               Effect of Loss of Required Rating

               An investment that requires a minimum rating does not qualify as an
               authorized investment during the period the investment  does not have a
               minimum rating. The Investment Officer shall take all prudent measures that
               are consistent with the City’s investment policy to liquidate the investment(s)
               that does not have the minimum rating (2256.021). In accordance with
               Section (2256.005(b)), the Investment Officer shall monitor rating changes in
               current investments by keeping a monthly record of ratings issued by three
               nationally recognized rating agencies.


               Investment Strategy

               The investment strategy by type of fund is as follows:

               (1) Operating Funds

               The investment strategy for operating fund(s) is to assure that anticipated
               cash flows are matched with adequate investment liquidity.  A secondary
               objective is  to create a portfolio, which will experience minimum  volatility
               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.
               (3) Reserve Funds
