CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> <br />NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <br />FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2022 <br /> <br />  <br />Note 2: Cash and Investments (Continued) <br /> <br />For investments, custodial risk is the risk that in the event of failure of a depository financial <br />institution or a counter party (e.g., broker-dealer) to a transaction, the City will not be <br />able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the <br />possession of another party. The City’s investments, with the exception of money market <br />funds, certificates of deposit and LAIF, are held in the name of the City for safekeeping <br />by a third-party custodian, Bank of New York Mellon (BNYM). BNYM is a registered <br />member of the Federal Reserve Bank. The City’s PARS Trust is held by a third-party <br />custodian, U.S. Bank. Securities held on the City’s behalf by its third-party custodian <br />are not at risk or commingled with other entities' securities, therefore removing the <br />custodial risk for the City. <br /> <br />f. External Investment Pool <br /> <br />As of June 30, 2022, the City had $34,549,389 invested in the California Local Agency <br />Investment Fund (LAIF), a State of California external investment pool. LAIF is part <br />of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA). The PMIA began in 1955 and <br />oversight is provided by the Pooled Money Investment Board (PMIB) and a State <br />in-house Investment Committee. The PMIB members are the State Treasurer, <br />Director of Finance, and the State Controller. The LAIF determines the fair value of its <br />investment portfolio based on market quotations for those securities where market <br />quotations are readily available, and on amortized cost or best estimate for those securities <br />where fair value is not readily available. <br /> <br />At June 30, 2022, 67.77 percent of LAIF’s portfolio was invested in government guaranteed <br />U.S. Treasuries, and 1.88 percent of LAIF’s portfolio was invested in Structured Notes <br />and Asset-Backed Securities. These investments included the following: <br /> <br />Structured Notes are debt securities (other than asset-backed securities) whose cash <br />flow characteristics (coupon rate, redemption amount, or stated maturity) depend upon <br />one or more indices and/or that have embedded forwards or options. <br /> <br />Asset-Backed Securities, the bulk of which are mortgage-backed securities, entitle <br />their purchasers to receive a share of the cash flows from a pool of assets such as <br />principal and interest repayments from a pool of mortgages (such as CMS) or credit <br />card receivables. <br /> <br />The fair value of LAIF was calculated by applying a factor of 0.987125414 to total <br />investments held by LAIF. The fair value of the City’s position in the pool is substantially <br />equivalent to the value of the pool share. At June 30, 2022, these investments matured on <br />an average of 311 days. Separate financial statements for the PMIB may be obtained from <br />the California State Treasurer’s Office, 915 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, California 95814. <br /> <br />69
