Staff Report & Agenda Item Details

RESOLUTION 24-11 — PUBLIC FUNDS INVESTMENT POLICY Kate Leverett, Germer PLLC - The Public Funds Investment Act requires you to do an Annual review. Generally, they do an annual review but unless there are changes it doesn’t come back to the Board it stays basically the same. This year there were some changes to the Public Funds Investment Act but they were minor, so this is just updating your policy so it is in compliance and I am asking for you all to approve it. Secretary Hankamer — So there was a change in what is mandated? Kate Leverett, Germer PLLC - Correct. Chapter 2256 of the Public Funds Investment Act is how you have to invest your funds. You have your Depository and they are the ones investing it. The Depository likes a copy to show that you all have it on file. They are very familiar with how your funds are going to be invested. So you just have to have it on file to show you are in compliance. Director Nicely, made a Motion to approve Resolution 24-11 updating the Public Funds Investment Policy. The motion was seconded by Director Rayburn and it passed by unanimous vote. I. DRAINAGE REPORT: Amos Roy reported on Drainage.
