MEMORANDUM
TO: EDC/CDC Board
Joey Grisham, Director of Economic Development
FROM: Alan Guard, Finance Director
DATE: July 15, 2022
SUBJECT: EDC/CDC Funds Investment
One of the responsibilities of the Finance Department is to invest City funds. The three main
goals of the City’s investment policy are (in priority order):
1. Safety
2. Liquidity
3. Return on investment
Since the sale of the business park, the EDC/CDC bank accounts are now in excess of $13
million dollars. During the last two years, the City has received an interest rate of 0.55% on our
deposits in Independent Bank. Since the Federal Reserve has begun to raise interest rates, we
have been notified that the bank has been offering 1-year, 18-month, and 2-year Certificates of
Deposit at 1.5%, 2.0% and 2.1%, respectively.
If the EDC/CDC does not expect to expend all of these funds during the next 12 months, it
would be in their best interest to invest a portion of these funds in a Certificate of Deposit. These
are very safe investments and would increase the return on investment significantly.
I would request that the board discuss this matter at the next regularly scheduled board meeting
and provide me with some direction on whether or not there is a desire in making such an
investment, and in what amount, and for what time period. Please let me know how you would
like to proceed.

INVESTMENT POLICY
I. POLICY
The City will conform to all federal, state, and local statutes, rules, and regulations
governing the investment policy of the City of Anna (the “City”). It is the City’s policy
to administer and invest its funds in a manner that will preserve the principal, maintain
liquidity, and optimize earnings while meeting the daily cash flow requirements of the
of the City and the guidelines to be followed in achieving its objectives.
The City’s policy is to hold investments to maturity; however, securities may be sold
in order to minimize the potential loss of principal and interest whose credit quality has
declined; or to meet unanticipated liquidity needs of the City.
The policy and strategy shall be reviewed by the Investment Committee and City
Council at least annually. Any modifications will be formally approved by the City
Council. The investment policy, as approved, is in compliance with the provisions of
the Public Funds Investment Act of the Texas Government Code Chapter 2256. The
investment policy addresses the methods, procedures and practices that must be
exercised to ensure effective and judicious fiscal management of the City’s funds.
II. SCOPE
This policy applies to all financial assets and investment activities of all current funds
of the City of Anna, Texas and any new funds created in the future, unless specifically
exempt or excluded hereafter, will be administered in accordance with the objectives
and restrictions set forth in this Investment Policy. These funds are accounted for in
the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and include: General Fund,
Special Revenue Funds, Grant Funds, Debt Service Funds, Capital Project Funds,
Enterprise Funds, Trust Funds, and the City’s component units.
This policy does not apply to the assets administered for the benefit of the City by
outside agencies under deferred compensation programs, retirement programs, or
defeased bonds held in trust escrow accounts.
Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City of Anna will combine
cash balances from all funds in a pooled fund group to maximize investment earnings.
Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective
participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In
addition, all the bond fund proceeds (to include capital projects, debt service and
reserve funds) will be managed by the governing debt ordinance and the provisions
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to the issuance of tax-exempt
obligations and the investment of debt proceeds.
III. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND STRATEGY
The primary objectives of the City of Anna’s investment activities, listed in priority
order, shall be as follows:
4 | P a g e
A. Preservation and Safety of Principal
Preservation and safety of principal is the foremost objective of the City. Each
investment transaction shall seek first to ensure that capital losses are avoided,
whether they are from issuer defaults, erosion of market value, or other risks. The
objectives will be to mitigate credit and interest rate risk.
i. Credit Risk and Concentration of Credit Risk – The City will minimize credit risk,
which is the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, and
concentration of credit risk, the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of
investment in a single issuer, by:
• Limiting investments to the types listed in safest types of investments,
• Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and
advisers with which the City will do business, and
• Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual
securities will be minimized.
ii. Interest Rate Risk – The City will minimize interest rate risk, which is the risk
that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in
market interest rates, by:
• Limiting investments to the safest types of investments,
• Limiting maximum weighted average maturity of the investment portfolio to
365 days,
• Structure the investment portfolio so that investments mature to meet cash
requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to liquidate
investments prior to maturity, and
• Diversify maturities and staggering purchase dates to minimize the impact
of market movements over time.
B. Liquidity
The City's investment portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the City to
meet all operating requirements that can be reasonably anticipated. This is
accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with
cash needs to meet anticipated demands. Furthermore, since all possible cash
demand cannot be anticipated, a portion of the portfolio will be invested in money
market funds that seek a stable $1.00 NAV or local government inv estment pools
that offer same-day liquidity for short-term needs.
C. Public Trust
All employees involved in the City’s investment program shall seek to act
responsibly as custodians of the public trust. Investment Officers shall at all times
be cognizant of the standard of care and investment objectives and shall avoid any
transaction that might impair public confidence in the City’s ability to govern
effectively.
5 | P a g e
D. Yield
The investment portfolio of the City shall be designed to attain a market rate of
return throughout budgetary and economic cycles taking into account risk
constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment, while important, is of less
importance than safety and liquidity. The investment portfolio shall be designed
with the objective of regularly exceeding the average rate of return on a six-month
U.S. Treasury Bill.
Funds held for future capital projects will be invested in securities that can
reasonably be expected to produce enough income to offset inflationary costs
increases. However, such funds will never be unduly exposed to market price risks
that will jeopardize that asset’s availability to accomplish their stated goal or be
invested in a matter inconsistent with applicable federal and state regulations.
Yields on debt proceeds that are not exempt from federal arbitrage regulations are
limited to the arbitrage yield of the debt obligation. Investment officials will seek to
preserve principal and maximize the yield of these funds in the same manner as
all other City funds. However, it is understood that if the yield achieved by the City
is higher than the arbitrage yield, positive arbitrage income will be averaged over
a five-year period and netted against any negative arbitrage income and the
positive arbitrage amount shall be rebated to the federal government as required
by current regulations.
E. Strategy
The City maintains pooled investments which are an aggregation of the majority of
City funds including tax receipts, enterprise funds, fine and fee revenues, special
revenues, grants, and non-bond capital project funds. This portfolio is maintained
to meet anticipated daily cash needs for City operations and capital projects. The
objectives of this portfolio are to ensure safety of principal; ensure adequate
investment liquidity; limit market and credit risk through diversification; and attain
a market rate of return in accordance with the objectives and restrictions set for in
this Policy. All investments will be of high quality with no perceived default risk.
i. Operating Funds – Operating Funds generally have greater cash flow needs
than other types of funds and therefore require the greatest short-term liquidity
of the Fund types. Investment strategies for operating funds and commingled
pools containing funds have as their primary objective to assure that anticipated
cash flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity. The sec ondary
objective is to create a portfolio structure which will experience minimal volatility
during economic cycles. This may be accomplished by purchasing quality,
short to medium term securities which will complement each other in a laddered
structure. Of utmost importance is the preservation and safety of the
investment principal.
6 | P a g e
ii. Debt Service Funds – Investment strategies for Debt Service Funds shall have
as the primary objective the assurance of investment liquidity adequate to cover
the debt service obligation on the required payment date. Securities purchased
shall not have a stated final maturity date which exceeds the debt service
payment date. Surplus funds outside the debt service dates will be invested
according to the investment guidelines for operating funds.
iii. Capital Project Funds and Special Purpose Funds – The investment objective
of capital project funds is to schedule maturities to maximize investment
earnings while preserving principal. Funds for capital projects or special
purposes should allow for flexibility and unanticipated project outlays by having
a portion of their investments in highly liquid securities. The key to an effective
strategy is to be aware of project needs and match maturities to the period
funds. The stated final maturity dates of securities held should not exceed the
estimated project completion date.
IV. STANDARDS OF CARE
A. Prudence
The standard of prudence to be used by investment officers shall be the “prudent
person” rule. This rule states that “Investments shall be made with judgement and
care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion
and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for
speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as
well as the probable income to be derived”. The determination of whether an
investing officer has exercised prudence with respect to an investment decision
shall be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio rather tha n a
consideration as to the prudence of a single transaction.
Investment officers acting in accordance with written procedures and this
investment policy and exercising due diligence shall be relieved of personal
responsibility for an individual security’s credit risk or market price changes,
provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and
appropriate action is taken to control unfavorable developments.
B. Ethics and Conflict of Interest
Each Investment Officer shall act as custodian of the public trust avoiding any
transaction which might involve a conflict of interest, the appearance of a conflict
of interest, or any activity which might otherwise discourage public confidence. An
Investment Officer shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict
with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair his/her
ability to make impartial investment decisions.
They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could
be related to the performance of the investment portfolio and shall refrain from
7 | P a g e
undertaking personal investment transactions with any individual with whom
business is conducted on behalf of the City of Anna. Additionally, an Investment
Officer shall file with the Texas Ethics Commission and the City Council a
statement disclosing any material interest they hold in financial institutions with
which they conduct business with on behalf of the City or any relationship with an
entity seeking to sell investments to the City or any relationship with the second
degree by affinity or consanguinity to an individual seeking to sell investments to
the City as determined under Chapter 573 of the Texas Government Code.
C. Delegation of Authority
i. Investment Officers and Training - The Assistant City Manager, Finance
Director, and Accounting Manager shall be the Investment Officers. The
Investment Officers shall oversee and approve any deposit, withdrawal,
investment, transfer, documentation, and otherwise manage City funds
according to this Policy. No person may engage in an investment transaction
or the management of funds except as provided under the terms of the
Investment Policy, the Statement of Investment Strategy, and other operatio nal
procedures established by the Finance Director.
As stipulated in the PFIA Chapter 2256.008, in order to ensure qualified and
capable investment management, within twelve (12) months after taking office
or assuming duties, each Investment Officer shall attend training relating to
his/her investment responsibilities and accumulate not less than ten (10) hours
of instruction. On an ongoing basis, all Investment Officers shall receive not
less than eight (8) hours of instruction in each subsequent two -year period that
begins on the first day of the City's fiscal year and consists of the two
consecutive fiscal years after that date. Training will be conducted by an
independent source approved by the Investment Committee and must include
education in investment controls, security risks, strategy risks, market risks,
diversification of investment portfolio, and compliance with the Public Funds
Investment Act.
ii. Investment Committee - The Committee shall monitor the investment activities;
assist in the development of investment policies, strategies and procedures;
and annually review and approve the City’s broker/dealers and independent
training sources.
D. Internal Control
The Finance Director will establish and maintain a system of internal controls to
ensure that the assets are protected from loss, theft, or misuse. The internal
control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost
of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of
costs and benefits requires estimates and judgement by management.
8 | P a g e
Accordingly, the Finance Director shall establish a process for an independent
review by an external officer to assure complia nce with policies and procedures.
This annual compliance is required by the “Public Funds Investment Act” (PFIA)
[Section 2256.005m]. Controls deemed most important include, but are not limited
to:
• Control of collusion
• Separation of duties
• Separating transaction authority from accounting and record -keeping
• Custodial safekeeping
• Avoidance of physical delivery securities
• Clear delegation of authority
• Documentation of transactions
• Dual authorization of fed wire transfers
• Compliance with investment policies
• Accurate and timely investment reports
• Documentation of investment bidding

10 | P a g e
In establishing specific diversification strategies, the following general policies and

regional banks and about 5,700 commercial banks that are members of the system.
Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSE’s): Payment of principal and interest on
securities issues by these corporations is not guaranteed explicitly by the U.S.
government; however, must investors consider these securities to carry an implicit
U.S. government guarantee. The debt is fully guaranteed by the issuing corporations.
GSE’s include: Farm Credit System, Federal Home Loan Bank System, Federal Home
18 | P a g e
Loan Mortgage System, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and Federal

Liquidity Risk: The risk that an investment will be difficult to sell at a fair market price
in a timely fashion.
Market Risk: The risk that the value of a security will rise or decline as a result of
changes in market conditions. It is that part of a security’s risk that is common to all
securities of the same general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated
by diversification; also known as systematic risk.
Market Value: the price at which a security is trading and could presumably be
purchased or sold.
Master Repurchase Agreement: A written contract coverall all future transactions

becomes due and payable.
Mortgage-Backed Securities: Securities composed of, or collateralized by, loans

Premium: The amount by which the price paid for a security exceeds its face value.
Primary Dealer: A group of government securities dealers that submit daily reports of
market activity and positions and monthly financial statements to the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York and are subject to its informal oversight. Primary dealers include
19 | P a g e
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), registered securities broker-dealers,
banks, and few unregulated firms.
Principal: The face or par value of an instrument, exclusive of accrued interest.
Prudent Person Rule: An investment standard. In some states the law requires that
a fiduciary, such as a trustee, may invest money only in a list of securities selected by
the state. In other states the trustee may invest in a security if it is one which would
be bought by a prudent person of discretion and intelligence who is seeking a
reasonable income and preservation of capital.
Rate of Return: The amount of income received from an investment, expressed as a
percentage. A market rate of return is yield that an investor can expect to receive in
the current interest-rate environment utilizing a buy-and-hold to maturity investment
strategy.
Reinvestment Rate: The interest rate earned on the reinvestment of coupon
payments.
Reinvestment Rate Risk: The risk that the actual reinvestment rate falls short of the
expected or assumed reinvestment rate.
Repurchase Agreement (RP or REPO): A type of agreement in which an investor
exchanges cash for securities with a primary dealer or bank and earns a fixed rate of
interest for a specific period. At the end of the period, securities are returned for
principal along with accrued interest. Dealers and banks use repo proceeds to finance
their inventory positions.
Safekeeping: A procedure where securities are held by a third party acting as
custodian for a fee.
Secondary Market: A market made for the purchase and sale of outstanding issues
following initial distribution.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): Agency created by Congress to
protect investors in securities transactions by administering securities legislation.
Settlement Date: The purchase (or sale) date of a security on which the money
actually changes hand.
Spread: Most commonly used when referring to the difference between the bid and
asked prices in a quote. Additionally, it may also refer to additional basis points that
a non-Treasury security earns over and above a Treasury with a comparable maturity
date.
Treasury Bills: A non-interest-bearing discount security issued by the U.S. Treasury,
generally having initial maturities of 3 months, 6 months, or 1 year.
20 | P a g e
Treasury Bonds: Long-term, coupon bearing U.S. Treasury securities having initial
maturities of more than 10 years.
Treasury Notes: Intermediate-term, coupon bearing U.S. Treasury securities having
initial maturities of 2-10 years.
Unrealized Gain or Loss: The amount of profit (or loss) that would be reflected on
the sale of a security if that security were sold. The unrealized gain or loss is
calculated by taking the difference between book value and market value of the
security at any given point in time.
Weighted Average Maturity (WAM): This common term, usually expressed in
number of days, represents a dollar-weighted average of the remaining term to
maturity of all assets in a pool or securities portfolio. A longer WAM generally indicates
higher market risk.
Yield: The return, expressed as a percentage, that a security will earn as a result of
both the coupon rate and any discount earned or premium paid. A yield will exceed
the coupon if purchased at a discount (and vice-versa).
Yield Curve: The relationship between yields and maturity dates for a set of similar
bonds, usually Treasuries, at a given point in time. A yield curve is a standard
measure of risk and return and answers the question “How much additional yield will
I earn if I extend my maturity and assume additional market risk?”.
Yield-to-Maturity: The expected rate of return of a bond if it is held to its maturity
date; calculated by taking into account the current market price, stated redemption
value, coupon payments and time to maturity and assuming all coupons are
reinvested at the same rate; equivalent to the internal rate of return (IRR).

The Ask
•We were asked to determine the return on investment for the media
dollars spent on the Anna EDC’s behalf this fiscal year.
•As we do not have access to end-to-end conversion data (i.e., media
generated lead to actual business generated), we can report on two key
media measures that collectively determine the success of our digital
advertising efforts:
•Clicks to the website directly attributable to our advertising
•Conversions on the website directly attributable to our advertising
Media Measures
•Clicks
•Since the start of the current fiscal year, our digital advertising has been seen 3.7
million times and has caused 7,637 targeted consumers to click through to the
website.
•Our target audiences are commercial real estate brokers and business leaders in DFW
•Our cost per click can be computed at $2.68
•Conversions
•The 7,637 consumers who have clicked through to the Anna EDC website as a direct
result of our advertising has accounted for 202 conversions (2.65% conversion rate)
•We define conversions as persons who clicked the View Available Properties and/or the
Download Area Map tabs on the website
•Our cost per conversion can be computed at $101.30
