The <br />purchase price of shares of beneficial interest, (mutual <br />funds) purchase pursuant to this subdivision shall not <br />include any commission that these companies may charge. <br /> <br />J. Ineligible investments. Investments not described herein are <br />ineligible investments. In accordance with Section 53631.5 of <br />the Government Code, the City shall not invest any funds in <br />inverse floaters, range notes, or interest only strips that are <br />derived from a pool of mortgages. In addition, the City shall <br />not invest any funds in any security that could result in zero <br />interest accrual if held to maturity. However, prohibited <br />securities that are in the City'S portfolio, as of the date of <br />this policy adoption, may be held until their maturity dates. <br /> <br />DEPOSITORY SERVICES <br /> <br />Money must be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal <br />savings associations or state or federal credit unions in the state. <br />It may be in inactive deposits, active deposits or interest-bearing <br />active deposits. The deposits cannot exceed the amount of the <br />bank's or savings and loan's paid up capital and surplus. <br /> <br />The bank or savings and loan must secure the active and inactive <br />deposits with eligible securities having a market value of one- <br />hundred, ten percent (110%) of the total amount of the deposits. <br />State law also allows as an eligible security, first trust deeds <br />having a value of one-hundred, fifty percent (150%) of the total <br />amount of the deposits. A third class of collateral is letters of <br />credit drawn on the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). <br /> <br />The treasurer may waive, at his discretion, security for that <br />portion of a deposit which is insured pursuant to federal law. <br />Currently, the first one-hundred, thousand dollars ($100,000) of a <br />deposit is federally insured. It is to the City's advantage to <br />waive this collateral requirement for the first $100,000 because we <br />receive a higher interest rate. <br /> <br />19C-8 <br />
