PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
Ordinance is presented to the Board on an annual basis. Ordinance for calendar year 2019 was adopted on January 8, 2019. This Ordinance was introduced and first reading waived on January 21, 2020.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Prior to being amended by the State Legislature, Government Code sections 27000 and 53607 allowed the Board of Supervisors to delegate the authority to invest or reinvest the funds of the county, and the funds of other depositors in the county treasury, until that authority was revoked by the Board. As a direct result of the Orange County investment issues and subsequent bankruptcy, legislative changes have mandated that the Board must annually delegate the authority to invest or reinvest the funds of the county and the funds of other depositors in the county treasury. As a result of this legislation it is necessary to adopt the attached ordinance for the calendar year 2020, amending section 5.130.010 adopted for the calendar year 2019, delegating this authority to the Treasurer.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Do not adopt and provide direction on investment of county funds.
