This is partly due to being at home for my husbands recovery from open heart surgery and less to report. I'm happy to report recovery has gone well, so well in fact, we've decided it's time for me to retire effective Sept 1. I'm also happy to share with you, Pamella Johnson will be here for you in my absence. If you attended the July training in Portland you got a chance to meet Pamella in person. And yes, we're still planning on getting both CPE and Attendance certificates issued. I want to say, it's been a pleasure working with all of you. Whether just a short time, for 15 years or in between, you are all great to work with and I'll miss this part of my job. Can't say I'll miss the 60 mile round trip drive. I hate good byes.....so this is a 'so long' and hope to stay in touch with many of you. You may even see me show up at a training for lunch! That is if Pamella or Lori let me know when one is scheduled. Please do not hesitate to contact Pamella with your questions concerning any issues you contacted me with. The plan is the contact telephone number will stay the same (503) 603-7633.....wow, just about gave you my cell number! I do love my job and love working with all of you, but not that much! And as a retiree and not having unlimited minutes it could get pricey! Pamella's e-mail is pamella.johnson at state.or.us and for now her direct number is 503 598-3533. I will be here today until 2:30 and next Monday and Wednesday from 6 am to 9 am and Tuesday from 6 am to 2:30 am as we do a knowledge transfer from my head to Pamella's. Have a great day! And the best to all of you.

Consequently, the downgrade of senior US Government obligations by Standard & Poor?s to double-A has severely restricted the investment options of these local governments. ORS 294.035(3)(a) allows investment in ?Lawfully issued general obligations of the United States, the agencies and instrumentalities of the United States or enterprises sponsored by the United States Government and obligations whose payment is guaranteed by the United States, the agencies and instrumentalities of the United States or enterprises sponsored by the United States Government.? Given the significant liquidity advantages of US Treasury and Agency obligations and that ORS 294.035 does not discriminate based on ratings, the OSTF Board does not consider Investment Policy revisions adjusting for the Standard & Poor?s downgrade to require board approval. ? If you have any questions, please contact Tom Lofton at (503) 378-4111 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
