<br /> The City's investments include investment pools managed by 4M,which is an external investment pool regulated by
<br /> Minnesota Statutes and is not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission(SEC)that follows the same
<br /> regulatory rules of the SEC. The City's investments in this investment pool are measured at the net asset value per
<br /> share provided by the pools,which are based on amortized cost methods that approximate fair value. The 4M Fund
<br /> is sponsored by the League of Minnesota Cities. For this investment pool, there are no unfunded commitments,
<br /> redemption frequency is daily, and there is no redemption notice required for the liquid class;the redemption period
<br /> is 14 days for the Plus Class.
<br /> The UBS Select Prime Industrial Fund includes investments primarily in short-term,high-credit-quality money market
<br /> instruments that invest domestically and globally in both long and short-term common stocks across all market
<br /> capitalizations. The fund aims to preserve capital, maintain liquidity and produce a competitive yield. This is an
<br /> external investment pool that operates in conformity with the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules. There are
<br /> no withdrawal restrictions related to the fund. The City's investments in this investment pool are measured at the net
<br /> asset value per share provided by the pools that approximate fair value.
<br /> Investments are subject to various risks,the following of which are considered the most significant:
<br /> Custodial credit risk—For investments,this is the risk that in the event of a failure of the counterparty
<br /> to an investment transaction(typically a broker-dealer)the City would not be able to recover the value
<br /> of its investments or collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City does
<br /> not have a formal investment policy addressing this risk,but typically limits its exposure by purchasing
<br /> insured or registered investments, or by the control of who holds the securities.
<br /> Credit risk— This is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its
<br /> obligations. Minnesota Statutes limit the City's investments to direct obligations or obligations
<br /> guaranteed by the United States or its agencies; general obligations rated "A" or better; revenue
<br /> obligations rated"AA" or better; general obligations of the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency rated
<br /> "A"or better;commercial paper issued by the United States corporations or their Canadian subsidiaries,
<br /> rated of the highest quality category by at least two nationally recognized rating agencies,and maturing
<br /> in 270 days or less; time deposits that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
<br /> or bankers acceptances of the United States banks and Guaranteed Investment Contracts guaranteed by
<br /> a United States commercial bank or domestic branch of a foreign bank, or a United States insurance
<br /> company,or their Canadian subsidiary,and with a credit quality in one of the top two highest categories
<br /> by a nationally recognized rating agency. The City's investment policies do not further address credit
<br /> risk.
