In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over financial reporting.

However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

The City's major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditors' results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major federal programs is the responsibility of the City's management: Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the City's compliance based on our audit. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A-133, Audits of Stater, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and materialeffect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance with those requirements.

This basis of accounting recognizes revenues in the accounting period in which they become susceptible to accrual, i.e. both measurable and available, and expenditures in the accounting period in which the liability is incurred, if measurable, except for certain .compensated absences, claims and judgments, which are recognized when the obligations are expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources. Equipment purchases for grant purposes are treated as expenses in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and typically capitalized for financial statement purposes. Federal grant funds are considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant, and, accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned. Generally, unused balances are returned to the grantor at the close of specified project periods Note 2 - Basis of Presentation The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal grant activity of the City under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2011. Theinformationin this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Government, and Non -Profit Organizations. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash Flows of the City. 1. i Texas General Land Office CDBG Disaster Recovery Program Grantee Annual Report Round: 2.1 Date: 07-18-2013 Grantee: City of La Porte V i Non -Housing Program Grant Administrator: Berg Oliver Associates, Inc.

Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain and Wetlands To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the City of La Porte has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential effect that its activity in the floodplain and wetlands will have on the human environment for the Little Cedar Bayou Drainage project under the Disaster Recovery Program — DRS210231. The proposed project is to significantly increase the capacity of the drainage system and reduce flooding for the citizens of La Porte. HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDGB) Disaster Recovery funds will be used to widen the existing bayou and perform excavation of the existing drainage channel. Work will include relocating plpelines,�applying concrete paving on side slopes, constructing concrete low -flow section, installing culverts, constructing an all-weather access road adjacent to the Bayou, and performing site work associated with the construction. The City will also acquire rights -of -way and property as needed to accommodate the flood and drainage improvements. The 100- year floodplain area was based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplain Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel number 48201C0945L, revised June 18, 2007. The entire project is located within a 100-year floodplain zone and floodway. Impacts will include approximately 8.48 acres in the Little Cedar Bayou floodplainlfloodway. The channel alignment will be adjusted to minimize curves, which will lower flow velocities in order to reduce erosion and long-term maintenance. Little Cedar Bayou, a jurisdictional water, contains a National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapped area listed as palustrine forested, broad-leaved deciduous and seasonally flooded (PFO1C). The NWI wetland occupies approximately 0.58 acre within the proposed project area, and approximately 0.46 acre of the NWI area will be impacted. Of the approximately 0.46 acre of NWI area, a total of approximately 0.02 acre of jurisdictional wetlands would be impacted by the proposed drainage improvements. The proposed project is located on the northern portion of Little Cedar Bayou, from West Madison Street to approximately 450 feet south of West Main (Spencer Highway), for a total of 2,500 feet, in La Porte, Galveston County, Texas. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the City of La Porte at the following address on or before August 2, 2013 or a minimum of 15 calendar days after the publication, whichever is later: La Porte City Hall, 604 W.

Brook; Cole Konopka Subject: RE: GLO City of La Porte - Little Cedar Bayou: impacts, etc. (#9006) Awesome. This will help greatly. Regarding questions 1 and 4, these have usually been answered by the engineer in other GLO projects. We do not have the design files to measure the floodplain impacts, so we can't answer this one ourselves. As far as the project alternatives, were there any other design considerations taken before reaching this final design? Examples could be opting for a closed conduit system versus an open channel system, opting for partial open channel, partial closed conduit system, using certain channel dimensions vs others because of ROW constraints, using riprap vs no riprap, considering longer/shorter length of project improvements, etc. At minimum, we need 3 alternatives to mention: (1) the no -build, (2) the preferred build, and (3) another (eliminated) build alternative with reasons for elimination. We can provide the reasoning for not choosing the no -build alternative.

Davis Subject: RE: GLO City of La Porte - Little Cedar Bayou: impacts, etc. (#9006) Todd, Responses to the questions below: 1) outside of SWCA scope 2) 0.02 acre, consisting of 0.004 forested and 0.017 emergent wetlands impacted, as determined by the .dwg file provided by B&B 3) 0.02 acre of wetlands within the project area, as determined by the .dwg file provided by B&B 4) outside of SWCA scope 5) wetland and stream impacts will be mitigated as determined necessary through final assessment of respective functions. In regards to the cemetery: Assuming all project impacts are limited to the area indicated in the .dwg file provided B&B, SWCA does not foresee any impacts to the cemetery. However, any USACE permitting will come with a condition that any unanticipated discoveries are immediately reported to the respective agencies and that work halt until the issue is resolved. Additionally, I think the acreages above should be confirmed by B&B using the data we provided. SWCA can only assume what will -be impacted by construction using the .dwg file provided.

Brook; Cole Konopka; Garza, Julian; emily@grantworks.net Subject: RE: GLO City of La Porte - Little Cedar Bayou: impacts, etc. (#9006) Hi, Todd. Have you had an opportunity to address my email in order for us to complete and submit the floodplain/wetland notice for publication? Please read the following excerpt from the EARLY floodplain/wetland notice (eventually, we will also need to submit a FINAL notice, which will require some more detail) and provide us with the missing information: This is to give notice that the City of La Porte has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management, to determine the potential affect that its activity in the floodplain and wetlands will have on the human environment for the Little Cedar Bayou Drainage project under the Disaster Recovery Program - DRS210231. The proposed project is to significantly increase the capacity of the drainage system and reduce flooding for the citizens of La Porte. HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDGB) Disaster Recovery funds will be used to widen the existing bayou and perform excavation of the existing drainage channel. Work will include relocating pipelines, applying concrete paving on side slopes, constructing concrete low -flow section, installing culverts, constructing an all-weather access road adjacent to the Bayou, and performing site work associated with the construction. The City will also acquire rights -of -way and property as needed to accommodate the flood and drainage improvements. The 100-year floodplain area was based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Floodplain Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel number 48201C0945L, revised June 18, 2007. The entire project is located within a 100- year floodplain zone and floodway. Impacts include _ acres in the Little Cedar Bayou floodplain/floodway. The cross-section and profile of the bayou will be restored to its existing elevations and contours after construction. Little Cedar Bayou, a jurisdictional water, contains a National Wetland Inventory (NWI) mapped area listed as palustrine forested, broad-leaved deciduous and seasonally flooded (PFO1C). A total of 0.02 acre of wetlands were delineated within the project area (SAME SPOT?? - Within the project area there is one delineated wetland subject to the jurisdiction of the USACE.?). There will be _O.02?_ acre of impacts to the wetland from the drainage improvements. The proposed project is located on the northern portion of Little Cedar Bayou, from West Madison Street to approximately 450 feet south of West Main (Spencer Highway), for a total of 2,500 feet, in La Porte, Galveston County, Texas. Typically, we put something that indicates how we're minimizing impacts within the floodplain. The sentence "The cross-section and profile of the bayou will be restored to its existing elevations and contours after construction." was from another project... (sort of a placeholder). Obviously doesn't apply here, but can you please provide us instead with a statement of how impacts would be minimized with this project? Also, please see below for additional information that hasn't been addressed in the EARLY notice, but we will still need. Thanks for your help! We appreciate it. 1 Esther From: Esther Rodriguez Sent: Wednesday, tune 05, 2013 To: tac(@binkleybarfield.com Cc: Amy M.

Activities will include removal of the existing roadway and soil to place the proposed 2" paving along the roadway intersections, excavation and compacting soil base for construction of the reinforced concrete low -flow section with concrete erosion control within 20 feet of the roadway concrete headwall. The proposed low -flow section will be 12' wide, 4' high and closely follow the existing profile of Merilyn Place ditch. Ground disturbance will also be required for sanitary sewer sleeving and domestic waterline adjustment, which will involve digging a trench from 4'-8' wide and from 2'-4' deep for adjustment. The trench will be then be backfilled. Lastly, there will be soil disturbance at the Berry Bayou outfall which will be reconstructed with rip -rap.
