GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
Adopt Resolution No. OC SAN 24-XX entitled: “A Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Orange County Sanitation District Authorizing Investment of Monies in the State of California’s Treasurer’s Office Local Agency Investment Fund; and Repealing Resolution No. 95-15”.
body
BACKGROUND
California Government Code created a Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) in the State Treasury for the deposit of money of a local agency for purposes of investment by the State Treasurer. The Board of Directors adopted a resolution authorizing the deposit and withdrawal of money in LAIF for the purposes of investment. LAIF requires a Board-approved resolution authorizing the individuals who are entitled to make deposits and withdrawals from the LAIF accounts.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure the public’s money is wisely spent
PROBLEM
Resolution No. 95-15 is the current Resolution on file with the State Treasurer’s Office, which is outdated due to name changes and titles that no longer exist.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Update the names and titles of persons authorized to make deposits and withdrawals on the Orange County Sanitation District’s (OC San) LAIF account.
TIMING CONCERNS
At this time, OC San cannot add additional authorized persons to make deposits and withdrawals on OC San’s LAIF account because the appropriate names and titles are not listed on OC San’s LAIF Resolution.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
OC San’s Investment Policy lists LAIF investment pool as a suitable investment instrument. Not updating the names and titles of persons authorized to make deposits and withdrawals on OC San’s LAIF account may affect OC San’s ability to invest in LAIF.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
February 1995 - Adopted Resolution No. 95-15, Authorizing Investment of Monies into the Local Agency Investment Fund.
