Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page -for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation many
pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to determine
whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column reflects
the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the Supplement Service and appear as
published for the original Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number
printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in compiling
an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

Securities transactions between a broker-dealer
and the custodian involving purchase or sale of
securities by transfer of money or securities must
be made on a "delivery vs. payment" basis, if
applicable, to ensure that the custodian will have
the security or money, as appropriate, in hand at
the conclusion of the transaction. Securities held

liens.

proved institutions and dealers transacting repur-

tions shall adhere to the requirements of the
SIFMA master repurchase agreement.

reputable, qualified and financially sound banks
and/or dealers must be contacted and asked to
provide bids on the securities in question when

and maintain a written system of internal
controls made a part of the village's oper-
ational procedures. The internal controls

ployee error, misrepresentation by third
parties, or imprudent actions by employ-
ees of the village. No person shall engage
in an investment transaction except as
authorized in this policy.
(2) Independent auditors, as a normal part of

market value as of the report date. The report will
be provided to the legislative and governing body
of the village and shall be available to the public.
(r) Securities; disposition. Every security pur-
chased on behalf of the Village must be properly
earmarked and:
(1) If registered with the issuer or agents,
must be immediately placed for safekeep-
ing in a location that protects the village's
interest in the security;
(2) If in book entry form, must be held for the
credit of the governing body by a deposi-
tory chartered by the federal government,
the state, or any other state or territory of

principal place of business in the state as
defined in Florida Statutes section 658.12,
or by national association organized and
existing under the laws of the United
States which is authorized to accept and
exercise trusts and which is doing busi-
ness in the state, and must be kept in the

apart from the assets of the financial
institution, or
(3) If physically issued to the holder but not
registered with the issuer or its agents,
must be immediately placed for safekeep-
ing in a secured vault.

originally intended or for more optimal invest-
ments, the chief financial officer may sell such
ADMINISTRATION
investments at the then -prevailing market price
and place the proceeds into the proper account or
fund.
(t) Policy considerations.
(1) Exemptions. Any investment held prior to

ties. No person may engage in an investment
transaction except as provided under the terms of

Nothing set forth herein shall preclude the village
from utilizing an investment advisor to assist in
managing the village's portfolio. Such investment
advisor must be registered under the Investment
Advisor's Act of 1940. The investment advisor
may invest funds on behalf of the village in
accordance with the mandates of this investment
policy.
Authorized signatories are the chief financial of-
ficer, the village manager and the village mayor.
These individuals are also authorized to initiate
wire transfers for the village. All investment
transactions require approval by two (2) of the
depository signatories.
(v) The chief financial officer shall review the
investment policy annually and, if necessary, pres-
ent modifications to the village council for ap-
