The Portage County, Ohio Investment Advisory Committee met on September 22, 2026, primarily to review the county's investment portfolio and discuss cash flow and interest income concerns. The committee noted that the county is currently holding about $90 million in cash, invested at an interest rate of approximately 3.95%, but is experiencing settlement issues delaying access to these funds. They are also reviewing RFPs for new real estate software, as the county and others are moving away from their current MVP software provider. The portfolio update highlighted a total investment portfolio of $212 million with a 13% cash allocation, and reinvestments are being made at higher yields around 4.31%. The committee discussed potential decreases in total cash and investments due to spending in various funds, including ARPA and opioid settlement funds, and the Board of Developmental Disabilities' reserve drawdown. They emphasized the need for conservative budgeting of interest income going forward due to expected lower reinvestment yields and cash flow challenges. No formal votes on procurement or contract awards were recorded, but the ongoing RFP process for software indicates upcoming procurement activity.
