STATEMENT OF ISSUE 
The State Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) has indicated that the City, the Fairfield Public Financing Authority (Authority) and the Successor Agency must update their records with LAIF and submit a current official record of the staff members that are authorized to deposit and withdraw funds for the City, the Authority and the Successor Agency. City Council is being asked to not only approve the list of staff members, but reaffirm the City’s authority to invest funds in LAIF.

The Local Agency Investment Fund is established in the State Treasury for the deposit of money of a local agency for purposes of investment by the State Treasurer. The City has invested funds in LAIF since 1977 and staff continues to recommend LAIF for the purpose of investment. LAIF is a safe and secure investment vehicle that is used by 475 cities throughout the State. Currently, LAIF manages assets of approximately $32.3 billion.
