The policy is approved annually and there are proposed updates for the <br />policy for 2012 -13. <br />BACKGROUND <br />California Government Code Section 53600 et seq. and Section VIII of the San Leandro <br />Investment Policy requires the City Council to annually review and approve the City's <br />Investment Policy. This policy was last adopted on June 20, 2011. <br />The City of San Leandro Investment Policy (Investment Policy) provides specific guidelines for <br />the City's investment management functions and remains in compliance with the model policy <br />approved by the Association of Public Treasurers of the U.S. and Canada and California <br />Government Code Section 53601. The Investment Policy serves as a guide for setting and <br />achieving investment objectives, defines rules and established benchmarks, prohibits and /or <br />restricts investment instruments and reduces exposure to liability of both staff and Council. <br />Compliance with the policy is an element of fiscal discipline considered by the auditors and <br />rating agencies during their respective reviews. <br />Staff has reviewed the current policy and has seven recommended changes for 2012 -13. In <br />addition, state legislation has been reviewed to determine if there have been any updates or <br />changes to state law that should be reflected in the City's policy and there are none. Should <br />the legislature take such action in 2012 -13, then staff will return to Council with the necessary <br />recommended changes. <br />1. Page 2, II. Policy Scope - The recommended change is to include the phrase <br />"Successor Agency to the" Redevelopment Agency due to the dissolution of RDA. <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 711012012 <br />
