Investment staff told the committee that, while the county remains in a sound position, it is showing an approximately $1,000,000 mark-to-market loss year to date because held securities are marked to current market rates. Staff emphasized those securities are held to maturity and reserves and fund balances are adequate to offset such mark-to-market fluctuations.
"We do have 1000000 dollar mark to market loss year to date," the investment presenter said, and reminded the committee that mark-to-market losses are unrealized if the county holds investments to maturity. On sales tax, staff reported first-half collections are about 5.3% above the same period last year, though monthly receipts varied significantly.
Committee members had no substantive disagreements and accepted the reports.
