IV. Review and Approval of Subcommittee Minutes From the July 15, 2021 
Meeting--Subcommittee Chair

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    Draft minutes from the July 15, 2021 Subcommittee meeting via 
teleconference will be reviewed. The Subcommittee will consider action 
to approve.

V. Review of 2022 Administrative Budget--UCR Depository Manager

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    The UCR Depository Manager will lead a discussion regarding the 
continued preparation of the 2022 UCR administrative budget. The 
Subcommittee may take action to recommend to the Board adoption of the 
2022 budget.

VI. Investing Excess Fees for the 2021 Registration Year in 
Certificates of Deposit (CDs)--Subcommittee Chair and UCR Depository 
Manager

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    The Subcommittee Chair and UCR Depository Manager will lead a 
discussion regarding an opportunity to invest 2021 excess fees into one 
or more CDs. CDs will earn a somewhat better return than the current 
savings accounts at the Bank of North Dakota where these funds are 
deposited. The 2021 excess fees will not be utilized until January 2023 
at the earliest, so earning a higher rate of return will increase the 
excess fees, providing for additional funding in 2023. The Subcommittee 
may take action to recommend a plan to the Board.

VII. Development of an Investment Strategy--Subcommittee Chair and UCR 
Depository Manager

For Discussion and Possible Subcommittee Action

    The Subcommittee Chair and UCR Depository Manager will lead a 
discussion regarding the development of an investment strategy and 
policy for increasing the rate of return on administrative reserve 
funds that are currently invested in CDs, which are earning 
historically low rates of interest. Maintaining safety of 
administrative reserves capital will be a priority in the strategy. The 
Subcommittee may take action to recommend a plan to the Board for 
investing administrative reserve funds.

VIII. Review of 2021 Administrative Expenses--UCR Depository Manager

    The UCR Depository Manager will review the expenditures of the UCR 
Plan for the first ten months ended October 31, 2021 with the 
Subcommittee. A forecast for the final two months in the year will also 
be presented.

IX. Other Business--Subcommittee Chair
