for February ended with a balance of $27,030,970. Portfolio returns on LAIF dollars
should be about 0.47 percent for February 2011. The percentage of investments held one year or less
is 98.4 percent at month end. By our own policy, this level of liquidity is adequate to cover our cash
flow, projections in the coming months.
The City is well placed and diversified in the market for the coming months. By continuing our practice
of diversifying into various agencies with different maturity dates, the City's portfolio is strengthened
against both credit and market risk.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No financial impact occurs by adopting the report. The City continues to meet the priority principles of
investing - safety, liquidity and yield in this respective order. The portfolio remains conservatively
invested. Sufficient liquidity exists to meet daily operating and capital project requirements for the next
six months. Operating funds, as defined for this report, exclude cash held with fiscal agents for the
payment of bond principal and interest.
OPTIONS/ACTION REQUIRED:
The City Council should adopt the report as presented in order to satisfy current State Investment
Code requirements and City policy.
