Cash Management Assistance Request

The Cash Management staff provides efficient management of state receipts and disbursements, ensures effective banking services to state departments, and offers cash management assistance to state departments and local governments.  The latter service is authorized under C.R.S. 24-22-107(6.5) and is initiated only by an invitation from the department or local government.  The assistance includes an analysis of the financial operations and recommendations to reduce expenses or provide additional revenues.  Operations typically examined include cash processing, banking services, and investment policies and programs.  There are no fees for the assistance, except for travel expenses incurred if an extended on-site visit becomes necessary.

Charter School Intercept Program

The Colorado State Treasurer has established the procedures necessary to implement a program to intercept moneys, if sufficient, for the payment of debt service on charter school bonds (the "Charter Intercept Program") pursuant to Section 22-30.5-406 of the Colorado Revised Statutes (the "Charter Intercept Statute"). The Charter Intercept Statute was adopted by the Colorado Legislature to enhance the ability of State charter schools to obtain favorable financing terms on bonds issued on behalf of charter schools.

Interest Free School Loan Program

Pursuant to C.R.S. 29-15-112 and 22-54-110, the State Treasurer is authorized to issue short term debt in order to make interest-free loans to participating Colorado school districts to alleviate temporary general fund cash flow deficits expected to be experienced by such participating districts during each fiscal year. Each District must adopt a resolution pledging repayment of its loan from ad valorem property tax revenues received by the Participating District during the period of March through June of the fiscal year, and must execute a promissory note to the Treasurer to evidence its repayment obligation. 

School/District Intercept Program

The School District Intercept Program (SDIP), C.R.S. 22-41-110, was first implemented in 1991.  SDIP requires the State Treasurer to guarantee the timely payment of bonds issued by school districts. The program, as established, not only obliges the Treasurer to make any bond payments a school district fails to make, it also requires the Treasurer to withhold the entire amount of the bond payment from the district’s equalization payments until the state is fully reimbursed. The program also made it mandatory for all districts to participate. If a district received equalization payments from the state, its bonds were automatically enrolled in the program.

Time Deposit
