Existing law generally authorizes local agencies to invest or reinvest public funds and prescribes rules for that investing or reinvesting. Existing law authorizes a legislative body of a local agency to delegate this authority for a one-year period to the treasurer of the local agency, as specified, and after a delegation, requires the treasurer to make a monthly report of those transactions to the legislative body. Existing law authorizes a county board of supervisors, by ordinance, to delegate this authority to the county treasurer, as specified, and, after a delegation, requires the treasurer to assume this responsibility until the board to either revokes this delegation by ordinance or decides not to renew the one-year period described above.

This bill would remove the requirement that a delegation by a county board of supervisors be made by ordinance. The bill would remove the one-year limitation on those delegations, and would remove the requirement that revocation of those delegations be made by ordinance. The bill would require the county board of supervisors to set monthly or quarterly reporting requirements after delegation, as specified.
