22. INVESTMENT OPTIONS
George Jeffries, City Treasurer, reported that Council approval of
this item would empower the Mayor and staff to work with Orange
County officials to open the Orange County Treasurer's Pool to
outside depositors; the City and other agencies perceived this
opportunity as a valuable investment option; the Treasurer's Pool
was a quality pool with excellent return and short-term maturity;
., and summarized justification for approval including staff's
knowledge and experience with the Orange County Treasurer's
Investment Pool, top rating and monitoring by Fitch Investors
Service, ease of operations, excellent return, and recommendation
by the Audit Committee.
John Garner, Audit Committee member, stated the Audit Committee
had analyzed the Orange County Treasurer's Pool and supported its
operation, liquidity and quality of the Treasurer's Pool.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding the Board of
Supervisors ,position on opening the Pool to investors; the
County's net cost would be reduced by accepting outside deposits;
Fitch Investors Service rating of the Treasurer's Investment Pool
was AAA; City recommendation to the County to allow Orange County
agencies only to invest in the Treasurer's Pool; City investment
in the Treasurer's Pool would be restricted to 5-10%; legislation
after the County bankruptcy defined trust monies in the Investment
Pool; the Investment Pool's oversight committee; diversifying
investments would not be as beneficial to the City as the
Investment Pool; and the ramifications to the City should the
County declare bankruptcy.
Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli stated his concern regarding why the
County was hesitant to open the Pool to outside agencies; the City
could diversify their portfolio; noted his reluctance to have the
City as the initiating entity requesting the County open the Pool
to local agencies; and remarked on the anticipated lack of
communication from the County if a financial problem arose in the
future.
Councilmember Doyle requested review of the County's insurance
policy; ascertaining the potential political ramifications; and
stated his trust in the City Treasurer's recommendation.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding the Board of
Supervisors was the authorizing entity to open the Pool to outside
investors; it would be difficult for the County to declare
bankruptcy under the new legislation; why the Board of Supervisors
had not authorized the County Treasurer to open the Pool to
outside investors; and Tustin's request to open the Pool to
outside investors would be made in conjunction with other cities.
Mayor Thomas suggested a Mayoral letter be forwarded to the County
and, dependent upon a favorable response, invite staff from the
County Treasurer's Office to present a report to Council regarding
insurance and possible outcomes if a loss occurred in the
portfolio.
Council/staff/Committee Member Garner discussion followed
regarding large investors were able to gain better pricing,
availability, and liquidity; the County should assure the public
that investment mistakes of the past would not be repeated; Orange
County cities were paying added costs when borrowing money; and
other agencies were interested in forwarding letters to the County
to open the Pool to investors.
Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli stated that he did not observe a
significant change in County management; reiterated his concern
about the City initiating action to open the Investment Pool to
outside agencies; assurances were necessary from the County that
City money invested would be held in trust; the County should be
approaching cities for investments; and he opposed forwarding a
letter to the County to allow outside agencies to invest in the
Treasurer's Investment Pool.

Councilmember Potts stated he did not believe the County would
repeat past poor investment decisions; voiced his concern
regarding why the Board of Supervisors had not opened the Pool to
outside investors; and said that until other questions raised
during Council discussion were answered, he was opposed to
authorizing a City letter requesting the County open the
Treasurer's Investment Pool.
Mayor Thomas remarked on the Audit Committee's analysis of the
Treasurer's Investment Pool and their recommendation for the City
to request the Investment Pool be opened to outside investors;. the
Investment Pool's AAA rating; Investment Pool withdrawal
procedure; and he believed this was a good business decision for
the City to request the Pool be opened.

letter to Orange County Treasurer John Moorlach requesting the
County open the Treasurer's Investment Pool to local Orange County
agencies.

Ronald Nault, Director of Finance, addressed concerns that had
been raised at the September 2, 1997 Council meeting including
the lease agreement; system administration and maintenance costs;
and proposed hardware and software.
William Huston, City Manager, stated that staff was aware of
Council's concern regarding the proposed cost of the project; the
current City computer system dated back to 1985; some equipment
did not have maintenance contracts because the cost of the
contract was more expensive than the hardware; explained the
function of the Computer Standards Committee; the proposed system
was the most cost effective for City needs; recent computer system
purchases by the Orange County Fire Authority and City of Costa
Mesa; and a City needs analysis had been conducted.
Councilmember Potts reiterated his request for a continuance of
this item to the October 6, 1997 Council meeting; he said he was
aware that a new computer system was needed; he was supportive of
implementing a new computer system after he was able to review the
staff report; the Chamber of Commerce had contacted him
questioning the bid process; and noted that the original computers
in the bidding process were unavailable and an upgraded version
had been substituted for the same price.
Council/staff discussion followed regarding purchasing 233 or 266
MHz rather than 166 MHz workstations and the cost of the proposed
workstations.
Richard Jung, AEF Systems Consulting, noted the price reduction of
computers over the past year; Data General was offering system
upgrades because of the reduction; and upon conducting an analysis
of the City's needs in January 1997, the 166 MHz offered the best
value.
Diane Kipp, Data General, stated that the proposed price not only
included workstations, but the design, consulting, and
installation of the network system; explained that an MMX, a 20%
increase in performance, had been added to the 166 MHz because of
the decrease in pricing; and the proposed pricing also included
monitors, "Office 97", software testing, and virus software check.

continuing the item; and staff presenting responses to Council
concerns at the October 6, 1997 Council meeting.
Council concurred to continue this item to the October 6, 1997
Council meeting.
24. ELECTION DATE FOR 1998
Mayor Thomas stated that April municipal elections resulted in low
voter turnout; a November election was approximately $22,000 less
than conducting an April election; a higher voter turnout was
expected for a November election; consolidating with the State
Primary election two years ago had been experimental; and he
supported moving the City's election to November.
Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli said he supported a November election;
April elections occasionally were conducted during school spring
vacations; April elections resulted in low voter turnout; November
elections would be less expensive; and he believed it was logical
to conduct the City's municipal election with the general
election.
Councilmember Worley commented on the low voter turnout during the
last municipal election; supported moving the City's election to
November; noted 28 of 31 cities in Orange County conducted their
elections in November; and November elections were less expensive
to conduct.
-Councilmember Doyle stated he supported the move to a November
election as long as the date remained permanent.
Councilmember Potts stated that voter turnout may be lower in an
April election in comparison to a November election; April
elections were financially better for the candidates and there
were less issues to vote on compared to a November election;
voters were more informed regarding local issues during April
elections; the City's election had changed dates three times since
1988; stated his concern that Councilmembers' terms would be
extended by 6 months; he believed this to be a political issue;
and requested the election date be decided by voters.
Councilmember Worley said she supported a November election
because it was more convenient for voters; she had supported the
change of the 1996 election to March because the City's election
would have been held two weeks after the primary election;
conducting a November election was less expensive than an April
election; and the visual blight from candidate signs in the City
would be eliminated in April.
Council discussion followed regarding whether the voters should
decide to consolidate the election date.
Mayor Pro Tem Saltarelli stated that this was not a political
issue; a consolidated November election would be a convenience to
voters; and reiterated his support of changing the City's election
date to November.
It was moved by Saltarelli seconded by Worley, to change the
City's General Municipal Election date from April 1998, to
November 1998.
Councilmember Potts stated that changing the election date was a
political issue; noted the changes in election dates since 1988;
said that other cities had not changed election dates in
comparison to Tustin; and he believed the voters should decide the
issue.

change had been a political issue; remarked on the low voter
turnout for April elections; Proposition 208 campaign contribution
