body

BACKGROUND:

State law allows this Board of Supervisors to delegate to the County Treasurer investment authority to invest and reinvest County funds and the funds of other depositors in the County Treasury and provides that this delegation be carried out by ordinance and subject to annual renewal by this Board. On June 7, 2011, this Board adopted San Mateo County Ordinance Code Section 2.91.040 which delegated investment authority to the Treasurer for the 2011 calendar year and provided for the annual renewal of such delegation in subsequent years by resolution.

 

DISCUSSION:

California Government Code Section 27000.1 provides that this Board may delegate to the Treasurer the authority “to invest or to reinvest the funds of the county and the funds of other depositors in the county treasury.” Section 53607 limits the delegation of investment authority to a one-year period but allows this Board to renew the delegation of investment authority each year. The proposed resolution would delegate investment authority to the Treasurer for the entirety of 2024.

 

County Counsel has reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form.
