City Council Staff Report DATE: NOVEMBER 9, 2026 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT FINANCE DIVISION DISTRICT: ALL SUBJECT: RECEIVE AND FILE THE MONTHLY AND QUARTERLY INVESTMENT ACTIVITY REPORTS FOR SEPTEMBER 2026 RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend that the City Council: 1. Receive and file the September 2026 monthly and quarterly investment activity reports for the City of Palmdale and Successor Agency. BACKGROUND In accordance with Section 16 of the City and Successor Agency Investment Policy, the City Treasurer is required to prepare and present monthly and quarterly investment reports to the City Manager/Executive Director and the City Council/Board of Directors. These reports include detailed information on each investment, including the investment type, issuer name, purchase date, maturity date, amount invested, and interest rate. Reporting covers all pooled investments of the City and Successor Agency, as well as Certificates of Participation, Revenue Bonds, Tax Allocation Bonds, Assessment Districts, and Community Facilities District accounts managed by external fiscal agents. The monthly and quarterly investment reports provide an overview of the City and Successor Agency’s investment activity and portfolio performance. They summarize total assets, portfolio allocations, average maturities, yields, and book values. The interest rates presented reflect the most current rates available as of the report date. Market values for pooled City and Successor Agency investments are based on closing prices as of the report date. Pricing information is obtained from reputable sources, including the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Financial Markets, Capital Market Finance publications, and other reliable market data providers.

Report to Mayor and City Council Re: Monthly and Quarterly Investment Report September 2026 November 9, 2026 Page 2 DISCUSSION Compliance with Investment Policy As of September, the City’s total investment portfolio was valued at $370,915,533, an increase of $21,325,568 from the prior month and an increase of $64,663,211 over the same period last year. The monthly increase is primarily due to new investment purchases of $8,000,000 and investment into the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) of $17,756,000, offset by some operational costs during the current month. The Successor Agency’s portfolio had a par value of $3,484,109 as of September, representing a decrease of $5,856,344 from the previous month. The decrease is attributed to the debt service payment made from the trustee account this month. All investments are in full compliance with Section 8 of the City’s Investment Policy. The portfolios consist of a diversified mix of authorized investment instruments, including Certificates of Deposit, Corporate Notes, U.S. Treasury Securities, and Government Agency Securities, each maintained within established portfolio percentage limits. The Finance Division serves as custodian of the City and Successor Agency investment portfolios and adheres to the three primary objectives outlined in the Investment Policy:  Safeguard principal by investing in financial instruments that mitigate the risk of market-related losses;  Maintain sufficient liquidity to meet anticipated cash flow needs; and  Achieve a competitive market rate of return consistent with policy constraints. Liquidity Maintaining adequate liquidity to support operational requirements remains a key priority of the Finance Division. To support this objective, the City and Successor Agency invest in two pooled funds: the Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF) and the California Asset Management Program (CAMP). These funds are designed to support daily operational needs and provide flexibility during periods of economic uncertainty. Their high liquidity ensures that both entities can meet ongoing cash flow demands. At the end of September, the City’s LAIF balance totaled $141,273,112, an increase of $17,756,000 from the prior month, primarily due to transfers made from General bank to LAIF for the month. The Successor Agency’s LAIF balance was $2,606,929, with no change from the prior month.

Report to Mayor and City Council Re: Monthly and Quarterly Investment Report September 2026 November 9, 2026 Page 3 The City’s CAMP balance at the end of September was $55,648,755, compared to $55,472,426 in August. The increase is due to interest earned during the month. The interest rates presented reflect the most current rates available as of the date of this report. As of September 30, 2026, LAIF and CAMP were earning 3.908 percent and 3.87 percent, respectively. At the end of August, the rates were 3.863 percent for LAIF and 3.80 percent for CAMP. One year ago, LAIF and CAMP rates were 4.212 percent and 4.36 percent, respectively. The chart above compares the average monthly yields of the City’s LAIF and CAMP investment pools from December 2025 through September 2026. Both investment pools experienced a gradual decline in yields through April of 2026, followed by a period of stabilization and modest increases beginning in May. LAIF yields remained slightly above CAMP yields for most of the period and ended September 2026 at 3.91%, compared to 3.87% for CAMP. Diversity The Finance Division seeks to maintain a well-diversified investment portfolio in order to minimize exposure to risks associated with any single security type or financial institution. The City and Successor Agency portfolios remain appropriately diversified in accordance with the Investment Policy. The accompanying monthly reports detail all investments held by both entities, including current book values as of September 30, 2026. 4.03% 3.93% 3.87% 3.83% 3.81% 3.81% 3.82% 3.84% 3.86% 3.91% 3.95% 3.85% 3.83% 3.80% 3.78% 3.76% 3.77% 3.78% 3.80% 3.87% 3.60% 3.65% 3.70% 3.75% 3.80% 3.85% 3.90% 3.95% 4.00% 4.05% Q2 Dec Jan Feb Q3 Mar Apr May Q4 June Jul Aug Q1 Sep Pooled Investments Monthly Yields LAIF CAMP

Report to Mayor and City Council Re: Monthly and Quarterly Investment Report September 2026 November 9, 2026 Page 4 Based on current projections, both the City and the Successor Agency have sufficient funds to meet anticipated expenditure requirements over the next six months. The Finance Division will continue to closely monitor economic conditions and assess their potential impact on interest rates and overall portfolio performance. Attached are summaries of the investments in the City and Successor Agency’s books as of September 30, 2026.
