The policy was last amended in October 2005. The Governmental Accounting Standard's Board (GASB) <br />Pronouncement 31 requires that a City must present the Investment Policy to Council annually. <br /> <br />On May 29, 2007, the Finance Department presented the Investment Policy to the Fiscal Affairs Committee for <br />review. No changes to the actual policy were recommended at that time. <br /> <br />The Government Treasurers Organization of Texas has reviewed our policy and recommended that we change the <br />reference in the authorized investments section under "Bn, Certificates of Deposit and Share Certificates from "a <br />state or national bank domiciled in this state, a savings bank domiciled in this state, or a state or federal credit union <br />domiciled in this state" to "a depository institution that has its main office or branch office in this state". This is the <br />current language in the Public Funds Investment Act. <br /> <br /> <br />Ron Bottoms, City Manager <br /> <br /> <br />'''''~ <br /> <br />Date <br />
