County Earns $1 Million - A Year With Investments

By JOE ZELNIK COURT HOUSE - She keeps track of the money coming in, what they'll need to , pay the bills, and how much is available to/ save. He checks for the best interest rates and I socks it away. 1 But this is no husband-wife team trying to set aside a few bucks for a rainy day. She is Pamela Eaves, assistant county treasurer, and he is- Robert Millar of the treasurer's office. They aren't plunking $5 a week into a Christmas Club; they're inI vesting minimum amounts of $100,000 and I have as much as $16 million drawing interest at a time. The program is earning the county a million dollars a year. IT STARTED 11 years ago when Philip A. Matalucci became county treasurer. He found "idle (non-interest-bearing) funds and decided to invrat them to make money. rd "We found money in accounts they

didn't even know they had," said v_. Matalucci. Since then, the investment program. / which Matalucci handled oh his own for the first seven or eight years, has earned the county more than $10 million The countyV best year came in 1981 when it was able to earn as high at 17 per cent ( "It was unreal," said Millar ) and the county took in $1.8 million. Now the program is fine-tuned so that the county seldom has a cent that isn't ear- J ning money. THE COUNTY'S two key accounts - General Fund and Trusts — are with First Jersey National Batik /South, next door to the court hottge, in checking accounts link- V ed to insured money market accounts The latterhfrr»aying just under 9 percent interest, a rate that changes weekly Eaves, with the county treasurer 's office since 1977 and assistant treasurer since 1982, charts the county's cas6 flow: the (Page 55 Please)
