COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS AND INVESTMENT REPORT
February 2009
Paul S. Gibson, C.C.M.T., Treasurer
Thomas W. Jeffrey, J.D., M.B.A., Deputy City Treasurer
Treasurer's Commentary
The next Federal Open Market Committee meeting is scheduled for April 28-29. No action is expected.
The U.S. economy plunged by 6.2% during 4Q2008 -- its worst performance since 1982. NYU Business Professor Nouriel
Roubini, who predicted the current financial crisis, has put the chance of a severe U-shaped recession at 67%, and a more
severe L-shaped recession at 33%. Roubini contends that most U.S. financial institutions are insolvent.
A growing number of authorities, including Alan Greenspan, James Baker, and Paul Krugman, believe that the Obama
Administration should formally nationalize large troubled banks. They argue that bank debt guarantees, TARP funding, and
credit wraps constitute "soft nationalization". The Geithner Plan of a public -private buyout of toxic assets is not seen as
being viable. Treasury Secretary Geithner has been slow to respond to the financial crisis because 19 of the 20 top
positions in the U.S. Treasury are still open. In other words, Geithner has no staff.
The U.S. Treasury agreed to exchange up to $25 billion of TARP money that it had provided to Citigroup for as much as a
36% equity stake in the bank. This was Citigroup's third bailout in five months, and was done to improve its capital ratios.
The move has been characterized as "a nationalization to avoid a nationalization". Citigroup bond prices fell sharply
afterwards.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The investment portfolios of the City of Palm Desert ("City") and the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency ("RDA") are
governed by federal, state, and local law. The City Treasurer's "Statement of Investment Policy" is more restrictive than the
California Government Code. The Palm Desert Audit, Investment, and Finance Committee and the Palm Desert City
Council review the Statement of Investment Policy annually.
For the month ended February 28, 2009, the City and the RDA investment portfolios were in compliance with all applicable
federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The City Treasury continued to pursue conservative and prudent investment
strategies, based upon the stated objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield (in order of priority).
Barring unforeseen events, the City Treasury should have sufficient cash to finance the operations of the City of Palm Desert
and the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency over the next six months. In addition, portions of either the City or the RDA
portfolio could be liquidated in order to meet any significant, unexpected cash requirements.
Bloomberg L.P. and Interactive Data Corporation provided the data and the analytical tools that were used to calculate the
market value of all securities in the City and the RDA investment portfolios. State and Local Government Series securities
are held in escrow accounts, and are therefore not included in this report as assets. All balances are bank balances.

COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS AND INVESTMENT REPORT
March 2009
Paul S. Gibson, C.C.M.T., Treasurer
Thomas W. Jeffrey, J.D., M.B.A., Deputy City Treasurer
Treasurer's Commentary
The Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC ") will meet next on April 28-29. No action is expected. The FOMC is
focused on stabilizing the housing market, and avoiding a prolonged period of deflation that would be difficult to break. To
that end, the FOMC has committed to buy $300 billion of long-term U.S. Treasuries in an effort to lower long-term interest
rates, and stimulate a home refinancing wave.
Nobel Prizing -winning economist Paul Krugman has noted that despite the Obama Administration's recent show of
optimism, things are still getting worse. Industrial production has hit a 10-year low; housing starts are extremely weak;
foreclosures are surging again; commercial real estate continues to deteriorate; and credit card losses continue to mount.
The most that can be said is that there are scattered signs that things are getting worse more slowly. Krugman expects
unemployment to keep rising through 2010. In "V-shaped" economic recoveries, employment comes roaring back due to
pent-up demand. Krugman believes that a "V-shaped" recovery is unlikely due to the amount of debt that has built up.
In the corporate sector, it appears increasingly likely that General Motors and Chrysler will be compelled to file bankruptcy,
due to insufficient concessions from the UAW and the bondholders. General Electric and Berkshire Hathaway recently had
;heir credit ratings downgraded from "AAA" to "AA". The largest U.S. commercial banks appear headed for "A" credit
ratings.

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The investment portfolios of the City of Palm Desert ("City") and the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency ("RDA") are
governed by federal, state, and local law. The City Treasurer's "Statement of Investment Policy" is more restrictive than the
California Government Code. The Palm Desert Audit, Investment, and Finance Committee and the Palm Desert City
Council review the Statement of Investment Policy annually.
For the month ended March 31, 2009, the City and the RDA investment portfolios were in compliance with all applicable
federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The City Treasury continued to pursue conservative and prudent investment
strategies, based upon the stated objectives of safety, liquidity, and yield (in order of priority).
Barring unforeseen events, the City Treasury should have sufficient cash to finance the operations of the City of Palm Desert
and the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency over the next six months. In addition, portions of either the City or the RDA
portfolio could be liquidated in order to meet any significant, unexpected cash requirements.
Bloomberg L.P. and Interactive Data Corporation provided the data and the analytical tools that were used to calculate the
market value of all securities in the City and the RDA investment portfolios. State and Local Government Series securities
are held in escrow accounts, and are therefore not included in this report as assets. All balances are bank balances.
