3.5 EarningonInvestments: Earning on investments depends on interest rates dictated by the larger economy and is largely not under the control of the City. Recently available rates have been less than .5% annually, although, with inflation heating up, they are likely to increase in the future, though they will probably remain low for the sorts of investments the City is required by law to select. The City investment policy’s first objective is the preservation of capital, safety of principal and security of investments of the City’s funds. The portfolio is designed and managed for effective cash management and to be consistent with state and local law. Projected revenue from investment earnings will be set at 0.50% growth for the next 5-years.
