Rotbage CLERK OF THE CIRCUIT COURT MONROE COUNTY 500 WHITEHEAD STREET KEY WEST, FLORIDA 33040 TEL. (305) 294-4641 M E M O R A N D U M TO: Mayor Puto and County Commissioners FROM: Danny L. Kolhage, Clerk DATE: November 30, 1988 RE: Contract with PFM BRANCH OFFICE P.O. BOX 379 PLANTATION KEY, FLORIDA 33070 TEL. (305) 852-9253 I am enclosing herewith copy of a proposed investment advisory contract between Public Financial Management, Inc. and Monroe County. The purpose of this agreement is to obtain professional investment advisory ser- vices from PFM in connection with the investment of the proceeds of the 1988 Improvement Bond issue that was recently approved by the Board. In particular, PFM will provide my office with advice and other investment services concerning the invest- ment of the Construction Fund which will enable us to maxi- mize the interest earnings on that fund while at the same time providing for the availability of those funds as the County begins the various capital improvement projects. PFM will also provide those services as outlined in the attached agreement. The fee for services will be in the amount of 0.15% of the average daily net assets of the Construction Fund. I am estimating that the total amount of the fee would fall somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 with the amount to be determined by the rate of expenditure of the funds on deposit in the Construction Fund. By reference to thi analysis of the 1988 Improvement Revenue Bond issue that was submitted by PFM dated November 22, 1988, you will see that it is anticipated that, with the assistance of PFM, the Memorandum 11-30-88 Page Two Construction Fund should earn in excess of $500,000. Therefore, I feel that the fees are more than justified for the extent of the services that will be provided, and the estimate of earnings that will be realized by the use of those services. Therefore, based on the above information, I respectfully request your approval of the enclosed contract, which I intend to have on the agenda for the December 6th meeting. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
