The City Council <br /> Finance Committee will review and approve all changes to this policy statement prior to submittal <br /> to the full City Council for approval. <br /> California Government Code Section 53646 requires the Finance Director to submit a quarterly <br /> report on the status of the City's investment portfolio to the City Manager and the City Council <br /> within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter. The report will provide detailed information <br /> regarding the type of investments, the amount invested with various institutions, purchase and <br /> maturity dates, and interest yield on all investments. The report shall state if the city's investments <br /> are in compliance with this policy and if the City will be able to meet its cash obligations during the <br /> next six -month period. The Finance Director, on occasion, will submit monthly reports on the <br /> portfolio's status to the City Manager and City Council that are consistent with the requirements of <br /> the State Code. <br /> Page 7 of 12 <br />
