Joint Workshops

CMTA offers educational content through one-day seminars and pre-conference workshops. CMTA partners with CDIAC and GIOA to offer relevant training throughout the year.

Every January CMTA & CDIAC team up to conduct a two-day seminar centered around the topic of "Advanced Public Funds Investing". Our last event was designed to provide an advanced discussion of portfolio management, including the more complex concepts underlying sound public portfolio analysis and decision-making. The seminar covered investment concepts, risk, and the permissible securities under California Government Code 53601. It also included an investment portfolio case-study simulation to allow seminar participants to place concepts into practice.

Prop 26

New Proposition 26 implementation guidance has just been released by the League of California Cities. The League’s City Attorney’s Department has convened a task force that is working on a comprehensive analysis that will be available in mid January. In the mean time, the League has released an article providing preliminary guidance and answering “frequently asked questions.” Find it here: http://www.californiacityfinance.com/Prop26faq101218.pdf

The Governor on Monday released his May Revision to his FY2011-12 proposed budget. With budget cuts and fixes already adopted by the Legislature last month ($13.4 billion), some improvement in projected revenues ($6.6 billion), and a targeted reserve replenishment of $1.2 billion, the budget shortfall for the FY2011-12 budget year is $10.8 billion, and the ongoing structural gap is about $10 billion per year thereafter. The Governor’s proposed revision reduces some of the tax extensions, uses some of the higher revenue to increases school funding to meet a higher Prop98 minimum guarantee, makes fine-tuning revisions to the realignment proposal, and pays down some of the mounting debt from budgetary borrowing. The Governor is now calling for the reform, rather than elimination of Enterprise Zones, but continues to include in his proposed budget the elimination of Redevelopment and a shift of $1.7 billion in tax increment to benefit the state budget in FY2011-12.
