current investments by keeping a monthly record of ratings issued by three
nationally recognized rating agencies.

during economic cycles. These funds shall not have an investment with a
stated maturity greater than two years and the weighted average maturity
shall not exceed eighteen months.
(2) Debt Service Funds
The investment strategy for debt service fund(s) is the assurance of
investment liquidity to cover the debt service obligations on the required
payment date. Investments purchased shall not have a stated final maturity
date which exceeds the corresponding debt service payment date. The
weighted average maturity shall not exceed one year.
