The fair <br />value of the position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool shares, which is based on an amortized <br />cost method that approximates fair value. The 4M Fund is sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities. <br />Investments are purchased and regulated according to Minnesota Statutes. For this investment pool, there <br />are no unfunded commitments, redemption frequency is daily, and there is no redemption notice required <br />for the liquid class; the redemption notice period is 14 days for the Plus Class. <br />B. Deposits <br />In accordance with applicable Minnesota Statutes, the City maintains deposits at depository banks <br />authorized by the City Council, including checking accounts and certificates of deposit. <br />The following is considered the most significant risk associated with deposits: <br />Custodial Credit Risk — In the case of deposits, this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the <br />City's deposits may be lost. <br />Minnesota Statutes require that all deposits be protected by federal deposit insurance, corporate surety <br />bond, or collateral. The fair value of collateral pledged must equal 110 percent of the deposits not <br />covered by federal deposit insurance or corporate surety bonds. Authorized collateral includes treasury <br />bills, notes, and bonds; issues of U.S. government agencies; general obligations rated "A" or better; <br />revenue obligations rated "AA" or better; irrevocable standard letters of credit issued by the Federal <br />Home Loan Bank; and certificates of deposit. Minnesota Statutes require that securities pledged as <br />collateral be held in safekeeping in a restricted account at the Federal Reserve Bank or in an account at <br />a trust department of a commercial bank or other financial institution that is not owned or controlled <br />by the financial institution furnishing the collateral. The City has no additional deposit policies <br />addressing custodial credit risk. <br />At year-end, the City's carrying amount of the City's deposits was $288,009, while the balance on the <br />bank records was $315,404. At December 31, 2023, all deposits were fully covered by federal deposit <br />insurance, surety bonds, or by collateral held by the City's agent in the City's name. <br />-43- <br />
