SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
Department: FINANCE
Prepared by: Cindy Mosser, e City Manager Approval:
Finance Director
SUBJECT: INVESTMENT REPORT FOR APRIL 2009
RECOMMENDATION: ACCEPT INVESTMENT REPORT FOR THE MONTH ENDING
APRIL 2009, 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. Services provided by MBIA include updating our investment policy
annually, cash flow administration, and procurement of various instruments using MBIA's market
expertise (aligned with our needs). In addition, MBIA 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 April report contains information regarding the MBIA managed operating funds, excluding our
West America checking account, which had a balance of $4,762,171 at month end. The MBIA 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
in late April and announced it would keep the federal funds target between 0.00 and 0.25
percent. While there are some subtle signs of reduced pressure on the economy, slow growth
remains evident in the remaining quarters of 2009. Businesses are still struggling. Retail sales
fell a rather sharp 1.1 percent in March. While there is not a lot of good news, there are some

signs that things are stabilizing and some economists believe the United States may be poised
for a rebound toward the end of 2009 or early 2010.
❖ Page 5 — 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 6 - Reflects Maturity Distribution - Historically, San Rafael has invested conservatively.
Approximately, eighty-nine percent of our operating cash funds are held to mature in less than
one year (April 2010). Seventy-nine percent of the total invested cash matures within 90 days
(again, the LAIF pool accounting for most of these dollars). Approximately four percent of our
portfolio has maturities extending beyond two years.
❖ Individual security information is presented on the "Securities Held" (pages 7 through U.
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 (page 11) and transactions (page 12) are presented on separate
pages. This includes LAIF deposits and withdrawals for operating funds. Transactions for April
2009 included one U.S. instrumentality maturity - FFCB and one U.S. instrumentality call -
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). In April, we received 40 percent of the City's property tax assessments.
❖ The last page provides a Schedule of Upcoming Maturities. This provides management an
opportunity to fill holes in the cash flow cycles and replace maturing instruments as appropriate.
Our LAIF balance for March ended with a balance of $4,762,171. Portfolio returns on LAIF dollars
should be about 1.56 percent for April 2009. The percentage of investments held one year or less is
89.6 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.
