Staff recommends that the City Council receive, approve and file the City of Hawthorne’s Investment Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 of FY 24-25. 

Investment Report for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 is attached. This report indicates the cash and investments held by the reporting entity and the rate of return on the investments.

Because of the seasonal nature of the city’s revenues (thus making short-term availability and liquidity of funds being extremely important), the city has for many years invested its funds with the State of CA administered Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF).  Multi Bank Securities (MBS) are invested in CD’s using a ladder strategy.    The City Treasurer shall continue this strategy, reinvesting funds that come due into new 3-5 year CD’s. Cash held by the fiscal agents are for future debt service on bonds, and these funds are invested pursuant to investment agreements entered into when the bonds were originally issued.
