These policies are designed to ensure the prudent management of public funds, the availability of operating and capital funds when needed and a competitive investment return. SCOPE This investment policy applies to the investment of public funds in excess of amounts needed to meet current expenses, which includes cash and investment balances of City funds. This policy does not apply to the City's pension funds, including those funds in chapters 175 and 185 or funds related to the issuance of debt where there are other existing policies or indentures in effect which govern the investment of such funds. This policy shall be construed and applied so as to comply with Section 218.415, F.S. II. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES Investment objectives include safety of capital, liquidity of funds and investment income, in that order. The following objectives will be applied in the management of the City's funds: A. Safety of Capital The primary objective of the City's investment program is the protection of public funds. Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk. 1. Credit Risk — The City will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security issuer or backer, by: a) Limiting investments to the safest type of securities; b) Pre-qualifying the financial institution, broker/dealer, intermediaries and advisors with which the City will do business; c) Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be minimized. 2. Interest Rate Risk — The City will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the APDP 6.6.2 3. portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates, by: a) Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity; b) Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities, money market mutual funds or similar investment pools. B. Liquidity of Funds The City's investment strategy will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the City's operating, payroll and capital requirements. To the extent possible, an attempt will be made to match investment maturities with known cash needs and anticipated cash flow requirements. Since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets. A portion of the portfolio also may be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which offer same-day liquidity for short-term funds. C. Investment Income The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the intent of attaining a market rate of return throughout the budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the safety and liquidity objectives described above. III. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this policy. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of stable interest rates while insuring sufficient liquidity within the portfolio. The short-term investment portfolio shall be designed with the annual objective of exceeding the return of the Florida State Board of Administration LGIP. The long-term investment portfolio shall be designed with the annual objective of exceeding the return of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury/Agency Index compared to the portfolio's total rate of return. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year Treasury/Agency Index represents all U.S. Treasury/Agency securities maturing over one (1) year, but less than three (3) years. This maturity range is an appropriate benchmark for the core portfolio based on the objectives of the City. For the Enhanced Cash portfolio we will use the Band of America Merrill Lynch 6 month Treasury Index. IV. ETHICAL STANDARDS The investment officer and staff, acting in accordance with the written procedures and exercising due diligence, shall not be held personally responsible for a specific security's credit risk or market price changes, provided that these deviations are reported immediately and that appropriate action is taken to control adverse developments. A. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest The City's staff involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that APDP 6.6.3 could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could impair their ability to make impartial decisions. All employees involved in the investment process shall disclose to the City any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business with the City, and they shall further disclose any material personal financial/investment positions that could be related to the performance of the City's investment program. Applicable ethics standards provided by the City Charter, City Code, Section 2-11.1 of the Miami-Dade County Code, and Part III of Chapter 112, F.S., shall be complied with. B. Investments should be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the probable income to be derived from the investment. C. Designation of Investment Officer The Finance Director is designated as investment officer of the City and is responsible for investment decisions and the day-to-day administration of the cash management program. No person may engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures so established. The City may appoint an outside investment manager as "Agent" for the City's cash reserves. The "Agent" for the City shall have discretion over the purchase and sale of securities within and subject to compliance with this investment policy. Such investment manager must be registered under the Investment Advisor Act of 1940. The Finance Director shall consult with the City Manager as necessary regarding the City's investment activity. Positions authorized as investment signatories are the City Manager and Finance Director. V.

Authorized Investment Institutions and Dealers The City shall only purchase investments from the State Board of Administration, Florida Municipal Investment Trust, financial institutions which are qualified as public depositories by the Treasurer of the State of Florida, primary security dealers (or their agents) as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or by secondary securities dealers (or their agents)who act as investment banking arms of local qualified banking institutions. All financial institutions and broker/dealers who desire to provide investment services must supply the following as appropriate and as requested: 1. Annual audited financial statements; 2. Public depository certification; 3. Proof of National Association of Securities Dealer("NASD") Certification; 4. Certification of having read the City's investment policy; 5.

Internal Controls The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and APDP 6.6.10 judgments by management. Accordingly, the Finance Director shall establish a process for an annual independent review as part of the annual financial audit to assure compliance with the policies and procedures. The internal controls shall address the following points: 1. Control of collusion — Collusion is a situation where two (2) or more employees are working in conjunction to defraud their employer. 2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping — By separating the person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved. 3. Custodial safekeeping — All securities, with the exception of certificates of deposit, shall be held with a third-party custodian; and all securities purchased by, and all collateral obtained by the City should be properly designated as an asset of the City. The securities must be held in an account separate and apart from the assets of the financial institution. No withdrawal of such securities, in whole or in part, shall be made from safekeeping except by the Finance Director as authorized herein, or by their respective designee. 4. Certificates of Deposit issued by a local bank or savings and loan association may be held in safekeeping at that institution. The institution shall issue a copy of the certificate of deposit, a safekeeping receipt, or some other confirmation of the purchase that is satisfactory to the Finance Director. This will be kept on file in the Finance Department and will indicate the amount, interest rate, issue date and maturity date of the certificate of deposit. 5. Avoidance of physical delivery securities — Book entry securities are much easier to transfer and account for since actual delivery is never taken. Physical delivery securities must be properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with physically delivered securities. 6. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members — Subordinate staff members must have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions. 7. Written confirmation of telephone transactions for investments and wire transactions — Due to the potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone transactions, all telephone transactions should be supported by written communications and approved by appropriate personnel unless an agreement is executed with a financial institution as discussed in paragraph B.8 below. 8. Development of a wire transfer agreement with a bank or third-party custodian —This agreement should outline the various controls and security provisions for making and receiving wire transfers. IX. CONTINUING EDUCATION The Finance Director and Controller shall annually complete eight (8) hours of continuing education in subjects or courses of study related to investment practices and products. X. REPORTING The Finance Director shall provide a quarterly investment report to the City Manager. The report shall list investments by fund and type and include the book value, income earned and market value as of the report date. APDP 6.6.11 XI. SECURITIES; DISPOSITION A.

If physically issued to the holder but not registered with the issuer or its agents, must be immediately placed for safekeeping in a secured vault. B.

The actual securities on which the trust receipts are issued may be held by any bank depository chartered by the Federal Government, this state, or any other state or territory of the United States which has a branch or principal place of business in this state as defined in s. 658.12, or by a national association organized and existing under the laws of the United States which is authorized to accept and execute trusts and which is doing business in this state. XII. SALE OF SECURITIES When the invested funds are needed in whole or in part for the purposes originally intended or for more optimal investments, the City may sell such investments at the then-prevailing market price and place the proceeds into the proper account or fund of City. XIII. PREEXISTING CONTRACT Any public funds subject to a contract or agreement existing on May 1, 2009, may not be invested contrary to such contract or agreement. XIV. AUDITS Certified public accountants conducting audits of the City pursuant to s. 218.39 shall report, as part of the audit, whether or not the City has complied with section 218.415, F.S., and this Investment Policy.

C. The full amount of principal and accrued interest of each such certificate of deposit is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. D. The selected depository acts as custodian for the City with respect to such certificates of deposit issued for its account. E. At the same time the City's funds are deposited and the certificates of deposit are issued, the selected depository receives an amount of deposits from customers of other federally insured financial institutions, wherever located, equal to or greater than the amount of the funds initially invested by the City through the selected depository. XVI. PROHIBITED INVESTMENTS The City is prohibited from investing in any company that engages in business with the countries of Iran and Sudan. The City Manager may promulgate specific requirements for the implementation of this provision based upon criteria applied by the Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund for such purpose. XVII.

The scale increases,peaking at a22.75 percent supplement for 853 later career 10-month teachers making $64,000 to$69,999. These teachers were wronged by a change in a grandfathered pay scale, missing out on thousands of dollars in pay raises. Teachers making above that salary will get supplements of 17.75 percent and 15.88 percent. The median salary for a teacher in Miami-Dade County is around $46,000. District figures put 7,254 teachers into that group the most of any other salary range—making $45,000 to $49,999. Those teachers will receive supplements of 15.88 percent,or $7,000 to $8,000. There was little discussion during bargaining about sharing funding with charter schools,which made a push last week to get a cut of the referendum fund ng for charter teachers, who do not belong to a union. "When we went to the voters with this we were very clear on what the intent was," Carvalho said, adding that the negotiations were"honoring what people voted for." For regularly scheduled raises not tied to the referendum, teachers previously on the grandfathered scale will also see a 1 percent salary increase. Those on the performance scale will see a 0.825 percent increase for effective teachers and 1.1 percent for highly effective teachers, retroactive to July I,2018. The salary increases will be recurring and are not part of the additional funding raised by the referendum. Both sides blamed the paltry increase on a 47-cent increase in funding from Tallahassee lawmakers that could be used for teacher raises. Miami-Dade received the third-lowest increase among all 67 counties. The new deal also included more extra duties for elementary school teachers and converts a planning day to aprofessional development day. Teachers will also vote to participate in a one-year"collaborative planning"pilot that will schedule 30 minutes weekly or an hour biweekly of planning time. The tentative agreement will go to teachers for a ratification vote early next week. If approved,the contract will be placed on next week's school board agenda.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA CONDEMNING ANTI-SEMITISM ACTS BY AIRBNB, AND DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO SEND RESOLUTION AND LETTER TO THE FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the City of Aventura, Florida (the "City") desires to stand in the fight for equality for all and in the fight against the rise of anti-Semitism; and WHEREAS, the City Commission strongly opposes the practice of economic discrimination and boycotts of persons and/or entities on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, or national origin; and WHEREAS, on May 1, 2018, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2018- 44, providing that the City will not procure goods or services or otherwise contract with, a business which engages in the boycott of a person or entity based on race, color, gender, or national origin; and WHEREAS, Airbnb, Inc. ("Airbnb"), is a privately held global company headquartered in San Francisco that operates an online marketplace and hospitality service which is accessible via its websites and mobile apps where its members can use the service to arrange or offer lodging, primarily homestays, or tourism experiences; and WHEREAS, Airbnb's announced on November 19, 2018 that it would remove all listings in Jewish settlements in the West Bank while continuing to allow non-Jewish/non- Israeli listings in the West Bank, demonstrating hatred, prejudice, ignorance, hypocrisy, and discrimination based on race, national origin and religion; and WHEREAS, Airbnb's actions are antithetical to the non-discriminatory values that are important to the City; and WHEREAS, the Israeli-Jewish Congress and human rights leaders have opposed the company's actions; and WHEREAS, prejudice and discrimination based on race, national origin, religion or any other attribute, have no place in our City, county, community, country or world.

Enid Weisman, Mayor ATTEST: ELLISA L. HORVATH, MMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: CITY ATTORNEY This Resolution was filed in the Office of the City Clerk this day of , 2019. CITY CLERK „, , Town of Surfside Town Commission Meeting December 11, 2018 7:00 pm Town Hall Commission Chambers-9293 Harding Ave, 2"d Floor Surfside, FL 33154 DISCUSSION ITEM Agenda #: Date: November 30, 2018 From: Vice-Mayor Daniel Gielchinsky Subject: Airbnb Resolution Objective: To place Airbnb on notice of a material breach of its Agreement with the Town, to condemn Airbnb for its decision to withdraw its services from the Israeli population living on the West Bank region of Israel, and to urge Airbnb to reverse its discriminatory policy that unfairly targets the Jewish community. Consideration: On January 10, 2017, the Town of Surfside entered into a Voluntary Collection Agreement for Resort Tax Between Airbnb, Inc. and the Town of Surfside, Florida (the "Agreement"). The Agreement facilitates the reporting, collection and remittance of applicable resort tax imposed pursuant to Section 70.109 of the Town's Code ("Resort Tax"). Due to the Town's restrictive policy on short term rentals, Resort Tax collections attributable to Airbnb has been nominal. In FY 2017 Resort Tax collections from Airbnb were $11,038 (of a gross $1,497,212) and in FY 2018 Resort Tax collections from Airbnb were $20,620 (of a gross $2,312,489). The Town of Surfside was among the first municipalities in the country to adopt an anti-BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) ordinance in response to a global campaign led by anti- Semitic propagandists who promote various forms of boycott against Israel in order to advance their political objectives. Anti-BDS legislation has gained popularity in municipal, county and state governments throughout the United States and in June of 2018 The House Foreign Affairs Committee unanimously passed The Israel Anti-Boycott Act, advancing the measure to be considered by the entire House and to the forefront of Federal legislation. Page 1 of 1 Discussion hem-Regular Commission Meeting December 11,2018 On November 19, Airbnb announced that it was "removing listings" in "Israeli settlements in the Occupied West Bank."The company provided no details as to how it defined`Israeli settlements" or the "Occupied West Bank" and whether its decision relates to Jerusalem. The announcement was made atter two years of attacks on Airbnb's Israel business by pro-BDS NGOs masquerading as self-proclaimed human rights groups who blackmailed Airbnb with negative publicity and fear of being included in the UNHRC blacklist. Airbnb's "global platform" is offered in 191 countries and regions. These include the world's biggest human rights violators such as China, Saudi Arabia,Russia,and even Yemen and Somalia. Airbnb listings can be found in the occupied Western Sahara, Nagomo-Karabakh and Northern Cyprus. There is a listing for Russian-occupied Crimea. There are even listings in Gaza which is controlled by the Hamas terror group. State sponsors of terror are not being removed from Airbnb's platform, nor are countries where gender equality is nonexistent. Only Jewish-owned properties in the West Bank have been the subject of an intensive NGO campaign and subsequent removal by Airbnb. Only anti-Semitism could cause this hypocritical scenario to unfold. Analysis: Airbnb's announcement and policy violate the Agreement and the Town's Code. Compliance with Section 3-1.1 of the Town Code is a specific requirement of the Agreement's paragraph (V). In the Agreement, Airbnb specifically affirms it will not engage in a boycott as defined in Section 3-1.1 of the Town Code, which provides as follows: Sec. 3-1.1. - Non-discrimination; contract requirements; waiver. (a) Definitions.As used in this section,the following terms shall have the following meaning: Boycott means to blacklist, divest from, or otherwise refuse to deal with a nation or country, or to blacklist or otherwise refuse to deal with a person or entity when the action is based on race,color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital or familial status, age, or disability in a discriminatory manner. The term boycott does not include a decision based upon business or economic reasons, or boycotts, embargoes, trade restrictions, or divestments that are specifically authorized or required by federal law or state law. Business means any sole proprietorship, organization, association, corporation, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, or other entity or business association, including wholly owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, parent companies, or affiliates of those entities or business associations awarded a contract pursuant to this article. (b) Contract requirements;waiver. (I) The town shall not enter into a contract with a business unless the contract includes a representation that the business is not currently engaged in, and an agreement that the business will not engage in, a boycott,as defined in this section. 2 Discussion Item-Regular Commission Meeting December 11,2018 (2) The town commission may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the requirements of this section upon an affirmative vote when the town commission deems the waiver necessary for the health, safety, or welfare of the town. Recommendation: The Town's anti-BDS laws and policies must be meaningful and enforced. Just as the Town of Surfside was a national leader in adopting ant-BDS legislation, I recommend that we be a national leader in standing up to Airbnb's discriminatory and anti-Semitic business practices, and unanimously adopt the attached Resolution placing Airbnb on notice of a material breach of its Agreement with the Town, condemning Airbnb for its decision to withdraw its services from the Israeli population living on the West Bank region of Israel, and urging Airbnb to reverse its discriminatory policy that unfairly targets the Jewish community. 3 ' criO City of Miami City Hall t( Certified CO 3500 Pan American Drive (Jy Miami, 33133 vmw.miamimigov.mm pk♦ .: File Number: 5233 Enactment Number: R-18-0572 A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION CONDEMNING AIRBNB, INC.'S DECISION TO REMOVE LISTINGS OF RENTALS IN ISRAELI SETTLEMENTS IN THE WEST BANK; DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO TRANSMIT A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE DESIGNATED OFFICIALS STATED HEREIN.

RJW/act Attachment CC01765-19 ORDINANCE NO. 2019- AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 1 "GENERAL PROVISIONS," OF THE CITY CODE BY CREATING SECTION 1-18, "SALE OF NICOTINE VAPORIZERS (E- CIGARETTES) AND LIQUID NICOTINE TO MINORS PROHIBITED; SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS; POSSESSION BY MINORS PROHIBITED; PENALTIES" AND SECTION 1-19 "USE OF NICOTINE VAPORIZERS AND LIQUID NICOTINE PROHIBITED NEAR CITY PARKS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS ; SIGNAGE REQUIREMENTS; ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS; PENALTIES"; PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION; PROVIDING FOR REPEAL; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN CODE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), are electronic products that permit users to inhale vaporized nicotine, flavor, and other chemicals, without fire, smoke, ash or carbon dioxide; and WHEREAS, these and similar devices allow users to inhale vaporized liquid nicotine created by a heating mechanism or electronic ignition system; and the vapors are expelled by a cartridge or pod that usually contains a concentration of pure nicotine; and WHEREAS, consumers are led to believe that e-cigarettes are a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes, despite the fact that e-cigarettes have the potential to be addictive; and WHEREAS, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted laboratory analysis of nicotine vaporizer cartridges and found the following: • Diethylene glycol, an ingredient used in antifreeze and toxic to humans, was found in one cartridge; • Certain tobacco-specific nitrosamines, which are human carcinogens, were detected in half of the samples tested; • Tobacco-specific impurities suspected of being harmful to humans were detected in a majority of the samples tested; • All but one tested cartridge labeled as containing no nicotine did in fact contain low levels of nicotine; Page 1 of 9 • Three identically labeled cartridges emitted markedly different amounts of nicotine with each puff. Nicotine levels per 100 mL puff ranged dramatically from 26.38 to 43.2 mcg of nicotine; • One high-nicotine cartridge delivered twice as much nicotine to users as was delivered by a nicotine inhalation product approved by FDA for use as a smoking cessation aid which was used as a control; and WHEREAS, sales of e-cigarettes have grown rapidly in the United States, and after doubling every year since 2008, sales from 2016 to 2017 grew more than seven fold; and WHEREAS, according to recent empirical studies and widespread news reports, the use of youth-oriented, flavored e-cigarettes has skyrocketed to alarming popularity with teens in middle and high schools across the nation; and WHEREAS, new versions of nicotine dispensing e-cigarettes, such as those manufactured by Juul Labs, Inc. (JUUL), have further flamed the nationwide vaping craze among America's youth. Specifically, JUUL e-cigarettes come in youth-popular flavors, look like a flash drive, are easily concealed, and are rechargeable on Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports; and WHEREAS, due to their ease of use, the variety of sweet and fruit-flavored vapors offered, their sleek and discrete appearance, and the mass marketing of its products, JUUL e-cigarettes and other similar nicotine dispensing devices have become immensely popular with teenage children, thereby putting the next generation of Americans at risk of nicotine addiction and threatening to undermine the decades of progress made in our country to reduce youth tobacco use; and WHEREAS, a 2016 Report of the U.S. Surgeon General, entitled "E-cigarette use among Youth and Young Adults," concluded that the use of nicotine in any form by youths is unsafe, and that nicotine exposure during adolescence can cause addiction and can harm the developing adolescent brain; and WHEREAS, according to information contained on the JUUL website, the nicotine content in each 5% JUUL pod, which contains approximately 0.7 ml with 5% nicotine by weight and which is intended to provide approximately 200 puffs, has the approximate nicotine yield of a pack of cigarettes; and WHEREAS, as reported on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website, in the United States, nearly 90% of adult smokers began smoking before the age of 18, and the younger an individual is when he or she experiments with smoking, the more likely he or she is to become a regular or daily smoker; and Page 2 of 9 WHEREAS, on December 18, 2018, the Surgeon General declared teen e- cigarette and vaping use an epidemic due to recent studies indicating the number of high school seniors vaping nicotine has nearly doubled between 2017 and 2018; and WHEREAS, Florida citizens recently passed a constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of vapor-generating electronic devices in enclosed indoor workplaces, while giving local governments the authority to impose more restrictive regulations; and WHEREAS, the Commission of the City Of Aventura (the "City") finds that it is in the best interest of the City and necessary to protect the health, safety, and welfare of its residents and visitors to prohibit the sale of nicotine vaporizers and liquid nicotine to minors, to prohibit the possession of these items by minors, to regulate retailers and other establishments who are in possession of nicotine vaporizers or liquid nicotine for the purposes of selling the products to consumers, individuals, or the general public, to prohibit the use of nicotine vaporizers and liquid nicotine within City parks and public schools, to prohibit the use of nicotine vaporizers and liquid nicotine where smoking is prohibited under the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act, to provide additional restrictions, and to assign penalties for violations of these regulations.
