Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of tiie City of Youngsville, Louisiana, (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of the City of Youngsville, Louisiana, as of June 30, 2015, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of Matter
As discussed in Note 23 to the basic fmancial statements, the City had prior period adjustments. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the budgetary comparison information and the schedules of employer's share of net pension liability and employer contributions on pages 48 through 56 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic fmancial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the l3asic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic fmancial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to e^qjress an opinion or provide any assurance.
The City of Youngsville has omitted management's discussion and analysis that accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require to be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such missing information, although not a part of, the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who considers it to be an essential part of fmancial reporting for placing the basic fmancial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. Our opinion on the basic fmancial statements is not affected by this missing information.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City of Youngsville, Louisiana's basic financial statements. The other supplementary information on pages 58 through 74 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The comparative statements are the responsibility of management and were derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, this other supplementary information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic fmancial statements as a whole.
The prior year comparative information on the comparative statements has been derived from the City of Youngsville's 2014 financial statements, which was subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to die underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and, in our opinion, was fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements from which they have been derived.
The various schedules have not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on them.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 15, 2015, on our consideration of the City of Youngsville, Louisiana's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds
to the Statement of Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2015
Total net changes in fund balances at June 30, 2015 per Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances $ 641,025
The change in net position reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities is different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense.
Capital outlay which is considered expenditures on Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances $ 5,689,663
Depreciation expense for the year ended June 30, 2015 (1,345,551) 4,344,112
Bond proceeds are reported as financing sources in governmental funds and thus contribute to the change in fund balance. In the statement of net position, however, issuing debt increases long-term liabilities and does not affect the statement of activities. Similarly, repayment of principal and capital leases are recorded as expenditures in the governmental funds but reduce liability in the statement of net position. Also governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities:
Proceeds fi-om issuance of bonds (3,500,000) Principal paid on long-term debt 1,574,000 Principal paid on capital lease 36,899 Amortization of bond discount (5,087) (1,894,188)
Governmental funds record bond interest expense when the payments are made. Bond interest payments owed for the current fiscal year which will be paid during the next fiscal year were accrued and are recorded as an expense in the statement of activities. (95,034)
Pension ejqrense not requiring the use of current economic sources and, therefore, not recorded as a fund expenditure 29,773

CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying financial statements of the City of Youngsville (the City) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. GAAP includes all relevant Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) pronouncements. The accounting and reporting framework and the more significant accounting policies are discussed in subsequent subsections of this note.
A. Financial Reporting Entity
The City of Youngsville was incorporated under the provisions of the Lawrason Act. The City operates under the Mayor-Board of Aldermen form of government.
This report includes all funds that are controlled by or dependent on the City executive and legislative branches (the Mayor and Board of Aldermen). Control by or dependence on the City was determined on the basis of budget adoption, taxing authority, authority to issue debt, election or appointment of governing body, and other general oversight responsibility.
Based on the foregoing criteria, certain governmental organizations are not part of the City and are thus excluded from the accompanying financial statements. These organizations include the Youngsville Volunteer Fire Department and the Youngsville Auxiliary Police Department. Although the City does provide facilities and some of their financing, no control is exercised over their operations.
B. Basis of Presentation
Government-Wide Financial Statements (GWFS)
The statement of net position and statement of activities display information about the reporting government as a whole. They include all funds of the reporting entity. The statements distinguish between govemmental and business-type activities. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange revenues. Business-type activities are fmanced in whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or services.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues for the business-type activities of the City and for each fimction of the City's governmental activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and, therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Program revenues include (a) fees, fines, and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs, and (b) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.

CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
Fund Financial Statements
The accounts of the City are organized and operated on the basis of funds. A fund is an independent fiscal and accounting entity with a separate set of self-balancing accounts. Fund accounting segregates funds according to their intended purpose and is used to aid management in demonstrating compliance with finance-related legal and contractual provisions. The minimum number of funds is maintained consistent with legal and managerial requirements.
The various funds of the City are classified into two categories: governmental and proprietary. The emphasis on fund financial statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. A fund is considered major if it is the primary operating fund of the City or meets the following criteria;
a. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of that individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 10 percent of the corresponding total for all funds of that category or type: and
b. Total assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures/expenses of the individual governmental or enterprise fund are at least 5 percent of the corresponding total for all governmental and enterprise funds combined.
The major funds of the City are described below:
Governmental Funds -
General Fund
The General Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds
1968 Sales Tax Fund -
The 1968 Sales Tax Fund is used to account for the proceeds of a one percent sales and use tax that is legally restricted for expenditures for specific purposes.
1981 Sales TaxFund-
The 1981 Sales Tax Fund is used to account for the proceeds of a one percent sales and use tax that is legally restricted for expenditures for specific purposes.
1999 Sales Tax Fund -
The 1999 Sales Tax Fund is used to account for the proceeds of a half percent sales and use tax that is legally restricted for expenditures for specific purposes.
Recreational Facility Sales Tax Fund -
The Recreational Facility Sales Tax Fund is used to account for the proceeds of a one percent sales and use tax that is legally restricted for expenditures for specific purposes.
19
CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
Debt Service Fund - General Obligation Bonds Fund -
The General Obligation Bonds Fund is used to accumulate monies for payment of the City's general obligation bonds, which are being financed by the 1968, 1999, and Recreational Facilities sales tax revenues, and ad valorem taxes.
Capital Projects Funds
Street Improvements and Construction Fund —
The Street Improvements and Construction Fund is used to account for the improvements and construction of various street projects using proceeds from grant revenue and issuance of bonds.
Recreational Facility Construction Fund -
The Recreational Facility Construction Fund is used to account for the construction of the recreational facility and multi-purpose community center using proceeds from grant revenue and issuance of bonds. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the recreational facility was completed and the assets were transferred to the Sports Complex Fund.
Proprietary Funds -
Enterprise Funds
Enterprise funds are used to account for operations (a) that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business enterprises - where the intent of the governing body is that the costs (expenses, including depreciation) of providing goods or services to the general public on a continuing basis be financed or recovered primarily through user charges; or (b) where the governing body has decided that periodic determination of revenues earned, expenses incurred, and/or net income is appropriate for capital maintenance, public policy, management control, accountability, or other purposes. The City of Youngsville's enterprise funds are the Utility Fund and the Sports Complex Fund.
Measurement Focus/Basis of Accounting
Measurement focus is a term used to describe "which" transactions are recorded within the various financial statements. Basis of accounting refers to "when" transactions are recorded regardless of the measurement focus applied.
Measurement Focus
On the government-wide statement of net position and the statement of activities, both governmental and business-type activities are presented using the economic resources measurement focus as defmed in item b. below.
In the frmd financial statements, the "current financial resources" measurement focus or the "economic resources" measurement focus is used as appropriate:
20
CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
a. All governmental funds utilize a "current financial resources" measurement focus. Only current financial assets and liabilities are generally included on their balance sheets. Their operating statements present sources and uses of available spendable financial resources during a given period. These funds use fund balance as their measure of available spendable financial resources at the end of the period.
b. The proprietary fund utilizes an "economic resources" measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination of operating income, changes in net position (or cost recovery), financial position, and cash flows. All assets and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with their activities are reported. Proprietary fund equity is classified as net position.
Basis of Accounting
In the government-wide statement of net position and statement of activities, both governmental and business-type activities are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources resulting from exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place.
Governmental fund fmancial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter 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 end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures (including capital outlay) generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures are recorded only when payment is due.
The proprietary funds utilize the accrual basis of accounting. Under the accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recorded when the liability is incurred or economic asset used.
D. Assets. Deferred Outflows. Liabilities. Deferred Inflows and Equitv
Cash and interest-bearing deposits
For purposes of the statement of net position, cash and interest-bearing deposits include all demand accounts, savings accounts, and certificates of deposits of the City. For the purpose of the proprietary fund statement of cash flows, "cash and cash equivalents" include all demand and savings accounts, and certificates of deposit or short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Under state law, the City may invest in United States bonds, treasury notes, or certificates. Investments are stated at amortized cost.
21
CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
Interfund receivables and payables
During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds that may result in amounts owed between funds. Those related to goods and services type transactions are classified as "due to and from other hinds." Short-term interfund loans are reported as "interfund receivables and payables." Long-term interfund loans (noncurrent portion) are reported as "advances from and to other funds." Interfund receivables and payables between funds within governmental activities are eliminated in the statement of net position.
Receivables
In the government-wide statements, receivables consist of all revenues earned at year-end and not yet received. Major receivable balances for the governmental activities include sales and use taxes and franchise taxes. Business-type activities report customer's utility service receivables as their major receivables. Uncollectible utility service receivables are recognized as bad debts through the establishment of an allowance account at the time information becomes available which would indicate the uncollectibility of the particular receivable. The allowance for uncollectibles for customers' utility receivables was $54,114 at June 30, 2015. Unbilled utility service receivables resulting from utility services rendered between the date of meter reading and billing and the end of the month, are recorded at year end.
Inventories
Inventory of the Sports Complex Fund consists of supplies purchased which are valued at cost (first-in, first out).
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 or financial statements. Capital assets are capitalized at historical cost or estimated cost if historical is not available. Donated assets are recorded as capital assets at their estimated fair market value at the date of donation. The City maintains a threshold level of $ 1,000 or more for capitalizing capital assets.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets lives are not capitalized. Prior to July 1, 2001, governmental fimds' infrastructure assets were not capitalized. These assets have been valued at estimated historical cost.
Depreciation of all exhaustible capital assets is recorded as an allocated expense in the statement of activities, with accumulated depreciation reflected in the statement of net assets. Depreciation is provided over the assets' estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. The range of estimated useful lives by type of asset is as follows:
Buildings 40 years Sports Complex 3 0 years Equipment 5 years Utility system and improvements 20-40 years Infrastructure 20 years
22
CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
In the fund financial statements, capital assets used in governmental fund operations are accounted for as capital outlay expenditures in the governmental fund upon acquisition. Capital assets used in proprietary fund operations are accounted for the same as in the government-wide statements.
Restricted Assets
Restricted assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits and investments that are legally restricted as to their use. The restricted assets are related to capital projects constructions accounts, revenue bond accounts and utility meter deposits.
Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources
In some instances, the GASB requires a government to delay recognition of decreases in net position as expenditures until a future period. In other instances, governments are required to delay recognition of increases in net position as revenues until a future period. In these circumstances, deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources result from the delayed recognition of expenditures or revenues, respectively. The City recognizes deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources that are attributable to its pension plan.
Long-term debt
The accounting treatment of long-term debt depends on whether the assets are used in governmental fund operations or proprietary fund operations and whether they are reported in the government-wide or fund financial statements.
All long-term debt to be repaid from governmental and business-type resources are reported as liabilities in the government-wide statements. The long-term debt consists primarily of the revenue bonds payable and utility meter deposits payable.
Long-term debt for governmental funds is not reported as liabilities in the fund financial statements. The debt proceeds are reported as other financing sources and payment of principle and interest reported as expenditures. The accounting for proprietary fund long-term debt is the same in the fund statements as it is in the government-wide statements.
Compensated Absences
Vacation and sick leave are recorded as expenditures of the period in which paid. Vacation must be taken in the year accrued and cannot be carried over. Sick leave is accumulated by employees at a rate dependent upon number of years of employment. Although sick leave is available for employees when needed, it does not vest nor is it payable at termination of employment. Therefore, no liability has been recorded in the accounts as of June 30, 2015.

Equity Classifications
In the government-wide statements, equity is classified as net position and displayed in three components:
a. Net investment in capital assets - Consists of net capital assets reduced by outstanding balances of any related debt obligations and deferred inflows of resources attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets and increased by balances of deferred outflows of resources related to those assets.
b. Restricted net position - Net position is considered restricted if the use is constrained to a particular purpose. Restrictions are imposed by external organizations such as federal or state laws or buyers of the City's debt. Restricted net position is reduced by liabilities and deferred inflows of resources related to the restricted assets.
c. Unrestricted net position - Consists of all other net position that does not meet the definition of the two components and is available for general use by the City.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund equity is classified as fund balance. As such, fund balances of the governmental funds are classified as follows:
a. Nonspendable - amounts that cannot be spent either because they are in nonspendable form or because they are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
b. Restricted — amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions or enabling legislation or because of constraints that are externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or the laws or regulations of other governments.
c. Committed - amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by a formal decision of the City's Mayor and Board of Aldermen, which is the highest level of decision-making authority for the City.
d. Assigned - amounts that do not meet the criteria to be classified as restricted or committed but that are intended to be used for specific purposes determined by a formal decision of the City's Mayor and Board of Aldermen.
e. Unassigned - all other spendable amounts.

CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
When an expenditure is incurred for the purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available, the City considers restricted funds to have been spent first. When an expenditure is incurred for which committed, assigned, or unassigned fund balances are available, the City considers amounts to have been spent first out of committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds, as needed, unless the City has provided otherwise in their commitment or assignment actions.
Proprietary fund equity is classified the same as in the government-wide statements.
E. Revenues. Expenditures, and Expenses
Operating Revenues and Expenses
Operating revenues and expenses for proprietary funds are those that result from providing services and producing and delivering goods and/or services. It also includes all revenue and expenses not related to capital and related financing, noncapital financing, or investing activities.

In the fund financial statements, expenditures are classified as follows:

A. Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System of Louisiana (MPERS) -
Plan Description: The Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System is the administrator of a cost-sharing multiple-employer plan. Membership in MPERS is mandatory for any full-time police officer employed by a municipality of the State of Louisiana and engaged in law enforcement, empowered to make arrests, providing he or she does not have to pay social security and providing he or she meets the statutory criteria. MPERS provides retirement benefits for municipal police officers. The projections of benefit payments in the calculation of the total pension liability includes all benefits to be provided to current active and inactive employees through MPERS in accordance with benefit terms and any additional legal agreements to provide benefits that are in force at the measurement date. MPERS issues a publicly available financial report that may be obtained by writing to the Municipal Police Employees' Retirement System of Louisiana, 7722 Office Park Boulevard, Suite 200, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70809, or by calling (225) 929-7411.
Benefit provisions are authorized within Act 189 of 1973 and amended by LRS 11:2211-11:2233. The following is a brief description of the plan and its benefits and is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the appropriate statutes for more complete information.
Membership Prior to January 1, 2013 - A member is eligible for regular retirement after he has been a member of MPERS and has 25 years of creditable service at any age or has 20 years of creditable service and is age 50 or has 12 years creditable service and is age 55. A member is eligible for early retirement after he has been a member of MPERS for 20 years of creditable service at any age with an actuarially reduced benefit. Benefit rates are three and one-third percent of average final compensation (average monthly earnings during the highest 36 consecutive months or joined months if service was interrupted) per number of years of creditable service, not to exceed 100% of final salary. Upon the death of an active contributing member, or disability retiree, the plan provides for surviving spouses and minor children. Under certain conditions outlined in the statutes, the benefits range from forty to sixty percent of the member's average final compensation for the surviving spouse. In addition, each child under age eighteen receives benefits equal to ten percent of the member's average final compensation or $200.00 per month, whichever is greater.
Membership Commencing January 1, 2013 - Member eligibility for regular retirement, early retirement, disability and survivor benefits are based on Hazardous Duty and Non Hazardous Duty sub plans. Under the Hazardous Duty sub plan, a member is eligible for regular retirement after he has been a member of MPERS and has 25 years of creditable service at any age or has 12 years of creditable service at age 55. Under the Non Hazardous Duty sub plan, a member is eligible for regular retirement after he has been a member of MPERS and has 30 years of creditable service at any age, 25 years of creditable service at age 55, or 10 years of creditable service at age 60. Under both sub plans, a member is eligible for early retirement after he has been a member of MPERS for 20 years of creditable service at any age, with an actuarially reduced benefit from age 55. Under the Hazardous and Non Hazardons Duty sub plans, the benefit rates are three percent and two and a half percent, respectively, of average final compensation (average monthly earnings during the highest 60 consecutive months or joined months if service was interrupted) per number of years of creditable service not to exceed 100% of final salary.

CITY OF YOUNGSVILLE, LOUISIANA
Notes to Basic Financial Statements (Continued)
Upon death of an active contributing member, or disability retiree, the plan provides for surviving spouses and minor children. Under certain conditions outlined in the statues, the benefits r^ge from twenty-five to fifty-five percent of the member's average fmal compensation for the surviving spouse. In addition, each child under age eighteen receives ten percent of average final compensation or $200 per month whichever is greater. If deceased member had less than ten years of service, beneficiary will receive a refund of employee contributions only.
Cost of Living Adjustments:
The Board of Trustees is authorized to provide annual cost-of-living adjustments computed on the amount of the current regular retirement, disability, beneficiary or survivor's benefit, not to exceed 3% in any given year. The Board is authorized to provide an additional 2% COLA, computed on the member's original benefit, to all regular retirees, disability, survivors and beneficiaries who are 65 years of age or older on the cut-off date which determines eligibility. No regular retiree, survivor or beneficiary shall be eligible to receive a cost-of-living adjustment until benefits have been received at least one full fiscal year and the payment of such COLA, when authorized, shall not be effective until the lapse of at least one-half of the fiscal year. Members who elect early retirement are not eligible for a cost of living adjustment until they reach regular retirement age.
Deferred Retirement Option Plan:
A member is eligible to elect to enter the deferred retirement option plan (DROP) when he is eligible for regular retirement based on the members' sub plan participation. Upon filing the application for the program, the employee's active membership in MPERS is terminated. At the entry date into the DROP, the employee and employer contributions cease. The amount to be deposited into the DROP account is equal to the benefit computed under the retirement plan elected by the participant at date of application. The duration of participation in the DROP is thirty six months or less. If employment is terminated after the three-year period the participant may receive his benefits by lump sum payment or a true annuity. If employment is not terminated, active contributing membership into MPERS shall resume and upon later termination, he shall receive additional retirement benefit based on the additional service. For those eligible to enter DROP prior to January 1, 2004, DROP accounts shall earn interest subsequent to the termination of DROP participation at a rate of half of one percentage point below the percentage rate of return of MPERS's investment portfolio as certified by the actuary on an annual basis but will never lose money. For those eligible to enter DROP subsequent to January 1, 2004, an irrevocable election is made to earn interest based on MPERS's investment portfolio return or a money market investment return. This could result in a negative earnings rate being applied to the account.
If the member elects a money market investment return, the fiinds are transferred to a government money market account.
Initial Benefit Option Plan:
In 1999, the State Legislature authorized MPERS to establish an Initial Benefit Option program. Initial Benefit Option is available to members who are eligible for regular retirement and have not participated in DROP. The Initial Benefit Option program provides both a one-time single sum payment of up to 36 months of regular monthly retirement benefit, plus a reduced monthly retirement benefit for life. Interest is computed on the balance based on same criteria as DROP.

Contributions:
Contributions for all members are actuarially determined as required by state law but cannot be less than 9% of the employees' eamable compensation excluding overtime but including state supplemental pay.
For the year ended June 30, 2014, total contributions due for employers and employees were 41%. The employer and employee contribution rates for all members hired prior to January 1, 2013 and Hazardous Duty members hired after January 1, 2013 were 31% and 10%, respectively. The employer and employee contribution rates for all Non-Hazardous Duty members hired after January 1, 2013 were 33% and 8%, respectively. The employer and employee contribution rates for all members whose eamable compensation is less than or equal to the poverty guidelines issued by the United States Department of Health and Human Services were 33.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The actuarial required employer and employee combined contribution for June 30,2014 was 41.53%.
Non-employer contributions:
MPERS also receives insurance premium tax monies as additional employer contributions. The tax is considered support from a non-contributing entity and appropriated by the legislature each year based on an actuarial study. Non-employer contributions are recognized as revenue during the year ended June 30, 2015 and excluded fi-om pension expense.
Employer Allocations:
The schedule of employer allocations reports the required projected combined (employer and employee) contributions in addition to the employer allocation percentage. The required combined contributions are used to determine the proportionate relationship of each employer to all employers of MPERS. The employer's proportion was determined on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which contributions to the pension plan are determined. The allocation percentages were used in calculating each employer's proportionate share of pension amounts. The allocation method used in determining each employer's proportion was based on the combined (employer and employee) projected contribution effort to the plan for the next fiscal year as compared to the total of all employers' projected combined contribution effort to the plan for the next fiscal year. The combined projected contribution effort was actuarially determined by MPERS's actuary. The combined projected contribution effort was calculated by multiplying the projected future compensation of active members in MPERS on June 30, 2014 by the next fiscal year's combined actuarially required contribution rate. Projected future compensation was calculated by multiplying compensation by a payroll factor of 1.008.
Compensation was determined as follows:
a. Actual earned compensation for active members enrolled in MPERS the entire fiscal year, plus;
b. Annualized compensation for active members on June 30, 2014 enrolled in MPERS for a portion of the fiscal year. Aimualized compensation was calculated using actual compensation and the employee's date of hire.
The payroll factor was actuarially determined using salary assumptions for expected net changes in active members plus expected new hires and their payroll over the next fiscal year. The next fiscal year's net combined employer and employees' actuarially required contribution rate is 39.80%.

Pension Liabilities, Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions:
At June 30, 2015, the City reported a liability of $277,519 for its proportionate share of the Net Pension Liability. The Net Pension Liability was measured as of June 30, 2014 and the total pension liability used to calculate the Net Pension Liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of that date. The City's proportion of the Net Pension Liability was based on a projection of the City's long-term share of contributions to the pension plan relative to the projected contributions of all participating employers, actuarially determined. At June 30, 2014, the City's proportion was .044360%, which was an increase of .000868% from its proportion measured as of June 30, 2013.
For the year ended June 30, 2015, the City recognized pension expense of $38,509 less employer's amortization of change in proportionate share and differences between employer contributions and proportionate share of contributions, $212.
At June 30, 2015, the City reported deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to MPERS from the following sources:

Actuarial Assumptions:
The net pension liability was measured as the portion of the present value of projected benefit payments to be provided through the pension plan to current active and inactive employees that is attributed to those employees' past periods of service, less the amount of the pension plan's fiduciary net position.
A summary of the actuarial methods and assumptions used in determining MPERS total pension liability as of June 30, 2014 are as follows:
Actuarial cost method Entry Age Normal Cost Expected remaining service lives 4 years Investment rate of return 7.5%, net of investment expense Inflation rate 3% Projected salary increases, 1 year of service: 10.00%
including inflation and merit 2 years of service: 6.00% 3-19 years of service: 4.30% 20-29 years of service: 5.50% 30 & over years of service: 4.00%
Mortality rates RP-2000 Employee Table for active members RP-2000 Healthy Annuitant Table for healthy annuitants RP-2000 Disabled Lives Mortality Tables for disabled annuitants
The mortality rate assumption used was set based upon an experience study performed by the prior actuary on plan data for the period July 1, 2003 through June 30, 2008 and review of similar law enforcement mortality. The data was then assigned credibility weighting and combined with a standard table to produce current levels of mortality. This mortality was then projected forward to a period equivalent to the estimated duration of the System's liabilities. Annuity values calculated based on this mortality were compared to those produced by using a setback of standard tables. The result of the procedure indicated that the tables used would produce liability values approximating the appropriate generational mortality tables.
Discount Rate:
The discount rate used to measure MPERS's net pension liability was 7.5%. The projection of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed that contributions from plan members will be made at the current contribution rates and that contributions from participating employers will be made at the actuarially determined rates approved by PRSAC taking into consideration the recommendation of the System's actuary. Based on those assumptions, MPERS's fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the total pension liability.

Sensitivity of the Employer's Proportionate Share of the Net Pension Liability to Changes in the Discount Rate:
The following presents MPERS's net pension liability of the participating employers calculated using the discount rate of 7.5%, as well as what the employers' net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate that is one percentage point lower, or one percentage point higher than the current rate.
Current 1% Discount 1%
Decrease Rate Increase 6.50% 7.50% 8.50%
Net Pension Liability $ 400,691 $ 277,519 $ 174,067
Change in Net Pension Liability
The changes in MPERS's net pension liability for the year ended June 30, 2014 were recognized in the current reporting period as pension expense except as follows:
Differences between Expected and Actual E?q)erience - Differences between expected and actual experience with regard to economic or demographic factors in the measurement of the total pension liability were recognized in pension expense using the straight-line amortization method over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the pension plan. The difference between expected and actual experience resulted in a deferred inflow of resources in the amount of $4,881 for the year ended June 30, 2014.
Differences between Projected and Actual Investment Earnings - Differences between projected and actual investment earnings on pension plan investments were recognized in pension expense using the straight-line amortization method over a closed five-year period. The difference between projected and actual investment earnings resulted in a deferred inflow of resources in the amount of $62,802 for the year ended June 30, 2014.
Changes of Assumptions or Other Inputs - Changes of assumptions about ftiture economic or demographic factors or of other inputs were recognized in pension expense using the straight-line amortization method over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with pensions through the pension plan. Changes of assumptions or other inputs resulted in a deferred inflow of resources in the amount of $75 for the year ended June 30,2014.
Change in Proportion - Changes in the employer's proportionate shares of MPERS's collective net pension liability and collective deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources since the prior measurement date were recognized in employer's pension expense (benefit) using a the straight-line amortization method over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided pensions through the pension plan.
Contributions - Proportionate Share - Differences between contributions remitted to MPERS and the employer's proportionate share are recognized in pension expense (benefit) using the straight line amortization method over a closed period equal to the average of the expected remaining service lives of all employees that are provided with a pension through the pension plan. The resulting deferred inflow/outflow and amortization is not reflected in the schedule of employer amounts due to differences that could arise between contributions reported by MPERS and contributions reported by the participating employer.

(23) Prior Period Adjustments
In June 2012, the GASB approved Statement No. 68, "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions." GASB Statement No. 68 addresses accounting and financial reporting for pensions that are provided to the employees of state and local governmental employers through pension plans that are administered through trusts or equivalent arrangements that meet the criteria established by this standard. The provisions of GASB Statement No 68 were implemented by the City during the year ending June 30,2015.
During the current year, it was determined that the Chemin Metairie water improvements project in the amount of $593,139 (which was in progress at June 30, 2014) was included in capital assets in governmental activities, rather than business-type activities and the Utility Fund.
The effect of the new accounting pronouncement and the reclassification of the capital asset resulted in a restatement of previously reported net position as follows:
Governmental Business-Type Utility Activities Activities Fund
July 1,2014 net position, as previously reported Change in accounting principle;
Net effect of recording net pension liability
Reclassification of capital asset
July 1, 2014 net position, as restated

Retired: Conrad 0. Chapman, CPA* 2006
The Honorable Ken Ritter, Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen
City of Youngsville, Louisiana
We have audited, in accordance with the 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, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, and each major fund of the City of Youngsville, Louisiana (the City) as of and for the year ended June 30, 2015, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated December 15, 2015.
Interna! Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies and therefore, material weaknesses or significant deficiencies may exist that were not identified. However, as described in the accompanying summary schedule of current and prior year audit findings and management's corrective action plan, we identified a certain deficiency in internal control that we consider to be a material weakness.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. We consider the deficiency described in the accompanying summary schedule of current and prior year audit findings and management's corrective action plan as item 2015-001(IC) to be a material weakness.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that is required to be reported under Goyernment Auditing Standards.
We also noted certain matters concerning financial operations that we have reported to the management of the City in a separate letter dated December 15, 2015.
The City of Youngsville, Louisiana's Response to Findings
The City's response to the findings identified in our audit is described in the accompanying summary schedule of current and prior year audit findings and management's corrective action plan. The City's response was not subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.
Purpose of this Report
This report is intended solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control and compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Statements in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. Under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor as a public document.

The Honorable Ken Ritter, Mayor and Members of the Board of Aldermen City of Youngsville, Louisiana
During our audit of the basic financial statements of the City of Youngsville for the year ended June 30,2015, we noted the following areas in which the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations of the City could be improved. These items were also included in our management letter dated December 30, 2014 relative to our audit of the June 30, 2014 basic financial statements and are mentioned again for re-emphasis.
1. Due to the increasing size of the City's operations, it appears that the current software being utilized may not be sufficient to effectively and efficiently record transactions in an accurate manner to provide financial information to management officials.
2. City management should invest any excess cash balances in order to maximize interest earnings.
3. The City's water and sewer departments experienced operating losses of $127,648 and $95,882, respectively. Consideration should be given to increasing rates and/or decreasing expenses in these departments in order to generate a profit.
We would like to express our appreciation to you and your staff, particularly your office staff, for the courtesies and assistance rendered to us in the performance of our audit. Should you have any questions or need assistance please feel free to contact us.
