(E) Equity in Pooled Cash and Investments The Agency invests cash through the City into various investment programs. Policies adopted by the City’s Investment Advisory Board and the Eugene City Council authorize the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury and its agencies, time certificates of deposit, governmental money market bank deposit accounts, bankers’ acceptances, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, commercial paper, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and the Oregon Local Government Investment Pool. It is the City’s policy to report at amortized cost all short-term, highly-liquid money market investments (including corporate bonds, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, municipal bonds, and U.S. Treasury and agency obligations) and participating interest-earning investment contracts with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of one year or less. Such investments are stated at cost, increased by accretion of discounts and reduced by amortization of premiums, both computed by the straight-line method. Callable investments purchased at a discount are amortized to the maturity date, and callable investments purchased at a premium are amortized to the first call date. Investments with a remaining maturity at time of purchase of more than one year are valued at fair value. The City maintains a common cash and investments pool for all City funds, including funds of the Agency. Interest earned on the pooled cash and investments is allocated quarterly based on each fund’s average cash and investments balance as a proportion of the City’s total pooled cash and investments. The City considers “cash” to include the pooled cash and investments, since the pool has the general characteristics of a demand deposit account, in that any participating fund may deposit additional cash at any time and also may withdraw cash at any time without prior notice or penalty. continued 23
