Key outcomes from the Alpine County Treasury Oversight Committee special meeting on Sept. 21, 2026:
• Approval of minutes (Item 5.1): The committee approved the minutes from the April 16, 2026 meeting. The record shows a motion to approve (mover named as Griffith; second by Mick Surly) and a unanimous ‘aye’ vote.
• Investment policy recommendation (Item 5.2): The committee voted to recommend amendments to the county investment policy to allow a public money market account and related definitions and deposit types; the motion passed unanimously and will be taken to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
• Direction on 5 Star Bank account (Item 5.3): Committee members heard a presentation from 5 Star Bank and agreed to bring a second Board item requesting direction to open a public money market account (including a recommended dollar amount after staff consults with Assistant Treasurer/Tax Collector Susan Lappin). The committee did not take a binding vote to open any account during the meeting.
These actions are procedural committee recommendations; final authority for policy adoption and any account openings rests with the Board of Supervisors.
