Stark County Investment Policy
- This Investment Policy is the investment policy of the County of Stark, Ohio (the “County”), as established by the County’s Investment Advisory Committee pursuant to Section 135.341 of the Revised Code and effective February 21, 2017. It has been approved by the Investment Advisory Committee and the Board of County Commissioners of the County and supersedes a previously-adopted policy dated June 25, 2013.
- The purpose of this Investment Policy is to establish guidelines, priorities and procedures regarding the investment of the County’s public moneys, including the management of the assets in which those moneys are invested (the “Portfolio”). Those guidelines, priorities and procedures are based upon applicable provisions of the Revised Code, including Sections 135.31 to 135.40 thereof (the “County Depository Law”) and principles of prudent financial management. In some instances, this Investment Policy is more restrictive or demanding than the County Depository Law, and the use of certain types of investments, and the manner of transacting the purchase of and safeguarding certain investments, may be more limited than the County Depository Law otherwise would permit, and the obligations imposed upon the Investing Authority (as hereinafter defined) may be greater than the County Depository Law would require. In all such instances, the Investing Authority shall comply with the provisions of this Investment Policy.
- It shall be the County’s policy for its public moneys to be invested in a manner that provides the highest investment return with maximum security, safety and preservation of principal, while providing moneys sufficient to meet the daily cash flow needs of the County, subject to the County Depository Law and this Investment Policy.
- For the purpose of this Investment Policy, “Investing Authority” means the County Treasurer, unless the Board of County Commissioners, one of its members or one of its employees is designated as such in accordance with Section 135.34 of the Revenue Code, in which event that designee shall be the Investing Authority.
