Re: 2016 — 3 Quarter Treasury Report: Summary and Narrative
The City's Investment Portfolio
The City's investment activities are governed by State regulations and the City of Yakima's
Investment Policy, as revised September 6, 2011.
The City's Investment Portfolio can be divided into two general categories:
1) A Liquidity Portfolio of overnight investments. This category generally consists of funds
invested in the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP or "Pool ") managed by the State
Treasurer, and currently, a savings account held by a local financial institution.
2) An Investment Portfolio of time deposits and various securities with maturities normally not
to exceed five years except when conditions warrant, and then up to eight years.
The City's Investment Portfolio had very little activity during the third quarter of 2016. Interest rates
rose ever so slightly, but it was enough to stop the call activity that affected the City in the second
quarter. Since agencies in whose bonds the City invests could not refinance at lower rates, things
were very quiet.
It is the City's practice to hold investments to maturity if they are not called (refinanced) by the
issuer. Interest rates have been extremely low over the past several years beginning when the
Federal Reserve drastically lowered the federal funds rate over the course of 2008 from 4.25% to
almost zero. An historic first for the Fed, the rate was held at nearly zero until December 16, 2015
when they raised it one quarter of one percent to 0.25 %. Despite the Fed's action, the economy has
gained only tentative traction and the Recovery continues to flag, stall and then move cautiously
forward again. It is anticipated that the Fed will raise the rate slightly this December.
During the quarter no investments were called (as opposed to five calls in the second quarter). One
security matured. Funds were not reinvested so that cash flow needs would not be strained during
the final quarter of 2016.
The LGIP (Local Government Investment Pool) earnings rate has improved significantly due to the
Fed's rate hike last December. After closing 2014 at 0.10 %, 2015 LGIP rates hovered around
0.13% - 0.14% all year until December which closed 2015 at 0.25 %. The yield averaged 0.45% in
the second quarter of 2016 and continued its slow climb to 0.50% at the end of the third quarter.
Rates in the LGIP tend to be lower due to the short term nature of the investments. The City can
access these funds overnight without penalty. This feature means that the State Treasurer must
keep a significant amount of the LGIP portfolio in lower paying, short term investments.
Longer term rates are generally higher than short term rates due to increased risk. Long term rates
have risen more than short term, but the City does not generally purchase investments with
maturities of more than 5 years due to risk and liquidity concerns. Even so, long term rates are still
far below pre- recession levels. While this is good news for home buyers and agencies issuing new
debt, the volatility adds extra risk to the debt marketplace. An issuer can get lucky on a downturn or
find themselves with a higher rate than anticipated due to an upswing.
The City's Bonded Debt Schedule
The City's debt is typically structured with debt principal payments in the second and fourth quarter.
As such only a couple of principal payments were made during the quarter.
Interfund Borrowings and Investments
Ordinance 2013 -011 authorizes the Director of Finance and Budget to execute Interfund loans
when appropriate. Interfund borrowing is financially advantageous in some situations where cash is
needed but a formal financing is cost prohibitive due to a relatively short term need. Funds having
excess cash balances in reserve (such as the Equipment Replacement and Reserve Fund or a
Utility fund that has reserves for future plant improvements) can earn a higher rate of interest than
with an investment made under the City's investment policy, yet the borrowing fund has a lower
interest and debt cost than would be required by an external financing.
The biggest obstacle to Interfund loans is the impact on a fund balance. External financing allows
the borrowing fund to record revenue for the amount of the loan to offset the cost of whatever
project is being financed. This practice keeps the borrowing fund's Fund Balance whole. Internal
borrowing does not allow this recording of revenue and therefore the fund balance is depleted by
the project cost even though the fund has sufficient working capital due to the borrowed cash. This
rule does not properly reflect the financial solvency of the borrowing fund in financial reports.
Unfortunately, this idiosyncrasy in the accounting rules prevents the City from taking better
advantage of interfund cash capacity.
At the end of 2015 the Interfund Loan established in 2012 to pay for improvements at Kiwanis Park
was paid off. This loan had been established between the REET and ER &R funds. REET paid
approximately $21,000 in interest costs. It is estimated that using external financing would have
cost $32,000 in interest through the City's former Line of Credit with a local bank. A private
placement bond or bank loan would have required attorney fees of approximately $7,000 to 9,000 in
addition to the higher interest costs.
Public Safety Communications, Fund 151 was budgeted to borrow $720,000 in 2015 as a result of
their move to the new Communications Center. That loan was drawn upon in the amount of
$300,000 in March and an additional $150,000 in June.
In anticipation of expected financings in 2017, interfund loans are likely to be used to start projects
while preparing to enter more formal external and longer term financing arrangements.

Funds in Negative Cash Position at Quarter End Balance Cash Extended by:
Fund 151 - Public Safety Communications - Interfund Loan
The Public Safety Communications Fund borrowed from the Equipment Replacement and Reserve Fund to provide working capital while they recover from the excess
cash outflow caused by the move to the new Communications Center last year. The original loan amount was budgeted at $720,000 but thus far the fund is surviving
on just $450,000.
Fund 321 - Central Business District (148,095)
The CBD fund has been paying costs associated with the Plaza without reimbursement by REET or donations as of quarter end. It is expected that interfund financing
will be used as a bridge until such time as longer term financing can be obtained in efficient form and terms.
Fund 332 - Fire Capital (448,069)
The Fire Capital fund is overexpended as of the end of the third quarter. Interfund financing will be implemented before year end to carry the fund over until the City
can participate in LOCAL financing through the State of Washington. Several fire apparatus and other equipment have been acquired with this low cost form of
financing in prior years. This financing was budgeted in 2016.
