Delivery conditions

Detailed schedule is not established in the supplied canonical timeline. Timing shown is v1 editorial sequencing, subject to the source gates.

Finance/Treasury authority; investment law, contracts and custody rules apply; legal review gated.

The problem

Public cash sitting idle is public money not working. But reaching for returns without discipline and legal guardrails is how public treasuries get into trouble.

The plan

Treasury manages the city's cash and liquidity with disciplined, legal optimization — balancing safety, liquidity, and prudent yield within investment law and custody rules. Legal review gates the approach.

No speculative plays, no yield promises — just professional stewardship of public money with published guardrails.

How you’ll know it’s working

  • Investment and custody guardrails published
  • Liquidity and safety standards documented
  • Legal review completed before any change

From the Blueprint

  • Every digital-treasury dollar moves under four guardrails: 93-day maturity limit, 30-day liquidity cap, 24/7 proof of reserves, GENIUS/SB 1568 compliance.
  • Reserves are capped at 30 days of anticipated payouts, with excess swept to traditional accounts daily.
  • All issuer partners must provide third-party cryptographic attestation that every digital dollar is 1:1 backed.
  • A Days 0–90 working group calibrates any deployment against confirmed working-capital balances before scale.
  • The posture is audit-first: figures are confirmed via public records before any expansion.
