establishing a policy for the investment of public funds for the City of Lancaster.
Investing funds is a crucial component of a sound financial and cash management program. A
formal investment policy is necessary to identify investment objectives, define risk tolerance,
assign responsibility, and establish control over the investment process. The Investment
Policy of the City of Lancaster (the City), in conformance with State laws, is intended to
provide guidelines to the City Treasurer for the prudent investment of the City's temporary
idle cash not governed by bond indentures or bond resolutions, and to outline policies for
maximizing the efficiency of the City's cash management system.
