Investments not described herein are ineligible investments. In accordance with Section 53631.5 of the Government Code, the City shall not invest any funds in inverse floaters, range notes, or interest only strips that are derived from a pool of mortgages. In addition, the City shall not invest any funds in any security that could result in zero interest accrual if held to maturity. However, prohibited securities that are in the City' s portfolio, as of the date of this policy adoption, may be held until their maturity dates. DEPOSITORY SERVICES Money must be deposited in state or national banks, state or federal savings associations or state or federal credit unions in the state. It may be in inactive deposits, active deposits or interest-bearing active deposits. The deposits cannot exceed the amount of the bank's or savings and loan's paid up capital and surplus. The bank or savings and loan must secure the active and inactive deposits with eligible securities having a market value of one- hundred, ten percent (110) of the total amount of the deposits. State law also allows as an eligible security, first trust deeds having a value of one-hundred, fifty percent (150%) of the total amount of the deposits. A third class of collateral is letters of credit drawn on the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The treasurer may waive, at his discretion, security for that portion of a deposit which is insured pursuant to federal law. Currently, the first two-hundred, fifty-thousand dollars ($250,000) of a deposit is federally insured. It is to the City's advantage to waive this collateral requirement for the first $250,000 because we receive a higher interest rate. 19D-7
