behalf of the participating local governments AND, TO THE EXTENT THAT STATE FUNDS
ARE INCLUDED, ON BEHALF OF THE STATE.

(4)     The Treasurer shall develop such procedures necessary for the efficient
administration of the pool, including:

(i) Specification of minimum amounts which may be deposited in the
pool and minimum periods of time for which deposits shall be retained in the pool;

(ii) Payment of amounts equivalent to administrative expenses from
the earnings of the pool; and

(iii) Distribution of the earnings in excess of expenses, or allocation of
losses, to the several participants in a manner which equitably reflects the differing
amount of their respective investments and the differing periods of time for which the
amounts were in the custody of the pool.

(b)     (1) The Treasurer shall invest moneys in the local government investment
pool in accordance with the provisions set forth in §§ 6-222 and 6-223 of the State

or restriction contained in any other law, the Treasurer may invest, redeem, sell,
exchange, and reinvest moneys in the local government investment pool in bankers'
acceptances guaranteed by banking institutions.
