This award is for the FY 2013 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) that was presented to the Board last November. The award recognition goes to the team in the Finance Department for stepping up and working hard to complete an award worthy annual financial report. I want to especially thank several members of the Finance Department for their extraordinary work in the report: Barb Klendworth, Accountant; Emily Shifflett, Accountant; Terri Knight, Customer Service Supervisor; with assistance from Cecilia Allen, Accounting Technician; and Tonya Foster; Accounting Technician. The GFOA Certificate of Achievement is the highest recognition in governmental finance. The ACSA has had a track record of excellence, and that continues with the award and recognition. We are looking forward to the future, and with the addition of Quin Lunsford we have a very strong financial team. 010101AgendaItemExecSummGFOACertRecogMemo081214 Albemarle County Service Authority Board of Directors 1 The Board of Directors of the Albemarle County Service Authority (ACSA) met in 2 a regular session on July 17, 2014 at 9:00 a.m. at the Administration and 3 Operations Center at 168 Spotnap Road in Charlottesville, Virginia. 4 Members Present: Mr. Roberts, Chairman, Mr. Kittrell, Vice-Chairman, Mr. 5 Tolbert, Ms. Hueston, Ms. Sulzberger, and Ms. Swanson. 6 Members Absent: None 7 Staff Present: Messrs.

Approve Minutes of June 19, 2014 (Recording Time: 09:05:25 a.m.) 17 The Chairman asked if there were any corrections or additions to the 18 minutes of May 15, 2014. 19 Ms. Sulzberger stated that she had three corrections to the minutes.

Monthly Financial Reports – Ms. Swanson stated that she had a 16 question regarding last month’s sale of the Federal Home Loan Bank 17 (FHLB) bond. She asked what the previous percentage was on the 18 FHLB that was sold. Mr. Lunsford replied that he believed the bond 19 was sold in May at $107 per share, and purchased in June at $97 per 20 share. He stated that the ACSA was advised that May was a good time 21 to sell and June was a good time to buy. He stated that there had been 22 a lot of trading activity in the last two months, but he did not envision the 23 ACSA trading those investments for some years. He added that 24 currently the ACSA was in a hold position. Ms. Swanson asked if the 25 FHLB bond was liquid. Mr. Lunsford replied that the bond had a two 26 year call protection. He stated that the ACSA could sell the bond as 27 deemed necessary, but that it was not likely to be a reasonable option 28 for the short term future.
