REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A FY 2002-03 ROBERT S. SEGAL, CPA
PA AGREEMENT FOR THE STATE CRIMINAL ALIEN ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM (SCAAP): Finance Director Blumenstein said she was seeking approval of
an agreement that would allow CPA Robert Segal to continue his work in seeking federal
reimbursements when criminal aliens were incarcerated at the jail. She said that during
the past year, Segal's fee was twenty cents of every dollar received from SCAAP, but this
would be reduced to seventeen cents in 2003.
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
PROPOSAL: Blumenstein said it had become increasingly more difficult to obtain a
good yield on investments. She said that recently $1 million had been bidded out for a
180 -day certificate of deposit, and the best return found was 1.7%. Mrs. Blumenstein
said the North Carolina Capital Management Trust was primarily used for investments
due to the absolute liquidity, but she was seeking other investment tools. She proposed
that the county enter into an investment management arrangement with First Citizens
Bank. Blumenstein said the benefits to the county would be (1) the staffs time working
on the investments would be reduced and (2) it would be similar to having a full-time
investment banker. She said the goal of the proposal would be to "maximize the county's
investment yield without taking risks."
It was the consensus of the board to allow Blumenstein to enter into the
investment management proposal, but to limit the amount managed by First Citizens to
$5,000,001.00.
