thatthe transfer was requested to meetthe need of all projects specified for the year. Finance
Director Michael Dolby and Treasurer Shelley Wolny commented thatone of the projects in Fund
003 (Utility CIP) went over the estimated amount provided to Financein preparation for the Fiscal
Year 2012 budget. The estimated amount for 2011 total project costs was lower than the original
budget. The remaining balance went to the bottom line fund balance and then reallocated for
upcoming 2012 projects. However, the project actually turned out to cost more than the revised
estimate. It was still within the original budget;but based on the revised estimate that was given,
the funds were allocated elsewhere. The $200,000.00transfer is to cover the new projects that
were approved with the 2012 budget to keep the fund from going negative.

Investment Strategy Statement
The City of La Porte, Texas (the "City") will strive to administer and invest its pooled
funds at the highest investment return possible while always taking into account the
primary goals of preservation of principal and liquidity of funds invested consistent with
the City's investment policy.
The City's funds, which are pooled together and constitute the investment portfolio,
include all financial assets of all funds managed by the City, including but not limited to
receipts of tax revenues, charges for services, bond proceeds, interest incomes, loans and
funds received by the City where the City performs a custodial function.
The City will never invest its funds in a security that is deemed unsuitable to the financial
requirements of the City. Maturities will be staggered in a manner that meets the cash
flow needs of the City.
The primary investment objective is the preservation and safety of principal. Each
investment transaction shallseek first to ensure that principal losses are avoided, whether
they are from security defaults or erosion of market value.
The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet
operating requirements that might be reasonably anticipated. Liquidity shall be achieved
by matching investment maturities with forecasted cash flow requirements and by
investing in securities with active secondary markets.
The City shall always maintain a highly diversified investment portfolio in order to
reduce the amount of credit and market risk exposed to the City's portfolio.
After first considering safety and liquidity, the City's investment portfolio shall be
designed with the objective of regularly exceeding the average rate of return on U.S.
Treasury Bills at a maturity level comparable to the City’s weighted average maturity in
days. The City shall seek to augment returns above this threshold consistent with risk
limitations identified in the City's investment policy and prudent investment principles.
