RE: A Resolution Authorizing Entry into an Intergovernmental Cooperation
Agreement Relating to the "Wisconsin Investment Series Cooperative" and
Authorizing Participation in the Investment Programs of the Fund
BACKGROUND
The Wisconsin Investment Series Cooperative (WISC) was created in 1988 by school officials
interested in investments that strive to maintain safety and liquidity while preserving capital.
Through an Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement, WISC provides a vehicle for
investment in U.S. government obligations, agencies, commercial paper and other high quality
short term instruments. The combined purchasing power of many public entities contributes
to attracting interest rates for public fund participants.
The WISC consists of separate portfolio series (each a "Portfolio" and collectively, the
"Portfolios"), each of which has a distinct investment objective and program. An investment in
a Portfolio represents an undivided beneficial ownership interest in the assets of that Portfolio
and the securities and instruments in which the assets of that Portfolio are invested. An
investment in any of the Portfolios is not a deposit of U.S. Bank, National Association or any
affiliates of U.S. Bancorp, or of any other bank, and is neither insured nor guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Government, any state governmental agency
or the Fund. Participants could lose money investing in the Fund, and there can be no
assurance that any Portfolio of the Fund that seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of$1.00
per share will be able to do so.
The Fund and its Portfolios may only invest in Permitted Investments as authorized by
Wisconsin law, which include time deposits (such as certificates of deposit, money market
accounts and bankers' acceptances), U.S. Government securities (including Treasury securities
and securities issued by a commission, agency or other instrumentality of the U.S.
Government, such as those issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal
Home Loan Banks, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, and SLM Corporation), bonds
or securities guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Government or a commission,
Finance Department

agency or instrumentality thereof,bonds or securities of any county, city, drainage district,
village, town or school district in Wisconsin, repurchase agreements, high quality commercial
paper and corporate obligations, and certain money market mutual funds.
There are risks associated with investment in the Fund and its Portfolios. However, each
Portfolio has been designed and is operated with the goal of minimizing risk. The Fund is
governed by a Commission, which has control and authority over the business and affairs of
the Fund and its assets, subject to the rights of the Participants as provided in the
Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement. The Commission oversees, reviews, and
supervises the activities of all consultants and professional advisors to the Fund. All
Commissioners must be a member of the governing body of a Municipality or the chief
executive or administrative officer of a Municipality or an official charged with responsibility
for financial matters.
The Commission has appointed PMA Financial Network, LLC as the Administrator of the
Fund pursuant to an Administration Agreement. PMA is a financial services provider and
registered insurance provider in the State of Wisconsin. The Administrator assists in
supervising all aspects of the Fund's operations, other than investment advisory services,
marketing and custodial operations, in conformity with the 23 Intergovernmental Cooperation
Agreement. Specifically, the Administrator services all Participant accounts in the Fund;
determines and allocates income of the Fund; provides administrative personnel and facilities
to the Fund; advises the Commission regarding methods of seeking and obtaining additional
Participants for the Fund; determines the net asset value of the Fund;bears certain expenses
for the Fund; and performs related administrative services for the Fund. On a quarterly basis,
the Administrator provides the Commission with an evaluation of the performance of the
Fund. This evaluation includes a comparative analysis of the Fund's investment results in
relation to industry standards, such as the performance of money market mutual funds and
various indices of money market securities.
If the City Council adopts this proposed resolution, WISC will be added to the list of
authorized public depositories in the City's Investment Policy. The Investment Policy will be
reviewed in the future by the Long Range Finance Committee.

Staff recommends that Council pass this resolution.

opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until:(i)the class certification is denied;or
(ii)the class is decertified;or(iii)the customer is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to

beyond our control, including, but not limited to, war, strikes,natural disasters,terrorist acts, government restrictions, exchange or market

programs available to customers. The following program names may appear in various communications or confirmations delivered by the
firm.
• Network Program: This program provides access to our network of investments that do not carry third party insurance. PMA
does not guarantee these investments. Certificates of deposit may have Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage on
deposit accounts of"up to FDIC allowable limits" or less. Commercial paper is unsecured debt issued by a corporation.
Commercial paper does not carry any federal insurance coverage but may have credit enhancement facilities or features to
support its credit rating. The fact that PMA offers a particular investment should not be construed as a recommendation to
purchase such investment nor does it imply any warranty of the credit or liquidity features of such investment.
• Collateral Program: Banks may offer to collateralize your certificate of deposit by pledging eligible securities, providing a
Federal Home Loan Bank Letter of Credit or pledging other acceptable collateral. Banks will maintain collateral in amounts
equal to the deposits in the certificate of deposit account or specified by your entities investment policy,whichever is greater.
The firm will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that collateral agreements are properly executed. However, the firm
recommends that legal counsel review each collateral agreement.

investments. Information regarding insurance providers participating in PMA programs is available upon written request. All
disclaimers that apply to the Network program also apply to the Insured program.

regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body. The validity of the remaining provisions and conditions shall not be affected thereby, and this
Agreement shall be carried out as if such invalid or unenforceable provision or condition was not contained herein.
