COMPLIANCE ANALYSIS AND INVESTMENT REPORT
June 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) met on June 24. Interest rates were left unchanged. Although the pace of
economic contraction had slowed, consumer spending has been constrained by job losses, lower housing wealth, and tight
credit. Inflation is expected to be subdued for "some time". A Federal Reserve Bank president commented that the Federal
Funds Rate might have to be left at near zero for the next few years.
The key question is whether the U.S. economy is heading into deflation or inflation. A strong case can be made that the
immediate threat is a deflationary spiral (depression). While the Federal Reserve has flooded U.S. banks with enormous
amounts of liquidity, most of it has never reached private borrowers since the banks have retained it to repair their balance
sheets. It is also difficult to make a case for inflation when balancing the $14 trillion of credit destruction that has occurred
in the U.S. with the Obama Administration's $2 trillion stimulus. As for rising commodity prices, they can be deflationary if
the demand for the commodities (e.g., heating oil, gasoline, food, etc.) is relatively inelastic. Consumers will simply
reallocate their spending away from discretionary items, thereby triggering more small business failures.
Interest rates remain at historic lows, with the yield curve at the steepest that it has ever been. Five-year Treasuries were
recently yielding 2.5%; two-year Treasuries 1 %; and cash near zero. The long end of the curve is higher due to inflation
fears. Investors are concerned that U.S. Treasury debt issuance will fuel future inflation and the devaluation of the dollar.

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 June 30, 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.
Interactive Data Corporation provided the data that was 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
July 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) met on August 12, and left short-term interest rates unchanged. The FOMC
noted that while conditions in the financial markets had improved, ongoing job losses, slow income growth, lower housing
wealth, and tight credit continued to constrain the economy. Ben Bernanke was nominated for a second term as the
Federal Reserve Chairman.
Job cuts continued to outpace the fall in U.S. Gross Domestic Product. U.S. unemployment is currently estimated at 9.5%
(not counting those who have taken part-time work or have given up on job hunting). Rising joblessness will trigger
additional foreclosures, and shrink the pool of potential home buyers. Retail sales remain relatively weak. All of these
factors together may act as a drag on any economic recovery. The cash flow from the federal stimulus will also recede in
the second half of 2009.
Approximately 102 U.S. banks have failed in the last two years. On August 14, five banks failed on the same day. Three
hundred more banks remain on an undisclosed FDIC list of problem institutions. Small and mid -size U.S. banks are at
-greatest risk because of potential commercial real estate loan losses that could total up to $100 billion by the end of 2010.
The FDIC is stretched thin, and is considering a one-time fee on banks in order to replenish its deposit insurance fund.

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 July 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.
Interactive Data Corporation provided the data that was 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
August 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 September 23. The FOMC is not expected to raise
short-term interest rates until 2011. Bank of America is then predicting four rate hikes within a 12-month period. The FOMC
wants to avoid the possibility of prematurely killing any economic recovery, and causing a double -dip ("W") recession. The
most immediate threat, however, is deflation due to slack demand and global surplus capacity. In August, U.S.
unemployment rose from 9.5% to 9.7%. It may exceed 10% by year-end. The FDIC's list of troubled banks also rose
from 300 to 417 during August. This recession has been called the "Great Recession" because it has been the longest one
since World War II, and the slowest to reverse.
The real story in 2010 may be commercial real estate. Retail vacancy rates have increased, rents have declined, and
delinquency rates have risen. Consumer spending remains hobbled by a combination of sluggish income growth, rising
unemployment, and higher state and local taxes. If the 2009 holiday season is disappointing, then more retail bankruptcies
and store closings can be expected. Meanwhile, the U.S. banking system is weighed down with hundreds of billions of
dollars of unrecognized bad debt because it is still carrying "toxic" real estate loans on the books at full value. Changes in
accounting rules have helped the banks avoid write -downs on commercial real estate loans. All of this supports a climate of
economic stagnation similar to what Japan has experienced over the last two decades.

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 August 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.
Interactive Data Corporation provided the data that was 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.
