EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT BOARD FINANCE COMMITTEE AGENDA STATEMENT MEETING DATE – Monday February 28, 2018 SUBJECT: December 31, 2017 Investment Report and Portfolio Review Prepared by: Deborah Spaulding, Assistant Finance Officer ATTACHMENTS: A. Investment Balances for Period Ending December 31, 2017 B. PFM Investment Performance Review for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 C. Total Cash & Investments by Type RECOMMENDATION: Review the December 31, 2017 Investment Report and direct staff to prepare the information for acceptance by the Board of Directors. DESCRIPTION: In accordance with Board Operating Guidelines and the District’s Investment Policy, the attached report has been prepared on the District’s cash and investments. The total market value of the District’s pooled cash and investments as of December 31, 2017 was $226,321,444. Bond funds held by trustees were an additional $135,415,216. The pooled cash and investments held by the District of $226.3 million as of December 31, 2017 reflects an increase in market value of $20.9 million, when compared to funds held at the end of the last quarter, $205.4 million. This is mainly the result of the timing of property tax revenue receipts, which are the largest source of District revenue, and which the District receives primarily in two large annual payments, in December and April. During the first and third quarter of the year, cash balances diminish; cash balances replenish again in quarters two and four. As an additional point of reference, the market value of pooled cash and investments as of December 31, 2016 was $221.8 million. Bond funds held by fiscal agents for debt service and bond project funds totaled $135.4 million, approximately $91.8 million more than funds held as of September 30, 2017. The primary reason for the increase was that in November, the District issued $80 million in new Measure WW bonds and refunded $44.5 million in 2009 Measure WW debt. Additionally, the required funds for bonded debt service were levied. The District uses the firm PFM to advise the District on its investments. The PFM report attached as Attachment B provides an overview of the District’s invested funds and strategy for the portfolio. In addition to funds managed by PFM, $64.9 million of District funds were invested in LAIF, the Local Agency Investment Fund, a State managed investment alternative for California's local governments. Agenda Item No. 1 1 In the fourth quarter of 2017, the District was continuing to transition its banking relationship from Wells Fargo Bank to Bank of the West. As a result, this statement reflects two accounts that each hold a portion the District’s pooled cash. As of December 31st, the Wells Fargo accounts were still being used for payroll, while the accounts payable function was fully transferred to Bank of the West. The transition to Bank of the West is expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter of 2018. The following is a description of the information provided in the report Attachments: • Attachment A provides comparative investment balance information between the current quarter, the prior quarter and the same period one year ago. • Attachment B provides an Investment Performance Review of all investments managed by PFM. Allison Kaune, Senior Managing Consultant from PFM, will provide a market update and detailed information about District investments during the fourth quarter of 2017. • Attachment B, page 11 provides information on the managed portfolio maturity and credit quality. Staff will continue to work with PFM in the coming year to increase the portfolio maturity, which will increase interest earnings while maintaining the necessary liquidity to meet operating and capital cash requirements. • Attachment B, page 12 shows that the District’s invested funds as of December 31, 2017 complied with the Board approved 2017 Investment Policy. The District’s cash management program provides sufficient liquidity to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months. • Attachment B, beginning on page 28 provides detailed information on all securities held and managed by PFM. • Attachment C shows all District cash and investments by type (including funds not managed by PFM). This report is provided to the Board Finance Committee for review and recommendation to the full Board of Directors for acceptance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff requests that the Board Finance Committee recommend to the full Board of Directors acceptance of the December 31, 2017 Investment Report. 2 Attachment A EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT INVESTMENT BALANCES For Period Ending December 31, 2017 District Cash and Investment Balances current quarter prior quarter prior year Market Value Amortized Cost Basis Market Value Market Value December 31, 2017 December 31, 2017 September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 Pooled Investments Managed by CFO Wells Fargo Checking $ 79,791 $ 79,791 $ 110,296 $ 1,175 Short-term Investments Wells Fargo Sweep 3,666,777 3,666,777 9,495,282 5,102,914 Bank of the West Sweep 4,254,956 4,254,956 5,000,000 - LAIF 64,875,734 64,999,654 56,242,820 50,000,000 CAMP 57,104,049 57,104,049 47,846,563 90,837,720 1st Am Govern Fund-US Bank investment custodian 157,306 157,306 10,061,142 71,417 Sub-total 130,138,613 130,262,533 128,756,103 146,013,226 Mid-term Securities US Treasuries 39,265,793 39,506,758 22,872,822 19,020,382 Federal Agencies/Instrumentalities 20,294,027 20,532,333 20,369,357 27,265,094 State/Local Agencies 1,373,966 1,380,448 1,376,235 2,978,392 Supra-National Agency Bonds/Notes 3,121,510 3,158,549 2,364,488 1,173,530 Corporate Bonds/CP/CDs 32,127,534 32,328,081 29,618,139 25,327,132 Sub-total 96,182,831 96,906,170 76,601,041 75,764,531 Total Pooled Cash/Investments 226,321,444 227,168,702 205,357,145 221,777,756 Bond Funds Managed by Fiscal Agents Short-term Investments 2012 Prom Note Proj Fund (Dreyfus non-AMT tax free) 1,109,641 1,109,641 1,195,005 16,804 2012 Debt Service (Dreyfus) 140 140 - 12 Measure AA Project Fund - - - 15,496,877 US Bank Measure AA Bond (Managed by CFO) 13,339,227 13,339,227 14,272,370 - Measure WW 2013 Project Fund 5,288,650 5,288,650 5,274,254 23,698,846 Measure AA Debt Service Fund 583,544 583,544 7,821 1,014,194 Measure WW Debt Service Fund 7,566,774 7,566,774 3,073,550 6,923,911 Measure WW 2017 Capitalized Interest 7,127,840 7,127,840 - - Measure WW 2017 Project Funds 79,775,191 79,775,191 - - Mid-term securities 2012 Prom Note Project Fund (State/Local Agencies) 20,624,209 20,685,203 20,733,859 22,075,885 Measure WW Project Fund (US Treasuries) - - - - Measure WW Project Fund (Federal Agencies) - - - - Measure WW Project Fund (Corp notes /CP) - - - - Long-term investment - - - - Total Bond Funds 135,415,216 135,476,210 43,576,951 69,226,530 Grand Total District Cash/Investments $ 361,736,660 $ 362,644,913 $ 248,934,095 $ 291,004,286 Investment Earnings (accrual basis): quarter ended year-to-date at year-to-date at December 31, 2017 December 31, 2017 December 31, 2016 Short-term Investments $ 387,008 $ 1,592,402 $ 851,386 Mid-term Investments 371,176 1,227,916 1,751,736 Long-term Investments - - - Total Investment Earnings $ 758,185 $ 2,820,318 $ 2,603,121 Investment Fees: quarterly ytd fees Wells Fargo account fees $ 3,412 $ 19,713 US Bank Custodial fees $ 625 $ 1,250 PFM invest mgt fees/US Bank custodial fees $ 19,153 77,558 Total $ 23,189 $ 98,521 I verify that this report contains the total amounts of cash and investments at December 31, 2017 The investments are in conformity with the Investment Policy as stated in Resolution # 2017-03-054, dated March 7, 2017.
