ADRIAN — The Lenawee County Board of Commissioners is set to adopt the 2026 Annual Investment Policy, reaffirming how county funds are invested and safeguarded.
The Annual Investment Policy applies to all county financial assets, including the general fund, special revenue funds, debt service funds and capital project funds.
Under the policy, the county prioritizes safety of principal first, followed by diversification, liquidity and return on investment.
Authority to manage the investment program is delegated to the Lenawee County Treasurer, who must follow state law and maintain written procedures and internal controls.
The policy limits investments to instruments authorized under Michigan law, including U.S. government securities, certain certificates of deposit and approved public investment pools.
There are no changes from prior years.
If approved, the policy will guide how millions of local tax dollars are managed throughout 2026.
