INVESTMENT & FINANCE COMMITTEE
MINUTES NOVEMBER 27, 2012
V. NEW BUSINESS
A. CITY INVESTMENT SCHEDULE AND SUMMARY OF CASH REPORT FOR
OCTOBER 2012
Member Jeffrey presented the report and highlighted the following points:
The book value of the City portfolio for the period ended October 31, 2012 was
approximately $198.9 million. Yield -to -maturity was approximately 0.39%. The
printed report contained an error in the yield to maturity, and it was verbally
corrected at the meeting.
MOTION was made by Member Spiegel and seconded by Member Campbell
to recommend that the City Council receive and file the City Investment
Schedule and Summary of Cash Report for October 2012 as amended.
Motion unanimously approved.
B. LOCAL AGENCY INVESTMENT POOL ACCOUNT STATEMENTS FOR
OCTOBER 2012
MOTION was made by Member Kroonen and seconded by Member Erwin to
receive and file the reports for Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF),
California Asset Management Program (CAMP), Riverside County
Investment Pool, and Rabobank Investment Pool for October 2012. Motion
unanimously approved.
C. CITY FINANCIAL REPORT FOR OCTOBER 2012
Mr. Gibson provided an overview of the report. He pointed out that while the TOT
revenue is higher than budgeted, it is actually a timing issue as one operator
submits on a 13-period cycle of 28 days rather than the standard monthly
submittal. Expenses are also skewed since the Sheriff's billings have been
delayed. Two months' payments were made this week, so a more accurate picture
should be reflected next month.
MOTION was made by Member Campbell and seconded by Member Erwin to
receive and file the City financial report for September 2012 as presented.
Motion unanimously approved.
D. PARKVIEW PROFESSIONAL OFFICE BUILDINGS FINANCIAL REPORT FOR
OCTOBER 2012
Mr. Hernandez provided an overview of the report. Revenues are less than
budget by approximately $3,000 and this is expected to change in the coming
months as the vacancy rate decreases from 17% to 12%. Expenditures are
$115,000 versus a budget of $123,000, and net income is $5,000 better than
budget.
MOTION was made by Member Weber and seconded by Member Campbell
to receive and file the Parkview Professional Office Buildings financial
report for September 2012 as presented. Motion unanimously approved.

INVESTMENT & FINANCE COMMITTEE
MINUTES NOVEMBER 27, 2012
E. PALM DESERT GOLF COURSE FACILITIES CORPORATION FINANCIAL
REPORTS FOR OCTOBER 2012
Mr. Columbo provided an overview of the reports in the agenda packet. Revenues
were $480,000 versus a budget of $492,000, and operating expenses were
$273,000 versus a budget of $300,000. Year-to-date is better than budget by
$47,000.
Banquet business is good, and golf rates are competitive, so the course is holding
its own. Relative to the rounds mix, wholesale business is up, other segments are
down, and the ADR is flat. November is expected to be another tough month.
MOTION was made by Member Spiegel and seconded by Member Erwin to
receive and file the Palm Desert Golf Course Facilities Corporation financial
reports for September 2012 as presented. Motion unanimously approved.
