I
I
$ 500 Overhead expense
$100,000 Total
K
Helicopter Services
The City has agreed to continue its participation in the regional helicopter program. This
participation will cost $37,500 for helicopter services from the City of El Monte, and an
additional $250 for supplies.
Evidence Room Security
The Department needs to upgrade the existing alarm and access control systems in the evidence
room. This upgrade will provide for local monitoring and eliminate the need for an outside
vendor to monitor the system. Moreover, the overall security of the evidence room will be
enhanced.
Police Rifle Conversion (Phase II and III)
The Department's Firearms staff has recommended and the Chief has approved conversion to a
U.S. made rifle for patrol purposes. This is a three phase project and the $17,000 listed above is
to implement phase two and three; phase two, retrofit police cars with appropriate gun locking
system and phase three, purchase slings, magazines and ammunition for training. Phase I will be
accomplished using carry-over funds (see below).
Evidence Room Furniture
The Department's evidence room has been streamlined with an electronic management system
and a new property, evidence and crime scene technician has been hired. The procurement of
new furniture will provide for a work station to be installed in the evidence room proper.
Hirsch Identification Card (I.D.)Printer
The Police Department's I.D. printer that is compatible with our Hirsch access door control
system is inoperable and in need of replacement.
First Aid Supplies for Patrol Cars
The first aid products in patrol cars are in regular need of replacement or rotation.
Homicide Conference
Two detectives will be selected to attend an annual California Homicide Investigator's
Association (CHIA) conference to learn the latest homicide trends and investigative techniques.
2
SWAT Conference
A SWAT team commander or supervisor will be selected to attend the annual National Tactical
Officer's Association (NTOA) conference to remain current with the law, training and trends as
they pertain to tactical teams.
e ,�
Booking Room Flooring and Chair
Theljail's booking room floor is in poor condition and needs to be replaced. A professional
flooring company will be selected to install appropriate flooring for the required use. Also, a
second work station chair is needed for the booking room.
Ov rhead Expenses
I
Thel COPS Grant stipulates that overhead (administrative) expenses are allowable in the amount
of.5% ($500).
i
I
` Carryover from F/Y 10/11: $103,750
$27,000 Security camera system
$25,250 Unmarked gang unit and conversion
$20,000 Mobile digital computers (MDCs) in police vehicles
$12,950 Enterprise vehicle Lease
$ 9,950 Police rifle conversion Colt M4 rifles
$ 8.600 Lexipol policy manual updates & daily training bulletins
$103,750 Total
Sec iritv Camera System
'I
The Police Department will procure and install a new security camera and panic alarm system to
replace the leased camera and panic alarm system currently in place. The Police Department is
under a "rolling" annual contract with a local vendor to lease a security camera, burglar and
panic alarm system. The annual cost for this service is $16,380 and does not include digital
storage or internet viewing; however, the new system will provide for both and will eliminate the
need for a costly annual service contract.
Unmarked Gane Unit and Conversion
The Gang Specialist Unit (GSU) has been very successful in their gang and tagging enforcement
efforts. They are provided two unmarked cars for patrol use, but one is an older converted
marked police car, which is in need of replacement. A new vehicle will provide for increased
safety and longevity compared to using converted high mile marked police cars.
I
3
Mobile Digital Computers (MDCs)
The Police Department identified replacing the aged MDCs as a top priority and adopted a three
phase plan. Phase two is nearing completion and 20 new MDCs have been deployed in the field.
These funds will be used in conjunction with JAG 2011 funds to complete Phase III, which will
provide MDCs for the remaining four vehicles and three spares.
Enterprise Vehicle Lease
The Department will continue to lease three vehicles for the patrol lieutenants through Enterprise
Fleet Services.
Police Rifle Conversion (Phase I)
As stated above, the Police Department is going to convert to a U.S. made rifle for patrol use and
will trade in the existing inventory of German made rifles to accomplish Phase I; that is, trade in
20 H&K G36 rifles and purchase 19 Colt M4 rifles. The former rifle is no longer manufactured
and it has become extremely difficult to purchase replacement parts and spare magazines.
Lexipol Policy Manual Updates & Daily Training Bulletins
The Azusa Police Department continues to use the Lexipol police policy manual. The Lexipol
product corresponds with the Department's vision for a more professional, accountable and well
trained police agency. The costs associated with continued modifications, revisions and training
from Lexipol LLC is outlined above.
The exact amounts in each category are subject to change due to fluctuations in pricing. All
funds shall be expended for supplemental front line law enforcement services only, as provided
by law and mandated by grant guidelines.
FISCAL IMPACT
The items contained in this report have been preliminarily approved in the 2011-2012 budget and
the proposed expenditures will not utilize any general funds.

lA No.2 of CFD No.2005-1 (Rosedale) Page 2
III. AMENDED AND RESTATED RATE AND METHOD OF APPORTIONMENT OF
THE SPECIAL TAX
All of the taxable property located within IA No. 2, unless exempted by law or by the Amended
and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment for IA No. 2, shall be taxed for the purpose of
providing facilities and services authorized to be financed by CFD No. 2005-1. Pursuant to
Section 53325.3 of the Act, the tax imposed "is a special tax and not a special assessment, and
there is no requirement that the tax be apportioned on the basis of benefit to any property." The
Special Tax "may be based on benefit received by parcels of real property, the cost of making
facilities or authorized services available to each parcel, or other reasonable basis as determined
by the legislative body," although the Special Tax may not be apportioned on an ad valorem
basis pursuant to Article XIIIA of the California Constitution.
As shown in Exhibit A, the Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment for IA
No. 2 provides information sufficient to allow each property owner within IA No. 2 to estimate
the maximum annual Special Tax he or she will be required to pay. Sections A through E,
below, provide additional information on the Amended and Restated Rate and Method of
Apportionment for IA No. 2.
A. Explanation for Special Tax Apportionment
Two separate Special Tax rates have been established for IA No. 2. The Special Tax A
shall be levied on Taxable Property within IA No. 2 each fiscal year to finance the Special
Tax Requirement for Facilities. Additionally, the Special Tax B shall be levied on
Developed and Undeveloped Property within IA No. 2 each fiscal year to finance the
Special Tax Requirement for Services.
Six Land Use Classes have been established for Zone 1 of IA No. 2. Residential Property
in Zone 1 of IA No. 2 will be assigned to Land Use Classes 1 through 5 based on the size
of the home. Non-Residential Property in Zone 1 of IA No. 2 will be assigned to Land Use
Class 6 and the special tax will be determined based on the acreage of the Assessor's
Parcel.
Four Land Use Classes have been established for Zone 2 of IA No. 2. Residential Property
in Zone 2 of IA No. 2 will be assigned to Land Use Classes 1 through 3 based on the size
of the home. Non-Residential Property in Zone 2 of IA No. 2 will be assigned to Land Use
Class 4 and the special tax will be determined based on the acreage of the Assessor's
Parcel.
B. Maximum Special Tax Rates
The Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied against Developed Property within each
zone of IA No. 2 is described in Section C of the Amended and Restated Rate and Method
of Apportionment for IA No. 2.
City of Azusa November 15,2011

i
. Each year, commencing in fiscal year 2012-2013, the Special Tax A and Special Tax B
shall be levied subject to the methodology and Maximum Special Taxes set forth in the
Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment, in an amount sufficient to
meet the Special Tax Requirement for Facilities and the Special Tax Requirement for
Services, respectively. Prior to fiscal year 2012-2013, the Special Tax A and Special Tax
1 B were levied subject to the methodology and Maximum Special Taxes set forth in the
original Rate And Method of Apportionment for IA No. 2.
I
Ci. Backup Special Tax A
All of the requirements of Section D of the Amended and Restated Rate and Method of
Apportionment, which describes the need for a Backup Special Tax A payment resulting
from a change in development, shall only apply after the issuance of the first series of
Bonds. Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, no Backup Special Tax A
calculation shall be necessary and no Backup Special Tax A payment shall be required.
Prior to the issuance of a Post-Bond Certificate of Occupancy for an Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property, the CFD Administrator shall make a determination of whether or not a
Backup Special Tax A payment is required for the Planning Area in which such property is
located. The CFD Administrator shall charge a fee for providing this determination and
shall follow the steps as described in Section D of the Amended and Restated Rate and
Method of Apportionment.
D. One-Time Special Tax
Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a residential dwelling unit, the CFD
Administrator shall make a one-time determination of whether or not a One-Time Special
Tax payment is required for such dwelling unit. The CFD Administrator shall charge a fee
for providing this determination.
A One-Time Special Tax payment shall be paid by the builder of a residential dwelling unit
if the Total Tax and Assessment Obligation is expected to be greater than two percent
(2.0%) of the Value of such residential dwelling unit. The amount of the One-Time
Special Tax for such residential dwelling unit shall be an amount sufficient to reduce the
Total Tax and Assessment Obligation to two percent (2.0%) of the Value of such
residential dwelling unit.
If the Total Tax and Assessment Obligation for a residential dwelling unit is expected to be
less than or equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Value of such residential dwelling unit, no
One-Time Special Tax will be required.

D. BACKUP SPECIAL TAX A
All of the requirements of this Section D,which describes the need for a Backup Special Tax
A payment resulting from a change in development,shall only apply after the issuance of the
first series of Bonds. Prior to the issuance of the first series of Bonds, no Backup Special
Tax A calculation shall be necessary and no Backup Special Tax A payment shall be
required.
I
Prior to the issuance of a Post-Bond Certificate of Occupancy for an Assessor's Parcel of
Developed Property (the "Subject Property"), the CFD Administrator shall make a
determination of whether or not a Backup Special Tax A payment is required for the
City of Azusa October 24,2011
1A No. 2 of CFD No. 2005-1 (Rosedale) Page 10
Planning Area in which the Subject Property is located. The CFD Administrator shall charge
a fee for providing this determination and shall follow the steps listed below.
Step No.:
1. Required Special Tax A Revenues
As of the date of the issuance of any series of Bonds, the Required Special
Tax A Revenues for IA No. 2 shall be esiablished to equal (i) 1.1 times the
discounted maximum annual gross debt service for all Outstanding Bonds
(including those Bonds currently being issued, if any), which shall be
computed by determining the Fiscal Year in which occurs the maximum
aggregate annual gross debt service for all Bonds and discounting that
amount from such Fiscal Year to the current Fiscal Year using a discount rate
reflecting the actual rate of increase(if any)of the debt service on the Bonds,
plus (ii) anticipated Administrative Expenses in the next Fiscal Year. The
CFD Administrator shall allocate such Required Special Tax A Revenues to
each Planning Area based on the current Expected Special Tax A Revenues
and identify such allocation in the records of IA No. 2. Such allocation shall
remain valid except as adjusted under 1.(a) or L(b) below:
(a) On each July 1, the Required Special Tax A Revenues for
each Planning Area shall be increased by an amount equal to
the annual percentage increase in the debt service on the
Bonds.
(b) The CFD Administrator shall reduce the Required Special
Tax A Revenues for any Planning Area as necessary to reflect
reduced revenues required as a result of a Backup Special Tax
A payment, One-Time Special Tax payment, or prepayment
made with respect to an Assessor's Parcel in such Planning
Area.
2. Expected Special Tax A Revenues
Prior to the issuance of a Post-Bond Certificate of Occupancy for the Subject
Property,the CFD Administrator shall estimate the Expected Special Tax A
Revenues that will be generated at buildout of the Planning Area in which the
Subject Property is located based on the Maximum Special Tax A rates then
in effect and the current development plan for such Planning Area based on
building permits issued to date,expected building permits to be issued in the
future, and all other relevant development information available to the CFD
Administrator.
3. Determination of Need for Backup Special Tax
If the CFD Administrator determines that the Expected Special Tax A
City ojAzusa October 24, 2011
1A No. 2 of CFD No. 2005-1 (Rosedale) Page 11
I
Revenues that will be generated at buildout in the Planning Area in which the
Subject Property is located are less than such Planning Area's Required
Special Tax A Revenues (as adjusted to the date of calculation), then a
Backup Special Tax A payment will be required for such Planning Area.
However, if it is determined that the Expected Special Tax A Revenues are
greater than or equal to the Planning Area's Required Special Tax A
Revenues(as adjusted to the date of calculation),then no Backup Special Tax
_ A payment will be required.
I
4. Calculation of Backup Special Tax
If a Backup Special Tax A payment is required pursuant to step 3 above,such
payment shall equal that Prepayment Amount calculated pursuant to Section
I
K.3.
5. Payment
The Backup Special Tax A computed under this section shall be paid by the
owner of the Subject Property prior to the issuance of the Certificate of
Occupancy for the Subject Property.
E. ONE-TIME SPECIAL TAX
Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for a residential dwelling unit, the CFD
Administrator shall make a one-time determination of whether or not a One-Time Special
Tax payment is required for such dwelling unit. The CFD Administrator shall charge a fee
for providing this determination.
A One-Time Special Tax payment shall be paid by the Builder for a residential dwelling unit
if the Total Tax and Assessment Obligation is expected to be greater than two percent
(2.00%) of the Value for such residential dwelling unit. The amount of the One-Time
Special Tax,for such residential dwelling unit shall equal that Partial Prepayment Amount
calculated pursuant to Section K.2 which shall be sufficient to reduce the Total Tax and
Assessment Obligation to two percent (2.00%) of the Value for such residential dwelling
unit.
If the Total Tax and Assessment Obligation for a residential dwelling unit is expected to be
less than or equal to two percent (2.00%) of the Value of such residential dwelling unit, no
One-Time Special Tax will be required.
F. SPECIAL TAX REDUCTION
Any Special Tax Reduction determined pursuant to this section will not apply to dwelling
units for which One-Time Special Tax calculations were prepared prior to the date of the
Price Point Study, whether or not such calculations resulted in a One-Time Special Tax
payment.

Administrator shall calculate a revised Maximum Special Tax A for such Land
Use Class, which revised Maximum Special Tax A shall be the highest amount
(rounded to the nearest whole dollar) that will not cause the Total Tax and
Assessment Obligation for any Plan Type in such Land Use Class to exceed
2.00% of the Price Point for such Plan Type. The amount of the change in the
Maximum Special Tax A for a particular Land Use Class is not required to be
proportional to changes in the Maximum Special Tax A made for other Land Use
Classes.

The obligation of an Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A may be prepaid and
permanently satisfied as described herein;provided that a prepayment may be made only
for Assessor's Parcels of Developed Property or Undeveloped Property for which a
building permit has been issued, and only if there are no delinquent Special Taxes with
respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's
Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax A obligation shall provide the CFD
Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 30 days of receipt of such
written notice,the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount
of such Assessor's Parcel. The CFD Administrator may charge a reasonable fee for
providing this service. Prepayment must be made not less than 45 days prior to the next
occurring date that notice of redemption of Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment
may be given to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below
(capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Future Facilities Amount
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit

been issued, compute the Maximum Special Tax A for that Assessor's Parcel as
though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the building
permit which has already been issued for that Assessor's Parcel.
3. Divide the Maximum Special Tax A computed pursuant to paragraph 2 by the total
estimated Maximum Special Tax A for the entire IA No. 2 based on the Developed
Property Special Tax A which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year on all
expected development through buildout of IA No. 2, excluding any Assessor's
Parcels which have been prepaid.

pursuant to paragraph 6 to compute the amount of Future Facilities Costs to be
prepaid (the "Future Facilities Amount").
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount from
the first bond interest and/or principal payment date following the current Fiscal Year
until the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.

t
10. Compute the minimum amount the CFD Administrator reasonably expects to derive
from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Amount
and the Administrative Fees and Expenses from the date of prepayment until the
redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
11. Add the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs 8 and 9 and subtract the amount
computed pursuant to paragraph 10 (the 'Defeasance Amount").

I
13. The reserve fund credit ("Reserve Fund Credit") shall equal the lesser of: (a) the
expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any,
associate with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment,or
(b)the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement(as defined in the
iIndenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the
prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no

fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the "Capitalized Interest
Credit").
15. The Special Tax A prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant

11, 13 and 14 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as established under the
Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds or make debt service payments.
The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 7 shall be deposited into the
Improvement Fund. The amount computed pursuant to paragraph 12 shall be
retained by IA No. 2.
The Special Tax A Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a$5,000
increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment above $5,000 or integral multiple
thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used
with the next prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments.
As a result of the payment of the current Fiscal Year's Special Tax A levy as determined
under paragraph 9(above),the CFD Administrator shall remove the current Fiscal Year's
Special Tax A levy for such Assessor's Parcel from the County tax rolls. With respect to
any Assessor's Parcel that is prepaid, the Council shall cause a suitable notice to be
recorded in compliance with the Act,to indicate the prepayment of Special Tax A and the
release of the Special Tax A lien on such Assessor's Parcel, and the obligation of such
Assessor's Parcel to pay the Special Tax A shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment will be allowed unless the amount of
Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property (based on expected
development at build out) after the proposed prepayment,less expected Administrative
Expenses,shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal
payments on all Outstanding Bonds (excluding Bonds to be redeemed by such
prepayment and all prior prepayments) in each future Fiscal Year and such prepayment
will not impair the security of all Outstanding Bonds, as reasonably determined by the
CFD Administrator.
The Special Tax B may not be prepaid.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax A on an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property or an Assessor's Parcel
of Undeveloped Property for.which a building permit has been issued may be partially
prepaid. The Partial Prepayment Amount shall be calculated as in Section K.1; except
that a partial prepayment shall be calculated according to the following formula:
PP = [(PE-AE) x F] + AE
City of Azusa October 24,2011
IA No. 2 of CFD No. 2005-1 (Rosedale) page 21
These terms have the following meaning:
AE — the Administrative Fees and Expenses
PP the partial prepayment
PE the Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section K.1
F the percentage by which the owner of the Assessors Parcel is partially
prepaying the Special Tax A.
The owner of any Assessor's Parcel who desires such prepayment shall notify the CFD
Administrator of such owner's intent to partially prepay the Special Tax A and the
percentage by which the Special Tax A shall be prepaid. The CFD Administrator shall
provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of
the Special Tax A for an Assessor's Parcel within thirty(30)days of the request and may
charge a reasonable'fee for providing this service. With respect to any Assessor's Parcel
that is partially prepaid, the City shall (i) distribute the funds remitted to it according to
Section K.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of IA No. 2 that there has been a partial
prepayment of the Special Tax A and that a portion of the Special Tax A with respect to
such Assessor's Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 -F) of the remaining
Maximum Special Tax A, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor's Parcel pursuant
to Section G.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,no partial prepayment will be allowed unless the amount
of Maximum Special Tax A that may be levied on Taxable Property(based on expected
development at build out) after the proposed prepayment, less expected Administrative
Expenses, shall be at least 1.1 times the regularly scheduled annual interest and principal
payments on all Outstanding Bonds (excluding Bonds to be redeemed by such
prepayment and all prior prepayments) in each future Fiscal Year and such partial
prepayment will not impair the security of all Outstanding Bonds, as reasonably
determined by the CFD Administrator.
3. Bond Call based on Backup Special Tax A
The Prepayment Amount for a Backup Special Tax A payment shall equal the amount
necessary to call Bonds based on steps 4, 5, 12, 13, and 14 of Section K.1. above such
that the total Special Tax A revenues available in any Fiscal Year (i.e., the Expected
Special Tax A Revenues from step 2 of Section D above for the Planning Area for which
the Backup Special Tax A payment is being made plus the Required Special Tax A
Revenues from all other Planning Areas as adjusted to the date of calculation and both
escalated by 2%per Fiscal Year) less anticipated annual Administrative Expenses as of
the date of calculation will be approximately equal to (but not less than) 110%of the debt
service on the Outstanding Bonds during the current Fiscal Year and all future years.
From the Backup Special Tax A payment,the amounts computed pursuant to paragraphs
4, 5, 13, and 14 shall be used to retire Outstanding Bonds. The amount computed
pursuant to paragraph 12 shall be retained by IA No. 2.
The Maximum Special Tax A shall not be reduced as a result of a Backup Special Tax A
payment.

SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION No. 2011-XX, APPROVING AN
INSTALLMENT SALE AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE
DEFEASEANCE AND REFUNDING OF THE CITY'S OUTSTANDING
1994 CERTIFICATES OF PARTICIPATION (1994 SEWER SYSTEM
REFUNDING PROJECT) AND AUTHORIZING THE FINANCING OF
ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CITY'S SEWER SYSTEM
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve,the and authorize staff to take the necessary
steps to complete the refinancing of the 1994 Certificates of Participation, as well as new money
necessary to complete improvements through private placement of an Installment Sale
Agreement. Staff and the City's financial advisor recommend approval of the attached legal
documents and the use of Capital One for this financing.
BACKGROUND
At the October 17, 2011 City Council meeting the Council authorized the staff to move forward
with refunding of the City's 1994 Certificates of Participation and the financing of improvements
to the City's wastewater system through a private placement structure with Capital One. The
action will provide Fiscal Year 2012 savings of $76,000 and total net present value savings of
$127,000 resulting from refunding the 1994 Certificates of Participation as well as new money
($4.1 million) necessary to construct sewer system improvements that will be raised by the
Installment Sale Agreement.
On June 20, 2011, the City Council conducted a public hearing, received public comments, and
adopted an ordinance establishing sewer rate increases of 5% over the next 10 years. This action
was necessary to meet the financing needs of the City's Sewer Master Plan, which calls for the
repair of existing lines and pipes, as well as improvements to the hydraulic capacity of the
system.
I
I
The City's Sewer Master Plan (SMP) consultant estimated the total cost of improvements to be
upwards of$8 million over tb'c next 10 years, taking into account a 3% inflationary factor.
To finance the improvements to the sewer system, City staff, in conjunction with the City's
financial advisor, evaluated the following three options:
1) Option I: Finance the improvements to the system at a cost of over $8 million with Pay-
Go Capital over a 10 year period. The cost of inflation for this scenario is currently
estimated to be about $1.4 million.
2) Option 2: Finance the improvements to the system through the issuance of bonds which
would refund the City's outstanding 1994 Certificates of Participation and provide new
money to finance the improvements. The bond would have a 20 year maturity, with total
interest cost for the refunding and new money portions equaling approximately $6
million over the life of the bonds. Average annual debt service would be approximately
$680,000.
3) Option 3: Finance the improvements to the system through a combination of Pay-Go
Capital, cash on-hand, and the issuance of two private placements which would provide
funds to: refund the outstanding 1994 bonds for savings, and provide the additional
capital necessary to finance the improvements to the sewer system.
Based on an analysis of each option, Option 3 was determined to be the most cost effective
strategy. Attached to this staff report is a summary of the projected debt service payments under
Option 3.
The City received a bid from the Underwriting firm EJ De La Rosa & Co. for the issuance of
traditional tax-exempt bonds. Additionally, staff directed the City's financial advisor to solicit
bids from interested financial institutions for a private placement. Bids were requested from
Brandis Tallman, Bank of America, and Capital One Public Funding (Capital One). Brandis
Tallman did not ultimately bid and Bank of America declined to bid due to poor debt service
coverage in prior years. Capital One provided a competitive bid and performed preliminary
credit analysis for the transaction.
The financing structure recommended by staff and the financial advisor includes a private
placement of an Installment Sale Agreement with the following components:
1) Refinancing the 1994 COPS at a fixed rate of 2.9% without modifying the term or
structure of the existing bonds, which provided savings of$127,000 through 2020.
2) Financing new money in the amount of$4.1 million at a fixed interest rate of 3.6% and
final maturity of 2025.
3) Funding the remaining portion of the projects with existing cash on hand.
Funding most of the projects up-front (in lieu of a pure Pay-Go strategy over a 10 year period),
shortens the construction period by as much as 40%-50% and reduces the effect of inflation on
construction costs. Additionally, private placements generally have a lower cost of issuance than
traditional bond financing.
FISCAL IMPACT
I
The proposed Installment Sale Agreement will be a limited obligation of the City's sewer
enterprise, payable solely from net revenues derived from the system. The Installment payments
arel allocated among the refinancing of the 1994 COPS and the new money. So that the City can
take advantage of a lower fixed rate for the shorter-term refinancing of the 1994 COPS. The new
money financing will be "wrapped" around the refunding portion, resulting in level annual debt
payments equal to approximately$524,000 through 2025.
One of the benefits of utilizing a private placement over a traditional bond financing is the lower
cost of issuance. To issue bonds, the up-front cost to the City of Azusa would be approximately
$120,000. In contrast, the cost of the private placement will be $75,000. This amount includes
thelfollowing services: Financial Advisor- Urban Futures, Inc.; Bond Counsel & City Attorney-
Best, Best & Krieger; Lender's Counsel- Kronick, Moskovitz,- Tiedemann & Girard; and
Trustee- Wells Fargo Bank. The Lender, Capital One Public Funding, LLC, will not receive any
loan fees for this transaction.
]n choosing to move forward with a private placement, the City of Azusa will realize up-front,
direct savings of$45,000 in the difference between fees. In addition, private placements do not
require annual continuing disclosure reports or trustee services. As a result, the City will save an
additional $25,000 through the life of the financing, bringing the total cost savings to $70,000. It
should be noted that private placement deals are only available for smaller financings typically
under$5 million.
In Iummary the City will:
1. Save $127,000 from the payoff of the existing COP'S.
2. Receive $4.1 million in new money to expedite construction of Master Planned sewer
improvements.
3. Save $70,000 by utilizing a private placement sale through Capital One

SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF THE SALE OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY OWNED
BY THE CITY AND LOCATED AT 880 S. AZUSA AVENUE (APNs 8621-024-
903 AND 904) AND AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ALL
DOCUMENTS AND TAKE ANY ACTIONS NECESSARY TO CONVEY THE
j LAND TO THE CHARVAT FAMILY TRUST CONSISTENT WITH THE TERMS
AND INTENT OF THE DISPOPSITION AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
AND STAFF REPORT FROM JUNE 2011
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the sale of real property
located at 880 S. Azusa Avenue (APN's 8621-024-903, 904) and authorize the City Manager to
execute all documents and take any actions necessary to convey the land to Charvat consistent with
the to i s and intent of the DDA and City Council staff report from June 2011.
BACKGROUND
The City currently owns two parcels of land totaling f 145,055 square feet (3.3 acres) located at 880
S. Azusa Avenue (APN's 8621-024-903, 904) ("City Property"). The City Property was previously
acquired by the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Azusa from Clark and William Allen in
August 2008 for $5,210,000 for the development of a future commercial/retail project. At the time
of acquisition, the address of the City Property was 17525 E. Arrow Highway. The address has
since been changed to 880 S. Azusa Avenue. On March 7, 2011, the Agency approved the transfer
of the I
I City Property to the City of Azusa as repayment for various loans that were made over the
years to the Agency from the City's General Fund and Water and Electric Utility.
In March 2011, the Agency acquired the adjacent parcel totaling 9,856 square feet (0.23 acre)
located at 101 E. Arrow Hwy (formerly 17511 E. Arrow Highway) (APN 8621-024-905) ("Agency
Propert ) for$1.450,000 from Roy and Joyce Fowler as a result of a condemnation action.

f _
On June 6, 2011 the City Council and the Agency Board approved a Disposition and Development
Agreement ("DDA") with The Charvat Family LLC ("Developer") to develop a retail store on the
City Property. The DDA with the Charvat Family LLC provides that the Agency will reacquire title
to the the City Property and convey that to the Developer for the construction of a 40,000 to 60,000
square foot retail store ("Project") and allows for a five-year Option to Purchase the Agency
Property.
Pursuant to the DDA, an escrow has been opened for the sale of the City Property to the Developer
in the amount of$3.3 Million, which is based on an appraisal conducted on behalf of the Agency on
March 29, 2011, which determined that the fair market value of the City Property and Agency
Property is $22.98 per square foot.
In August 2011, the Agency was prohibited from taking certain actions as a result of the stay in the
litigation surrounding the constitutionality of AB 1X 26 and AB IX 27. Consequently, at this time,
staff is seeking authorization from the Council for the City Manager to execute all documents and
take any actions necessary to convey the land to Charvat consistent with the terms and intent of the
DDA and City Council staff report from June 2011. Staff is working with the escrow to facilitate
the transfer. This transfer is for the fair market value of the property based upon an appraisal, will
benefit the community through the creation of jobs, generation of tax revenues and the
redevelopment of an underutilized property.
This transaction was analyzed at the time the DDA was approved; at which time City staff
determined that the Project constitutes a "project" under the California Environmental Quality Act,
Public Resources Code Sections 21000, et seq. ("CEQA"), and further determined that the Project is
exempt from environmental review under CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21084
and Title 14 California Code of Regulations Section 15332 because it is in-fill development: (1)
consistent with the applicable general plan designation and all applicable general plan policies as
well as with the applicable zoning designation and regulations; (2) occurring within city limits on a
project site of no more than five acres substantially surrounded by urban uses; (3) the Property has
no value as habitat for endangered, rare or threatened species; (4) approval of the Project would not
result in any significant effects relating to traffic, noise, air quality, or water quality; and (5) the
Property can be adequately served by all required utilities and public services.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the sale of the City Property
and authorize the City Manager to execute all documents and take any actions necessary to convey
the land to Charvat consistent with the terms and intent of the DDA and City Council staff report
from June.
FISCAL IMPACT
The sale of the City Property will be pursuant to the City's police powers and at the fair market
value of$3.3 Million.

proposed. The second site is the former Sizzler Restaurant which has an owner participation agreement.
APU has proposed a quick serve drive through restaurant not a full service restaurant as required under the

would be located somewhere else on the site. They would be able to keep the quick serve restaurant and
APU would pay liquidated damages on an annual basis. He explained AB X26 and AB X27 prohibiting the
o making amendments to the OPA.

INVESTMENT POLICY
1. POLICY STATEMENT
All funds of the City of Azusa ("City") shall be invested in accordance with principles of
sound treasury management and in accordance with the provisions of California Government
Code Section 53600, et seq., and guidelines established by the California Municipal
Treasurer's Association, the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers, and this
Investment Policy ("Policy"). These funds are defined and detailed in the City's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ("CAFR").and include any new funds created
unless specifically excluded by the City Council.
Specifically excluded funds are:
Funds deposited with the State Public Employees' Retirement System; and
i
Bond proceeds that are subject to covenants and restrictions as defined in the Bond's
indenture are administered under the direct control of the Bond Trustee.
e
2. I INVESTMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
G A. Overall Risk Profile
I
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.5 the three(3)objectives of
the City's Policy are, in order of priority:
1. Safeguard the principal of the funds;
2. Meet the liquidity needs of the City; and
3. Achieve a return on the funds.
To achieve these objectives, the City shall consider the following when making an
investment:
1. Safeguard the Principal of the Funds
The City shall mitigate the risk to the principal of invested funds by limiting
credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the failure
of the security issuer or backer. Interest rate risk is the risk that the market
1 IIIY4TSMINROIIfYLRY OFKLLaoI I.GM
value of the City's portfolio will fall due to an increase in general interest
rates.
a) Credit risk will be mitigated by.
(i) Limiting investments to the safest types of securities;
(ii) By pre-qualifying the financial institutions with which it will
do business; and
(iii) By diversifying the investment portfolio so that the potential
failure of any one issue or backer will not place an undue
financial burden on the City.
b) Interest rate risk will be mitigated by:
(i) Structuring the City's portfolio so that securities mature to
meet the City's cash requirements for ongoing obligations,
thereby avoiding the possible need to sell securities on the
open market at a loss prior to their maturity to meet those
requirements; and
(ii) Investing primarily in shorter-term securities.
2. Meet the Liquidity Needs of the City
The City's investment portfolio shall be structured in a manner that ensures
securities mature at the same time as cash is needed to meet anticipated
demands (Static Liquidity). Additionally, since all possible cash demands
cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist of securities with active
secondary markets (Dynamic Liquidity). The maximum percentage of
different investment instruments and maturities is detailed within Section II
of this Policy.
3. Achieve a Return on the Funds
Yield on the City's investment portfolio is of secondary importance compared
to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. Investments are
limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return
relative to the risk being assumed. While it may occasionally be necessary or
strategically prudent for the City to sell a security prior to maturity to either
meet unanticipated cash needs or to restructure the portfolio, this Policy
LLW'vF9AIXI UCV6GMOFW Ah Dl 1.T
specifically prohibits trading securities for the sole purpose of speculating on
the future direction of interest rates.
B. Basic Investment Strategy
I
The City's investment portfolio shall be structured to provide sufficient funds from
investments to meet the City's monthly anticipated cash needs. Subject to the
objectives stated above,the choice in investment instruments and maturities shall be
based upon an analysis of future anticipated cash needs, existing and anticipated
revenues, interest rate trends and specific market opportunities. No investment may
have a maturity of more than five (5) years from its date of purchase without
receiving prior City Council approval. After approval by City Council,reserve funds
associated with bond issues may have a maturity of more than five(5)years,up to the
earliest date the bonds may be redeemed or mature.
I
3. INVESTMENTS
j This section of the Policy identifies the types of investments in which the City will invest its
idle or surplus funds.
A. Standard of Prudence
lThe City operates its investment portfolio under the Prudent Investor Standard
(California Government Code Section 53600.3) which states, in essence, "when
investing,reinvesting,purchasing,acquiring,exchanging,selling or managing public
funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic
conditions and the anticipated need of the City, that a prudent person in a like
capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a
like character and with like aims,to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity
needs of the City."
This standard shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.
Investment officers, acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment
policy and exercising the above standard of diligence shall be relieved of personal
responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes,
provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and
appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
i
I
B. Eligible Securities
The City is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under California
Government Code Section 53600, et seq. The City may choose to restrict its
permitted investments to a smaller list of securities that more closely fits the City's
cash flow needs and requirements for liquidity. If a type of investment is added to
California Governmelit Code Section 53600 et seg., the new investment option will
not be added to the City's Authorized Investment List until this Policy is amended
and approved by the City Council. If a type of investment permitted by the City
should be removed from California Government Code 53600 et seq., the investment
will be deemed concurrently removed from the City's Authorized Investment List.

investments listed above.
A thorough investigation of any pool or fund is required prior to investing and on'a
continual basis. The investigation will, at a minimum, obtain the following
information:
• A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of
investment policies and objectives; and

losses are distributed; and
• A description of how securities are safeguarded (including the settlement
process) and how often the securities are marked to market and how often an
audit is conducted; and
• A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposits
and withdrawals are permitted; and

evaluate the risk of placing funds with that pool or fund.
I

permitted investment.
I

9. ADOPTION OF POLICY
This Policy was duly adopted by the City Council of the City of Azusa on November 21,
2011.
I
EXHIBIT A
EXHIBIT A
DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS
The City of Azusa's ("City") investments may be placed in those securities as outlined below; the
allocation between the various investment instruments may change in order to give the City the best
combination of safety, liquidity and higher yield. Surplus funds of local agencies may only be
invested in certain eligible securities. The City limits its investments to allowable securities under
the State of California statutes (Government Code Section 53601, et. seq., Section 53356, et. seg.,
and Section 53595, et. seq.) and is further limited to those listed below.
Certificates of Deposit
Certificates of deposit allow the City to select the exact amount and day of maturity as well as the
exact depository. Certificates of deposit are issued in any amount for periods of time as short as
fourteen(14)days and as long as several years. At any given time,the City may have certificates of
deposit innumerousfinancial institutions in the future.
The City Treasurer may at his/her discretion waive security for that portion of a deposit, which is
insured pursuant to federal law. Currently, the first Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
($250,000)of a deposit is federally insured by FSLIC or FDIC. It may be to the City's advantage to
waive this collateral requirement for the first Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars($250,000)
because the City may receive a higher interest rate. If funds are to be collateralized, the collateral
will be one hundred and ten percent(110%)of the deposit in government securities or mortgages of
one hundred and fifty percent (150%). At purchase, institutions must not show an operating loss.
Banks must have an equity-to-asset ratio of at least six percent(6%). Savings and loan associations
and savings banks must have an equity-to-asset ratio of a least three percent (3%).
Local Agency Investment Fund
The Local Agency Investment Fund("LAIF")of the State of California offers high liquidity because
deposits can be wired to the City checking account within twenty-four (24) hours. Interest is
computed on a daily basis.
This is a special fund in the State Treasury, which local agencies may use to deposit funds for
investment. There is no minimum investment period and the minimum transaction is Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000) in multiples of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) above that, with a maximum of
Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) for any city. It offers high liquidity because deposits can be
converted to cash within twenty-four(24)hours and no interest is lost. All interest is distributed to
those agencies participating on a proportionate share determined by the amounts deposited and the
length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly by adding it to the principal.
v
The State charges participants a small fee to cover reasonable costs associated with operating the
investment pool, not to exceed one quarter of one percent (.25%) of the earnings.
The interest rates received are fairly stable because of the pooling of the State's surplus cash with the
surplus cash deposited by local governments. This creates a well-diversified multi-billion dollar
money pool.
U.S. Treasury Securities
U.SI Treasury securities are highly liquid and considered the safest of all in because they
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.
I
U.S.Treasury Bills are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are issued
weekly with maturity dates up to six (6)months. They are issued and traded on a discount
basis and the interest is figured on a three hundred and sixty(360)day basis using the actual
number of days to maturity. They are issued in the minimum amount of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) and in multiples of Five Thousand ($5,000) thereafter.
U.S. Treasury Notes are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are
issued throughout the year with maturities from two up to thirty(30)years. Notes are coupon
securities paying a fixed amount every six (6) months. The City will not invest in notes
having maturities longer than five (5) years.
Federal Agency Securities
I
Federal Agency securities are highly liquid and considered to be virtually without credit risk.
Federal Agency issues are guaranteed indirectly by the United States Government. All Agency
obligations that are fixed-rate and meet the maturity restrictions of the State Code and this Policy
qualify as legal investments and are acceptable as security for public deposits. They usually provide
higher yields than regular Treasury issues with all of the same advantages. Examples are:
FNMA's (Federal National Mortgage Association) are used to assist the home mortgage
market by purchasing mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration and the
Farmers Home Administration,as well as those guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.
FHLB's (Federal Home Loan Bank Notes and Bonds) are issued by the Federal Home
Loan Bank System to help finance the housing industry. The notes and bonds provide
liquidity and home mortgage credit to savings and loan associations,mutual savings banks,
cooperative banks, insurance companies and mortgage-lending institutions.
Other Federal Agency issues are Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
i ("FHLMC"), Federal Farm Credit Bank ("FFCB"), Small Business Administration
13
I= -
Notes("SBA's"),Government National Mortgage Association("GNMA's"),Tennessee
Valley Authority("TVA's")and the Student Loan Marketing Association("SLMA's")
Negotiable Certificate of Deposit
Negotiable certificates of deposit are high-gr4de instruments, paying a higher interest rate than
regular certificates of deposit. They are liquid because they can be traded in the secondary market.
Negotiable Certificates of Deposit ("WD's") are unsecured obligations of the issuing financial
institution, bank or savings and loan, bought at face value with a promise to pay face value plus
accrued interest at maturity. The primary market issuance is in multiples of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000). The secondary market usually trades in denominations of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars($500,000), although smaller denominations are occasionally available. Local agencies may
not invest more than thirty percent(30%)of their surplus money in negotiable certificates of deposit.
NCD's will only be placed with the largest and most financially sound institutions.
Commercial Paper
Commercial paper allows the investment of large amounts of money on a short-term basis at rates
higher than passbook savings accounts. Commercial paper is a short-term unsecured promissory
note issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are purchased at
a discount to par value. As an example, corporations such as American Express, International
Business Machines (IBM) and General Electric issue commercial paper.
Local agencies are permitted by state law to invest in commercial paper of"prime" quality of the
highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical rating as provided by Moody's Investor's
Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporation (Allpl or a1+/p]). Purchases of eligible
commercial paper may not exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days maturity nor exceed thirty
percent (30%) of the City's surplus funds.
Medium-Term Corporate Notes
A city may invest in medium term corporate notes with a maximum maturity of five years issued by
a corporation organized and operating within the United States, a depository institution licensed by
the United States Government or any state government and operating within the United States.
California Government Code Section 53601 et seq. permits cities to invest in corporations with a
rating category of"A" or better, but the City will limit its investments in corporate medium term
notes to those issued by corporations that have been rated "AA" or its equivalent by two (2)
nationally recognized ratings agencies.
Passbook Savings or Money Market Account
14 �Ha min "OF. SSW
I
Passbook savings account allows us to transfer money from checking to savings and earn interest on
smaller amounts of money, which are not available for a longer-term investment.
The passbook savings account is similar to a CD except not for a fixed term. The interest rate is
much lower than CD's but the savings account provides daily liquidity and funds can be deposited
and withdrawn according to our daily needs.
Mutual Funds
I
Mutual Funds allow the City to maintain liquidity and receive money market rates. Mutual Funds
are Ireferred to in the Government Code, Section 53601(1),as"shares of beneficial interests issued by
diversified management companies". The Mutual Fund must be restricted by its prospectus to be a
"Money Market" mutual fund and be limited to the same approved investments as LAIF. These
investments include U.S. Treasury and Agency issues, Bankers Acceptances, Commercial Paper,
Repurchase Agreements,Certificates of Deposit,and Negotiable Certificates of Deposit. The quality
rating and percentage restrictions in each investment category applicable to LAIF also apply to any
Mutual Fund.
One of the stated objectives of the Mutual Fund must be to attempt to maintain a One Dollar($1.00)
Net!Asset Value(NAV). A further restriction is that the purchase price of shares of any mutual fund
shall not include any sales commission. Investments in mutual funds shall not exceed fifteen percent
(15%) of the City's surplus money.
Repurchase A¢reements
Re purchase Agreements are purchases of securities by the City under an agreement with a term of
one�(1)year or less whereby the seller will"repurchase"the same securities on or before a specified
date' or on demand of either party and for a specified amount. The underlying securities must be
delivered to the City's custodial account by book entry,physical delivery or a third-party custodial
agreement.

INVESTMENT POLICY
j
1. I POLICY STATEMENT
j All funds of the City of Azusa Redevelopment Agency ("Agency") shall be invested in
accordance with principles of sound treasury management and in accordance with the
provisions of California Government Code Section 53600 et seq., and guidelines established
by the California Municipal Treasurer's Association, the California Society of Municipal
Finance Officers,and this Investment Policy("Policy").These funds are defined and detailed
in the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report("CAFR")and include any new funds
created unless specifically excluded by the City Council.
Specifically excluded funds are:
Funds deposited with the State Public Employees' Retirement System; and
Bond proceeds that are subject to covenants and restrictions as defined in the Bond's
indenture are administered under the direct control of the Bond Trustee.
2. INVESTMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
A. Overall Risk Profile
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.5 the three(3)objectives of
the RDA's Policy are, in order of priority:
1. Safeguard the principal of the funds;
2. Meet the liquidity needs of the City; and
3. Achieve a return of the funds.
To achieve these objectives,the Agency shall consider the following when making an
investment:
1. Safeguard the Principal of the Funds
The Agency shall mitigate the risk to the principal of invested funds by
limiting credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the
failure of the security issuer or backer. Interest rate risk is the risk that the
c.�u TS"D srrMGszus. Rln ��m+wurnnw-nrnmrioixr-rracVunvw TAO. n.m11.HNu.
' 1
market value of the Agency's portfolio will fall due to an increase in general
interest rates.
a) Credit risk will be mitigated by:
(i) Limiting investments to the safest types of securities;
(ii) By pre-qualifying the financial institutions with NVhich it will
do business; and
(iii) By diversifying the investment portfolio so that the potential
failure of any one issue or backer will not place an undue
financial burden on the Agency.
b) Interest rate risk will be mitigated by:
(i) Structuring the Agency's portfolio so that securities mature to
meet the Agency's cash requirements for ongoing obligations,
thereby avoiding the possible need to sell securities on the
open market at a loss prior to their maturity to meet those
requirements; and
(ii) Investing primarily in shorter-term securities.
2. Meet the Liquidity Needs of the City
The Agency's investment portfolio shall be structured in a manner that
ensures securities mature at the same time as cash is needed to meet
anticipated demands (Static Liquidity). Additionally, since all possible cash
demands cannot be anticipated,the portfolio should consist of securities with
active secondary markets(Dynamic Liquidity). The maximum percentage of
different investment instruments and maturities is detailed within Section E
of this Policy.
3. Achieve a Return on the Funds
Yield on the Agency's investment portfolio is of secondary importance
compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. Investments
are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair
return relative to the risk being assumed. While it may occasionally be
necessary or strategically prudent for the Agency to sell a security prior to
maturity to either meet unanticipated cash needs or to restructure the
c
portfolio, this Policy specifically prohibits trading securities for the sole
purpose of speculating on the future direction of interest rates.
B. Basic Investment Strateey
The Agency's investment portfolio shall be structured to provide sufficient funds
from investments to meet the Agency's monthly anticipated cash needs. Subject to
the objectives stated above,the choice in investment instruments and maturities shall
be based upon an analysis of future anticipated cash needs, existing and anticipated
revenues, interest rate trends and specific market opportunities. No investment may
have a maturity of more than five (5) years from its date of purchase without
receiving prior Council approval. After approval by the Council, reserve funds
associated with bond issues may have a maturity of more than five(5)years,up to the
earliest date the bonds may be redeemed or mature.
3. INVESTMENTS
This section of the Policy identifies the types of investments in which the Agency will invest
its idle or surplus funds.
A. Standard of Prudence
The Agency operates its investment portfolio under the Prudent Investor Standard
(California Government Code Section 53600.3) which states, in essence, "when
investing,reinvesting,purchasing,acquiring, exchanging,selling or managing public
funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic
conditions and the anticipated need of the Agency, that a prudent person in a like
capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a
like character and with like aims,to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity
needs of the Agency."
This standard shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.
Investment officers,acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment
policy and exercising the above standard of diligence shall be relieved of personal
responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes,
provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and
appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.

B. Eligible Securities
The Agency is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under California
Government Code Section 53600, et seq. The Agency may choose to restrict its
permitted investments to a smaller list of securities that more closely fits the
Agency's cash flow needs and requirements for liquidity. If a type of investment is
added to California Government Code 53600 et seq., the new investment option will
not be added to the Agency's Authorized Investment List until this Policy is amended
and approved by the Council. If a type of investment permitted by the Agency
should be removed from California Government Code 53600 et seq., the investment
will be deemed concurrently removed from the Agency's Authorized Investment List.
The Agency's Authorized Investment List
• Insured Certificates of Deposit("CD's") of California banks and/or savings and
loan associations, and/or savings banks that mature in five (5) years or less,
provided that the Agency's investments shall not exceed Two Hundred and Fifty

insured Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars($250,000),the funds are to be
collateralized at one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the deposit in
government securities or one hundred and fifty percent (150%) in mortgages.
• Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) Demand Deposits.
• Securities of the U.S. Government, and securities of which the principal and
interest is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. Government.

asset value) that has been rated AAAm by Moody's or any two (2) nationally
recognized rating agencies.
Please see Exhibit A for a more detailed description of the authorized
investments listed above.
A thorough investigation of any pool or fund is required prior to investing and on a
continual basis. The investigation will, at a minimum, obtain the following
information:
• A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of
investment policies and objectives; and
• A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed,and how gains and
losses are distributed; and
• A description of how securities are safeguarded (including the settlement
process) and how often the securities are marked to market and how often an
audit is conducted; and
• A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposits
j and withdrawals are permitted; and
• A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings; and
• A determination as to whether the pool/fund maintain a reserve or retain earnings
or is all income after expenses distributed to participants; and
• A fee schedule which also discloses when and how fees are assessed; and
• A determination as to whether the pool or fund is eligible for bond proceeds
and/or will accept such proceeds.
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the suitability of a pool or fund and
evaluate the risk of placing funds with that pool or fund.
One of the purposes of this Policy is to define what investments are permitted.
If a type of security is not specifically authorized by this Policy, it is not a
permitted investment.
C. Oualification of Brokers. Dealers and Financial Institutions

DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS
The Redevelopment Agency's("Agency")investments maybe placed in those securities as outlined
below; the allocation between the various investment instruments may change in order to give the
Agency the best combination of safety, liquidity and higher yield. Surplus funds of local agencies
may only be invested in certain eligible securities. The Agency limits its investments to allowable
securities under the State of California statutes (Government Code Section 53601, et. seq., Section
53356, et. seq., and Section 53595, et. seq.) and is further limited to those listed below.
Certificates of Deposit
Certificates of deposit allow the Agency to select the exact amount and day of maturity as well as the
exact depository. Certificates of deposit are issued in any amount for periods of time as short as
fourteen(14)days and as long as several years. At any given time,the Agency may have certificates
of deposit in numerous financial institutions in the future.
The Treasurer may at his/her discretion waive security for that portion of a deposit,which is insured
pursuant to federal law. Currently,the first Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars($250,000)of
a deposit is federally insured by FSLIC or FDIC. It may be to the Agency's advantage to waive this
collateral requirement for the first Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars($250,000)because the
Agency may receive a higher interest rate. If funds are to be collateralized,the collateral will be one
hundred and ten percent(11,0%)of the deposit in government securities or mortgages of one hundred
and fifty percent (150%). At purchase, institutions must not show an operating loss. Banks must
have an equity-to-asset ratio of at least six (6%). Savings and loan associations and savings banks
must have an equity-to-asset ratio of a least three percent (3%).
Local A2ency Investment Fund
The Local Agency Investment Fund("LAIF")of the State of California offers high liquidity because
deposits can be wired to the Agency checking account within twenty-four (24) hours. Interest is
computed on a daily basis.
This is a special fund in the State Treasury, which local agencies may use to deposit funds for
investment. There is no minimum investment period and the minimum transaction is Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000) in multiples of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) above that, with a maximum of
Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) for any agency. It offers high liquidity because deposits can be
converted to cash within twenty-four(24)hours and no interest is lost. All interest is distributed to
those agencies participating on a proportionate share determined by the amounts deposited and the
length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly by adding it to the principal.
The State charges participants a small fee to cover reasonable costs associated with operating the
investment pool, not to exceed one quarter of one percent (.25%) of the earnings.
The interest rates received are fairly stable because of the pooling of the State's surplus cash with the
surplus cash deposited by local governments. This creates a well-diversified multi-billion dollar
mon y pool.
U.S.iTreasury Securities
U.S. (Treasury securities are highly liquid and considered the safest of all investments because they
are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.
i
f U.S.Treasury Bills are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are issued
weekly with maturity dates up to six (6) months. They are issued and traded on a discount
basis and the interest is figured on a three hundred and sixty(360)day basis using the actual
number of days to maturity. They are issued in the minimum amount of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) and in multiples of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) thereafter.
U.S. Treasury Notes are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are
issued throughout the year with maturities from two up to thirty(30)years. Notes are coupon
securities paying a fixed amount everyesix (6)months. The Agency will not invest in notes
having maturities longer than five (5) years.
Federal Agency Securities
i
Federal Agency securities are highly liquid and considered to be virtually without credit risk.
Federal Agency issues are guaranteed indirectly by the United States Government. All Agency
obligations that are fixed-rate and meet the maturity restrictions of the State Code and this Policy
qualify as legal investments and are acceptable as security for public deposits. They usually provide
higher yields than regular Treasury issues with all of the same advantages. Examples are:
i
FNMA's (Federal National Mortgage Association) are used to assist the home mortgage
market by purchasing mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration and the
Farmers Home Administration, as well as those guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.
FHLB's (Federal Home Loan Bank Notes and Bonds) are issued by the Federal Home
Loan Bank System to help finance the housing industry. The notes and bonds provide
liquidity and home mortgage credit to savings and loan associations,mutual savings banks,
cooperative banks, insurance companies and mortgage-lending institutions.
cmcv�Ma SE..ycrA. Ik xenev�xnc -2011.m�w
0
Other Federal Agency issues are Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC"), Federal Farm Credit Bank ("FFCB"), Small Business Administration
Notes("SBA's"),Government National Mortgage Association("GNMA's"),Tennessee
Valley Authority ("TVA's") and the Student Loan Marketing Association("SLMAW ).
NeEotiable Certificate of Deposit
Negotiable certificates of deposit are high-grade instruments, paying a higher interest rate than
regular certificates of deposit. They are liquid because they can be traded in the secondary market.
Negotiable Certificates of Deposit ("NCD's") are unsecured obligations of the issuing financial
institution, bank or savings and loan, bought at face value with a promise to pay face value plus
accrued interest at maturity. The primary market issuance is in multiples of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000). The secondary market usually trades in denominations of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars($500,000),although smaller denominations are occasionally available. Local agencies may
not invest more than thirty percent(30%)of their surplus money in negotiable certificates of deposit.
NCD's will only be placed with the largest and most financially sound institutions.
Commercial Paper
Commercial paper allows the investment of large amounts of money on a short-term basis at rates
higher than passbook savings accounts. Commercial paper is a short-term unsecured promissory
note issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are purchased at
a discount to par value. As an example, corporations such as American Express, International
Business Machines ("IBM") and General Electric issue commercial paper.
Local agencies are permitted by state law to invest in commercial paper of"prime" quality of the
highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical rating as provided by Moody's Investor's
Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporation (Al/p] or al+/pl). Purchases of eligible
commercial paper may not exceed one hundred and eighty(180) days maturity nor exceed 30%of
the Agency's surplus funds.
Medium-Term Corporate Notes
An agency may invest in medium term corporate notes with a maximum maturity of five years (5)
issued by a corporation organized and operating within the United States, a depository institution
licensed by the United States Government or any state government and operating within the United
States. California Government Code Section 53601 et seq., permits cities to invest in corporations
with a rating category of "A" or better, but the Agency will limit its investments in corporate
medium term notes to those issued by corporations that have been rated "AA" or its equivalent by
two (2) nationally recognized ratings agencies.
�I
Pass book Savings or Money Market Account
Passbook savings account allows us to transfer money from checking to savings and earn interest on
smaller amounts of money, which are not available for a longer-term investment.
I
The(passbook savings account is similar to a CD except not for a fixed term. The interest rate is
much lower than CD's but the savings account provides daily liquidity and funds can be deposited
and withdrawn according to our daily needs.
1
Mutual Funds
I
Mutual Funds allow the Agency to maintain liquidity and receive money market rates. Mutual Funds
are referred to in the Government Code, Section 53601(1),as"shares of beneficial interests issued by
diversified management companies". The Mutual Fund must be restricted by its prospectus to be a
"Money Market" mutual fund and be limited to the same approved investments as LAIF. These
investments include U.S. Treasury and Agency issues, Bankers Acceptances, Commercial Paper,
Repurchase Agreements,Certificates of Deposit,and Negotiable Certificates of Deposit. The quality
rating and percentage restrictions in each investment category applicable to LAIF also apply to any
Mutual Fund.
One of the stated objectives of the Mutual Fund must be to attempt to maintain a One Dollar($1.00)
Net Asset Value(NAV). A further restriction is that the purchase price of shares of any mutual fund
shall not include any sales commission. Investments in mutual funds shall not exceed fifteen percent
(15%I) of the Agency's surplus money.
Repurchase Agreements
RelnJrchase Agreements are purchases of securities by the Agency under an agreement with a term of
one(1)year or less whereby the seller will"repurchase"the same securities on or before a specified
date or on demand of either party and for a specified amount. The underlying securities must be
delivered to the Agency's custodial account by book entry, physical delivery or a third-party
custodial agreement.

INVESTMENT POLICY
1. POLICY STATEMENT
All funds of the APFA shall be invested in accordance with principles of sound treasury
management and in accordance with the provisions of California Government Code Section
53600, et seg., and guidelines established by the California Municipal Treasurer's
Association, the California Society of Municipal Finance Officers,and this Investment Policy
("Policy"). These funds are defined and detailed in the City's Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report("CAFR")and include any new funds created unless specifically excluded
by the City Council.
Specifically excluded funds are:
Funds deposited with the State Public Employees' Retirement System; and
Bond proceeds that are subject to covenants and restrictions as defined in the Bond's
indenture are administered under the direct control of the Bond Trustee.
2. INVESTMENT POLICY OBJECTIVES
A. Overall Risk Profile
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 53600.5 the three(3)objectives of
the APFA's Policy are, in order of priority:
1. Safeguard the principal of the funds;
2. Meet the liquidity needs of the City; and
` 3. Achieve a return on the funds.
To achieve these objectives,the APFA shall consider the following when making an
investment:
1. Safeeuard the Principal of the Funds
The APFA shall mitigate the risk to the principal of invested funds by
limiting credit and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the
failure of the security issuer or backer. Interest rate risk is the risk that the
market value of the APFA's portfolio will fall due to an increase in general
interest rates.
a) Credit risk will be mitigated by:
(i) Limiting investments to the safest types of securities;
(ii) By pre-qualifying the financial institutions with which it will
do business; and
(iii) By diversifying the investment portfolio so that the potential
failure of any one issue or backer will not place an undue
financial burden on the APFA.
b) Interest rate risk will be mitigated by:
(i) Structuring the APFA's portfolio so that securities mature to
meet the APFA's cash requirements for ongoing obligations,
thereby avoiding the possible need to sell securities on the
open market at a loss prior to their maturity to meet those
requirements; and
(ii) Investing primarily in shorter-term securities.
2. Meet the Liquidity Needs of the City
The APFA's investment portfolio shall be structured in a manner that ensures
securities mature at the same time as cash is needed to meet anticipated
demands (Static Liquidity). Additionally, since all possible cash demands
cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist of securities with active
secondary markets (Dynamic Liquidity). The maximum percentage of
different investment instruments and maturities is detailed within this Policy.
3. Achieve a Return on the Funds
Yield on the APFA's investment portfolio is of secondary importance
compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. Investments
are limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair
return relative to the risk being assumed. While it may occasionally be
necessary or strategically prudent for the APFA to sell a security prior to
maturity to either meet unanticipated cash needs or to restructure the
portfolio, this Policy specifically prohibits trading securities for the sole
purpose of speculating on the future direction of interest rates.
cmcumwrsauv xnnxcs.nu.vq�rvn wart.o-arrrvwsmrn�wucwxvemntvrroucv..v�s weucux,wnxc.vmomrv.:oi.mu.mc
B. Basic Investment StrateLyv
The APFA's investment portfolio shall be structured to provide sufficient funds from
investments to meet the APFA's monthly anticipated cash needs. Subject to the
objectives stated above,the choice in investment instruments and maturities shall be
based upon an analysis of future anticipated cash needs, existing and anticipated
revenues, interest rate trends and specific market opportunities. No investment may
have a maturity of more than five (5) years from its date of purchase without
receiving prior Board approval. After approval by the Board, reserve funds
associated with bond issues may have a maturity of more than five(5)years,up to the
earliest date the bonds may be redeemed or mature.
3. j INVESTMENTS
This section of the Policy identifies the types of investments in which the APFA will invest
its idle or surplus funds.
A. Standard of Prudence
I
! The APFA operates its investment portfolio under the Prudent Investor Standard
(California Government Code Section 53600.3) which states, in essence, "when
investing,reinvesting,purchasing,acquiring,exchanging,selling or managing public
funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under the
circumstances then prevailing, including, but not limited to, the general economic
conditions and the anticipated"need of the APFA, that a prudent person in a like
capacity and familiarity with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a
like character and with like aims,to safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity
needs of the APFA."
This standard shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.
Investment officers,acting in accordance with written procedures and this investment
policy and exercising the above standard of diligence shall be relieved of personal
responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes,
provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and
appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments.
B. Eligible Securities
The APFA is provided a broad spectrum of eligible investments under California
Government Code Section 53600, 'et seq. The APFA many choose to restrict its
permitted investments to a smaller list of securities that more closely fits the APFA's
cash flow needs and requirements for liquidity. If a type of investment is added to
I
y
California Government Code 53600 et seq., the new investment option will not be
added to the APFA's Authorized Investment List until this Policy is amended and
approved by the Board. If a type of investment permitted by the APFA should be
removed from California Government Code 53600 et seq., the investment will be
deemed concurrently removed from the APFA's Authorized Investment List.
The APFA's Authorized Investment List

government securities or one hundred and fifty percent (150%) in mortgages.

loan associations, and/or savings banks which mature in five (5) years or less,

Hundred Thousand($100,000),the funds are to be collateralized at one hundred
and ten percent (110%) of the deposit in government securities or one hundred
and fifty percent (150%) in mortgages.

• Securities of the U.S. Government, and securities of which the principal and
interest is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U. S. Government.
• Securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U. S. Government or

• Commercial Paper(limited to 30%of the portfolio)rated AI/Pl or the equivalent

Agreement with the AgQncy.
• Money Market Mutual Funds (with a stated objective of maintaining a$1.00 net
asset value) that has been rated AAAm by Moody's or any two (2) nationally
recognized rating agencies.
Please see Exhibit A for a more detailed description of the authorized
investments listed above.
A thorough investigation of any pool or fund is required prior to investing and on a
continual basis. The investigation will, at a minimum, obtain the following
information:
• A description of eligible investment securities, and a written statement of
investment policies and objectives; and
• A description of interest calculations and how it is distributed,and bow gains and
losses are distributed; and
• A description of how securities are safeguarded (including the settlement
process) and how often the securities are marked to market and how often an
audit is conducted; and
• A description of who may invest in the program, how often, what size deposits
and withdrawals are permitted; and
• A schedule for receiving statements and portfolio listings; and
• A determination as to whether the pool/fund maintain a reserve or retain earnings
or is all income after expenses distributed to participants; and
• A fee schedule which also discloses when and how fees are assessed; and
• A determination as to whether the pool or fund eligible for bond proceeds and/or
will accept such proceeds.
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the suitability of a pool or fund and
evaluate the risk of placing funds with that pool or fund.
One of the purposes of this Policy is to define what investments are permitted.
If a type of security is not specifically authorized by this Policy, it is not a
permitted investment.

EXHIBIT A
EXHIBIT A
DESCRIPTION OF INVESTMENTS
The APFA's investments maybe placed in those securities as outlined below;the allocation between
the various investment instruments may change in order to give the APFA the best combination of
safety, liquidity and higher yield. Surplus funds of local agencies may only be invested in certain
eligible securities. The APFA limits its investments to allowable securities under the State of
California statutes (Government Code Section 53601, et. seq., Section 53356, et. seg., and Section
53595, et. seq.) and is further limited to those listed below.
Certificates of Deposit
Certificates of deposit allow the APFA to select the exact amount and day of maturity as well as the
exact depository. Certificates of deposit are issued in any amount for periods of time as short as
fourteen(14) days and as long as several years. At any given time,the APFA may have certificates
of deposit in numerous financial institutions in the future.
The Treasurer may at his/her discretion waive security for that portion of a deposit,which is insured
pursuant to federal law. Currently,the first Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars($250,000)of
a deposit is federally insured by FSLIC or FDIC. It may be to the APFA's advantage to waive this
collateral requirement for the first Two Hundred Fifty and Thousand Dollars($250,000)because the
APFA may receive a higher interest rate. If funds are to be collateralized,the collateral will be one
hundred and ten percent(110%)of the deposit in government securities or mortgages of one hundred
and fifty percent (150%). At purchase, institutions must not show an operating loss. Banks must
have an equity-to-asset ratio of at least six percent(6%). Savings and loan associations and savings
banks must have an equity-to-asset ratio of a least three percent (3%).
Local Agency Investment Fund
The Local Agency Investment Fund("LAIF")of the State of California offers high liquidity because
deposits can be wired to the APFA checking account within twenty-four (24) hours. Interest is
computed on a daily basis.
This is a special fund in the State Treasury which local agencies may use to deposit funds for
investment. There is no minimum investment period and the minimum transaction is Five Thousand
Dollars ($5,000) in multiples of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) above that, with a maximum of
Fifty Million Dollars($50,000,000) for any agency. It offers high liquidity because deposits can be
converted to cash within twenty-four(24)hours and no interest is lost. All interest is distributed to
those agencies participating on a proportionate share determined by the amounts deposited and the
length of time they are deposited. Interest is paid quarterly by adding it to the principal.
The (State charges participants a small fee to cover reasonable costs associated with operating the
investment pool, not to exceed one quarter of one percent (.25%) of the earnings.
The interest rates received are fairly stable because of the pooling of the State's surplus cash with the
surplus cash deposited by local governments. This creates a well-diversified multi-billion dollar
money pool.
U.S. Treasury Securities
i
U.S.(Treasury securities are highly liquid and considered the safest of all investments because they
are bI acked by the full faith and credit of the United States Government.
U.S.Treasury.Bills are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are issued
weekly with maturity dates up to six (6) months. They are issued and traded on a discount
basis and the interest is figured on a three hundred and sixty(360) day basis using the actual
number of days to maturity. They are issued in the minimum amount of Ten Thousand
Dollars ($10,000) and in multiples of Five Thousand ($5,000) thereafter.
U.S. Treasury Notes are direct obligations of the United States Government. They are
issued throughout the year with maturities from two up to thirty 30 years. Notes are coupon
securities paying a fixed amount every six (6) months. The APFA will not invest in notes
having maturities longer than five (5) years.
Federal A2eney Securities
I
Federal Agency securities are highly liquid and considered to be virtually without credit risk.
Federal Agency issues are guaranteed indirectly by the United States Government. All Agency
obligations that are fixed-rate and meet the maturity restrictions of the State Code and this Policy
qualify as legal investments and are acceptable as security for public deposits. They usually provide
highei yields than regular Treasury issues with all of the same advantages. Examples are:
j
FNMA's (Federal National Mortgage Association) are used to assist the home mortgage
market by purchasing mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration and the
Fanners Home Administration,as well as those guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.
FHLB's (Federal Home Loan Bank Notes and Bonds) are issued by the Federal Home
Loan Bank System to help finance the housing industry. The notes and bonds provide
liquidity and home mortgage credit to savings and loan associations,mutual savings banks,
cooperative banks, insurance companies and mortgage-lending institutions.
Other Federal Agency issues are Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("FHLMC"), Federal Farm Credit Bank ("FFCB"), Small Business Administration
Notes (SBA's), Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA's"), Tennessee
Valley Authority("TVA's")and the Student Loan Marketing Association("SLMA's")
Negotiable Certificate of Deposit ,
Negotiable certificates of deposit are high-grade instruments, paying a higher interest rate than
regular certificates of deposit. They are liquid because they can be traded in the secondary market.
Negotiable Certificates of Deposit ("NCD's") are unsecured obligations of the issuing financial
institution, bank or savings and loan, bought at face value with a promise to pay face value plus
accrued interest at maturity. The primary market issuance is in multiples of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000). The secondary market usually trades in denominations of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars($500,000),although smaller denominations are occasionally available. Local agencies may
not invest more than thirty percent(30%)of their surplus money in negotiable certificates of deposit.
NCD's will only be placed with the largest and most financially sound institutions.
Commercial Paper
Commercial paper allows the investment of large amounts of money on a short-term basis at rates
higher than passbook savings accounts. Commercial paper is a short-term unsecured promissory
note issued by a corporation to raise working capital. These negotiable instruments are purchased at
a discount to par value. As an example, corporations such as American Express, International
Business Machines (IBM) and General Electric issue commercial paper.
Local agencies are permitted by state law to invest in commercial paper of"prime" quality of the
highest ranking or of the highest letter and numerical raring as provided by Moody's Investor's
Service, Inc. or Standard and Poor's Corporation (Allpl or al+/pl). Purchases of eligible
commercial paper may not exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days maturity nor exceed thirty
percent (30%) of the APFA's surplus funds.
Medium-Term Corporate Notes
An agency may invest in medium term corporate notes with a maximum maturity of five years issued
by a corporation organized and operating within the United States, a depository institution licensed
by the United States Government or any state government and operating within the United States.
California Government Code Section 53601 et seg. permits cities to invest in corporations with a
rating category of"A" or better,but the APFA will limit its investments in corporate medium term
notes to those issued by corporations that have been rated "AA" or its equivalent by two (2)
nationally recognized ratings agencies.

T
Passbook Savings or Money Market Account
Passbook savings account allows us to transfer money from checking to savings and earn interest on
smaller amounts of money, which are not available for a longer-term investment.
The passbook savings account is similar to a CD except not for a fixed term. The interest rate is
much lower than CD's but the savings account provides daily liquidity and funds can be deposited
and wI ithdrawn according to our daily needs.
Mutual Funds
I
Mutual Funds allow the APFA to maintain liquidity and receive money market rates. Mutual Funds
are referred to in the Government Code, Section 53601(1),as"shares of beneficial interests issued by
diver Isified management companies". The Mutual Fund must be restricted by its prospectus to be a
"Money Market" mutual fund and be limited to the same approved investments as LAIF. These
investments include U.S. Treasury and Agency issues, Bankers Acceptances, Commercial Paper,
Repurchase Agreements,Certificates of Deposit,and Negotiable Certificates of Deposit. The quality
rating and percentage restrictions in each investment category applicable to LAIF also apply to any
Mutual Fund.
One of the stated objectives of the Mutual Fund must be to attempt to maintain a One Dollar($1.00)
Net Asset Value(NAV). A further restriction is that the purchase price of shares of any mutual fund
shall not include any sales commission. Investments in mutual funds shall not exceed fifteen percent
(15%) of the APFA's surplus money.
I
Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase Agreements are purchases of securities by the APFA under an agreement with a term of
one(1) year or less whereby the seller will"repurchase"the same securities on or before a specified
date or on demand of either party and for a specified amount. The underlying securities must be
delivered to the APFA's custodial account by book entry,physical delivery or a third-party custodial
agreement.
