  • 20% Wholesale Price Increase
  • 20% Wholesale Price Decrease
  • No Retail Load Increase Post-2019
  • No Retail Load Increase Post-2019 and -20% Wholesale Price Decrease
  • Zero Rate Increases
  • Fiber buildout completed by 2023
  • Scenarios and Debt Service Coverage (Appendix E)
  • Debt Service Coverage (DSC) is adversely affected in all scenarios through 2024 except

higher wholesale energy prices.

  • No Load growth scenario when combined with low wholesale energy prices creates the

largest negative impact to DSC, indicating that growing profitable loads is a key controllable business driver.

  • Scenarios and Excess Liquidity (Appendix F)
  • Excess liquidity dropping below $0 in any year would require the District to raise rates,

cut expenses and/or borrow more to avoid consuming working capital and reserves.

  • Minimum cash accumulation scenario adds $111 million from 2019 through 2024.
  • The highest threat to excess liquidity is No Load Growth when combined with low

wholesale energy prices. Conclusions and Path Forward:

  • Growing profitable loads is a key controllable business success driver.
  • Lower wholesale prices are a threat in the 2019-2024 period, particularly when combined with

no or low load growth.

  • Accumulating excess cash instead of utilitizing a debt reduction strategy, results in lower

earnings, lower DSC, and inhibits meeting the Return on Assets metric. Recommendation:

  • For your information.

Policy Statement

It is the policy of the Public Utility District No. 2 of Grant County (the District, herein) to invest public funds in a manner which will provide the highest investment return after ensuring safety thresholds are satisfied while meeting the daily cash flow demands of the District. The priority of investment criteria for the District is legality first, followed by safety, then liquidity and lastly investment return. The investment guidelines and practices of the District must conform to all applicable Federal and State

  • f Washington laws and regulations, bond covenants, bond insurance policies, and prudent money

management philosophy. The overall program shall be designed and managed with a degree of professionalism that is worthy of public trust.

Scope

These investment guidelines apply to all financial assets of the District except: The policy for the Washington State Public Employees' Retirement System will be as determined by the appropriate Board of Administration and is not covered by this guideline statement. District employees' deferred compensation assets will be invested as directed by the individual employee within the allowable options defined by the administrator and programs as approved by the District. Monies set aside for advance and current refundings of District bond obligations will be invested in accordance with the appropriate bond documents and Federal and State law and not necessarily in compliance with this guideline statement. Financial instruments used to hedge commodity risk covered under the Energy Risk Management Policy. If applicable, investments of the District shall be in compliance with bond resolutions and other debt constraints, Federal and State of Washington law, and related legal interpretations. Should such requirements be more restrictive than this policy, the financial assets will be invested in accordance with the more restrictive regulations. Monies subject to the 1986 Tax Reform Act, and subsequent arbitration regulations, shall be invested in compliance with the appropriate regulations.

Delegation of Authority

Authority to manage the District's investment program is derived from the Revised Code of the State

  • f Washington, as well as various District resolutions. The Treasurer of the District has direct

management responsibility for implementing the investment program. The investment program shall

slide-74
SLIDE 74

2 | P a g e

be developed, strategized and monitored by an Investment Oversight Committee comprised of District staff as designated by the Chief Finance Officer. The Investment Oversight Committee shall oversee the establishment of procedures for the operation of the investment program consistent with this investment policy and portfolio strategy. Procedures will include specific investment tasks and explicit delegation of authority to persons responsible for activities necessary to carry out the investment program. No person shall engage in an investment transaction except for those staff as approved by the Treasurer and in accordance to the terms of this policy and the procedures as established by the Investment Oversight Committee. The Treasurer shall be responsible for all transactions undertaken and shall implement a system of controls to regulate the activities of subordinate officials and District employees.

Prudence

Investments shall be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which a person of prudence, discretion and intelligence would exercise in the management of their own affairs. Securities shall not be purchased or sold for speculation (i.e. market timing), but for investment, considering the probable safety of capital as well as the probable income to be derived. Purchases and sales in accordance with the Policy Statement priorities of legality first, followed by safety, then liquidity and lastly investment return. The standard of prudence to be used by investment decision makers shall be the "prudent person" standard and be applied in the context of managing an overall portfolio. Investment decision makers acting in accordance with written procedures and the investment policy and exercising due diligence, in so far as allowed by State Law, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual security's credit risk or market price changes, provided deviations from expectations are reported in a timely fashion and appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. All participants in the investment program shall seek to act responsibly as custodians of the public

  • trust. The investment portfolio is subject to public scrutiny and evaluation. The investment program

shall be designed and administered with a degree of professionalism worthy of the public trust. Investment decision makers shall refrain from knowingly entering into transactions which might impair public confidence in the District.

Ethics and Conflicts of Interest

Officers and employees involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with the proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Annually, such employees and investment decision makers shall disclose to the Treasurer any material financial interest in financial institutions that conduct business within the county, and they shall further disclose any large personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the District's portfolio. Investment decision makers and employees will at all times comply with the District's Code of Ethics as it pertains to the investment process.

Objectives

The primary objectives, in order of priority, of the District investment activities are:

Legality The District's investments will be in accordance with all statutes governing the investment

  • f public funds as well as applicable provisions of bond resolutions.

Safety Investments of the District shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the

preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. To attain this objective, diversification is an important

  • cornerstone. The District seeks to optimize protection afforded by the FDIC and Public Deposit

Protection Commission on its demand depository accounts.

Liquidity The District's portfolio will remain sufficiently liquid to enable the District to meet all

  • perating requirements which might be reasonably anticipated. Investment maturities shall be

matched to anticipated cash flow requirements whenever possible.

Return on Investment The District's investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of

attaining a market rate of return throughout the budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the District's investment risk constraints, arbitrage limitations and the cash flow characteristics of the portfolio.

Authorized Financial Dealers and Institutions

The Treasurer will maintain a list of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services to the District. The list will include broker/dealers to provide investment services in the State of Washington and to the District. The selection process for inclusion in this list is determined by the Investment Oversight Committee in separate written procedures, but includes such items as proof of Washington registration and acceptable financial condition.

Dealers providing investments services to the District are expected to make reasonable efforts to preclude imprudent transactions involving the District's funds. No public deposit shall be made except in a qualified public depository as established by Revised Code

  • f the State of Washington, except for bond funds which have been authorized by bond resolution to

be deposited in out-of-state financial institutions.

slide-77
SLIDE 77

5 | P a g e

Securities purchased in the repurchase agreement must be direct obligations of the U.S. Government. If the term of the repurchase exceeds 10 calendar days, the terms of the specific transaction must be approved by the Treasurer and collaterization level may be set higher than 102 percent. The Treasurer may also approve specific transactions wherein repurchase agreement securities purchased are other than direct government obligation; however, the securities purchased must be of a type eligible as authorized investments. Securities purchased must be held by a trust department of a third party custodian chosen by the District and acting as the District's safekeeping agent. For each financial institution the District negotiates a repurchase agreement, there must be a signed Master Repurchase Agreement and District monies are to be released on a delivery-versus-payment basis only. A clearly marked evidence of

  • wnership (safekeeping receipt) must be supplied in the District's name. The right of securities

substitution is granted subject to District approval of each individual substitution transaction.

Safekeeping and Custody

All security transactions, including collateral for repurchase agreements, entered into by the District shall be conducted on a delivery-versus-payment basis. Securities will be held by a third party custodian designated by the District and evidenced by safekeeping receipts.

Diversification

The District will diversify its investments by security type, institution and maturity. The District's investment portfolio will be restricted by investment type. It is expected that diversification levels are as follows: With the exception of direct US Government obligations, repurchase agreements collaterized by the same, and the state investment pool; the investment portfolio shall not be more than:  Fifty percent (50%) invested in Supranational Institutions.  Fifty percent (50%) invested in Government Sponsored Agencies.  Fifty percent (50%) invested in Municipal Bonds.  Twenty-five percent (25%) invested in Banker's Acceptances from banks outside the United States.  Twenty-five percent (25%) invested in Commercial Paper and Corporate Notes (combined). No more than fifty percent (50%) of the total portfolio par value purchased from a single financial institution

Maturities

The District's expects to hold most investments to maturity. To the extent possible, the District will attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements for certain funds such as

  • perating, construction, habitat and current year debt service set aside accounts. Other funds such as

reserve and contingency, debt service reserves, and long-term sinking fund accounts are invested within targeted effective duration parameters as determined by the Investment Oversight Committee. Investment sales are expected to occur only if cash flow needs change from as originally anticipated. However, the District may sell investments early to meet unexpected cash flow needs, mitigate risk associated with a security type or issuer, or to capture increased yield or income when appropriate. To further mitigate risk of selling investments early to meet unexpected cash flow needs, a minimum of twenty percent (20%) of the total portfolio will be comprised of investments maturing within a year. With the exception of debt service reserve funds, long-term principal sinking funds, and reserve and contingency funds, the District will not invest in securities with an effective duration of more than six years from the date of purchase unless authorized by the Investment Oversight Committee for specific transactions. The District may collaterize its repurchase agreements with investments not to exceed thirty years to maturity. Reserve funds may be invested in securities not to exceed the maximum due date of the bond issue. Bond resolutions may specify maximum maturity for certain funds and, if more restrictive than this policy, shall be adhered to. Refunded debt monies will be invested in maturities as required to comply with the refunding parameters and agreements.

Internal Controls

The District shall obtain an annual financial statement audit by an independent party. The audit will be conducted by either the State Auditor or an external, nationally recognized audit firm. Periodic internal reviews may also be made by District employees. These reviews will provide internal control by assuring compliance with policies, procedures and prudent industry practices. Day-to-day procedures concerning investment management and accounting are a management function

  • utside the scope of this policy. The Treasurer will be responsible for implementing controls designed

to prevent loss of public funds due to fraud, error, misrepresentation or imprudent actions by employees

  • r officers.

Performance Standards

The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this

  • policy. The investment portfolio will be designed to obtain a market average rate of return during

budgetary and economic cycles, taking into consideration the District's investment risk constraints, arbitrage requirements, and cash flow needs. A series of appropriate benchmarks reflective of the actual securities being purchased, the risks undertaken, and which have a similar weighted average maturity as the portfolio will be used as a composite benchmark to evaluate overall performance. Yield considerations are secondary to legality, safety and liquidity concerns. The investment program does seek to obtain the best possible return consistent with prudent investment principles and the risk limitations identified herein. Overall portfolio strategy is actively reviewed and discussed by the Investment Oversight Committee.

Reporting

The Treasurer or his/her designee is charged with the responsibility to prepare monthly reports for the District’s Investment Oversight Committee, on the investment activity and positions of the District. At a minimum, such reporting shall include month end asset allocation by issuer type, purchases by broker/dealer, effective durations, yields, and par amounts at a summarized level within the portfolio. In addition, realized and unrealized portfolio income (total return), and benchmark performance shall be

  • reported. The Investment Oversight Committee targets to meet monthly.

Investment Policy Adoption and Modification

Per District Resolution 8745, the Board of Commissioners delegates authority to update future policies as needed and approved by the General Manager and Investment Oversight Committee with corresponding updates provided to the Financial Advisory Committee (FAC) and the Board of Commissioners. In the event any State of Washington, Federal legislation, bond resolution, contract or regulation sets forth restrictions more severe than contained herein, such restrictions shall be deemed to be immediately incorporated into this policy.

Appendix: Glossary

ACCRUED INTEREST – The interest accumulated on a bond since issue date or the last coupon

  • payment. The buyer of the bond pays the market price and accrued interest, which is payable to the seller.

AMORTIZATION – In portfolio accounting, periodic charges made against interest income on premium

bonds in anticipation of receipt of the call price at call or of par value at maturity.

ASSET – Available property, as for payment of debts. AVERAGE MATURITY – A weighted average of the expiration dates for a portfolio of debt securities.

An income fund's volatility can be managed by shortening or lengthening the average maturity of its portfolio.

BANKERS ACCEPTANCES (BAs) – A short-term debt instrument issued by a firm that is guaranteed

by a commercial bank. These instruments are similar to Treasury Bills and are frequently used in money markets funds. BAs trade at a discount from face value on the secondary market. The date of maturity typically ranges between 30 and 180 days from the date of issue.

BASIS POINT – A measure of an interest rate, i.e., 1/100 of 1 percent, or .0001. BENCHMARK – A standard against which the performance of a security, fund or investment manager

can be measured. Generally, broad market and market-segment indexes are used for this purpose.

BID – The indicated price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a security or commodity. When

selling a security a bid is obtained. (See Offer)

BOND – A long-term debt security, or IOU, issued by a government or corporation that generally pays

a stated rate of interest and returns the face value on the maturity date.

BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES – U.S. government and federal agency securities that do not exist in

definitive (paper) form; they exist only in computerized files maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank.

BOOK VALUE – The amount at which an asset is carried on the books of the owner. The book value of

an asset does not necessarily have a significant relationship to market value.

BROKER – A broker brings buyers and sellers together for a commission paid by the initiator of the

transaction or by both sides.

CALLABLE SECURITY – A security with an embedded call provision that allows the issuer to

repurchase or redeem the security by a specified date. Since the holder of a callable security is exposed to the risk of the security being repurchased, the callable security is generally less expensive than comparable securities that do not have a call provision.

slide-81
SLIDE 81

9 | P a g e

CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CDs) – Certificates issued against funds deposited in a bank for a

definite period of time and earning a specified rate of return. CDs bear rates of interest in line with money market rates current at the time of issuance.

COLLATERAL – Property (as securities) pledged by a borrower to protect the interest of the lender. COMMERCIAL PAPER – An unsecured, short-term debt instrument issued by a corporation. Maturities

  • n commercial paper rarely range longer than 270 days.

COMPETITIVE BID PROCESS – A process by which three or more institutions are contacted to obtain

prices/yields for specific securities.

CORPORATE NOTES – Debt obligations issued by corporations. Investors would consider this type of

investment as they are designed to provide higher interest rates than many other alternatives like FDIC- insured savings accounts, short term certificates of deposit, and money market funds.

CREDIT QUALITY – The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement

helps an investor to understand an issuer’s ability to make timely interest payments and repay the loan principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by nationally recognized rating agencies.

CREDIT RISK – The risk that another party to an investment transaction will not fulfill its obligations.

Credit risk can be associated with the issuer of a security, a financial institution holding the entity's deposit, or a third party holding securities or collateral. Credit risk exposure can be affected by a concentration of deposits or investments in any one investment type or with any one party.

CUSTODIAN – An independent third party (usually bank or trust company) that holds securities in

safekeeping as an agent for the county.

DEALER – A dealer, as opposed to a broker, acts as a principal in all transactions, buying and selling

for his own account.

DELIVERY – The providing of a security in an acceptable form to the District or to an agent acting on

behalf of the District and independent of the seller. Acceptable forms can be physical securities or the transfer of book entry securities. The important distinction is that the transfer accomplishes absolute

  • wnership control by the District.

DELIVERY VS PAYMENT – There are two methods of delivery of securities: Delivery vs. payment

and delivery vs. receipt (also called free). Delivery vs. payment is delivery of securities with an exchange

  • f money for the securities. Delivery vs. receipt is delivery of securities with an exchange of a signed

receipt for the securities.

DISCOUNT – The price of a bond that is lower than par. The discount equals the difference between the

price paid for a security and the security’s par value.

DIVERSIFICATION – Distribution of available funds among a variety of securities and institutions so

as to minimize market risk.

DURATION – A measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income investment to a change in

interest rates. Duration is expressed as a number of years. Rising interest rates mean falling bond prices, while declining interest rates mean rising bond prices. The greater the duration, the greater the interest- rate risk or reward for bond prices.

EFFECTIVE DURATION – The duration for a bond with an embedded option when the value is

calculated to include the expected change in cash flow caused by the option as interest rates change. This measures the responsiveness of a bond's price to interest rate changes, and illustrates the fact that the embedded option will also affect the bond's price.

FACE VALUE – The value of a bond stated on the bond certificate; thus, the redemption value at

  • maturity. Most bonds have a face value, or par, of $1,000.

FEDERAL FUNDS RATE – The rate of interest at which Fed Funds are traded between banks. Fed

MATURITY – The time when a security becomes due and at which time the principal and interest or

final coupon payment is paid to the investor.

TREASURY BILLS – Treasury bills are short-term debt obligations of the U.S. government. They offer

maximum safety of principal since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Treasury bills, commonly called "T-Bills," account for the bulk of government financing, and are the major vehicle used by the Federal Reserve System in the money market to implement national monetary

  • policy. T-Bills are sold in three, six, nine, and twelve-month bills. Because treasury bills are considered

to be very low risk, these instruments generally yield the lowest returns in the major money market instruments.

TREASURY NOTES – A marketable U.S. government debt security with a fixed interest rate and a

maturity between one and ten years. Treasury notes are considered low-risk, since they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Because they are lower risk and highly liquid they are generally deliver a lower return than other securities having comparable maturities.

UNDERLYING SECURITIES – Securities transferred in accordance with a repurchase agreement. WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY (WAM) – A weighted average of the expiration dates for a

portfolio of debt securities. An income fund’s volatility can be managed by shortening or lengthening the average maturity of its portfolio.
