required.)
2.The minutes from the meeting held February 12, 2013were reviewedand approved contingent upon
corrections consisting of 1) the meeting was called to order by Kenneth Slather, 2) typographical error in

meeting was for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 (not 2011).
3.David Mick presented the proposed FY 2014 budget for the authority noting that the FY 2014 budget total of
$1,138,431 is $57,329 (4.8%) less than the FY 2013 budget. The difference primarily was the $50,000
budgeted for legal expenses in FY 2013 due to the then on-going billing dispute with the City of Houston
related to the City of Houston services managing the Southeast Houston Water Purification Plant. The dispute
was resolved and the budget allocation for additional legal expenses is not necessary for FY 2014. Also the
City of Houston’s FY 2014 cost for the upcoming year is reducedslightly to just under $0.60/1000 gallons.
Questions from the board included an inquiry into the increase in budget line item 4002
Machinery/Tools/Equipment that increased from $3,500 in FY 2013 to $9,000 in FY 2014and a question
about an increase over the years in the Morgan’s Point demand capacity. David Mick explained that the
increase in line item 4002 was due to the need for additional maintenance and repair of valves and other
equipment at the take points for the member cities (La Porte, Shoreacres, and Morgan’s Point) and that the
increase in water demand capacity for Morgan’s Point was at Morgan’s Point’s request to serve the terminal
facility.
After some discussion, the FY 2014 budget for the La Porte Area Water Authority was unanimously approved
as presented with Doug Martin making the initial motion to accept and seconded by Kenneth Schlather.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors of
The La Porte Area Water Authority
La Porte, Texas
We have audited the accompanying basic financial statements of the La Porte Area Water Authority (the
“Authority”), a component unit of the City of La Porte, Texas as of and for the year ended September 30,
2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, as listed in the table of contents.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.

Draft 2-4-2014
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the Authority, as of September 30, 2013, and the respective changes in
financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the District adopted the provisions of GASB
Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources
and Net Position and GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities as of
September 30, 2013. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s
discussion and analysis on pages 4 through 7 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements.
Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the
basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied
certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management
about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with
management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we
obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any
assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to
express an opinion or provide any assurance.
The Texas Supplementary Information unless marked “unaudited” and the Schedule of Revenues and
Expenses – Budget and Actual – (Budgetary Basis), is the responsibility of management and was derived
from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements. The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial
statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the information is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

LA PORTE AREA WATER AUTHORITY
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
As management of the La Porte Area Water Authority, we offer readers of the Water Authority’s
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the Water Authority
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
Financial Highlights
The assets of the La Porte Area Water Authority exceeded its liabilities and deferred inflows of
resources at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $7,497,334 (net position). Of this amount,
$1,870,210, unrestricted net position, may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to
citizens and creditors in accordance with the Water Authority’s fund designation and fund policies.
The government’s total net position increased by $390,142.
The Water Authority’s total bonded debt decreased $642,360 by during the current fiscal year.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction of the Water Authority’s basic
financial statements. The La Porte Area Water Authority is considered a component unit of the City of
La Porte, Texas since the Water Authority provides approximately 86% of its services for the exclusive
benefit of the City of La Porte. The Water Authority’s basic financial statements are comprised of the
fund financial statements and notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Fund financial statements
– The operations of the Water Authority are recorded in a proprietary
(enterprise) fund. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources
that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The Water Authority, like other state and
local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal
requirements.
The statement of net position presents information on all the Water Authority’s assets, liabilities and
deferred inflows of resources, with the difference between the three reported as net position. Over time,
increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of
the Water Authority is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of revenues, expenses and changes in net position presents information showing how the
government’s net position changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported when
the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash
flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected receivables and accounts payable due to suppliers).
The fund financial statements can be found on pages 10-12 of this report.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis (continued)
Notes to the Financial Statements
– The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements
can be found on pages 13-19 of this report.
Other Information
– In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report
also presents certain supplementary information concerning the Water Authority’s operations. Required
supplementary information can be found on pages 23-36 of this report.
Financial Analysis of the Government’s Funds
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. In the case of the La Porte Area Water Authority, assets exceeded liabilities and deferred
inflows of resources by $7,497,334 at the close of the fiscal year.
The largest portion of the Water Authority’s net position ($4,479,964) reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g., water production and distribution system), less any related debt used to acquire those assets
that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide water services to the participants;
consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Water Authority’s
investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed
to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used
to liquidate these liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Creation of Authority
The La Porte Area Water Authority (the “Authority”) was created on May 30, 1981 by Chapter 729, Page
2678, Acts of the 67th Legislature of the State of Texas. This bill authorizes the Authority to purchase,
construct or otherwise acquire waterworks systems, sanitary sewer systems, storm sewer systems and
drainage facilities or parts of such systems of facilities and to operate and maintain such facilities. The
Authority is authorized to set rates for services related to the aforementioned systems and facilities, and issue
revenue bonds for the purpose of acquiring and maintaining such systems. The Authority comprises
approximately 20,600 acres in Harris County, Texas.
Note 2 -Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Authority conform with generally accepted accounting principles. The
following is a summary of the most significant policies:
A. Reporting Entity
Generally accepted accounting principles for local governments include those principles prescribed by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants in the publication entitled Audits of State and Local Governmental Units and by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (when applicable). GASB Statement 62, Codification of
Accounting and Financial Reporting Guidance Contained in Pre-November 30, 1989 FASB and AICPA
Pronouncements(“GASB 62”), which incorporates into the GASB’s authoritative literature certain
accounting and financial reporting guidance that is included in the following pronouncements issued on
or before November 30, 1989, which does not conflict or contradict GASB pronouncements: 1) Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations; 2) Accounting Principles Board
Opinions; 3) Accounting Research Bulletins of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants’
(AICPA) Committee on Accounting Procedure. Implementation of GASB 62 is reflected in the financial
statements and notes to the financial statements.
Consideration regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations or functions in the
Authority's financial reporting entity is based on criteria prescribed by generally accepted accounting
principles. These same criteria are evaluated in considering whether the Authority is a part of any other
governmental or other type of reporting entity. Criteria for determining component unit status under
generally accepted accounting principles included considerations pertaining to organizations for which the
primary government is financially accountable and considerations pertaining to other organizations for
which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion
would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.
The La Porte Area Water Authority is considered a component unit of the City of La Porte, Texas by virtue
of meeting the criteria noted above. The primary factor in determining component unit status is that the
Authority provides approximately 86% of its services for the exclusive benefit of the City of La Porte. The
Authority's financial operations are included as an Enterprise Fund in the City's Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report as a blended component unit. The City of La Porte is referred to as “Primary Government”
throughout the authority’s financial statements.

B. Fund Accounting
The operations of the Authority are recorded in an enterprise fund. Enterprise funds are used to account for
operations (a) that are financed primarily through user charges or (b) where the governing body has decided
that determination of net income is appropriate. The enterprise fund is a proprietary fund type.
C. Basis of Accounting
Enterprise Funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this
measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are presented on
the statement of net position is a classified format to distinguish between current and long-term assets and
liabilities. Net position is presented in three components: net investment in capital assets; restricted; and
unrestricted. Enterprise fund operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues), decreases (e.g.,
expenses) and changes in net position.
Enterprise funds are accounted for using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when
they are earned and expenses are recognized at the time liabilities are incurred.
D. Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Authority considers cash held in demand accounts and all
short-term investments with a maturity at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
E. Physical Facilities and Depreciation
Fixed assets, which consist of a water production and distribution system, are shown at original cost.
Interest paid during construction of facilities, if any, is also included in this cost. Depreciation has been
provided for the Authority's water production and distribution system using the straight-line method over a
30-year estimated useful life.
Note 3 - Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent the Authority’s equity interest in the City’s consolidated cash and
cash equivalents account consisting of demand accounts and short-term investments with a maturity at
date of purchase of three months or less. State statutes require that all funds in depository institutions be
covered by federal depository insurance and/or be secured in the manner provided by law for security of
funds. Cash and cash equivalent balances held by the City were entirely covered by federal depository
insurance or security as required at September 30, 2013.
At year end a portion of the Authority’s cash and temporary investments were restricted as follows:
Restricted for retirement of current debt service liabilities
and reserve requirements per bond covenants685,878$

Note 4 - Temporary Investments
Temporary investments represent the Authority’s equity interest in the City’s investment pool. At year end a
portion of the Authority’s cash and temporary investments were restricted as follow:
The carrying amount for temporary investments, at September 30, 2013, was $1,349,654, which is fair
value. This represents 7.72% of the City’s total portfolio.
Pooled investments with the City consist of obligations of the United States and its agencies and investment
pools in accordance with state statutes and the City’s investment policies. Securities are registered and held
by their agent in the City’s name. Interest earnings are allocated on a pro-rata basis. The investment pool is
not registered with the SEC or subject to any regulatory oversight. The fair value of the position in the pool
is the same as the value of pool shares. The City has adopted GASB Statement No. 31, which establishes
accounting and reporting standards for all of the City’s investments. In accordance with Statement No. 31,
the City reports all investments at fair value, except for “money market investments” and “2a7-like pools”.
Money market investments, which are short-term highly liquid debt instruments that may include U.S.
Treasury and agency obligations, are reported at amortized costs. Investment positions in external
investment pools that are operated in a manner consistent with the SEC’s Rule 2a7 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, such as TexPool and LOGIC, are reported using the pools’ share price.
Interest Rate Risk
The Authority’s investment policy specifies that the maximum stated maturity, from the date of purchase for
any individual investment may not exceed 5 years and the maximum dollar-weighted average maturity for
the pooled fund group may not exceed 2 years. At year end, the Authority’s dollar-weighted average
maturity of the investment portfolio was as follows:

Note 6 - Southeast Water Purification Plant
The Authority and the City of Houston, Texas have entered into a Cost Sharing Water Project Contract (the
“Contract”) wherein the Authority, the Cities of La Porte, Morgan's Point and Shoreacres agree to jointly
finance the construction and operation of the Southeast Water Purification Plant (Southeast Plant). Under
the terms of the Contract, the Authority purchased 4.2 million gallons per day production and 5.25 million
gallons per day pumping capacity. The Cities of La Porte, Morgan's Point and Shoreacres have agreed to
demand and pumping allocations of the Authority's purchase of water from the Southeast Plant.
The required funds for the undivided interest in the Southeast Plant and the construction of a transmission
and distribution system to transport water from the Southeast Plant were provided by issuance of $9.8
million revenue bonds.
The water rate to be set by the Authority will not be less than an amount sufficient to provide for payment of
all expenses in producing, treating and pumping the water in connection with transmission and distribution
systems and to provide payment for the interest and principal of all bonds when the bonds become due and
payable.
Note 7 - Contract Revenue Bonds Payable, Debt Service Requirements and Bond Resolution
Requirements
On May 13, 2010, the La Porte Area Water Authority issued $4.085 million in Contract Revenue Refunding
Bonds, Series 2010, with an average interest rate of 2.773% to purchase U.S. Government State and Local
Government Series securities that were placed in an irrevocable trust for the purpose of generating resources
for all future debt service payments of $2.95 million of unlimited tax bonds. As a result, the refunded bonds
are considered to be defeased and the liability has been removed from the statement of net position. The
bonds are payable from the net revenue of the Authority. The bonds are in $5,000 denominations. Interest is
payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year to maturity. The Authority is in compliance with all
significant requirements and restrictions contained in the bond resolution.

Note 8 - Fund Net Position
The Authority provides surface water to the City of La Porte, Texas (the “City”) and the Cities of Shoreacres
and Morgan's Point in order for these entities to comply with certain requirements imposed by the Harris
County Subsidence District. The City retains the rights to approximately 86% of the water capacity of the
Authority with the Cities of Shoreacres and Morgan's Point retaining the rights to the remaining 14%. The
City, Shoreacres and Morgan’s Point have agreed to service the debt on the Authority's contract revenue
bonds and to fund operations of the Authority in relation to their capacity rights and to purchase water based
on actual consumption.
As part of the debt service requirements, the participants are billed to build a reserve for future debt service
requirements as set forth in the contract revenue bonds of the Authority. During the year, the Authority's
billings were applied as follows:
Water Supplied and Operating costs( User fees)1,213,334$

assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters for which the Authority participates (through an
endorsement on the City of La Porte’s contract) along with other entities in the Texas Municipal League’s
Intergovernmental Risk Pool. The pool purchases commercial insurance at group rates for participants in the

Note 10 - Economic Dependency
The Authority receives all of its support from three municipalities, with the City of La Porte being the largest
contributor at approximately 86%. In addition, the Authority contracts with the City of La Porte to provide
administrative oversight and operate the Authority’s transmissions system.
Note 11 – Implementation of New GASB Standards
In June 2011, the GASB issued Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources,
Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position. This statement will improve financial reporting by
standardizing the presentation of deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources and their
effects on a government’s net position. The requirements of this statement are effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The District has implemented GASB No. 63 in
this annual report. In March 2012, the GASB issued Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets
and Liabilities. This statement will improve financial reporting by reclassifying certain items that were
previously reported as assets and liabilities as deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources
or as outflows or inflows of resources. The requirements of this statement are effective for financial
statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The District has implemented GASB No. 65 in
this annual report. The deferred inflows of resources element of the financial statements represent an
acquisition of net position that applies to future periods and will be not be recognized as an inflow of
resources until that time. The Authority’s deferred gain on refunding of $7,075 is the only item reported as
deferred inflows of resources.
Note 12 – Prior Period Adjustment
The Authority implemented GASB Statement 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities during
the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. In accordance with GASB 65, debt issuance costs should be
recognized as expenses in the period incurred. Previously, debt issuance cost were recorded as assets and
amortized over the life of the debt. The implementation of GASB 65 resulted in the following prior period
adjustment to the net position of the governmental activities:
Net position - beginning of the year:
As originally presented $7,156,249
