BACKGROUND
It is the intent of the County that public funds will be invested to the extent possible to reduce the need for property tax revenues. Funds will be invested with the chief objectives of safety of principal, liquidity, and yield, in that order. All deposits and investments of County funds will be in accordance with N.C.G.S. 159-30. N.C.G.S. 159-30 (c)(10) allows for local governments to invest in a commingled investment pool established by interlocal agreement by two or more units of local government pursuant to G.S. 160A-460 through G.S. 160A-464, if the investments of the pool are limited to those qualifying for investment under this subsection (c). This resolution will allow the County the opportunity to participate in the investment pool and diversify the investment portfolio.
