F. Negotiable certificates of deposit issued by a nationally or state -chartered bank, a savings association or a federal association (as defined by Section 5102 of the Financial Code), a state or federal credit union or by a state -licensed branch of a foreign bank. However, the City shall not invest in negotiable certificates of deposit issued by a state or federal credit union if a member of the City Council or any City personnel with investment decision making authority also serves on the board of directors, or any committee appointed by the board of directors, or the credit committee or the supervisory committee of the state or federal credit union issuing the negotiable certificates of deposit. The City's investment in negotiable certificates of deposit may not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the cost value of the Fund. The amount so invested shall be subject to the limitations of Government Code Section 53638 which generally provides that the deposit shall not exceed the shareholder's equity of any depository bank, or the total net worth of any depository savings association or federal association, or the total of the unimpaired capital and surplus of an insured industrial loan company. Purchases of this category shall not exceed five years to maturity. G. Local Agency Investment Fund - State Pool - the City may invest in the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) established by the State Treasurer under California Government Code Section 16429.1 for the benefit of local agencies. LAIF provides daily liquidity; therefore, there is no final stated maturity for this investment category. Although there is no percentage limitation on this fund, the "prudent investor" rule shall apply for a single agency name. Investments in LAIF shall not exceed $65 million per account unless a greater deposit limit for regular accounts is authorized by the State Treasurer during the term of this Statement of Investment Policy, in which case City LAIF investments may increase up to that limit.
