Panama City Port Authority · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

The Panama City Port Authority is considering new Investment and Debt Policies. These policies will guide how the Authority manages, protects, invests, and oversees public money and debt. The goal is to follow Florida law, ensure money is safe, available when needed, and earns good returns with low risk. The policies will outline who is responsible for investments, what types of investments are allowed, and rules for safety and diversification. This item is currently under review by the Port Authority Board. While this is a policy discussion and not a construction project, it sets the framework for future financial activities. Businesses that provide financial services, legal counsel, or consulting related to public fund management may find opportunities to engage with the Authority as these policies are implemented and future financial decisions are made. Early engagement could be beneficial as the Authority refines its financial strategies.
