QUARTERLY INVESTMENT REPORT
District Investment Advisor Dave Ivarie and Mike Urner distributed and reviewed the
quarterly report of the WKCCD General Obligation Bond Portfolio and Facilities
Reserve as of March 31, 2013 (copies attached to the official minutes). Highlights
include income for the quarter of $98,349.25 in the Facilities Reserve with an ending
value of $18,173,267.07. The projected 12-month portfolio coupon income is $514,827.50.
The Facilities Reserve Portfolio gained $125,356.87 income for the quarter, with a
withdrawal of $2,500,000.00 for construction-related expenses, resulting in an ending
value of $13,787,610.59. The projected 12-month portfolio coupon income is $361,237.00.
The District remains in full compliance with both state and internal investment policies.
Mr. Ivarie and Mr. Urner noted that the stock market is trading at all-time highs in the
15,000 range. A slight correction is expected this summer. It appears that the economy
is suffering from the effects of under-employment which suppresses spending, although
the real estate market appears to be in a recovery mode. The analysts closely monitor
actions of the federal treasury because of their ultimate effect on the economy.
SPECIAL REPORT – Transition to Independent Living Curriculum Project
Coordinator of Student Support Services Jeff Ross reported that staff (Program Director
Sandy Popejoy and Professor Robin Polski) of the TIL Program have been working to
compile the curriculum of the two-year program which is comprised of 36 courses. The
compiled curriculum will then be submitted to legal counsel for copyrighting and
eventually marketed to other higher education institutions that wish to establish
programs for intellectually disabled students. Currently the curriculum is being beta
tested at McHenry College in Illinois.
