"0_ . 4 .__ ....__ September 25, 1979 Mayor, City Administrator, and Council Members, City of La Porte; Mayor and Council Members, City ~f Lomax Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: The following recommendations are those which I feel will be the most beneficial and economical means to serve the people 'of Lomax by the City of La Porte Water and Wastewater Division. It should be noted that no provisions for use of these facilities other than to serve 'the people of the community of Lomax have been made. It is the recommendation of the Public lvorks Director, City of La Porte, and their consulting engineers to lay approximately 15,000 feet of eight inch (8 in.) forced sewer main from the main lift station on North "L" Street, south along Underwood, then east along Fairmont Parkway to the Fairmont Park Sewer Plant. The estimated cost of this line is $10.00 per linear foot or $150,000.00. It is recommended that a twelve inch (12 in.) water main be laid from North "L" Street south on Underwood to Spencer Hwy., then east on the north side of Spencer to Valleybrook. At this point it would b~ tied into an exist- ing twelve inch (12 in.) main. The estimated cost of this line is $18.00 per linear foot or $162,000,00. It is recommended that the six inch (6 in,) water line on tbe east Lomax City limits line along 26th Street be extended south to the sixteen inch (16 in.) water main on the south side of Spencer. This will include a forty foot (40 ft.) bore at approximately $25.00 per foot or $1,000.00. The estimated cost of this line is $14.00 per linear foot or $50,000.00 plus $1,000,00 for boring or a total of $51,400,00. The engineering fee for this project is figured at 6.7% of the total. .,. ... e . Mayor, City Administrator, and Council Members, City of La Porte; Mayor and Council Members, City of Lomax 2 Sepetmber 25, 1979 Total Estimate 6.7% engineer fee $150,000.00 50,400.00 162,000.00 1,000.00 $363,400.00 x 6.7 $ 24,347,80 + $363,400.00 $387,747.80 15,000 feet of 8 inch force main at $10.00 per ft. 3,600 feet of 8 inch water main at $14.00 per ft. 9,000 feet of 12 inch water main at $18.00 per ft. 40 ft, bore at $25.00 per foot Project Grand Total These. estimates are made on present day prices with no escalation figures included. There are also no provisions figured for fire hydrants on any of the water main extensions. Should any fire hydrants be added they should be figured at $1,200.00 each. The eight inch (8 in,) forced main from the main lift station on North "L" Street to the Fairmont Sewer Plant is the most economical means to tie the Lomax system into the La Porte system. Even though this is the most econ- omical it should be pointed out that the line can only be used as a forced main from Lomax. I wou1d'a1so like to point out that a combination forced main and gravity main would not be advisable due to the extreme depth re- quired to lay the gravity portion of the main into the Fairmont Plant, The cost of a gravity main at this depth is too expensive to consider, Since~~~ ~kS Public Works Director City of La Porte JHB/nm "I 1\ ';1 \\ IL__Jl__ _.JJ...___ ': .r---"r---'lf-- ,,' I.

SUITE 300 I 149 ELLSWORTH DRIVE PASADENA, TEXAS 77506 January 23, 1979 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Lomax Lomax, Texas We have examined the financial statements of the various funds and the general long-term debt group of accounts of the City of Lomax, Texas for the year ended September 30, 1978, shown on pages 3 through 27. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We did not examine the financial statements of the general fixed assets group of accounts shown on pages 29 through 31 and on page 4, and we express no opinion on them. The financial statements of the City of Lomax, Texas Water and Sewer Fund for the year ended September 30, 1978, are not included in the accompanying financial report. However, we have examined the financial statements of such fund and have simultaneously issued our separate report thereon. In our opinion, the financial statements of the various funds and the general long-term debt group of accounts shown on pages 3 through 27 present fairly the financial position of such funds and the general long-term debt group of accounts of the City of Lomax, Texas at September 30, 1978, and the results of operations of such funds for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of 'the preceding year except for the following two changes with which we concur: to report revenues of 'the Revenue Sharing Fund on the accrual basis and to report a prior year 1ease~purchase option as a purchase. Th~ effects of these changes are described in Note 2 of the financial statements. 7J!~) ~~-JI~ 1 I I I I I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I EXHIBIT A COMBINED STATEMENTS - ALL FUNDS CITY OF LOMAX, TEXAS COMBINED BALANCE SHEET - ALL FUNDS September 30, 1978 ASSETS AND OTHER DEBITS General Fund FUNDS Special Revenue Fund Revenue Sharing General Debt Service Fund Cash Delinquent ta~es receivable Allowance for delinquent taxes receivable Accounts receivable Due from other funds Prepaid expenses Land Buildings Furniture and equipment Automobile Machinery and equipment Amount available for retirement of serial bonds Amount to be provided for retirement of serial bonds Amount to be provided for retirement 'of note principal $ 20,849 18,245 $ $ 2,057 l,143 (18,245) 4,l76 19,353 1,l37 2,278 TOTAL ASSETS AND OTHER DEBTS $ 45,515 $ $ 2,057 3,421 LIABILITIES Accounts payable Payroll taxes payable Sales taxes payable General obligation bonds payable Installment note principal payable $ $ $ 908 119 51 INVESTMENT IN GENERAL FIXED ASSETS From General Fund Revenues From unidentified sources F1JND BALANCES Fund Balances 44,437 3,421 2,057 TOTAL LIABILITIES AND FUND BALANCES $ $ 2,057 3,421 "$ 45,515 The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of these statements. 3 I I I I I I I I I ,I I I I I I I I I I I I EXHIBIT A-I I ACCOUNT GROUPS I General General Fixed Assets Long-Term Debt I (Unaudited) $ $ I I 20,559 12,052 I 2,153 7,390 39,557 I 2,057 I 662,943 17,663 I $ 81,711 $ 682,663 'I $ $ I 665,000 17,663 I I 48,552 33,159 I I I $ 81,711 $ 682,663 I 4 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF LOMAX, TEXAS COMBINED STATEMENT OF CASH RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS - ALL FUNDS For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1978 GENERAL FUND (Exhibit B-1) SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - REVENUE SHARING (Exhibit C-1) GENERAL DEBT SERVICE FUND (Exhibit D-1) TOTALS BALANCES CLASSIFIED BY DEPOSITORY Petty cash funds Allied Deer Park Bank TOTAL Balance October 1, 1977 $ 7,178 5,785 2,005 $ 14,968 Deposits $334,098 9,236 79,815 $423,149 EXHIBIT A-2 Balance September 30, Disbursements 1978 $320.,427 13,878 79.763 $414,068 $ 20,849 1,143 2.057 $ 24.049 $ 289 23,760 $ 24,049 The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of these statenlents. 5 I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF LOMAX, TEXAS COMBINED SCHEDULE OF INTEREST INCOME - ALL FUNDS For the Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 1978 EXHIBIT A-3 GENERAL FUND (Exhibit B-3) Interest earned on investments $ 478 636 GENERAL DEBT SERVICE FUND ( Exhibit D-3) TOTAL ALL FUNDS $ 1,114 The notes to the financial statements are an integral part of these statements. 6 CITY OF LOMAX, TEXAS COMBINED SCHEDULE OF BONDS AND NOTES PAYABLE September 30, 1978 Bonds and Notes Interest Rate % General Obligation Bonds - Series 1973 4.00-6.00 Plains Machinery Company Installment Note 9.60 Total General Obligation Bonds and Notes (Exhibit E-1) ,.

Purpose of Funds and Account Groups Funds General Fund - to account for all of the general revenues (primarily ad valorem taxes) of the City not specifically levied or collected for other city funds, and for the expenditures relating to the rendering of general services by the City. Specia1'Revenue Funds - to account for specific revenues, and the expenditure of these revenues for designated purposes. General Debt Service Fund - to account for the payment of principal and interest on the general obligation bonds and 'other general long-term debts of the City. Account Groups General Long-Term Debt - to account for the outstanding principal balances of general obligation bonds and other general long-term debts of the City. General Fixed Assets - to account for all completed facilities and other fixed assets of the City, except for those fixed assets owned by the Water and Sewer Fund. General Fixed Assets The cost of purchasing or constructing property by the various funds is recorded as an expenditure in this fund. These expenditures, except those made for Water and Sewer Fund assets, are capitalized in General Fixed Assets at cost. No depreciation is provided on General Fixed Assets. NOTE 2 - ACCOUNT CHANGES Revenue Sharing Fund Basis of Reporting Revenue In prior years the Revenue Sharing Fund reported entitlement revenues from the Federal Government on the Cash basis. Based on the certainty of receipt of entitlement payments, the current financial statements for the Revenue Sharing Fund are presented on the accrual basis. A prior period adjustment is reported on Exhibit C-2 to restate the September 30, 1977, fund balance as adjusted to the accrual basis. 33 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF LOMAX, TEXAS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1978 EXHIBIT G PAGE 2 NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGES (Continued) I Plains Machinery Company Lease-Purchase Agreement and Related Payments The City executed a purchase option for a new Ga1ion Grader on December 21, 1976. Under the option the City was obligated to pay thirty-six monthly installments of $1,253.00 each. Fifteen of these payments remain unpaid at September 30, 1978. In prior years, the agreement was not reported in total as a purchase along with the related long-term debt. Monthly payments were reported in the financial statements of the General Fund as capital outlay expenditures as they were paid. But the payments were not reported as capitalized in the General Fixed Assets. Prior period adjustments are reported in the current financial statements on Exhibits E-2 and F-2 to restate the long-term debt balance at September 30, 1977 and to increase recorded general fixed assets by the cost of the grader. The amount of note payments for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1978 are reported in the financial statements of the General Fund as a contribution to the Debt Service Fund and in the financial statements of the Debt Service Fund as a contribution revenue from the General Fund, with offsetting expenditures for note principal and interest. The unpaid principal balance' of the note is reported in General Long-Term Debt. NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Lawsuit Filed Against City of Lomax Board of Adjustment Subsequent to September 30, 1978, a suit was filed against the City of Lomax Board of Adjustment. The suit objects to the refusal of the board to grant a permit for the extension of a non-conforming use in a district zoned residential property. The suit seeks damages of $650,000 actual and $3,500,000 punitive. The City intends to contest the suit vigorously. City legal council is of the opinion that the eventual outcome will be in favor of the City. City of Deer Park Notification of Termination of Water and Sewer Services to the City of Lomax In a letter dated January 23, 1979 the City of Deer Park notified the City of Lomax that effective July 30, 1980, the City of Deer Park would cease furnishing water and sewer services to the City of Lomax. Water and sewer services are currently furnished under a July 1l, 1972 contract that requires eighteen months notice for termination. The City of Lomax'does not own a water source or sewage treatment plant. City officials are actively seeking a new source for these services. 34 I I I I I I I I I I REPORT ON EXAMINATION OF THE CITY OF LOMAX WATER AND SEWER FUND HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS SEPTEMBER 30, 1978 I I I I I I I I I MOSHER, SEIFERT AND COMPANY CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS DIAMOND SHAMROCK BUILDING.

SUITE 300 1 148 ELLSWORTH DRIVE PASADENA" TEXAS 77506 January 23, 1979 The Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Lomax Lomax:, Texas We have examined the financial statements of the Water and Sewer Fund of the City of Lomax, Texas for the year ended September 30,. 1978, listed in the foregoing table of contents. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records'and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. ' The City has not maintained a record of the fixed assets of the Water and Sewer Fund. Water and sewer systems ,constructed by developers and contributed to the City have not been capitalized in curr~nt and prior years. The amounts by which the financial statements would change, if these items were included, which are material, cannot be determined. Therefore, because of the material effect of the above omissions, which are at variance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is our opinion, that the aforementioned financial statements do not present fairly the financial position of the Water and Sewer Fund of the City of Lomax, Texas at September 30, 1978, nor the results of its operations and changes in its financial position for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principle~. 1l/~~r;J~ 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1,609,096 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I CITY OF LOMAX, TEx:p...s WATER AND SEWER F1JND BA.1AJ.'1CE SHEET SEPT~mER 30, 1978 ASSETS CURRENT ASSETS -

NOTE 3 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Environmental Protection Agency Audit Report on Grant for Wastewate~ Treatment Works Construction The January 10, 1979 audit report of the EPA bas questioned the eligibility of $115,748 ~n cons~ruction costs for 75% EPA~grant'funds participation previously paid to the City of Lomax. The potential amount of refund due to the EPA is $86,811; however, as stated in the EPA audit report: "This amount should not be construed as being the final determination. The amount may vary depending on the resolution by the EPA of questioned costs totaling $115,748." City officials are in the process of reviewing the EPA audit with EPA officials. It is the opinion of City officials that $45,000 to $60,000 will ultimately be refundable to the EPA. This contingent refund would have a material effect on the Water and Sewer Fund restricted assets and the reserve for sewer construction.
