Weatherford College Board of Trustees
DATE: November 9, 2017 AGENDA ITEM #5
SUBJECT: Consideration and Possible Action: Annual Review of CAK Local Policy Appropriations and Revenue Sources-Investments
INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION: Education Code Section 51.0032 requires that all investments made by the College shall comply with the Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA) as per Texas Government Code Chapter 2256.005. It is required under the Public Funds Investment Act be reviewed by the state legislature on a biannual basis and any changes required by legislative action should be reported to the trustees within 180 days of the close of the legislative session. There were six bills enacted during this legislative session. I have attached a summary of the six bills that passed as well as two additional bills that did not pass.
In September 2017, I attended the required biennial training conducted by the University of North Texas Center for Public Management. After attending the training, I conducted a thorough review of the current Weatherford College (WC) investment policy required by the PFIA and the additional six new house bills in effect as of September 1, 2017. After the review and further consideration of the current (WC) investment policy there only minor changes to the Weatherford College investment policy required. At this time, I am recommending the following changes to the WC investment policy for compliance purposes as follows:
Under AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS AND AGREEMENTS (p.1), the policy states, “The College President or designee, who may be a contractor, shall serve as the investment officer of the College District and shall invest College District funds in legally authorized and adequately secured investments.” The law now requires that the person that actually receives the training must be the investment officer. Since the adoption of the PFIA in 1987, the chief financial officer (CFO) at Weatherford College has been designated by the president as “the designee” and has received biennial training to qualify as the investment officer of WC. Recently, having been advised by the Center for Public Management that this designation will no longer be adequate to satisfy compliance policy should now state in this section, “The Chief Financial Officer shall serve as the investment officer of the College District. The investment officer of the college shall be required to obtain at least 5 hours of investment training within the first twelve months of assuming duties and will be required five hours in every subsequent biennium.”
Under PORTFOLIO REPORT (p. 3), the following audit and compliance requirement statement should be added in writing to the investment policy: “A compliance audit of management controls on investments and adherence to approved investment polies shall be performed in conjunction with the annual financial audit, along with a state agency compliance audit performed at least every two years.”
Attached you will find the amended Weatherford College’s investments policy, CAK (Local) “Appropriations and Revenue Sources –Investments,” with the required changes for compliance with the PFIA.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Trustees has reviewed and approves the amended investment policy and investment strategies set out in CAK Local.

APPROPRIATIONS AND REVENUE SOURCES CAK INVESTMENTS (LOCAL)
OBJECTIVES The investment policy of the College District shall be to: 1. Ensure the safety of the invested funds of the College District; 2. Maintain sufficient liquidity to provide adequate and timely working funds; 3. Attain the highest possible rate of return while providing nec- essary protection of principal consistent with College District operating requirements as determined by the Board; 4. Match the maturity of investment instruments to the daily cash flow requirements; 5. Diversify investments as to maturity, instruments, and finan- cial institutions where permitted under state law; 6. Actively pursue portfolio management techniques; and 7. Avoid investment for speculation.
AUTHORIZED The College President or designee, who may be a contractor, shall INVESTMENTS serve as the investment officer of the College District and shall in- AGREEMENTS vest College District funds in legally authorized and adequately se- cured investments.

The investment officer of the college shall be required to obtain at least 5 hours of investment training within the first twelve months of assuming duties and will be required five hours in every subse- quent biennium.

4. No repurchase agreement shall be entered into unless a Mas- ter Repurchase Agreement has been executed between the College District and its trading partners.
CERTIFICATES OF Bids for certificates of deposit may be solicited orally, in writing, DEPOSIT electronically, or in any combination of those methods.
SAFETY AND The investment officer shall exhibit prudence and discretion in the INVESTMENT selection and management of securities. Skill and judgment shall MANAGEMENT be exercised in order that no individual or group of transactions undertaken would jeopardize the total capital sum of the overall portfolio. The College District shall not allow speculation (such as anticipating an appreciation of capital through changes in market interest rates) in the selection of any investments. The investment officer shall observe financial market indicators, study financial trends, and utilize available educational tools in order to maintain appropriate managerial expertise.
LIQUIDITY AND To meet the investment objectives of the College District, the ma- DIVERSITY turity of investments shall be targeted to coincide with the cash flow needs of the College District. Assets of the College District shall be invested in instruments whose maturities do not exceed one year at the time of purchase. Assets held in debt retirement funds may be invested in maturities exceeding one year. The investment portfolio shall be diversified to reduce the risk of loss of investment income from overconcentra- tion of assets in a specific issue, a specific issue size, or a specific class of securities. Nevertheless, the College District recognizes that in a diversified portfolio, occasional measured losses are inevitable and must be considered within the context of the overall portfolio’s investment return. Also, it is intended that investments in all funds shall be managed in such a way that any market price losses resulting from interest rate volatility shall be offset by income received from the balance of the portfolio during a 12-month period.
INTERNAL CONTROLS A system of internal controls shall be documented in writing. Also, they shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, un- anticipated changes in financial markets, or imprudent actions by employees and officers of the College District. Controls deemed most important shall include: 1. Control of collusion; 2. Separation of duties;

Funds shall not be invested in securities with stated maturities that exceed the reasonable expected expenditure time period. 2. Debt Service Funds. The College District shall maintain as its primary objective, the safety of principal with regard to all monies collected or allocated for debt service. Secondly, the College District shall seek to maximize the return on such funds while ensuring sufficient funds for timely payments of its debt obligations.

INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION: Concerning preparation for negotiations with best value vendor
RECOMMENDATION: A called meeting of the Selection Committee to determine requests for supplemental information from selected vendor to clarify parameters of its proposal and to determine the strategy for negotiations.
ATTACHMENTS: UPDATE ON VENDOR SELECTION PROCESS
SUBMITTED BY: Dan Curlee, General Counsel UPDATE ON VENDOR SELECTION PROCESS
All evaluation forms have been turned in by the Selection Committee and Mrs. Hobbs has summarized the ratings. According to your evaluation of the proposals, the best value vendor, with the highest cumulative ratings, has been identified. The number one and two ratings were fairly close. The other two respondents’ ratings were significantly lower. The ranking of the respondents to the RFP will be presented in a closed session, however there will be no public announcement of the ranking of the respondents until negotiations are completed.
The next task of the Selection Committee is to prepare to negotiate with the best value respondent (BVR). That preparation entails these steps:
1. Check the reference that BVR provided in their proposal. a. Determine who will make the calls b. Create summaries of reference’s response and provide the summaries to the committee and Mrs. Hobbs for her records. 2. Convene a meeting of the Selection Committee to, a. Review the reference summaries to determine if negotiations seem advisable, b. Determine questions to submit to BVR prior to engaging in negotiations, c. Determine a negotiating process and a general negotiating strategy. I will prepare an analysis of the BVR proposal with some suggestion for things that need to be made clearer by BVR for your consideration in anticipation of the meeting referenced in #2 above.
After the preparation steps have been accomplished, negotiations will begin. If the negotiations result in what the committee considers to be an acceptable outcome, the next step is a board of trustees meeting to formally accept the vendor and the contract terms. Following that, the award is communicated to all respondents.
If an acceptable agreement is not achieved with the BVR, the committee repeats the process with respondent with the second highest evaluation.
