CEQA Status – Not a Project. City Council Staff Report From: City Manager Report Type: INFORMATION REPORTS Lead Department: Administrative Services Meeting Date: May 18, 2026 Report #:2512-5678 TITLE Investment Activity Report for the Third Quarter (January – March), Fiscal Year 2026. CEQA Status – Not a Project. RECOMMENDATION This is an informational report and no City Council action is required. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is presented in accordance with California Government Code Section 53646 and the City’s Investment Policy. As of March 31, 2026, the consolidated cash and investment holdings totaled $671.4 million (market value), including $526.4 million in investments and $145.0 million in liquid accounts. The investment portfolio was in full compliance with the City’s Investment Policy, and staff projects adequate liquidity to meet expenditure requirements for the next six months. Attachments and links in this report provide detailed cash and investment information, including portfolio holdings, performance metrics, and related financial summaries. BACKGROUND The City’s Investment Policy is reviewed and approved annually by Council and establishes the framework for managing public funds in accordance with the Prudent Investor Standard under state law. The policy outlines authorized investment types, maturity and credit quality limits, diversification requirements, and reporting standards to ensure the objectives of safety, liquidity, and return. The policy also requires the Administrative Services Department to provide the City Council with monthly and quarterly investment reports, consistent with California Government Code 53646. Monthly reports provide details on investment activity during the period, such as purchases, calls, redemptions, and maturities. This quarterly report summarizes the City’s investment holdings, portfolio performance, and compliance with the City’s Investment Policy and California Government Code. ANALYSIS Graph 1 below illustrates the City’s portfolio by security type, reflecting how funds are allocated across permitted investment categories. Table 1 summarizes the portfolio’s maturity structure, which supports the City’s liquidity objectives and duration strategy. Investment Performance and Activity For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the City’s portfolio average market yield was 4.06% compared to 3.84% for the ICE BofA 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury & Agency Index benchmark. The portfolio's total return for the quarter was 0.46%, exceeding the benchmark return of 0.20%. During the quarter, approximately $72.5 million in securities were purchased, $5.5 million were called or redeemed, $58.8 million matured, and $1.9 million were sold. Table 2 summarizes key portfolio characteristics including maturity, duration, yield, and credit quality. As of March 31, the yield for LAIF and the two-year US Treasury were 3.82% and 3.79%, respectively. While these are not direct performance benchmarks, they provide useful context for evaluating the portfolio’s positioning relative to short-term liquidity returns and broader market conditions.

All marketable securities are held by a third-party custodian, and valuations are independently verified. Economic Outlook Inflation remained elevated in early 2026, with recent increases largely driven by higher energy prices. While underlying inflation has shown some signs of stabilizing, overall price levels remain above the Federal Reserve’s target. The Iran conflict contributed to this trend by disrupting global oil supply, leading to higher fuel costs and adding pressure to inflation. Cash Flow Outlook Cash flow needs fluctuate over the course of the fiscal year as a result of cyclical revenue patterns, with larger inflows from major revenue sources such as property tax receipts occurring in the second half of the year. One-time activities, such as the annual prepayment of pension obligations and large capital expenditures, also influence these patterns. The City‘s investment strategy aligns with these cycles by timing maturities and maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet ongoing needs as they occur. Funds Held by Fiscal Agents and Trustees The City holds bond proceeds, reserves, and debt service funds with fiscal agents, which are invested in accordance with the respective bond indentures. The City also maintains a Section 115 Pension Trust with Public Agency Retirement Services (PARS) and Retiree Medical Funds (Other Post-Employment Benefits Trust or OPEB), governed by the City’s Retiree Benefit Funding Policy.

ATTACHMENT B TABLE OF CONTENTS ECONOMIC UPDATE ACCOUNT PROFILE CONSOLIDATED INFORMATION 1 ATTACHMENT B ECONOMIC UPDATE 2 ATTACHMENT B    March payrolls rebounded by 178,000 after February’s revised 133,000 decline, but the war in Iran and its disruption of the Strait of Hormuz have pushed crude oil above $112,injecting a potential inflationary shock into an economy contending with sticky core prices above 3%. The Federal Reserve has held the funds rate at 3.50–3.75%and is signaling a cautionary stance, keeping open the option of delaying cuts if oil ‑ related inflation proves persistent rather than transitory.As the data flow normalizes,the Chandler team anticipates additional yield curve steepening as the Federal Reserve gradually guides the policy rate toward a more neutral range.The Federal Reserve’s March dot plot still projects one cut this year, yet the Iran-driven energy shock has narrowed the path toward easing. The Federal Reserve’s March 2026 FOMC meeting ended with policymakers again holding the target range at 3.50%–3.75%,as the Committee maintained its pause following three late 2025 rate cuts.Governor Stephen Miran dissented in favor of an additional quarter ‑ point reduction,while Christopher Waller joined the majority,tipping the vote 11–1 to leave the benchmark rate unchanged. Meanwhile,President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as chair has hit a roadblock after a Republican senator vowed to block Warsh’s confirmation amid the Justice Department’s ongoing probe of the central bank. Treasury yields exhibited considerable first-quarter volatility as the Iran conflict injected energy-driven inflation fears into a market grappling with sticky core prices.At March month-end, the 2-year yield stood at 3.79%,up 32 basis points year-to-date,the 10-year at 4.32%,and the 30-year at 4.86%.The 2-year to 10-year spread narrowed to 52 basis points,reflecting pronounced flattening as short rates rose faster than longer maturities.One year ago,that spread stood near 32 basis points, providing context on normalization since the 2022 through 2024 yield curve inversion. The 3-month to 10-year spread was approximately 64 basis points at March month-end.

The unemployment rate edged lower to 4.3%,though partly from a labor force reduction rather than a hiring acceleration. Meanwhile,the underemployment rate edged up to 8.0%from 7.9%in February. Average hourly earnings rose 0.2%over the month and 3.5%year over year—the slowest annual pace since May 2021.

Quits were little changed at 3 million.The data reflects a labor market consistent with the Federal Reserve’s characterization of a no-hire, no-fire environment.

Production accelerated to 55.1 from 53.5, though new orders decelerated to 53.5 from 55.8. The prices subindex leaped to 78.3 from 70.5,reflecting elevated energy costs,metals tariffs,and Iran-related supply disruptions. Employment remained in contraction at 48.7.The Services Index eased to 54.0 in March from 56.1 in February but still posted its 21st consecutive month of expansion. The expansion was mainly from an increase in prices,amid higher oil and fuel costs.With both measures above the 50 threshold, ISM data point toward a resilient if cost-pressured economy.

However,policymakers have grown wary of potential inflationary pressures stemming from tariffs,the war in Iran,and the ensuing spike in commodity prices.The Federal Reserve now projects just one rate cut in 2026,even as inflation expectations rise. The Committee also reaffirmed its December decision to halt balance sheet runoff and to reinvest principal and interest payments from its securities holdings,signaling a continued emphasis on maintaining ample reserves and supporting orderly market functioning.

In the event IDS does not provide a price or if the price provided is not reflective of fair market value, Chandler will obtain pricing from an alternative approved third party pricing source in accordance with our written valuation policy and procedures. Our valuation procedures are also disclosed in Item 5 of our Form ADV Part 2A. Performance results are presented gross-of-advisory fees and represent the client’s Total Return. The deduction of advisory fees lowers performance results. These results include the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Past performance may not be indicative of future results. Therefore, clients should not assume that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy will be profitable or equal to past performance levels. All investment strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Economic factors, market conditions or changes in investment strategies, contributions or withdrawals may materially alter the performance and results of your portfolio. Index returns assume reinvestment of all distributions. Historical performance results for investment indexes generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges or the deduction of an investment management fee, the incurrence of which would have the effect of decreasing historical performance results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Source ICE Data Indices, LLC (“ICE”), used with permission.

This report is not intended to constitute an offer, solicitation, recommendation or advice regarding any securities or investment strategy and should not be regarded by recipients as a substitute for the exercise of their own judgment. Fixed income investments are subject to interest, credit and market risk. Interest rate risk: the value of fixed income investments will decline as interest rates rise. Credit risk: the possibility that the borrower may not be able to repay interest and principal. Low rated bonds generally have to pay higher interest rates to attract investors willing to take on greater risk. Market risk: the bond market in general could decline due to economic conditions, especially during periods of rising interest rates. Ratings information have been provided by Moody’s, S&P and Fitch through data feeds we believe to be reliable as of the date of this statement, however we cannot guarantee its accuracy. Security level ratings for U.S. Agency issued mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) reflect the issuer rating because the securities themselves are not rated. The issuing U.S. Agency guarantees the full and timely payment of both principal and interest. LGIP Yields: Reported yields for local government investment pools may be presented as either the 30-day yield or the monthly distribution yield, as applicable. For certain funds, the 30-day yield is calculated using reported daily yield data. Yield calculations are subject to change and may not be directly comparable across funds. LAIF Yields: Additional Disclosure for CA Clients - As a result of a reporting lag from the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), reported LAIF yields represent the most recently available Daily Effective Yield and may reflect data from approximately 7–10 days prior to month-end. 37 ATTACHMENT B BENCHMARK DISCLOSURES Benchmark Disclosure ICE BofA 1-5 Year Unsubordinated US Treasury &Agency Index The ICE BofA 1-5 Year Unsubordinated US Treasury & Agency Index tracks the performance of US dollar denominated US Treasury and nonsubordinated US agency debt issued in the US domestic market.
