Jeff To: Wolny. Shelley; Bottoms, Ron; Barr. Stephen Cc: Dolby. Michael: Rinehart, Phyllis Subject: Outstanding FEMA projects Date: Tuesday, February 02, 2010 3:20:33 PM In order to satisfy FEMA guidelines, there are three projects that Parks needs to complete by March 13th. We do not want to file an extension. It "muddies" the waters for us. To date we have been paid: Sea Breeze Park: $15,397.83 Water Front Park: $5,847.93 Shore Rip Rap: $11,949.93 TOTAL: $33,195.69 for these outstanding projects The State has already paid us and it was deposited to the general fund. Parks will need this money to complete the remaining projects by the due date or we face scrutiny. My suggestion is we move this money to an account for them to satisfy these issues. With these projects completed our only outstanding item will be the pier. There is still money that we need to recoup from TML and I have asked Stephen and Scott to follow up with Heather to get an adjuster back out to review what they have completed. What say ye?

We received 5 responses in addition to a renewal proposal. The current carrier Unimerica is a United Health Care company. The City has had an average of two stop loss claims per contract year in past years. This year the City had two claimants hit the stop loss deductible. There are two potential large claimants for the coming stop loss year. Unimerica's initial renewal increase was 6.7%. During the Best and Final offer process we were able to negotiate the renewal increase down to 2.6% (approx. $12,928 annually). The incumbent, Unimerica now has the lowest premium for the correct coverage. Our recommendation is to stay with Unimerica. If the City decides to change their plan year to a January 1 effective date they can terminate the 12 month contract with 30 days notice or the City can renew with Unimerica for the 9 month contract in 2011. Unimerica still has the lowest premium for the nine month contract. Thank you for discussing the renewal and we look forward to answering questions at the upcoming City Council meeting.

This report is published to provide the City Council, City staff, our citizens, our bondholders and other interested parties with detailed information concerning the financial condition and activities of the City government. This report consists of management's representations concerning the finances of the City of La Porte. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented in this report. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed both to protect the government's assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of La Porte's financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City of La Porte's comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The City of La Porte's financial statements have been audited by Pattillo, Brown & Hill, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements of the City of La Porte for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amount and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City of La Porte's financial statements for fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as a component of the financial section of this report. 3 604 W. Fairmont Pkwy. • LaPorte, Texas 77571 • (281) 471-5020 The independent audit of the financial statements of the City of La Porte included a federally mandated "Single Audit" designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government's internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. These reports are available in the City of La Porte's separately issued Single Audit Report. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of La Porte's MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent auditors.

The city council is responsible, among other things, for passing ordinances, adopting the budget, appointing committees and hiring both the City Manager and Attorney. The City Manager is responsible for carrying out the policies and ordinances of the City Council, for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the City and for appointing the heads of various departments. The Council is elected on a non -partisan basis. The Mayor and Council members serve three-year staggered terms. Six of the council members are elected by district. The Mayor and the two remaining council members are elected at large. The City of La Porte provides a full range of services, including police and fire protection, the construction and maintenance of streets and other infrastructure and recreational activities and cultural events. Certain services are provided through a legally separate Water Authority, which functions, as a blended component unit and in essence, is a department of the City of La Porte, and, therefore, has been included as an integral part of the City of La Porte's financial statements. Additional information on the Water Authority and other blended component units can be found in Note 1.B. of the notes to the financial statements. The City's accounting records for general governmental operations are maintained on a modified accrual basis, with the revenues being recorded when available and measurable and expenditures being recorded when the services or goods are received and the liabilities are incurred. Accounting records for the City's utilities and other proprietary activities are maintained on the accrual basis. The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City of La Porte's financial planning and control. Budgetary control has been established at the fund level. All agencies of the City of La Porte are required to submit requests for appropriation to the City Manager on or before May 26 of each year. The City Manager uses these requests as the starting point for developing a proposed 4 budget. The City Manager then presents this proposed budget to council for review prior to August. The council is required to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget and to adopt a final budget by no later than September. The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function (e.g., public safety) and department (e.g., police). The directors are given latitude to approve transfers of appropriations within a department. Transfers of appropriations between funds, however require the special approval of the city council. Budget -to -actual comparisons are provided in financial reports for each individual governmental fund for which an appropriated annual budget has been adopted. For the general fund, this comparison is presented on page 79 as part of the required supplementary information. For governmental funds, other than the general fund, with appropriated annual budgets, this comparison is presented in the governmental fund subsection of this report, which starts on page 84. Factors Affecting Financial Condition The information presented in the financial statements is perhaps best understood when it is considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City of La Porte operates. Local economy. The City of La Porte is located in the southeast quadrant of Harris County, which is a 1,723 square mile county is a leading oil, gas and petrochemical areas. The County has more than 3,200 manufacturing plants, the nation's largest concentration of petrochemical plants, the third largest United States seaport and is a corporation management center. A significant part of the County's major employers, manufacturers, education and financial institutions are located in Houston, the County seat. The Texas Medical Center, located in Harris County, is one of the nation's largest, providing medical care and educational opportunities. The county's 64 hospitals have over 17,000 beds of which 4,600 are in the Texas Medical Center. Higher education facilities includes: University of Houston, Rice University, Texas Southern University, St. Thomas University and Houston Baptist College, all offering full four-year as well as postgraduate programs. The Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center is also located here. Located some 20 miles southeast of Houston on Galveston Bay in Harris County are the three communities that make up the La Porte Bayshore Area: La Porte, Morgan's Point and Shoreacres. The area has a combined population of approximately 40,000. Though much of the image of this area is industrial, the La Porte-Bayshore area is still characterized by an expanse of resort homes. Because of this, and the metropolitan advantages of Houston, La Porte is one of the few communities in the Gulf Coast area that offers this favorable combination. Future planning. The La Porte 2020 Comprehensive Plan is a 20-year master plan adopted by the City Council to guide policy decisions relating to the physical and economic development of the community. In general, the plan indicates how the community desires to develop and redevelop over the course of the next twenty years. The comprehensive plan is a physical plan; it is long- range, comprehensive and states the goals, objectives and policies of the local government. The comprehensive plan provides clear direction through specific statements of action to achieve the desired results envisioned by citizens and the leadership of the community. The essential objectives of the comprehensive plan are as follows: ❖ It is a plan to guide the future physical development and redevelopment of the community; ❖ The time frame is long, extending over a twenty-year horizon; ❖ It encompasses a large geographic area including the corporate limits and ETJ of the community; ❖ It is general in nature, allowing some issues to be resolved and many decisions to be made; ❖ It articulates ideas in a framework of goals and objectives, policies and actions, and plans and projects; ❖ It is intended foremost, to serve as a continuing guide to decision -making, to provide a common direction and to provide stability as issues are addressed and future decisions are made. Residential Development. Neighborhoods are one of La Porte's greatest assets as they form a foundation for a sound quality of life. The City is made up of several distinct neighborhood areas, each with somewhat different physical characteristics such as the age of housing, street configuration, and the sizes of structures and lots. Much of the City's overall image and identity is due to the unique character of its neighborhoods and these distinguishing features should, therefore, be preserved. Neighborhoods that are safe, well maintained and have character will maintain property values and thus maintain a sound neighborhood environment and a stable residential tax base. The attractive appearance and environmental quality of existing and future low -density residential neighborhoods should be protected and improvements made where necessary to maintain the value of properties and enhance the quality of life. As the city continues to develop it is important that the integrity of the neighborhoods is preserved and the value and enjoyment of property is maintained and enhanced. Goals for residential development: ❖ Consider programs to revitalize and rehabilitate existing housing where needed. ❖ Meet the future housing needs by providing for a variety of housing options. •:• Encourage the rehabilitation or replacement of substandard housing. ❖ Promote a standard of home ownership encouraging well -maintained residential properties. ❖ Preserve the integrity of existing neighborhoods and create livable and safe neighborhood environments. ❖ Protect the attractive appearance and environmental quality of existing neighborhoods and make necessary improvements to maintain the value of properties and enhance the quality of life. Beautification and Conservation. Citizens have expressed great interest for enhancing the visual appearance of La Porte and the redevelopment and reinvestment in Downtown, along major corridors and in nonresidential areas. Through public involvement it is apparent that citizens visualize attractive shopping centers, livable neighborhoods, landscaped roadways, pleasant places to walk and an enhanced quality of life. They want successful shopping areas that appeal to shoppers. They see the opportunities in downtown to create a destination that combines a lively entertainment district in a historically significant area, retail stores interspersed with restaurants and professional offices and a blend of residential units as well. 0 Goals for Beautification: ❖ Improve the community character to make it a more desirable place to live, work and visit. ❖ Improve the aesthetic visual environment through enhancement of site design, signage, roadways, parking areas, open space and landscaping. ❖ Invest in Downtown to establish a vibrant mix of places to work, live and visit, with shops, restaurants, entertainment and a variety of dwelling units. Redevelopment Strategy. Urban redevelopment efforts require cooperative action to encourage new and sustained private investment and to provide supporting rehabilitation of public infrastructure. A key part of the process is determining what strategic actions the community should take to achieve its redevelopment goals and objectives. Successful redevelopment will often require cooperation and coordination between agencies at different levels of government as well as non-profit community organizations. This should include coordination of physical improvements with social service programs, which aim to enhance the health and economic capacity of residents in targeted neighborhoods. Redevelopment Goals: ❖ Stabilize and improve the quality of neighborhoods and other areas in decline by attracting renewed private investment activity. ❖ Revitalize the City's historic downtown area. Cash management policies and practices. Cash temporarily idle during the year was invested in demand deposits and obligations of the U.S. Treasury. The maturities of the investments range from 30 days to 2 years, with an average maturity of 25.58 months. The average yield on investments was 1.38% for the government. Investment income includes appreciation in the fair value of investments. Increases in fair value during the current year, however, do not necessarily represent trends that will continue; nor is it always possible to realize such amounts, especially in the case of temporary changes in the fair value of investments that the City intends to hold to maturity. Pension and other post employment benefits. The City of La Porte is a member of a cost sharing multiple employer pension system administered by the State of Texas for its emergency services employees. The City of La Porte also provides pension benefits for its non emergency services employees. These benefits are provided through a state-wide plan managed by Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS). The City of La Porte has no obligation in connection with employee benefits offered through this plan beyond its annual contractual payment to TMRS. The City of La Porte also provides postretirement health and dental care benefits for certain retirees and their dependents. As of the end of the current fiscal year, there were 65 retired employees receiving these benefits. Additional information on the City of La Porte's pension arrangements and post employment benefits can be found in Notes 6 and 10 in the notes to the financial statements. Awards and Acknowledgements The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. This was the twenty-eighth consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, the City published an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report satisfied both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. In addition, the government also received the GFOA's Distinguished Budget Award for its annual budget document. In order to qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award, the government's budget document was judged to be proficient in several categories, including as a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device. The preparation of this report would not have been possible without the efficient and dedicated services of the entire staff of the finance and administration department. We would like to express our appreciation to all members of the department who assisted and contributed to the preparation of this report. Credit also must be given to the mayor and city council for their unfailing support for maintaining the highest standards of professionalism in the management of the City of La Porte's 2sficIly s itted, Ron Bottoms Mic ael G.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the City's management. Our responsibility is to express opinions 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 and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of La Porte, Texas, as of September 30, 2009, 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. 401 WEST HIGHWAY 6 ■ P.

We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

The introductory section, combining and individual fund statements and schedules and statistical tables are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining and individual fund statements and schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The introductory section and statistical tables have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on them. February 26, 2010 16 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2009 As management of the City of La Porte, we offer readers of the City's financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with additional information that we have furnished in our letter of transmittal, which can be found on pages 3-8 of this report. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • The assets of the City of La Porte exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $109,707,373 (net assets). Of this amount $19,310,982 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet the City's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors in accordance with the City's fund designation and fiscal policies and working capital requirements. • The City's total net assets increased by $7,761,918. This increase is due to capital acquisitions in the governmental type funds. • As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of La Porte's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $37,816,082. Of this amount, $34,856,359 (92%) is unreserved and available for use within the City's designation and policies and working capital requirements. • At the end of the current fiscal year, unreserved fund balance for the general fund was $13,395,364 approximately (45%) of the total general fund expenditures. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction of the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government -wide financial statements — The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private -sector business. The Statement of Net Assets presents information on all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net assets. Over time, increases or decreases in net assets may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net assets changed during the fiscal year. All changes in net assets 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 taxes and earned but unused compensated absences). Both of the government -wide financial statements report functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, health and sanitation and culture and recreation. The business -type activities of the City include the Water and Sewer Utilities, Airport, La Porte Area Water Authority, Sylvan Beach Convention Center and Bay Forest Golf Course operations. The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 27-31 of this report. 17 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2009 Fund financial statements - 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 City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance -related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into two categories - governmental funds and proprietary funds. Governmental funds - Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on current sources and uses of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government's near -term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government -wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government's near -term financing decisions. Both the governmental funds balance sheet and the governmental fund statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City maintains 20 governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for the General, 2007 Certificates of Obligation Bond, Grant and Capital Projects Fund, all of which are considered to be major funds. Data from the other 16 governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation called non -major. Individual fund data for each of these non -major governmental funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 27-37 of this report. Proprietary funds - The City maintains two types of proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. The City uses proprietary funds to account for its utilities, airport, water authority, convention center and golf course. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City's various functions. The City uses its internal service funds to account for its motor pool services, technology services and Insurance Fund. Because these services predominantly benefit governmental rather than business -type functions, they have been included within governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the Utility and La Porte Area Water Authority, Airport, Bay Forest Golf Course and Sylvan Beach Convention. All internal service funds are combined into a single aggregated presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 38-43 of this report. Notes to the Financial Statements - The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found on pages 45-75 of this report. 18 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Management's Discussion and Analysis For the Year Ended September 30, 2009 Other Information - In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning the City's progress in funding its obligation to provide pension benefits to its employees. Required supplementary information can be found on pages 77-81 of this report. The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental funds and internal service funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information for the general fund. Combining fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 82-111 of this report. GOVERNMENT -WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted earlier, net assets may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government's financial position. In the case of the City of La Porte, assets exceeded liabilities by $109,707,373 at the close of the fiscal year. By far the largest portion of the City's net assets ($72,873,831) reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, machinery, equipment, improvements, construction in progress and infrastructure), less any related debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the City'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. City of La Porte's Net Assets Governmental Business -Type Activities Activities 2009 2008 2009 2008 Current and other assets $ 53,527,689 $ 60,577,388 $ 5,672,420 $ 7,766,710 Capital assets 62,533,458 51,131,865 46,648,862 42,818,003 Total Assets 116,061,147 111,709,253 52,321,282 50,584,713 Long term liabilities 43,417,622 42,799,774 7,165,771 7,744,081 Other liabilities 6,967,959 8,434,625 1,123,704 1,370,028 Total Liabilities 50,385,581 51,234,399 8,289,475 9,114,109 Net Assets: Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 32,667,469 24,922,673 40,206,362 35,483,003 Restricted 16,169,693 16,566,966 1,352,867 2,188,240 Unrestricted 16,838,404 18,985,215 2,472,578 3,799,361 Total Net Assets $ 65,675,566 $ 60,474,854 $ 44,031,807 $ 41,470,604 Total 2009 2008 $ 59,200,109 109,182,320 $ 68,344,098 93,949,868 168,382,429 162,293,966 50,583,393 8,091,663 50,543,855 9,804,653 58,675,056 60,348,508 72,873,831 17,522,560 19,310,982 60,405,676 18,755,206 22,784,576 $ 109,707,373 $ 101,945,458 An additional portion of the City's net assets $17,522,560 (16%) represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of unrestricted net assets of $19,310,982 (18%) may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.

Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unreserved fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the City of La Porte's governmental funds reported combined ending fund balances of $37,816,082. Approximately 92% of this total amount ($34,856,359) constitutes unreserved fund balance. The remainder of the fund balance is reserved to indicate that it is not available for new spending because it has already been committed 1) to pay for encumbrances ($257,150), 2) to provide for inventories ($102,203), 3) to pay for debt service ($2,151,483), 4) to provide for municipal court building security ($129,075), 5) to provide for municipal court technology ($15,182), 6) to provide for park zone ($135,868), and 7) to provide for confiscated funds ($137,819, 8) to provide for animal control ($1,412 ), 9) to provide for judicial fund ($12,064). The actual General Fund fund balance decrease for fiscal year 2009 was ($353,949) which is $1.8 million better than originally projected since revenues were $1.38 million higher than projected and expenditures were less than budget. The 2007 Certificate of Obligation Fund balance decreased by ($3,167,681)due to expenditures of bond proceeds in the current fiscal year. The Grant Fund balance decreased by ($406,026) due to the expenditure of grant funds for capital items. The Capital Projects Fund balance increased by $2,960,329 due to interfund transfers for construction of capital projects. Other governmental fund balances decreased in 2009 by ($4,444,988) due to decreased revenues and increased spending for capital projects. Proprietary funds — The City's proprietary fund statements provide the same type of information found in the government -wide financial statements, but in more detail. Unrestricted net assets of the respective proprietary funds are Utility-$755,662 , Airport - $299,779 , La Porte Area Water Authority - $1,621,835, Sylvan Beach Convention Center - $198,829 , and Bay Forest Golf Course — ($403,527). The change (decrease) in net assets of the proprietary funds in 2009 was as follows: Utility - $2,737,837 , which increased due to capital contributions, Airport -($126,984), which decreased, La Porte Area Water Authority-$233,047, which increased due to capital contributions, Sylvan Beach Convention Center - $1,229, which has closed due to hurricane damage and Bay Forest Golf Course-($283,923), which decreased. General Fund Budgetary Highlights — The City made revisions to the original appropriations approved by the City Council. Overall these changes resulted in an increase from the original budget of ($105,660) or -0.4% . The City increased its anticipated revenues by $1.0 million. This revenue included an upturn in industrial district payments, property tax and fines and forfeitures. Variances noted in the general fund are due to City Council appropriating additional capital projects, increased spending for public safety projects, salary savings and anticipated lease of property.

This compares to the state's average unemployment rate of 8.2 percent which is less than the national average rate of 9.8 percent. During the upcoming year, the City will closely monitor the volatility in the housing market. Although our area has not been adversely affected by home foreclosures, we will observe economic changes due to the recession. Total assessed property value for all residential and commercial property in the City of La Porte exceeded $2.0 billion for fiscal year 2009. The trend for total assessed property values has been steadily increasing each year with an average annual increase of 7 percent over the past 5 years. However, in the upcoming fiscal year, we anticipate that residential and commercial values will remain flat. Sales tax receipts have decreased 3% this fiscal year due to a decrease in economic activity. This revenue source is the most volatile and subject to decline if an economic slowdown occurs. 2. 0.

total governmental funds Capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported in this fund financial statement, but are reported in the governmental activities of the statement of net assets. Deferred contributions are not current financial resources, therefore are not reported in the funds. Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds Unavailable revenues Interest payable on long-term debt does not require current financial resources. Therefore, interest payable is not recorded as a liability in governmental funds balance sheets. The assets and liabilities of certain internal service funds are not included in the fund financial statement, but are included in the governmental activities of the statement of net assets. Some liabilities, (such as notes payable, capital lease contract payable, long-term compensated absences and bonds payable), are not due and payable in the current period and are not included in the fund financial statement, but are included in the governmental activities of the statement of net assets: Bonds payable Premium on issuance Compensated absences Bond issuance costs Arbitrage Net OPEB obligation Net pension obligation Retainage payable Net assets of governmental activities See accompanying notes to basic financial statements. 33 $ 37, 816, 082 57,694,066 371,718 1,940,965 (54, 636) 10,600,139 (37,635,000) (302,015) (2,860,604) 621,343 (304,474) (1,554,831) (554, 740) (102,447) $ 65,675,566 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances Governmental Funds For The Year Ended September 30, 2009 REVENUES Property taxes Franchise taxes Sales taxes Industrial payments Other taxes Licenses and permits Fines and forfeits Charges for services Intergovernmental Interest Miscellaneous Total revenues EXPENDITURES Current: General government Public safety Public works Health and sanitation Culture and recreation Debt service: Principal retirements Interest and fiscal charges Capital outlay Total expenditures Excess (deficiency) of revenues over expenditures OTHER FINANCING SOURCES (USES) Transfers in Transfers out Proceeds from sale of assets Total other financing sources (uses) General $ 13,436,413 2,160,425 2,958,648 10,292,030 91,187 641,614 1,668, 364 4,139,264 1,980 274,383 50,577 35,714,885 2007 Certificate of Obligation Bonds 37,880 37,880 Grant 164,206 13,611 4,866,333 3,109 47,961 5,095,220 7,166,624 - 296,878 12, 886, 570 - 721,659 2,620,919 - 3,920,201 2,087,069 - - 3,656, 961 - 50,030 1,169, 540 29,587,683 2,731,053 2,731,053 6,127,202 (2,693,173) 761,086 (7,378,796) 136,559 (6,481,151) Net change in fund balances (353,949) Fund balances —beginning 13,947,978 Fund balances ending $ 13,594,029 See accompanying notes to basic financial statements. 34 (474, 508) (474, 508) (3,167,681) 4,969,116 $ 1,801,435 491,902 5,480,670 (385,450) 550 (21,126) (20, 576) (406, 026) 1,621,894 $ 1,215,868 Capital Proiects 4,610 110,459 3,183 118,252 343,799 110,262 8,677,899 9,131, 960 Other Total Governmental Governmental Funds Funds $ 2,990,578 2,218,992 262,842 518,578 312,437 184,439 3,500 6,491, 366 2,061,858 250,311 122,419 1,695,000 1,572,212 2,486,504 8,188, 304 $ 16,426,991 2,160,425 5,177,640 10, 554, 872 609,765 641,614 1,832,570 4,469,922 4,868,313 610,270 105,221 47,457,603 9,869,159 13,858,540 6,663,539 2,087,069 3,817,253 1,695,000 1,572,212 15,556,898 55,119,670 (9,013,708) (1,696,938) (7,662,067) 12, 017, 037 (43, 000) 11, 974, 037 2,960,329 5,720,814 $ 8,681,143 1,453,222 (4,201,272) (2,748,050) (4,444,988) 16,968,595 $ 12,523,607 14,231,895 (12,118,702) 136,559 2,249,752 (5,412,315) 43,228,397 $ 37,816,082 35 !" 36 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities For The Year Ended September 30, 2009 Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because: Net change in fund balances —total governmental funds: $ (5,412,315) Governmental funds report outlays for capital assets as expenditures because such outlays use current financial resources. In contrast, the statement of activities reports only a portion of the outlay as expense. The outlay is allocated over the assets' estimated useful lives as depreciation expense for the period. This is the amount by which governmental activity capital outlays $15,556,898 exceeded depreciation $3,066,878 and losses of $318,412 from the disposition of capital assets in the current period. 12,171,608 Governmental funds report expenditures for costs of assets under construction that will be contributed to another entity. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets will be expensed when the completed asset is transferred. 371,718 Governmental funds report capital outlay expenditures for costs of assets constructed that will be contributed to a proprietary fund. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets were reclassified as a transfer to business -type activities. (3,329,143) Contributions of capital assets don't provide current financial resources, therefore, are not reported in the governmental funds. However, in the statement of activities, the contributions are reported as revenues. 1,259,614 Governmental funds do not present revenues that are not available to pay current obligations. In contrast, such revenues are reported in the statement of activities when earned. 362,060 Governmental funds report bond proceeds as current financial resources. In contrast, the statement of activities treats such issuance of debt as a liability. Governmental funds report repayment of bond principal as an expenditure. In contrast, the statement of activities treats such repayments as a reduction in long-term liabilities. This is the amount by which proceeds exceeded repayments. 1,695,000 Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and these are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds: Accrued interest not reflected in governmental funds 2,722 Additional compensated absences not reflected in governmental funds (110,578) Amortization of bond issuance costs 30,451 Amortization of premium on bonds 11,998 Net OPEB obligation (1,554,831) Net pension obligation (554,740) Retainage payable (102,447) Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain activities, such as fleet maintenance and information technology, to individual funds.

Summary of significant accounting policies A. General Statement The City of La Porte, Texas (the "City"), was incorporated on August 10, 1892, and operates under a "Council — Manager" form of government and provides the following services as authorized by its charter: public safety, development services, public health and welfare, culture and recreation and waterworks. The accounting and reporting policies of the City relating to the funds included in the accompanying basic financial statements conform to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) applicable to state and local governments which include those principles prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The more significant accounting policies of the City are described below. B. Financial Reportinq Enti The City's basic financial statements include the accounts of all City operations. The City, with its elected governing body of mayor and eight council members, is considered a primary government. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the basic financial statements include the City and its component units, entities for which the government is considered to be financially accountable. Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the government's operations. All component units have been included as blended component units because of the significance of their operational and financial relationships with the City. The La Porte Area Water Authority (the "Authority") is governed by a five -member board appointed by the City Council. Although it is a legally separate entity, the Authority provides services almost exclusively for the City's water operations, and is in substance a part of the City's primary operations. The Authority was created by the City to finance the operations involved in obtaining surface water supplies and converting these supplies to potable water. This water is sold primarily to the City of La Porte (86%) with the remainder being sold to other neighboring political subdivisions. The operations of the Authority are reported as a proprietary fund type. The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone One (the "Zone") is governed by a nine -member board appointed by the City Council. The Zone provides benefits exclusively for the City through reinvestment financing of ad valorem taxes, which are utilized for capital improvements for the City of La Porte. The Zone is presented as a governmental fund type. The Section 4B Sales Tax corporation provides services that exclusively benefit the City of La Porte and is governed by a seven -member board appointed by City Council. The Section 4B Sales Tax Corporation is presented as a governmental fund type. Complete financial statements for each of the individual component units may be obtained through the City of La Porte. C. Basis of Presentation Government Wide Statements: The government -wide financial statements (i.e. the statement of net assets and the statement activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City, including the component units. As a general rule the effect of interfund activity has been removed from these statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments reasonably equivalent in value to the interfund services provided and other charges between the City's various functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues reported for the various functions concerned. Governmental activities, which are normally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely significantly on fees and charges for support. 45 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 1. Summary of significant accounting policies — Continued 0. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given program or function is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific program or function. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services,or privileges provideg by a given program or function and 2) operating or capital grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program or function. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. The accounts of the City are organized on the basis of funds each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. The operations of each fund are accounted for with a separate set of self -balancing accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. Government resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds based on the purposes for which they are to be spent and the means by which spending activities are controlled. Individual funds summarized in the accompanying financial statements are classified below. Fund Financial Statements: The City segregates transactions related to certain functions or activities in separate funds in order to aid financial management and to demonstrate legal compliance. Separate statements are presented for governmental and proprietary activities. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions typically are financed. The measurement focus of governmental funds is on the sources, uses and balance of current financial resources. The City has presented the following major governmental funds: (a) General Fund — is the main operating fund of the City. This fund is used to account for all financial resources not accounted for in other funds. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not restricted by law or contractual agreement to some other fund are accounted for in this fund. General operating expenditures, fixed charges and capital improvement costs that are not paid through other funds are paid from the General Fund. (b) 2007 Certificate of Obligation Fund — This fund is used to fund is used to account for the proceeds and expenditures related to wastewater treatment plan, ball fields and golf course cart path repair. (c) Grant Fund — This Fund is used to account for funds received from another government or organization to be used for a specific purpose activity or facility. (d) Capital Projects Fund- This fund is used to account for capital projects that are normally small in nature and generally effect the general operation of the city. M CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 1. Summary of significant accounting policies — Continued Proprietary Funds are accounted for using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The accounting objectives are determinations of net income, financial position and cash flow. All assets and liabilities are included on the Statement of Net Assets. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non -operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. Operating expenses for the proprietary funds include the cost of personal and contractual services, supplies and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as non -operating revenues and expenses. The City reports the following major proprietary funds: (a) Utility Fund — is used to account for the provision of water and sewer services to the residents of the City. All activities necessary to provide such services are accounted for in this fund, including, but not limited to administration, operations and maintenance of the water and sewer system and billing and collection activities. The fund also accounts for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of, long-term debt principal and interest for water and sewer debt. All costs are financed through charges to utility customers with rates reviewed regularly and adjusted if necessary to ensure integrity of the fund. (b) La Porte Area Water Authority Fund — is used to account for revenues and expenses related to obtaining raw surface water and converting it to potable water to be sold to La Porte and neighboring cities. Additionally, the City reports the Internal Service Funds which are used to account for the Motor Pool, Technology and Insurance services provided to other departments of the City on a cost reimbursement basis. D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accountin Measurement focus refers to what is being measured; basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing of the measurement made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The government -wide financial statements and fund financial statements for proprietary funds are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. The economic resources measurement focus means all assets and liabilities (whether current or non -current) are included on the statement of net assets. The operating statements present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in net total assets. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when they are earned. Expenses are recognized at the time the liability is incurred. Unbilled water and wastewater utility service receivables are accrued as revenues and reflected in the financial statements. Private sector standards of accounting and financial reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989, generally are followed in both the government wide and proprietary fund financial statements to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The city has the option of following subsequent private sector guidance for business type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The city has elected not to follow subsequent private sector guidance. 47 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 1. Summary of significant accounting policies — Continued Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual; i.e., when they become both measurable and available. "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the current fiscal period. Most revenue sources are recorded as revenues when received in cash because they are generally not measurable until actually received. The revenues susceptible to accrual are property taxes, sales taxes, hotel taxes, franchise fees, interest income and intergovernmental revenues. A one-year availability period is used for recognition of all other Governmental Fund revenues. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences are recorded only when payment is due. E. Budgetary Information Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the general, special revenue funds and debt service funds. All annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end. Project length financial plans are adopted for all capital projects funds and are revised annually. The City uses the following procedures in establishing the budgets reflected in the financial statements: 1. Prior to August, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing on the following October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. 2. A public hearing is conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. 3. Prior to September 30, the budget is legally enacted through passage of an ordinance. 4. The City Manager must approve changes within a fund, which is the legal level of control. City Council approves changes between departments as well as amendments to the budget during the year as may be required. 5. Formal budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for the General Fund and Proprietary Funds. Formal budgetary integration is not employed for the Debt Service Fund and Capital Projects Funds because effective budgetary control is alternatively achieved through bond indenture provisions and legally binding construction contracts, respectively. 6. The budget for the General Fund and Special Revenue Funds are adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP. Budgets for the Proprietary Funds are utilized for planning, control and evaluation purposes. They are adopted on a basis consistent with GAAP except that bond principal payments and capital asset acquisitions are treated as expenditures. 7. Budgeted amounts are amended by the City Council during the year. Individual amendments were not material in relation to the original appropriations, which were amended. Encumbrances represent commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services. Encumbrance accounting — under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of resources are recorded to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation — is utilized in the governmental funds throughout the year. Encumbered amounts lapse at year-end. However, encumbrances generally are reappropriated as part of the following year's budget. 48 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 1. Summary of significant accounting policies - Continued F. Cash and Investments Cash includes amounts in demand deposits, short-term investments, which mature within ninety days of the fiscal year end, and various petty cash funds. The short-term investments are stated at cost or amortized cost, which approximate fair value. The short-term investments consist of U.S. Treasury Bills and deposits in the Texas Local Government Investment Pool (TexPool), the Local Government Investment Cooperative (LOGIC) and Texas Short Term Asset Reserve Program (TexStar) all of which have the general characteristics of a demand deposit account. For purpose of the statement of cash flows, Proprietary Fund types consider temporary investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. In accordance with Statement No. 31, the City reports all investments at fair value, except for "money market investments" and "20-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, LOGIC and TexStar are reported using the pools' share price. G. Receivables Receivables as of year-end of the government's individual major and non -major funds and internal service funds, including the applicable allowances for uncollectible accounts, are as follows: Fund Taxes Interest Other Accounts Total General $ 1,852,287 $ 9,512 $ - $2,569,014 $4,430,813 2007 C.O. - 116 - - 116 Grant - 134 - - 134 Capital Projects - 5,958 - - 5,958 Nonmajor governmental 519,646 5,004 - - 524,650 Utility - 1,259 - 799,182 800,441 La Porte Area Water Authority - 1,380 - 158,323 159,703 Nonmajor enterprise - 246 - 9,027 9,273 Internal service funds - 3,722 120,323 - 124,045 Gross Receivables 2,371,933 27,331 120,323 3,535,546 6,055,133 Less: allowance for uncollectibles (680,022) - - (719,073) (1,399,095) Net total receivables $1,691,911 $ 27,331 $120,323 $ 2,816,473 $ 4,656,038 49 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 1. Summary of significant accounting policies — Continued Governmental funds reported unearned revenue in connection with receivables for revenues that are not considered to be available to liquidate liabilities of the current period. Revenue recognition is also deferred in connection with resources that have been received, but not yet earned in the proprietary funds. At the end of the current fiscal year, the various components of deferred revenue and unearned revenue reported in the governmental and proprietary funds were as follows: Unavailable Unearned Nonmajor Internal General Governmental General Grant Service Total Delinquent property taxes receivable $ 307,630 $ 42,851 $ $ $ $ 350,481 Court fines 174,049 - - - 174,049 Emergency medical services 1,042,559 1,042,559 Mowing and demolition services 352,179 - - 352,179 Intergovernmental services - - 112,344 - 112,344 Grant revenues - - 1,203 1,203.00 Miscellanous 21,697 - - - 321 22,018 Total deferred / unearned revenue $ 1,898,114 $ 42,851 $ 112,344 $ 1,203 $ 321 $ 2,054,833 H. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues, expenditures, and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. I. Indirect Expense Allocations It is the policy of the City not to allocate indirect expenses to various functions in the Government -wide Statement of Activities. J. Restricted Assets The City applies restricted resources when an expense is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available. K. Inventories Inventories consist of material and supplies and are valued at cost (first -in, first -out). Inventories for all funds consist of expendable supplies held for consumption and the cost thereof is recorded as an expenditure at the time individual inventory items are issued. Reported inventories in the Governmental Funds are offset by a fund balance reserve, which indicates they are unavailable for appropriation even though they are a component of net current assets. L. Deferred Contributions Deferred contributions include the construction of an asset within the City that will be contributed upon completion to another governmental entity. Upon completion of the project, this asset will be transferred to another governmental entity. M. Interfund Transactions Transactions between funds that would be treated as revenues, expenditures or expenses if they involved organizations external to the governmental unit are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses in 50 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 1. Summary of significant accounting policies — Continued the funds involved. Transactions, which constitute reimbursement to a fund for expenditures or expenses initially made from that fund, which are properly attributable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures or expenses in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of the expenditure or expense in the fund that is reimbursed. All other legally authorized transfers are treated as transfers and are included in the results of operations of both Governmental and Proprietary Funds. N. Capital Assets Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets, are reported in the applicable governmental or business -type activities columns in the government -wide financial statements and in the fund financial statements for proprietary funds. Capital assets are defined by the government as assets with an initial unit cost of $5,000 or more and an estimated useful life exceeding two years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated capital assets are recorded at their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance that do not add to the value of the asset or extend assets lives are recorded as expenses. Interest cost during construction is capitalized when the effect of capitalization materially impact the financial statements. During the year ended September 30, 2009, no interest costs were capitalized. Property, plant and equipment of the primary government, as well as the component units, are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 20 years Water and Sewer System 20 — 40 years Infrastructure 20 — 30 years Machinery and Equipment 4 —10 years Improvements 20 years O. Compensated Absences The City's employees earn vacation and sick leave, which may either be taken or accumulated, up to certain amounts, until paid upon termination or retirement. For all funds, this liability reflects amounts attributable to cumulative employee services already rendered, where the payment is probable and can be reasonably estimated. The current and long-term portions of the governmental fund type liabilities are recorded in the Government -Wide Statement of Net Assets. The proprietary fund type liability is recorded as a liability in the individual proprietary funds since payment of this liability will be made from resources of these funds. Also, for the governmental activities, compensated absences are generally liquidated by the general fund. Policies relating to the accrual and payment of these benefits are as follows: ■ Vacation — Employees earn from 10 to 25 days of vacation per year. Upon separation, employees are paid for all accumulated vacation leave (up to one and one half times their annual accrual rate). ■ Sick Leave — Full time 8 hour employees accrue 3.70 hours per pay period. Full time 24 hour employees accrue 5.91 hours per pay period and civil service employees accrue 15 days per calendar year. The maximum sick leave time which may be accumulated by any employee shall be 90 days for regular full time employees. For 24 hour shift personnel, the maximum accrual is 1,152 hours. Civil service employees may accrue unlimited sick leave. 51 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 1. Summary of significant accounting policies — Continued The liability for compensated absences at September 30, 2009 is comprised of the following: Governmental Business Type Total Vacation $ 964,190 $ 155,668 $1,119,858 Sick Leave 1,999,925 214,920 2,214,845 Total All Funds $ 2,964,115 $ 370,588 $3,334,703 P. Lona-term Obliaations In the government -wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business -type activities or proprietary fund type statement of net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service expenditures. Q. Reservations of Fund Balances The fund balance reserves for revenue bond retirement and construction, inventory and debt service are discussed in Notes 5 and 1(K), respectively. Other reserves of funds are for the Municipal Court Building Security Fees and Municipal Court Technology Fees, park zone, confiscated funds, animal control and judicial fund. R. Net Assets Net assets represent the difference between assets and liabilities. Net assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt consists of capital assets, net of accumulated depreciations, reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowing used for the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets and adding back unspent proceeds. Net assets are reported as restricted when there are limitations imposed on their use either through the enabling legislations adopted by the city or through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or regulations of other governments. 2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash and Cash Eauivalents The City reports cash and cash equivalents in the City's statement of cash flows for Proprietary Fund Types and in all other financial statements of financial position. The City considers cash and cash equivalents to be cash on hand, demand deposits, certificates of deposit, balances in privately managed public funds investment pools and money market mutual funds. Investments Investments consist of balances in privately managed public funds investment pools, money market mutual funds and investments in United States (US) Agency securities. The City reports all investments at fair value based on quoted market prices at year-end date. The Texas Public Funds Investment Act (PFIA), as prescribed in Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code, regulates deposits and investment transactions of the City. 52 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments - Continued In accordance with applicable statutes, the City has a depository contract with an area bank (depository) providing for interest rates to be earned on deposited funds and for banking charges the City incurs for banking services received. The City may place funds with the depository in interest and non -interest bearing accounts. Statutes and the depository contract require full security for all funds in the depository institution through federal depository insurance or a combination of federal depository insurance and acceptable collateral securities and/or an acceptable surety bond. The City requires the depository to place the collateral securities with an independent trustee institution. The depository is required to deliver the safekeeping receipts to the City. In accordance with Texas statutes, the safekeeping receipts are in the name of the depository with proper indication of pledge of the collateral securities by the depository to secure funds of the City. The City must approve all collateral securities pledged and also must approve in writing any changes to the pledged collateral securities. The City has adopted a written investment policy regarding the investment of its funds as defined by the PFIA. The PFIA also requires the City to have independent auditors perform test procedures related to investment practices as provided by the Act.

Property tax The appraisal of property within the City is the responsibility of the Harris County Appraisal District (the "Appraisal District"). The Appraisal District is required under the Property Tax Code to appraise all property within the county on the basis of 100% of its market value. The value of real property within the Appraisal District must be reviewed every five years; however, the City may, at its own expense, require annual reviews of appraised values. The City may challenge appraised values established by the Appraisal District through various appeals and, if necessary, take legal action. Under this legislation, the City continues to set tax rates on City property. However, if the effective tax rate, excluding tax rates for repayment of general obligation bonds and other contractual obligations, adjusted for new improvements, exceeds the rate for the previous year by more than 8 percent, qualified voters of the City may petition for an election to determine whether to limit the tax rate to no more than 8 percent above the effective tax rate. The City's property taxes are levied annually in October on the basis of the Appraisal District's assessed values as of January 1 of that calendar year. Appraised values are established by the Appraisal District at market value, assessed at 100% of appraised value and certified by the Harris County Appraisal District Board of Review. The City's property taxes are billed and collected by the City's Tax Assessor/Collector. Such taxes are applicable to the fiscal year in which they are levied and become delinquent with an enforceable lien on property on January 1 of the current calendar year. The City is permitted, by Article XI, Section 5, of the State of Texas Constitution and the City Charter, to levy property taxes up to $2.50 per $100 of assessed valuation for general governmental services. Within the $2.50 maximum levy, there is no legal limit upon the amount of property taxes, which can be levied for debt service. The property tax rates to finance general governmental services and debt service for the 2008-09 tax year were $0.612 and $0.098, respectively, per $100 of assessed valuation. The 2009 assessed value and total tax levy as adjusted through September 30, 2009 were $2,204,920,061 and $15,654,937 respectively. The City has enacted an ordinance providing for the exemption of twenty percent (20%) of the assessed value of residential homesteads plus and additional $60,000 for persons 65 years of age or older for property taxes. An exemption of $60,000 is allowed for disabled persons on homesteads and up to $12,000 is allowed for disabled veterans on any one piece of property.

General Obligations Bonds and Certificates of Obligation require the City to compute, at the time other taxes are levied, the rate of tax required to provide (in each years bonds are outstanding) a fund to pay interest and principal at maturity. The City is in compliance with this requirement. Arbitrage provisions of the Internal Revenue Tax Act of 1986 require the City to rebate excess arbitrage earnings from bond proceeds to the federal government. Although the city has not incurred any liability for arbitrage, an allowance has been created as a safe harbor in anticipation of future rebate calculations. As provided for by the bond indentures, this amount has been recorded as a liability in the governmental activities for the benefit of the federal government and will be paid as required by applicable regulations. Certain General Obligation Bonds and Certificate of Obligations Bonds are to be repaid by revenues of the proprietary funds. Also, for the governmental activities, compensated absences are generally liquidated by the general fund and for business -type, compensated absences are paid from the utility fund. 61 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 5. Long Term Liabilities - Continued Revenue Bonds - Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds constitute special obligations of the City solely secured by a lien on and pledge of the net revenues of the water and sewer system. The Revenue Bonds are collateralized by the revenue of the water and sewer system and the various special funds established by the bond ordinances. The ordinances provide that the revenue of the system is to be used first to pay operating and maintenance expenses of the system and second to establish and maintain the Revenue Bond funds. Remaining revenues may then be used for any lawful purpose. The ordinances also contain provisions, which, among other items, restrict the issuance of additional Revenue Bonds unless the special funds noted above contain the required amounts and certain financial ratios are met. The City is in compliance with all significant financial requirements as of September 30, 2009.

Defeased Bonds Outstanding — In 1994, the City defeased certain general obligation and revenue bonds by placing the proceeds of the new bonds in an irrevocable trust to provide for all future debt service payments on the old bonds. Accordingly, the trust account assets and the liability for the defeased bonds are not included in the City's financial statements. On October 6, 1999, the La Porte Area Water Authority issued $8.08 million in Contract Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1999, with an average interest rate of 5.159 percent to refund $8.08 million in outstanding Water Supply Contract Revenue Bonds, Series I and II, 1998 with an average interest rate of 6.94 percent. The Authority completed the current refunding to reduce its total debt service payments over the next 18 years by $1.476 million and to obtain an economic gain (difference between the present values of the old and new debt service payments) of $1.048 million. The bonds are payable from the net revenues of the Authority. The bonds are in $5,000 denominations. The Authority is in compliance with all significant requirements and restrictions contained in the bond resolution. As of September 30, 2009, $3,475,000 of the refunded bonds has been paid and $4,605,000 remain outstanding. 6. Pension Benefits Plan Descriptions The City provides pension benefits for all of its eligible employees, except firefighters, through a non- traditional, joint contributory, hybrid defined benefit plan (the "Plan") in the statewide Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), an agent multiple -employer public employee retirement system. The plan provisions that have been adopted by the City are within the options available in the governing state statutes of TMRS. TMRS issue a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information (RSI) for TMRS; the report provides detailed explanation of the contributions, benefits and actuarial methods and assumptions used by the system. This report may be obtained by writing to TMRS, P.O. Box 149153, Austin, Texas 78714-9153 or by calling 800-924-8677; in addition, the report is available on TMRS' website at www.TMRS.com. In addition, the city provides pension benefits to its volunteer firemen through the Texas Statewide Emergency Services Personnel Retirement Fund, one of 150 administered by the Fire Fighters' Pension Commissioner, a cost sharing multiple employer pension system. That report may be obtained by writing to Firefighters Pension Commission, P.O. Box 12577, Austin, Texas 78711. Both Plans are more fully described below. Texas Municipal Retirement System The plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing TMRS. Benefits depend upon the sum of the employee's contributions to the Plan, with interest, and the City financed monetary credits, with interest. At the date the Plan began, the city granted monetary credits for service rendered before the Plan began of a theoretical amount equal to two times what would have been contributed by the employee, with interest, prior to the establishment of the Plan. Monetary credits for service since the Plan began are a percentage (100%, 150% or 200%) of the employee's accumulated contributions. In addition, the City can grant annually another type of monetary credit referred to as an updated service credit which is a theoretical amount which, when added to the employee's accumulated contributions and the monetary credits for service since the Plan began, would be the total monetary credits and employee's contributions accumulated with interest if the employee's contribution rate and City's matching percentage had always been in existence and if the employee's salary had always been the average of his salary in the last three years and that are one year before the effective 64 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements. September 30, 2009 6. Pension Benefits date. At retirement, the benefit is calculated as if the sum of the employee's accumulated contributions with interest and the employer -finance monetary credits with interest were used to purchase an annuity. Members can retire at ages 60 and above with 10 or more years of service or with 20 years of service regardless of age. The Plan also provides death and disability benefits. A member is vested after 10 years. The Plan provisions are adopted by the governing body of the City, within the options available in the state statutes governing the TMRS and within the actuarial constraints also in the statutes. Plan provions for the City were as follows: Employee deposit rate Matching ratio (city to employee) Years required for vesting Service retirement eligibility (expressed as age/years of service) Updated service credit Annuity increase (to retirees) Contributions Plan Year 2008 7.00% 2 to 1 10 60/10,0/20 100% repeating, transfers 70% of CPI repeating Plan Year 2009 7.00% 2to1 10 60/10,0/20 100% repeating, transfers 70% of CPI repeating Under the state law governing TMRS, the contribution rate for each City is determined annually by the actuary, using Projected Unit Credit actuarial cost method. This rate consist of the normal cost contribution rate and the prior service cost contribution rate, which is calculated to be a level percent of payroll from year to year. The normal cost contribution rate finances the portion of an active member's projected benefit allocated annually; the prior service contribution rate amortizes the unfunded (overfunded) actuarial liability (asset) over the applicable period for the city. Both the normal cost and prior service contribution rates include recognition of the projected impact of annually repeating benefits, such as Updated Service Credits and Annuity Increases. The City contributes to the TMRS plan at an actuarially determined rate. Both the employees and the City make contributions monthly. Since the City needs to know its contribution rate in advance for -budgetary purposes, there is a one-year delay between the actuarial valuation that serves as the basis for the rate and the calendar year when the rate goes into effect. The annual pension cost and net pension obligation (asset) are as follows: Fiscal Year Annual required contribution (ARC) Interest on net pension obligation Adjustment to the ARC Annual pension cost Contributions made Increase in net pension obligation Net pension obligation, beginning of year Net pension obligation, ending of year Percentage of ARC contribution 65 2009 2008 2007 $ 3,170, 387 $ 2,033,168 $ 1,952,908 3,170, 387 2,033,168 1,952,908 2,527,995 2,033,168 1,952,908 642,392 - - $ 642,392 $ - $ - 79.7% 100.0% 100.0% CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 6.

Noted to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 6. Pension Benefits — Continued Plan Description The Fire Fighters' Pension Commission is the administrator of the Texas Statewide Emergency Services Personnel Retirement Fund, a cost sharing multiple employer pension system established and administered by the State of Texas to provide pension benefits for emergency services personnel who serve without monetary remuneration. The Texas Statewide Emergency Services Personnel Retirement Fund is considered a component unit of the State of Texas financial reporting entity and is included in the State's financial reports as a pension trust fund. At August 31, 2008 there were 186 member departments participating in the pension system. The following table summarizes the pension system membership as of August 31, 2008: Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving benefits 1,939 Terminated members entitled to benefits but not yet receiving those 1,975 Current active members (vested and non -vested) 4,340 The pension system was created by Senate Bill 411, 65th Legislature, Regular Session (1977). The 791h Legislature, Regular Session (2005), recodified the provisions and gave the TESRS Board of Trustees authority to establish vesting requirements, contributions levels, benefit formulas, and eligibility requirements by board rule. The benefit provisions include retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. Member are 505 vested after the tenth year of service, with the vesting percent increasing 10% for each of the next five years of service so that a member becomes 100% vested with 15 years of service. Upon reaching age 55, each vested member may retire and receive a monthly pension equal to his vested percentage multiplied by six times the governing body's average monthly contribution over the member's years of qualified service. For years of service in excess of 15 years, this monthly benefit is increased at the rate of 6.2 % compounded annually. On and off -duty death benefits and on -duty disability benefits are dependent on whether or not the member was engaged in the performance of duties at the time of death or disability. Death benefits include a lump - sum amount and continuing monthly payments to a member's surviving spouse and dependent children. Funding Policy Contribution provisions were established by S.B. 411, 651h Legislative, Regular Session (1977) and were amended by board rule in 2006. No contributions are required -by individual members of participating departments. The governing bodies of participating department members are required to contribute at least the minimum prescribed amount per month for each active member. Additional contributions may be made by a governing body to pay for granting credit for service before the department began participating in TESRS (prior service). The State may also be reluired to make annual contributions up to a limited amount to make TESRS actuarially sound. Annual Required Contributions The contribution requirement per active emergency services personnel member per month is not actually determined. Rather, the minimum contribution provisions were set by board rule. For the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008, total contributions (dues and prior service) of $2,439,339 were paid into TESRS by the political subdivision and served by the member volunteer emergency services personnel. In addition, the state appropriated $8,800,000 for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2008. Total contributions made were greater than the contributions required by the state statute and were greater than the contributions based on the August 31, 2006 actuarial valuation. 67 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 6. Pension Benefits - Continued The purpose of the biennial actuarial valuations is to test the adequacy of the contribution arrangement and determine if they are adequate to fund the benefits that are promised. The actuarial valuation as of August 31, 2008 revealed the adequacy of the expected contributions (dues and prior service contributions) together with the actual state appropriations for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2009 ($415,405 to help pay for the Systems administrative expense) and with the assumed continuation of legislative appropriations of (1) the maximum state contribution amount in future years for the System to have a 30 year amortization period, and (2) approximately $425,000 each year to help pay for the System's administrative expenses. Expected contributions for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2009 are equal to the contributions required. The City's annual contributions for fiscal year ending September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $19,872, $18480, and $13,440, repectively. 7.

Risk Management The City is exposed to various risks related to torts: theft, damage to and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; and natural disasters. The City's risk management program encompasses various means of protecting the City against loss by obtaining property, casualty and liability coverage from participation in a risk pool. The participation of the City in the risk pool is limited to the payment of premiums. Further information regarding the pool is provided below. Settled claims have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the previous three fiscal years. There has not been any significant reduction in insurance coverage from that of the previous year. Health Insurance Benefits The City self -insures a portion of health insurance benefits provided to employees. The City records revenues and expenses for providing employee health coverage in an Internal Service Fund and accrues the estimated incurred but not reported claims. Charges are assessed to various City divisions based on their full-time employee count. 70 8. Risk Management - Continued Activity during the year included: Revenues: CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 Charges to divisions Charges to employees Charges to retirees Insurance proceeds Interest revenue Miscellaneous revenue Total revenues Expenses: Personnel expenses Other expenses Claims administration Claims incurred Re -insurance premiums Total health services expenses $ 2,784,339 404,445 87,621 289,700 36,724 2,535 3,605,364 281,797 302,148 204,345 2,537,775 310,415 $ 3,636,480 Included in the claims paid amount is $448,000 for incurred but not reported claims. Settled claims have not exceeded insurance coverage in any of the previous four fiscal years. Estimates of claims payable and of claims incurred but not reported at September 30, 2009 are reflected as liabilities of the Internal Service Fund. Because actual claims liabilities depend on such complex factors as inflation, changes in legal requirements and damage awards, the process used in computing claims liability is an estimate based on historical claims. Analysis of claims liability for the fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009 are as follows: Beginning Current of Year Year Accrual Estimates Fiscal Year2007 $406,650 $2,441,585 Fiscal Year 2008 509,552 3,805,967 Fiscal Year 2009 677,000 2,308,775 Risk Pool Payment End of for Year Claims Accrual $2,338,683 $509,552 3,638,519 677,000 2,537,775 448,000 The City is a member of the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool, an unincorporated association of 1,860 political subdivisions of the State of Texas. The Pool contracts with a third party administrator for administration, investigation and adjustment services in the handling of claims. All loss contingencies, including claims incurred but not reported, if any, are recorded and accounted for by the Pool. 71 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities From time to time, the City is a defendant in legal proceedings relating to its operations as a municipality. In the best judgment of the City's management, the outcome of any pending legal proceedings will not have an adverse effect on the accompanying general purpose financial statements. The City participates in certain federal and state assisted grant programs. These programs are subject to program compliance audits by the grantors or their representatives. Any liability for reimbursement which may arise as the result of these audits is not believed to be material. 10. Post -Employment Benefits Plan Description. In addition to pension benefits described in Note 6, employees who retire from the City and are eligible for pension benefits shall be provided medical coverage City to the extent and subject to the conditions of such coverage that is provided to current employees of the City. The City administers this single -employer defined benefit medical plan ("the Retiree Medical Plan"). The plan provides medical coverage for eligible retirees and their dependents through the City's self -health insurance plan, which covers both active and retired members. Benefit provisions are established and amended by City Council. The Retiree Medical Plan does not issue a publicly available financial report. Funding Policy. This coverage for retired employees is provided at the option of City council through adoption of the annual budget. The City funds these premiums in the same manner as it funds similar premiums for current employees. Employees, who retired from the City before October 1, 1992, have 100% of their coverage paid for by the City. Employees who retired from the City in 1993 and up to December 31, 1999, with 20 or more years of service have 100% of their coverage paid for by the City. Prior to January 1, 2000, employees who have 15 years but less than 20 years of service are required to pay for 10% of the cost and employees who have 10 years but less than 15 years of service are required to pay for 20% of their costs. For employees who retire after January 1, 2000 the following applies: Years of Service with City Retiree Cost City Cost Retiree Cost Per Year At least 10 but less than 15 years 55% 45% $3,300 At least 15 but less than 20 years 25% 75% 1,500 At least 20 years 0% 100% 0 Employees who are eligible for the post employment benefits are employees who retire after January 1, 2006 and who have a combination of years of service with the City of La Porte plus age totaling 80 and who retire as a qualified annuitant under the Texas Municipal Retirement System; who retire in accordance with the City of La Porte Employee Policies Handbook; who complete at least 20 years of service with the City of La Porte are currently employed by the City of La Porte at the time of their retirement. The total premium cost is the total annual dollar allocated by budget as approved by City Council for the City of La Porte for health insurance for each employee, including employee and employer contributions. The cost allocation shall be as follows: 72 10 CITY OF IA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 Post -Employment Benefits -continued Years of Service Retiree City with City Cost Cost at least 20 years 60% + dependent premiums 40% 21 years 55% + dependent premiums 45% 22 years 50% + dependent premiums 50% 23 years 45% + dependent premiums 55% 24 years 40% + dependent premiums 60% 25 years 35% + dependent premiums 65% 26 years 30% + dependent premiums 70% 27 years 25% + dependent premiums 75% 28 years 20% + dependent premiums 80% 29 years 15% + dependent premiums 85% 30 years 10% + dependent premiums 90% Retirees who are entitled to receive retirement benefits under the City's retirement plan may purchase continued health benefits for the retiree and the retiree's dependents. The person must inform the City no later than the day on which the person retires that the person elects to continue coverage. If the retiree elects to continue coverage for himself and/or his dependents, once he decides to drop either type of coverage, the person and/or his dependents become eligible for coverage at the next open enrollment period. The level of coverage provided is the same level of coverage provided to current employees. The City's coverage is secondary to Medicare when the person becomes eligible for those benefits. Payment for dependent coverage will be at the same rate as payments for current employees. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation. The City's annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost is calculated based on the annual required contribution of the employer (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed thirty years. The following table shows the components of the City's annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed to the plan, and changes in the City's OPEB obligation to the postemployment medical plan. Annual Required Contribution (ARC) $ 2,190,180 Interest on Net OPEB Obligation - Adjustment to the ARC - Annual OPEB Cost 2,190,180 Contributions Made 370,318 Increase in Net OPEB Obligation 1,819,862 Net OPEB Obligation, beginning of year - Net OPEB Obligation, ending of year $ 1,819,862 The City's annual OPEB cost, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan, and the net OPEB obligation for fiscal year 2009 are as follows. This information is not included for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 due to fiscal year 2009 being a transition year of the implementation of GASB Statement 45.

Post -Employment Benefits— Continued Funded Status and Funding Progress. The funding status of the post employment medical plan as of the most recent actuarial valuation date is as follows: Actuarial Valuation Date 6/30OW7 Actuarial value of assets Actuarial accrued liabilities (AAL) 28,101,585 Unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) 28,101,585 Funded ratio 0.00% Covered payroll (active plan members) 18,218,769 UAAL as a percentage of covered payroll 64.83% Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value reported amounts and assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future. A schedule of funding progress presents multi -trend information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. A schedule of funding progress is not available in year of implementation of GASB Statement 45. Actuarial Methods and Assumptions. Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the long-term perspective of the calculations. In the June 30, 2007, actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used. The actuarial assumptions included a 4.5 percent investment rate of return compounded annually (net of administrative expenses), which is a blended rate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and on the employer's own investments calculated based on the funded level of the plan at the valuation date, an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 10 percent initially, reduced by decrements to an ultimate rate of 4.5 percent after 10 years, and a payroll growth rate for projecting normal cost of 3 percent. These rates include a 3 percent inflation assumption. The actuarial value of assets was determined using techniques that spread the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments over a five-year period. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of payroll contributions over a 30 year period assuming payroll growth of 3 percent. The remaining amortization period at September 30, 2009, was 30 years. Supplemental Death Benefits Fund The City also participates in the cost sharing multiple -employer defined benefit group term life insurance plan operated by the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) known as the Supplemental Death Benefits Fund (SDBF). The City elected, by ordinance to provide group term life insurance coverage to both current and retired employees. The city may terminate coverage under and discontinue participation in the SDBF by adopting an ordinance before November 1 of any year to be effective the following January 1. The death benefit for active employees provides a lump sum payment approximately equal to the employee's annual salary (calculated based on the employee's actual earnings, for the 12-month period preceding the month of death); retired employees are insured for $7,500; this coverage is an "other postemployment benefit, " or OPEB. The city contributes to SDBF at a contractually required rate as determined by an annual actuarial valuation. The rate is equal to the cost of providing one-year term life 74 CITY OF IA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2009 10. Post -Employment Benefits— Continued insurance. The funding policy for the SDBF program is to assure that adequate resources are available to meet all death benefit payments for the upcoming year; the intent is not to pre -fund retiree term life insurance during employee's entire careers. The city's contributions to the TMRS SDBF for the fiscal year ended 2009 was $5,312, which equaled the required contributions. Fiscal year 2009 is a transition year for the implementation of GASB 45; therefore, one year of contributions is disclosed.

Deficit Fund Balance The Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone One (TIRZ) Fund has a deficit fund balance of $349,690, as of September 30, 2009. This deficit is the result of the TIRZ borrowing money from a capital projects fund to finance capital improvements. This deficit fund balance will be covered with future property tax revenues. 75 76 REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 77 78 Required Supplementary Information CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS General Fund Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances Budget and Actual For The Year Ended September 30, 2009 Variance with Final Budget Budgeted Amounts Actual Positive Original Final Amounts (Negative) REVENUES Property taxes $11,786,500 $12,584,499 $ 13,436,413 $ 851,914 Franchise taxes 1,992,068 2,124,017 2,160,425 36,408 Sales taxes 3,085,011 2,995,000 2,958,648 (36, 352) Industrial payments 9,860,078 10,181,383 10,292,030 110,647 Other taxes 75,000 84,527 91,187 6,660 Licenses and permits 627,680 596,037 641,614 45,577 Fines and forfeits 1,405,065 1,351,416 1,668,364 316,948 Charges for services 3,946,262 4,084,926 4,139,264 54,338 Intergovernmental 6,000 3,500 1,980 (1,520) Interest 450,000 300,000 274,383 (25,617) Miscellaneous 25,000 25,000 50,577 25,577 Total revenues 33,258,664 34,330,305 35,714,885 1,384,580 EXPENDITURES General Government: Administration 2,720,887 2,937,557 2,899,607 37,950 Finance 3,379,485 3,633,395 3,399,516 233,879 Planning and engineering 1,881,056 1,823,362 1,817,501 5,861 Public Safety: Fire 4,144,145 4,020,715 4,001,810 18,905 Police 9,072,904 8,965,091 8,911,440 53,651 Public Works: Public works administration 360,083 371,602 369,859 1,743 Streets 2,395,844 2,306,836 2,298,312 8,524 Health and Sanitation: Solidwaste 2,109,883 2,097,786 2,087,069 10,717 Culture and Recreation 3,748,653 3,762,256 3,802,569 (40,313) Total expenditures 29,812,940 29,918,600 29,587,683 330,917 Excess (deficiency) of revenues over expenditures 3,445,724 4,411,705 6,127,202 1,715,497 OTHER FINANCING SOURCES (USES) Sale of capital assets 5,000 134,399 136,559 2,160 Transfers in 460,719 668,450 761,086 92,636 Transfers out (6,569,235) (7,378,796) (7,378,796) - Total other financing sources (uses) (6,108,516) (6,575,947) (6,481,151) 94,796 Net change in fund balances (2,662,792) (2,164,242) (353,949) 1,810,293 Fund balances -beginning 13,947,978 13,947,978 13,947,978 - Fund balances -ending $11,285,186 $11,783,736 $ 13,594,029 $ 1,810,293 79 Required Supplementary Information CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Grant Special Revenue Fund Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balance Budget and Actual For The Year Ended September 30, 2009 Variance with Final Budget Budgeted Amounts Actual Positive Original Final Amounts (Negative) REVENUES Fines and forfeitures $ 457,040 $ 457,040 $ 164,206 $ (292,834) Charges for services 141,500 141,500 13,611 (127,889) Intergovernmental 1,324,988 1,482,645 4,866,333 3,383,688 Interest - - 3,109 3,109 Miscellaneous - 47,213 47,961 748 Total revenues 1,923,528 2,128,398 5,095,220 2,966,822 EXPENDITURES Current: General government 392,300 491,996 296,878 195,118 Public safety 563,001 723,554 721,659 1,895 Public works - 5,286,500 3,920,201 1,366,299 Culture and recreation 203,870 208,187 50,030 158,157 Capital outlay 764,357 918,768 491,902 426,866 Total expenditures 1,923,528 7,629,005 5,480,670 2,148,335 Excess (deficiency) of revenues over expenditures - (5,500,607) (385,450) 5,115,157 OTHER FINANCING SOURCES (USES) Transfers in - 550 550 - Transfers out - - (21,126) (21,126) Total other financing sources (uses) - 550 (20,576) (21,126) Net change in fund balances Fund balances —beginning Fund balances -ending - (5,500,057) 1,621,894 1,621,894 $ 1,621,894 $ (3,878,163) 80 (406, 026) 5,094,031 1,621,894 - $ 1,215,868 $ 5,094,031 CITY OF LA PORTE, TEXAS Notes to the Required Supplementary Information September 30, 2009 Budgetary Basis of Accounting An annual budget is adopted for the General Fund using the modified accrual basis of accounting, a basis sanctioned by, and consistent with, generally accepted accounting principles. 81 COMBINING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NONMAJOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS Special Revenue Funds Special revenue funds are used to account for specific revenues that are legally restricted to expenditure for particular purposes.

We would like to publish the initial Notice of Intent for Certificates of Obligation up to a maximum of $6,400,000 on Wednesday March 10, 2010 and the second notice on Wednesday, March 17, 2010. The City is also anticipating refunding $4,375, 000 million in callable debt at the same time we issue the new debt.

Subsequent to the first public hearing meeting, legal notices, in accordance with Article VIII; Section 82-475 of the Code of Ordinances, were provided to the structure owner. The individual attended each public hearing and was aware of the continuances granted by Council. Staff also sent meeting reminder letters. A February 23, 2010 site visit to 401 N. 6`' Street showed no change. Also, on the same date, we spoke with the owner (Mary Riley) by phone and she informed staff that a representative from the Harris County Home Repair Program advised her that they are unable to assist her in the repair of the home. The purpose of this public hearing is to receive property owner, citizen and staff comments as to why the structure should or should not be condemned and demolished. Following the close of the hearing, Council will be asked to consider condemnation of the structure. The structure was damaged by a fire in October 2005 and while the Dangerous Building Inspections Board is aware of Ms. Riley's recent efforts, the County's decision not to assist with repairs is significant. Since funding has not been secured and the structure remains a public nuisance, staff recommends condemnation of the structure at 401 N. 6t6 Street. of ordinance or other action regarding condemnation of the structure at 401 N. 6ffi Street rm ouncil A enda �Vlo on Bottoms, City Manager Date City of La Porte DANGEROUS BUILDING INSPECTION FORM DATE: June 26 2009 STREET ADDRESS: 401 N 6'n ST HCAD OWNER: GEORGE EUGENE RILEY.• 904 S KANSAS ST, LA PORTE, TX 77571-5808 DEED OWNER: EUGENIA MAE RILEY C/O GEORGE EUGENE RILEY; 904 S KANSAS ST LA PORTS TX 77571-5808 LEGAL: LOTS 17 18 BLK 91 • LA PORTE OCCUPANCY TYPE: RESIDENTAL ZONING: R-1 NON -CONFORMING ISSUES: N/A FACILITIES AVAILABLE: WATER: SEWER: ELECTRICAL: 0 GAS: NO.OF DWELLING UNITS: VACANT: OCCUPIED: AS REQUIRED IN THE CITY'S CODE OF ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 82; ARTICLE VIII, THE BOARD OF INSPECTION MADE AN INSPECTION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROPERTY, AND DETERMINED THE BUILDING LOCATED THEREON, IN THEIR OPINION, IS IN FACT A DANGEROUS BUILDING, FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: Sec. 82-473.

Staff looked into the program and learned that there are 14 other cities in Texas participating. The NLC Prescription Discount Card program is a member service of the National League of Cities. Cities must be a member of NLC in order to sponsor the program and offer the discount card to residents at no cost to them or the City. This program for NLC member cities is to help residents cope with the high cost of prescription drugs. The NLC Prescription Discount Card program, in collaboration with CVS Caremark, can save an average of 20% off the full retail cost of prescription medication. Again, there is no cost for member cities to participate in the program, but interested cities must: • Promote the program to the local media with mutually approved communications: Pre launch press release, launch press release and PSAs. (Bayshore Sun, Houston Chronicle) • Promote the program through various city venues or communications to the residents using the standard communication vehicles the city currently uses. All communications must be reviewed and approved by NLC and CVS Caremark unless the city is using supplied communications. (City Website, ConnectCTY, Utility Bills, Marquee, etc.) • Provide city wide ID card distribution points to distribute the template ID card that will be printed with the relevant city's seal. Stands will be provided to display the cards. (City facilities, Library, Neighborhood Center, Chamber, etc.) • Provide a link to the co -branded web site www.caremark.com/nlc from the city web site, as this site contains the program information and useful tools for city residents, including online enrollment with the ability to print an ID card and use it immediately. • Identify a person on the city staff to serve as the principal program contact with NLC and CVS Caremark.

There is no cost to your city to provide this program to city residents and it is very likely that you may save those residents more on the cost of prescriptions over the course of one year than the city's dues to NLC. The city will be provided with approved marketing materials and tools to promote and launch the program. City residents can easily print an ID card and use program tools via a program web site. Printed ID cards and display materials (customized with the city name and logo) will be provided to give the city residents easy access to the program.

While savings on each prescription may vary, the NLC Prescription Discount Card Program saves an average of 20 percent off of the pharmacy's regular retail prices. The savings are validated monthly and annually. What if a pharmacy's price on particular prescription drugs is lower than the discount card price? The program uses a "lower -of" pricing schedule so that residents are never disadvantaged by using the discount card. On occasion, a participating pharmacy may have a lower price on particular prescription drugs. If that occurs, residents will always pay the lowest price. Who pays the cost of the discount? Pharmacies In the national discount network agree to absorb the cost of the discount. The benefit to the pharmacy of participating in the program is that it creates customer loyalty and Increases store traffic. Does NLC or CVS Caremark share the personal information of residents using the discount card? CVS Caremark does not give or share personally identifiable health information to manufacturers or direct marketers. CVS Caremark is fully compliant with all federal and state privacy and security regulations pertaining to the protection of protected health information and has a robust compliance program which monitors and enforces policy compliance. NLC neither receives nor shares personal information of residents. Does NLC or any participating city receive revenue from the program? Neither NLC nor any participating city receives revenue for sponsoring the discount card program. Does the program provide a competitive advantage to CVS Pharmacies? All major pharmacy chains and most local independent pharmacies, nearly 60,000 pharmacies nationwide, participate in the discount card network. Residents are not encouraged or incentivized to use CVS pharmacies over any other chain or independent pharmacy. Can the discount card be used with other prescription insurance benefits? The program is not insurance; it is a prescription discount program. The card ""' cannot be used to supplement Insurance benefits. The card can be used for prescriptions not covered by an insurance plan. Program operated by CVS Caremark. Wa#icncil Leaqu* of ClM*s This Is NOT Insurance.

For discussion purposes we have divided the properties into these major groups. • Property owned in fee and previously bid • Property owned in fee and needing special considerations by City Council • Tax Delinquent Properties Table A For property owned in fee and previously bid where either no bids were received or bids rejected by City Council: • Re -bid using prior information and evaluate bids received • If bids not acceptable, then negotiate with highest bidder to see if agreement can be reached Table B For properties owned in fee but suggest special consideration by City Council: • Visit with City Council in executive session to discuss particular issues regarding these properties Table C Tax Delinquent properties falling into two categories: 1. Properties too small to build on, usually one 25-foot lot or remnants of properties — (generally only of value to adjacent property owners) (approximately 13 properties) • For properties where bids were received but not closed • Give bidders 30 days to respond to completing transaction related to previous bid • If no response, then again place on rolling bid list • If no response & closure on rolling bid Remaining Tax Delinquent Properties: • Review for any public need • Review for properties where bids were received but not closed o Follow process outlined above • Review for consideration for housing opportunities (i.e. Habitat for Humanity or other non-profit) • Review properties where special consideration by City Council is recommended.

Action Required by Council: Receive report on the proposed La Porte Anti -Litter Campaign and give staff direction. Ron L> - 1, /� ate City of La Porte City Council Report & Recommendation La Porte Anti -Litter Campaign March 8, 2010 Overview The City of La Porte has been is making great strides in improving the public landscape around the City. There have been a number of beautification efforts that are really beginning to pay off in terms of improving the way La Porte looks, both to our residents and to visitors. Our Code Enforcement staff has stepped up their efforts in getting the City more presentable and keeping us moving in the right direction when it comes to improving La Porte's quality of life and appearance. Problem The City is experiencing a surprisingly large amount of litter on our major thoroughfares, especially Fairmont Parkway. Trash is strewn from SH146 all the way east to the eastern city limit at Luella and it seems to reappear as fast as it is picked up. Proposed Solutions Staff is proposing a two pronged approach to the problem. • One, to begin a series of education steps to make our citizens aware of the problem through newspaper articles, water bill inserts, Marquee notices, and special cleanup events. • Two, staff is proposing that the City of La Porte begin an "Adopt a Street" program here that would, with a little bit of effort from a lot of folks, really help the appearance of our City. Several of the community service organizations, Rotary International, Bayshore Baptist, and as well as volunteers from Albemarle, have already indicated that they would like to participate. We believe that a large number of churches, civic groups, school groups and service organizations will assist us in this beautification effort. Development The program would be simple. Fairmont Parkway would be divided into three segments; SH146 to Driftwood (1.7 miles), Driftwood to Underwood (1.5 miles), and Underwood to Luella (1.5 miles). We would set up a quarterly litter pickup for each of the three segments. A service group that signs up for a segment would, depending on the response, only pick up their area one time per year (of course they could organize and do other pickups as they desired). Our estimate is that it would take 4-5 hours to pick up both sides of Fairmont per each segment, with 10-15 volunteers. As an added incentive, and as a Pilot Project, the City proposes to pay each organization a stipend for their quarterly service of $200 each time. The total cost for 3 segments, 4 times per year, would be $2,400. This is not a huge amount of money, but it does represent a nice little sum for example, for a school booster club or service organization for a morning's work. The City would also provide a roll of plastic bags, and yellow safety vests (for the first time) to each organization, and a roll of bags for each subsequent quarterly pickup. This is a nominal cost to the City and will pay dividends in the long run. We would also recognize the organizations that sign up to support the effort, by placing "Adopt a Road" signage at each segment, with smaller signs underneath, identifying each participating group. Summary This proposed pilot program is a win -win for the City, its citizens, and for the participating organizations. It will provide positive reinforcement toward both approaches; education about the litter problem in our city, and making a concerted effort to physically improve the appearance of our city. Together we can continue to make La Porte a better, more attractive city to live in and work in. 19 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: March 8, 2010 Requested By: S. Gillett Department: Public Works Report: X Resolution: Ordinance: Exhibits: Proposal and Agreement to Perform Final Design Exhibits: Construction Cost Estimate Exhibits Appropriation Source of Funds: GEN957 Account Number: 015-9892-957-1100 Amount Budgeted: $ 2,000,000 Amount Requested: $158,800 Budgeted Item: Yes SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION On September 14, 2009, the Drainage and Flooding Committee heard the results of a detailed study performed by Klotz and Associates regarding drainage problems on Fleetwood Drive and adjacent streets. The Committee directed staff to negotiate a contract to prepare a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) to evaluate all alternatives and recommend a cost-effective solution to the problem. The PER was completed and two (2) alternatives were presented to the Committee on February 16, 2010. Following a request from the Fairmont Park east HOA, the Committee delayed recommending an alternative to give the HOA time to further review and comment on the PER. The Committee met on March 1, 2010 to select an alternative to recommend to the City Council. The HOA recommended Alternative 5a, with the addition of additional storm sewer north to North Sycamore Street. The Committee voted to recommend Alternative 5a, including the recommendation to extend the storm sewer north to North Sycamore Street. Total estimated construction cost, including an additional $133,418 for the added pavement and storm sewer and a 20% contingency, totals $1,541,051 (Cost estimate attached). Klotz and Associates has submitted a proposal to perform Final Design and Construction Phase Services for the selected alternative. The cost of the Proposal is as follows: Final Design Phase $ 128,690 Biding Phase 4,000 Construction Phase 20,780 Reimbursables 5,330 Total $158,800 The schedule to complete bid ready plans, specifications, bid documents and final cost estimate is 120 days. J&tift Required by Council: Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with Klotz Assoc ates to perform a Final Design, bidding and construction phase services for the Fleetwood Drive treet and Drainage Project for a total cost of $158,800.

BACKGROUND Fleetwood Drive is a concrete curb and gutter roadway section that is elevated above intersecting streets along its alignment. The intersecting residential streets drain away from Fleetwood Drive toward inlets located in a sag in the residential street profile. These low points collect water from contributing lots and roadway surfaces. Portions of Fleetwood Drive are high and restrict sheet flow. During frequent storm events severe ponding occurs. In addition to Fleetwood Drive, five side streets are being affected with the recommended construction. They are: South Spruce, Linwood, Dogwood, Idlewood and Mulberry. The drainage analysis showed these to be the highest problem areas with respect to ponding and inability to have surface runoff in significant rain events to reach Fleetwood Drive and discharge properly. Of these five side streets, three of them require substantial length of street lowering to achieve the 6 inch vertical ponding criteria established as part of the alternative analysis portion of this project. The three `critical' side streets are Linwood, Dogwood and Idlewood. This fee proposal is for final design and construction phase services for Alternative 5a modified. This Alternative 5a modified scope will include designing a 5-year storm sewer system upstream to North Sycamore Street. The following sections detail our proposed scope of services for design, bid and construction phase services for Alternative 5a modified. celebrating i- years of engineering excellence Mr. Steve Gillett March 2, 2010 Page 2 of 5 klotz,Iass0Ciates SCOPE OF ENGINEERING SERVICES Final Design Task 1 — Project Client Meetings We will meet with the City on a bi-monthly basis to review and discuss project progress.
