Reason for Recommended Action/Background

Government Code Section 53646 provides that the County Treasurer (presently Chief Financial Officer) may render to the Board of Supervisors and any oversight committee a statement of investment policy, which the Board shall review and approve at a public meeting. The attached policy statement (Att. A - 2018 Investment Policy Clean Draft) was distributed to, and reviewed by, the Financial Oversight Committee during the November 14, 2017 meeting. The policy is now being submitted to the Board for approval.

Revisions are highlighted in (Att. B - 2018 Investment Policy Redlined Draft). There are currently no significant regulatory or legislative changes affecting the County's investment authority that are effective for the 2018 calendar year, therefore the changes to the policy are primarily for clarification and consistency purposes in the policy.
 

Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies)

The Policy was reviewed by the Financial Oversight Committee during the November 14, 2017 meeting. The Policy was also discussed and reviewed by the County's Investment Advisor, PFM.
