Tonight, I briefly share just six of them in the hopes that they might (or might not) help your strategic planning. We are all unique and that makes each of us special and beautiful. Webster Groves is unique, special and beautiful from other cities and municipalities and I hope this uniqueness is captured, clearly communicated, protected and celebrated in your final plan. There is no bound to your potential. At 69 years of age, I believe I have just scratched the surface of my potential. At 126 years of age, Webster Groves has only scratched the surface of its potential, in my opinion. Help us define it and reach for the stars! The Serenity Prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. What are the changes you can’t make in Webster Groves, or should never try to make, versus those that take courage and are worth fighting for, and the wisdom to know the difference? Do only a few fundamental things but do them extraordinarily well. It’s all about the power, need and value of focus. For example, when you get to setting specific goals for Webster Groves to be achieved, I wish you would limit them to only your top 3. Less is more. Fewer is better. Fun is fundamental. Fun & Play are timeless, universal and essential human needs we all have. Webster Groves does a terrific job of uniting our residents and raising them up above the controversies of the day via wonderful community events and the arts. My question is what is the next big idea to help keep the fun factor in our community alive and well? Carpe Diem! Seize the day! Gather ye rosebuds while ye may! The game is afoot and if I have a chief complaint in my 21 years in Webster Groves, it is that city government tends to move slower than faster. Thus, in my opinion, you can and need to be more aggressive and move faster on your top priorities and opportunities. Thank YOU!!!!  RESOLUTION 2022-66 ADOPTING AN INVESTMENT POLICY WHEREAS, the City of Webster Groves is reviewing its financial policies and desires to update its Investment Policy as previously adopted by Resolution 2010-17. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of Webster Groves, Missouri, that the attached Exhibit A, be adopted as the City’s Investment Policy and Resolution 2010-17 is hereby repealed. Passed and approved on this _______ day of ________, 2022. __________________________________________ Mayor ATTEST: ______________________________________ City Clerk  EXHIBIT A CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES INVESTMENT POLICY Adopted December XX, 2022 I. Scope This policy applies to the investment of all operating funds and the pension fund of the City of Webster Groves, with the exception of the City’s 457 deferred compensation funds and any other employee benefits funds held by the City or other entities, not explicitly stated here. 1. Pooling of Funds Except for cash in certain restricted and special funds, the City of Webster Groves will consolidate cash balances from all funds to maximize investment earnings. Investment income will be allocated to the various funds based on their respective participation and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. 2. External Management of Funds Investment through external programs, facilities and professionals operating in a manner consistent with this policy will constitute compliance. II. General Objectives The primary objectives, in priority order, of investment activities shall be safety, liquidity, and yield: 1. Safety Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk. a. Credit Risk The City of Webster Groves will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, by: • Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, broker/dealers, intermediaries, and advisors with which the City of Webster Groves will do business. • Diversifying the portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized. b. Interest Rate Risk The City of Webster Groves will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates, by: • Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity. • Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities. 2. Liquidity The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands (static liquidity). Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets (dynamic liquidity). A portion of the portfolio also may be placed in bank deposits or repurchase agreements that offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds. 3. Yield The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, considering the investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared Page 1 of 7  EXHIBIT A CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES INVESTMENT POLICY Adopted December XX, 2022 to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments is limited to relatively low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed. Securities shall not be sold prior to maturity with the following exceptions: • A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal. • A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio. • Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold. III. Standards of Care 1. Prudence All participants in the investment process shall act responsibly as custodians of the public trust. The standard of prudence to be applied by the personnel of the Investment Division is the “prudent investor” rule, which states, “Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived.” 2. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. Employees and investment officials shall disclose any material interests in financial institutions with which they conduct business. They shall further disclose any personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the investment portfolio. Employees and officers shall refrain from undertaking personal investment transactions with the same individual with which business is conducted on behalf of the City of Webster Groves. 3. Delegation of Authority Authority to manage the investment program is granted to the Director of Finance & Administration, hereinafter referred to as investment officer and derived from the charter powers as described in Article V of the Webster Groves City Charter. Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the investment officer, who shall act in accordance with the established written procedures and internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy. Procedures should include references to safekeeping, delivery vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements, and collateral/ depository agreements. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures established by the investment officer. The investment officer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall establish a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials. IV. Investment Transactions 1. Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions A list will be maintained of financial institutions authorized to provide investment transactions. In addition, a list will also be maintained of approved security broker/dealers selected by creditworthiness as determined and approved by the investment officer. These may include “primary” dealers or regional dealers that qualify under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 15C3-1 (uniform net capital rule). Page 2 of 7  EXHIBIT A CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES INVESTMENT POLICY Adopted December XX, 2022 All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to become qualified for investment transactions must supply the following as appropriate: • Audited financial statements. • Proof of National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) certification. • Proof of state registration. • Completed broker/dealer questionnaire. • Certification of having read and understood and agreeing to comply with the City of Webster Groves’ investment policy. An annual review of the financial condition and registration of qualified financial institutions and broker/dealers will be conducted by the investment officer. 2. Internal Controls The investment officer/internal auditor/director of accounting is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure that will be reviewed annually with the City of Webster Groves’ independent auditor. The internal control structure shall be designed to ensure that the assets of the City of Webster Groves are protected from loss, theft, or misuse and to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits require estimates and judgments by management. The internal controls shall address the following points: • Control of collusion. • Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping. • Custodial safekeeping. • Avoidance of physical delivery securities. • Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members. • Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers. • Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian. 3. Delivery vs. Payment All trades where applicable will be executed by delivery vs. payment (DVP) to ensure that securities are deposited in eligible financial institutions prior to the release of funds. All securities shall be perfected in the name or for the account of the City of Webster Groves and shall be held by a third-party custodian as evidenced by safekeeping receipts. V. Suitable and Authorized Investments 1. Investment Types In accordance with and subject to restrictions imposed by current statutes, the following list represents the entire range of investments that City of Webster Groves will consider and which shall be authorized for the investments of funds by the City of Webster Groves. a. Governmental and Agency Debt Those securities issued by and or guaranteed by the Federal Government or an Agency or Instrumentality of the Federal Government: • United States Treasury Securities. The City of Webster Groves may invest in obligations of the United States government for which the full faith and credit of the Page 3 of 7  EXHIBIT A CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES INVESTMENT POLICY Adopted December XX, 2022 United States are pledged for the payment of principal and interest. • United States Agency Securities. The City of Webster Groves may invest in obligations issued or guaranteed by any agency of the United States Government as described in V. (2). b. Fixed Income investments secured by FDIC insurance and/or Collateral: • Repurchase Agreements. The City of Webster Groves may invest in contractual agreements between the City of Webster Groves and commercial banks or primary government securities dealers. The purchaser in a repurchase agreement (repo) enters into a contractual agreement to purchase U.S. Treasury and government agency securities while simultaneously agreeing to resell the securities at predetermined dates and prices. • Collateralized Public Deposits (Certificates of Deposit). Instruments issued by financial institutions which state that specified sums have been deposited for specified periods of time and at specified rates of interest. The certificates of deposit are required to be backed by acceptable collateral securities as dictated by State statute. c. Other Fixed Income Debt issued by Commercial Enterprises It should be noted that investments in the following instruments require an additional level of care and prudence when undertaken by the investment officer. Because these investments are in commercial credits as opposed to governmental credit, or subject to the added safety of collateral, the risk of loss of principal is significantly higher for the following investments than in the four prior categories. Added financial training and education is recommended for the Investment Officer wishing to participate in and/or manage a commercial paper program. Outside professional management of your commercial paper program is highly recommended. • Bankers Acceptances. The City of Webster Groves may invest in bills of exchange or time drafts on and accepted by a commercial bank, otherwise known as bankers’ acceptances. An issuing bank must have received the highest letter and numeral ranking (i.e., A1 / P1) by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSRO’s). Bankers Acceptances must be issued by domestic commercial banks. • Commercial Paper. The City of Webster Groves may invest in commercial paper which has received the highest letter and numeral ranking (i.e., A1 / P1) by at least two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSRO’s). Eligible paper is further limited to issuing corporations that have a total commercial paper program size in excess of $250,000,000 and have long term debt ratings, if any, of “A” or better from at least one NRSRO. Approved commercial paper programs should provide some diversification by industry. Additionally, purchases of commercial paper in industry sectors that may from time to time be subject to undue risk and potential illiquidity should be avoided. The only asset- backed commercial paper programs that are eligible for purchase are fully supported programs that provide adequate diversification by asset type (trade receivables, credit card receivables, auto loans, etc.) No securities arbitrage programs or commercial paper issued by Structured Investment Vehicles (SIV’s) shall be considered. Commercial paper issuers must be subject to weekly credit review and daily news research and analysis and a monitoring program must be established to promulgate best practices credit monitoring. 2. Security Selection The following list represents the entire range of United States Agency Securities that the City of Webster Groves will consider and which shall be authorized for the investment of funds by the City of Webster Groves. Additionally, the following definitions and guidelines should be Page 4 of 7  EXHIBIT A CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES INVESTMENT POLICY Adopted December XX, 2022 used in purchasing the instruments: • U.S. Govt. Agency Coupon and Zero-Coupon Securities. Bullet coupon bonds with no embedded options. • U.S. Govt. Agency Discount Notes. Purchased at a discount with maximum maturities of one (1) year. • U.S. Govt. Agency Callable Securities. Restricted to securities callable at par only with final maturities of five (5) years. • U.S. Govt. Agency Step-Up Securities. The coupon rate is fixed for an initial term. At coupon date, the coupon rate rises to a new, higher fixed term. Restricted to securities with final maturities of five (5) years. 3. Investment Restrictions and Prohibited Transactions To provide for the safety and liquidity of the City of Webster Groves’ funds, the investment portfolio will be subject to the following restrictions: • Borrowing for investment purposes (“Leverage”) is prohibited. • Instruments known as variable rate demand notes, floaters, inverse floaters, leveraged floaters, and equity- linked securities are not permitted. Investment in any instrument, which is commonly considered a “derivative” instrument (e.g. options, futures, swaps, caps, floors, and collars), is prohibited. • Contracting to sell securities not yet acquired in order to purchase other securities for purposes of speculating on developments or trends in the market is prohibited. 4. Collateralization Collateralization will be required on two types of investments: certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements. The market value (including accrued interest) of the collateral should be at least 100%. For certificates of deposit, the market value of collateral must be at least 100% or greater of the amount of certificates of deposits plus demand deposits with the depository, less the amount, if any, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. All securities, which serve as collateral against the deposits of a depository institution, must be safekept at a non-affiliated custodial facility. Depository institutions pledging collateral against deposits must, in conjunction with the custodial agent, furnish the necessary custodial receipts within five business days from the settlement date. The City of Webster Groves shall have a depositary contract and pledge agreement with each safekeeping bank that will comply with the Financial Institutions, Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). This will ensure that the City of Webster Groves’ security interest in collateral pledged to secure deposits is enforceable against the receiver of a failed financial institution. 5. Repurchase Agreements These securities for which repurchase agreement will be transacted will be limited to U.S. Treasury and government agency securities that are eligible to be delivered via the Federal Reserve Fedwire book entry system. Securities will be delivered to the City of Webster Groves’ designated Custodial Agent. Funds and securities will be transferred on a delivery vs. payment basis. VI. Investment Parameters Page 5 of 7  EXHIBIT A CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES INVESTMENT POLICY Adopted December XX, 2022 1. Diversification The investments shall be diversified to minimize the risk of loss resulting from over concentration of assets in specific maturity, specific issuer, or specific class of securities. Diversification strategies shall be established and periodically reviewed. At a minimum, diversification standards by security type and issuer shall be: • U.S. treasuries and securities having principal and/or interest guaranteed by the U.S. government: 100% • Collateralized time and demand deposits: 100% • U.S. Government agencies, and government sponsored enterprises: No more than 60% • Collateralized repurchase agreements: 50% • U.S. Government agency callable securities: No more than 30% 2. Maximum Maturities To the extent possible, the City of Webster Groves shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Investments in repurchase agreements shall mature and become payable not more than ninety days (90) from the date of purchase. All other investments shall mature and become payable not more than two (2) years from the date of purchase. Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as in bank deposits or overnight repurchase agreements to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations. VII. Reporting 1. Period The City of Webster Groves shall consider its fiscal year the reporting period for its investment portfolio. 2. Methods The investment officer shall prepare an investment report quarterly, including a management summary that provides an analysis of the status of the current investment portfolio and transactions made over the last quarter. This management summary will be prepared in a manner that will allow the City of Webster Groves to ascertain whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the investment policy. The report should be provided to the City Council of the City of Webster Groves and the City Administration. The quarterly report will include the following: • Listing of individual securities held at the end of the reporting period. • Average weighted yield to maturity of portfolio on investments as compared to applicable benchmarks. • Listing of investment by maturity date. • Percentage of the total portfolio which each type of investment represents. Once annually, the investment officer shall include in the report to the City Council and City Administration, the following: • Realized and unrealized gains or losses resulting from appreciation or depreciation by listing the cost and market value of securities over one-year duration in accordance with GASB 31 requirements. 3. Performance Standards Page 6 of 7  EXHIBIT A CITY OF WEBSTER GROVES INVESTMENT POLICY Adopted December XX, 2022 The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this policy. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest rates. A series of appropriate benchmarks may be established against which portfolio performance shall be compared on a regular basis. 4. Marking to Market The market value of the portfolio shall be calculated at least quarterly and a statement of the market value of the portfolio shall be issued at least annually to the City Council of the City of Webster Groves. This will ensure that review of the investment portfolio, in terms of value and price volatility, has been performed. VIII. Policy Considerations 1. Exemption Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempt from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested only as provided by this policy. 2. Adoption & Review This policy shall be adopted by resolution of the City Council of the City of Webster Groves’. The policy shall be reviewed biennially by the City Council with any recommended changes provided for the Council’s consideration. IX.
