Honorable Betty Westercbil and Monbers ofthe City Council

City of Leesville Leesville, Louisiana

We have audited the accompanyiag financial statements ofthe govemmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining flmd information ofthe City of Leesville as of and for the year ended Jime 30,2009, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements ofthe City's primary govemment as listed in the table of contents. These fmancial 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 fmancial audits contained in Govemment 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 stateanents are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of intemal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe City's intemal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes exanaining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statemaits, assessing the accounting principles used and the 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.

The financial statements do not include financial data for the City's legally separate component units. Accounting principles generally acc^ted in the United States of America require the financial data for those component tmits to be reported with the fmancial data ofthe City's primary government unless the City also issues financial statements for the financial reporting entity that include the financial data of its con^onent units. The City has not issued such reporting entity financial statements.

In our opinion, because ofthe omission ofthe discretely presented corq)onent units, as discussed above, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position ofthe aggregate discretely presented component units ofthe City of Leesville, as of June 30, 2009, or the changes in financial position thereof for the year then ended.

Further, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position ofthe govemmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fijnd, and the aggregate remaining fimd information for the primary govemment of the City of Leesville, as of June 30, 2009, and the respective changes in financial position and cash flows, where appHcable, thereof for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In accordance with Govemment Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated December 31,2009 on our consideration ofthe City's intemal control over financial rq)orting 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 intemal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing and not to provide an opinion on the intemal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Govemment Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results of our audit.

The Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Budgetary Comparison Schedules as listed in the table of contents, are not a required part ofthe basic financial statements but are supplemental information required by the Govemmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of n ianagement regarding the methods of measurement and presentation ofthe required supplemental information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying supplemental information identified in the table of contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying other information, as listed in the table of contents, has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on it.

City of Leesville Management^ Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)

June 30,2009

Reporting the City as a Whole

Tfie Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities Our analysis ofthe City as a whole begins with the govemment-wide financial statements. One ofthe most important questions asked about the Ci^s finances is, "Is the City as a whole better off or worse off as a result ofthe year's activities?" The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, which appear first in the City's financial statements, report information about the City as a whole and its activities in a way that helps answer this question. We prepare these statements to include all assets and liabilities, using the accrual basis of accounting, which is similar to the accounting used by most private-sector companies. All ofthe current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid.

These two statements report the City's net assets - the difference between assets and liabilities, as reported in the Statement of Net Assets - as one way to measure the City's financial health, or financial position. Over time, increases or decreases in the City's net assets as reported in the Statement of Activities are one indicator of whether ]Xs financial health is improving or deteriorating. The relationship between revenues and expenses is the City's operating results. However, the City's goal is to provide services to our citizens, not to generate profits as commercial entities do. One must consider other non-financial factors, such as the quality of police and fire protection, the conditions ofthe City's roads, and the quality of water, sewer, and sanitation systems to assess the overall health of the City.

In the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities, we divide the City into two kinds of activifies:

Govemmental Activities - Most ofthe City's basic services are reported here, including the police, fire, public works, parks and recreation, and general admmistration. Sales taxes, property taxes, fi-anchise fees, and state and federal grants finance most of these activities.

Business-type Activities - The City charges a fee to customers to help it cover all or most of the cost of certain services rt provides. The City's water, sewer, and sanitation systems are reported here.

Reporting the City^s Most Significant Funds

Fund Financial Statements

The City's fund financial statements provide detailed information about the most significant funds but not the City as a whole. Some funds are required to be established by State law. However, the City establishes oflier funds to help it control and manage money for particular purposes (like the capital project fiind) or to show that it is meeting legal responsibilities for using certain taxes, grants, and other money. The City's two kinds of funds - govemmental and proprietary - use different accounting approaches:

Govemmental fimds - Govemmental fund reporting focuses on showing how money flows into and out of funds and the balances left at year-end that are available for spending. They are reported using an accounting metiiod called modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash. The governmental fiind statements provide a detailed short-term view ofthe City's operations and the services it provides. Govemmental fimd information helps you determine whether &ere are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City's programs. We describe the relationship (or differences)

City of Leesville Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)

June 30,2009

between govemmental activities (reported in the Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities) and govemmental fimds in the reconciliations (Statements D and E).

Proprietary funds - When the City charges customers for the services it provides, these services are generally reported in proprietary fimds. Proprietary fimds are reported in the same way that all activities are reported in the Statranent of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities. In fact, the City's utility enterprise fimd (a coniponent of proprietary funds) are the same as business-type activities we report in the govemment-wide financial statements but provide more detail and additional information, sudi as cash flows, for proprietary fiinds.

As reported in the Statement of Activities, the cost of all govemmental activities this year was $7,630,535. The amotint that our taxpayers ultimately financed for these activities through City taxes was only $4,905,835 because some ofthe cost was paid by those who directly benefited from the programs ($ 1,367,524) or by other govemments and organizations that subsidized certain programs with grants and contributions ($ 1,043,131). The remaining cost was paid fix>m miscellaneous revenues and fund balance.

June 30, 2009

• The 2005 sales tax bond capital project fimd had a decrease of $540,612 in fimd balance to $45,901 for 2009. The decrease is due to the swimming pool renovations.

GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS

The City*s actual revenues equals the final budgeted revenues due to the City adapted the final budget after year end, which is not prohibited by State law.

Overall actual expenditures were $10,006 more than budgeted expenditures. However, budgeted revenue equaled actiwl revenue.

When comparing original budgeted revenues to final budgeted revenues, a decrease of $77,385, which is mainly due to a general overall decrease in revenues due to not budgeting a transfer in from water department The increase of $77,153 in expenditures when comparing original budget to fmal budget is due to increase expenses in insurance liability and annexation cost.

City of Leesville Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A)

June 30,2009

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGETS Our elected and appointed officials and citizens consider many factors when setting the City's budget and tax rates. One ofthe most important factors affecting the budget is our ad valorem and sales tax collections. Approximately, 54% of total revenues in the general fimd is ad valorem and franchise taxes. We have budgeted very little change in fi^anchise and ad valorem tax revenues for the year ending June 30, 2010.

Reconciliation ofthe Governmental Funds Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances

to the Statement of Activities For the Year Ended June 30, 2009 Statement F

Tota! net change in fund balances - governmental funds $ (1,016.374)

Amounts nsported for govemmental activities in the Statement of Activities are different because:

Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However, in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeds capital outlays in the period;

Capital outlays $ 1.379,066 Depreciation (931,764) 447,302

Repayment of long-term debt is an expenditure In the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Assets. 426,653

In the Statement of Activities, certain operating expenses-compensated absences (vacations and sick leave) - are measured by the amounts eamed during the year, in the governmental funds, however, expenditures for these items are measured by the amount of financial resources used (essentially, the amounts actually paid). This year,-vacation and sick time eamed $317,650 was more than the amounts used ($234,540) by $83,110. (83,110)

Interest on long-term debt in the Statement of Activities differs from the amount reported in the govemmental funds because interest is recognized as an expenditure in the funds when it is due, and thus requires the use of current financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, however, interest expense Is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due. 26,785

All revenues, expenses and changes in fund net assets (deficits) of the Intemal Service fund are reported as Proprietary Fund type in the financial statement but included as govemmental activities In the govemment-wide financial statement. (5,628)

The Statement of Activities reflects the effects of the disposition of capital assets during the year. The cost less the depreciation (net value) ofthe items disposed of during the year are not reflected In the fund balance. (557)

Certain timing differences exist between the recognized expenditures in the govemmental funds and the recognition of expenditures in the Statement of Activities.

City of Leesville Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

June 30, 2009

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accon^anying financial statements ofthe City of Leesville have been prepared in conformity vi'ith accoiinting princ^les generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Govenimental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for estabhshing govemmental accounting and financial reporting principles.

A REPORTING ENTITY The City of Leesville was incorporated by proclamation ofthe Governor on February 15, 1900. The City operates under the council-administrator form of government, governed by the mayor and a seven-member board. The City is located in the parish of Vernon and has a population of approximately 6,000.

As the goveming authority ofthe City, for reporting purposes, the City of Leesville is considered a separate financial reporting entity. The fmancial reporting entity consists of (a) the primary govemment (the City), (b) organizations for which the primary government is financially accountable, and (c) other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.

Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 14 established criteria for determining which component units should be considered part of the City of Leesville for financial reporting purposes. The basic criterion for including a potential component unit within the reporting entity is financial accountability. The GASB has set forth criteria to be considered in determining financial accountability. This criterion includes:

1. Appointing a voting majority of an organization's governing body, and a. The ability of the municipality to impose its will on that organization and/or b. The potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose specific financial

burdens on the City. 2. Organizations for which the City does not appoint a voting majority but are fiscally dependent on the City. 3. Organizations for which the reporting entity financial statements would be misleading if data of the

organization were not included because ofthe nature or significance ofthe relationship.

The City has two component units, which are legally separate fiom the City. The voters ofthe City of Leesville elect the City Marshal and the City Judge. This report does not include these component units. Complete financial statement for each ofthe two component units can be obtained fix)m their respective administrative offices.

The Leesville Housing Authority is accountable to the City since the City Council ^points the Authority's board members. However, since the City does not have the ability to impose it's will on the Authority and no financial benefit/burden relationship exists, the City is not considered financially accountable for the Authority. Accordingly, the Authority is not considered part ofthe City for financial reporting purposes.

B. FUND ACCOUNTING The City uses funds to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. A fimd is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that comprises its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues, and expenditures. Fund accountiDg is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions relating to certain government functions or activities.

Funds are classified into two categories; govemm^tal and proprietary. Each category, in turn, is divided iato separate "fund types." Govemmental fimds are used to account for a government's general activities, where the focus of attention is on the providing of services to the pubhc as opposed to proprietary fimds where the focus of attention is on the recovering ofthe cost of providing services to the public or other agencies through service charges or user fees.

City of Leesville Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

June 30, 2009

Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held for others. The City's current operations require the use of govemmental and proprietary flmd types described as follows:

Govemmental Funds

General Fund - is the general operating flmd of the City. It accounts for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in other fimds.

Sales Tax Special Revenue Fund - accounts for the proceeds of a one-percent (1 %) City sales and use tax. The sales tax was renewed July 1, 2005 for a period of twenty-five (25) years.

Pubhc Safety Special Revenue Fund - accounts for the proceeds of a one-half on one percent (1/2%) sales and use tax. This sales tax was effective April 1,2004 for a period of twelve years. In addition, this fund accounts for public safety grants and various fines and forfeitures.

Sales Tax Sinking Fund - accounts for the debt service principal and interest payments associated with the Sales Tax Bond, Series 2005.

2005 Sales Tax Bond Capital Projects Fund - accounts for the receipt ofthe proceeds ofthe Sales Tax Bond, Series 2005, and subsequent expenditure ofthe funds.

Proprietary Fund - The operations are financed and operated m a manner similar to a private business enterprise, where the intent ofthe goveming body is that the cost (expenses, including depreciation) of providing services on a continuing basis be fmanced or recovered primarily through user charges.

Enterprise Funds

Sewer Fund - accounts for the receipts of charges for services and expenditures associated with the sewer system.

Water Fund - accounts for the operations of the water system which consists of receipts of charges for services and corresponding expenditures.

Internal Service - Employee Benefit Plan - This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for and payment of benefits by the City's program.

C. MEASUREMENT FOCUS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

Government-Wide Financial Statements (GWFS) The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities displays information about the reporting govemment as a whole. Fiduciary funds are not included in the GWFS. Fiduciary funds are reported only in the Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets at the fund financial statement level.

The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities was prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabitities resulting firom exchange and exchange-like transactions are recognized when the exchange takes place. Revalues, expenses, gains, losses, assets, and liabilities resulting fi^m nonexchange transactions are recognized in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 33 "Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Transactions."

City of LeesviUe Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

June 30, 2009

Program revenues Program revenues include charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit fi'om goods, services, or privileges provided by a given fimction or segment and grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular function or segment Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are r^orted instead as general revenues.

Allocation of indirect expenses The City reports all direct expenses by function in the Statement of Activities. Direct exposes are those that are clearly identifiable with a function. Depreciation expense is specifically identified by fimction and is included in the direct expense ofeach fimction. Interest on general long-term debt is considered an indirect expense and is reported separately on the Statement of Activities.

Fund Fmancial Statements (FFS)

Govemmental Funds The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fimd is determined by its measurement focus. Govemmental fund types use the flow of current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they are "measxorable 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 pay liabilities ofthe current period. The government considers all revenues available if they are collected within 60 days after year-end. Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for unmatured principal and interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due. Compensated absences and claims and judgments are reported in a govemmental fund only if the claims are due and payable.

With this measurement focus, only current assets and current liabilities are generally included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds present increases and decreases in net current assets. The govemmental funds use the following practices in recording revenues and expenditures:

Revenues Ad valorem taxes are recorded in the year the taxes are due and payable. Ad valorem taxes are assessed on a calendar-year basis and attach as an enforceable lien and become due and payable on the date the tax rolls are filed with the recorder of mortgages. Louisiana Revised Statute 47; 1994 requires that the tax roll be filed on or before November 15 ofeach year. Ad valorem taxes become delinquent ifnot paid by December 31. The taxes are normally collected in December, January, and February ofthe current year.

Franchise taxes and intergovemmental revenues are recorded when the City is entitled to the funds.

Interest income on time deposits is recorded when the interest has been eamed and the amount is determinable.

Substantially all other revenues are recorded when they are received by the City.

Based on the above criteria, ad valorem taxes, fianchise taxes and intergovernmental revenues have been treated as susceptible to accrual.

Expenditures are generally recognized under the modified accmal basis of accounting when the related fimd liabihty is incurred.

Other Financing Source (Use) Transfers between funds that are not expected to be repaid are accounted for as other financing sources and are recognized when the underlying event occurs.

Proprietary Funds Proprietary funds are accounted for on the flow of economic resources measurement focus and use the accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recorded when eamed and expenses are recorded at the time the liabilities are incurred. With this measurement focus, all assets and aU liabihties associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. The City has elected pursuant to GASB Statement No. 20, to apply aD GASB pronoimcements and only FASB pronouncements issued before November 30, 1989.

Operating revenues and expenses Proprietary fund distinguish operating revenues and expenses fiom nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result fix)ra providing services in connection with the fund's principal ongoing operations. All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.

D. BUDGET PRACTICES Budgets are adopted on the modified accrual basis ofaccoimting, as discussed in the govemmental funds. Annual appropriated operating budgets of proposed expenditures and the means of financing them are adopted for the general and special revenue funds. Budgeted amounts are as originally adopted, or as amended fix)m time to time by the Coimcil. Budgets are adopted consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of Amaica. Budgets for capital projects are adopted on a project-length basis. Because these nonoperating budgets primarily serve as a management control function, no comparison between budgeted and actual amounts for fimds budgeted on this basis is provided in this document.

E. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Under state law, the City may deposit fimds within a fiscal agent bank organized under the laws ofthe state of Louisiana, the laws of any other state m the imion, or the laws ofthe United States of America. The City may invest in certificates and time deposits of state banks organized imder Louisiana laws and national banks having principal offices in Louisiana.

For purposes ofthe statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased.

F. INVESTMENTS Under state law, the City may invest funds in obligations ofthe United States of America, in federally insured investments, or in time deposits with state banks organized under Louisiana law and national banks having principal offices in Louisiana, Investments in marketable securities (United States Treasury Notes) are reported at their cost on Statement A, which is the same as their market value.

G. INTERNAL BALANCES (Due From/To Other Funds) During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as intemal balances on the statement of net assets and as due fi-om/to other funds in the fund financial statements. Amounts reported in the fund financial statements as intCTfiand receivables and payables are eliminated in the govemment-wide govemmental and business-type activities columns ofthe statement of net assets, except for the net residual amoxmts due between govemmental and business-type activities, which are presented as intenoal balances.

H. INVENTORIES AND PREPAID EXPENSES Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market value, using the first-in/first-out (FIFO) method. All inventories are accounted for in the Gaieral Fund as assets when purchased and recorded as expenditures when consumed. Inventory items consmned by other fimds are recorded through the interfimd receivable/payable accounts.

Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both govemment-wide and fund financial statements.

City of Leesville Notes to the Basic Financial Statements

June 30, 2009

I. CAPITAL ASSETS Capital assets are recorded at either historical cost or estimated historical cost and depreciated over their estimated useful fives (excluding salvage value). Donated capital assets are recorded at their estunated fair value at the date of donation. Although the City does not have a capitalization policy, the City's practice is to capitalize assets with cost of $1,000 or greater and infi^astructure capital assets with a cost of $25,000 or greater. Estimated useflil life is management's estimate of how long the asset is expected to meet service demands. Straight line depreciation is used for govemmental fund-type based on the following estimated usefiil lives:

Land N/A Building and Improvements 20-40 years Furniture and equipment 5-10 years Infrastructure 20-40 years

The capital assets used in the proprietary fund-type operations are included on the balance sheet of the fimd. Depreciation of all exhaustible fixed assets used by the proprietary flmd type operations are charged as an expense against operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.

Production and distribution systems 25-50 years Buildings and improvements 10-25 years Equipment and vehicles 3-8 years

J. LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term liabilities expected to be financed from govemmental funds are not reported in the balance sheet for the fund financial statements; however, such long-term obhgations are rc^rted in the Statement of Net Assets in the Govemment-Wide Financial Statements. Interest expense on long-term debt is recognized in the Government-Wide Financial Statements as the interest accmes, regardless of when it is due. Long-term liabiHties expected to be financed from proprietary fund operations are accounted for in those fiinds.

K. BOND ISSUANCE COSTS In govemmental funds, bond issuance costs are recognized in the current period. Bond issuance costs for proprietary fund types are deferred and amortized over the term ofthe bonds using the bonds-outstanding method, which approximates the effective interest method. Bond issuance costs for proprietary fimd types are recorded as deferred charges.

L. COMPENSATED ABSENCES Vested or accumulated leave is accrued in the period the habihty is incurred. Compensated absences expected to be fmanced from govemmental funds are not reported in the balance sheet ofthe Fund Financial Statements; however, compensated absences are reported in the Statement of Net Assets in the Govemment-Wide Financial Statements. Vested or accumulated leave of proprietary funds is recorded as an expense and habihty of those funds as the benefits accme to employees. No liability is recorded for compensated absences that relate to future services or that are contingent on a specific event that is outside the control ofthe employa- and «nployee.

M. RISK MANAGEMENT The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts; theft of, damage to, and destmction of assets; errors and omissions; and injuries to employees. To handle such risk ofloss, the City maintains commercial insurance policies covering its automobiles, professional liability, general liabiHty, and surety bond coverage. There were no significant reductions in insurance coverage during the year ended June 30,2009.

N. RESTRICTED NET ASSETS Certain proprietary fund assets are classified as restricted assets because tiieir use is limited by applicable bond covenants or by Council actioa Various "debt service accounts" segregate resources accumulated for debt service payments of bonds and certificates of indebtedness. "Capital additions and contingencies accounts" are used to report resources set aside to meet unexpected contingencies or to fund asset

renewals and replacement for the water system. These resources may also be used for debt service if funds are not otherwise available. "Constmction accoimts" are used to report funds received fit)m loan proceeds that are to be used for construction. It is the City's policy to first apply restricted resources when an expenditure is incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted net assets are available.

O. FUND BALANCES OF FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reserves Reserves represent those portions, of fimd equity not appropriable for expenditures or legally segregMed for a specific future use.

Debt Service This amount represents the portion of fund balance that has been reserved in the debt service fund for future payment of principal and interest on bonded debt.

Designated Fund Balance Designations of fiind balance represent tentative management plans that are subject to change.

P. INTERFUND TRANSACTIONS. Quasi-extemal transactions, if any, are accounted for as revenues or expenditures. Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures, initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of Expenditures in the fund that is reimbursed. AU other interfund transactions are reported as transfers,

Q. SUPPLEMENTAL WAGES Certain employees ofthe police and fire departments receive supplemental wages from the State of Louisiana These supplemental w^es are recognized as intergovemmental revenue and public safety expenditures in the Public Safety Special Revenue Fund.

R. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of fte financial statement and tiie reported amounts of revenues and expenditures/expenses durmg the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

S. ELIMINATION AND RECLASSIFICATIONS In the process of aggregating data for the statement of net assets and the statement of activities, some amounts reported as interfund activity and balances in fiie funds were eliminated or reclassified. Interfund receivables and payables were eliminated to minhnize the "grossing up" effect on assets and liabilities within the govemment-wide financial statements.

These deposits are stated at cost, which approximates market. Under state law, these deposits (or resulting bank balances) must be secured by federal deposit insurance or the pledge of securities owned by the fiscal agent bank. The market value ofthe pledged securities plus the federal deposit insurance must at all times equal the amount on deposit with the agent bank- These securities are held in the name of tiie pledging fiscal agent bank in a holding or custodial bank that is mutually acceptable to both parties.

Interest Rate Risk: The City only invests in savings accounts and certificate of deposits in which their policy does not address interest rate risk.

Credit Rate Risk: The City's investments at June 30, 2009 were only in certificates of deposit which do not have credit ratmgs; however, the City's policy does not address credit rate risk.

Custodial Credit Risk: Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the City's deposits may not be returned. The City follows state law requirements for its custodial credit risk policy. As of June 30,2009, the City's bank balance of $2,917,358 m which $1,227,649 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and collateralized with security held by the pledging financial institutions tmst department or agent but not in the City's name. Even though pledging securities are considered uncollateralized under provisions of GASB Statement 3, Louisiana Revised Statute 39; 1229 imposes a statutory requirement on the custodial bank to advertise and sell the pledged securities within 10 days of being notified by the City that the fiscal agent failed to pay deposited funds upon request

NOTE 8 - RISK MANAGEMENT The City is exposed to various risks ofloss related to torts; theft or damage to, and destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The City purchases commercial insurance as set forth in the following table. Settled claims did not exceed commercial coverage for the year ended June 30, 2009.

The City covers all other losses, claim settiements, and judgments from General Fund resources. The City currently rq)orts all of its risk management activities in its General Fvind. Claim expenditures and liabiHties are reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred and tiie amount of that loss can be reasonably estunated.

The City is party to legal proceedings involving suits filed against the City for various reasons. Some of these suits claim damages that are material m amoimt. The amoimt of losses, if any, that may arise from these suits cannot be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe that the City is exposed to any material losses not covered by insurance. No provision for losses is included in the financial statements.

NOTE 9 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS INSURANCE The City maintains an intemal service fimd to finance employee hospitalization/health insurance. Resources accumulated for health coverage in the trust are accounted for in the Employee Benefits Insiarance Fund (an intemal service fund). Under this program, the Employee Benefits Intemal Service Fund normally provides coverage for a maximum of $40,000 for each covered employee's (and dependent's, if applicable) qualifying health claims. The Fund maintains an aggregate retained loss per plan month. The Fimd purchases commercial insurance for healtii claims in excess of coverage provided. Under the terms ofthe agreement, the net assets ofthe Fund may only be used to provide employee benefits.

All funds ofthe City and covered employees participate in the program and make payments to the En4)loyeeBenefits Insurance Fund. The claims hability of $203,202 reported in tiie Fund at June 30, 2009, which $117,600 is considered as long-terai, is based upon GAAP, which requires that a Hability for clauns be reported if hiformation prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liabiHty has been incurred at the date

of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This estimate is based on information provided by the third party administrator. Changes in the Fund's claims habihty amoxmt in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 and the prior years were as follows:

2009 2008 2007 Balance, begmning of year $ 191,695 $155,697 $ 6,524 Current year claims 824,320 802,778 729,830 Claim payments (812,813) (766,780) (580,657) Balance, end of year $ 203,202 $ 191,695 S 155,697

Of this $203,202, $85,602 is reported as claims payable-current, which accounts for two months claims after year end. The remaining $117,600 is considered long-term, which is determined to be due within one year.

NOTE 10-LONG-TERM LIABELiriES Govemmental activities long-term liabiHties are direct obhgations and pledge the fall faith and credit ofthe City. The City has incurred these liabilities to provide funds for the acquisition and constmction of major capital additions, or to refund general obligation liabilities previously issued for these purposes. In addition, the City's obligation relative to the govemmental funds' liability for compensated absraices is reported as a govemmental activities long-term Hability. The debt obligation payments for the sales tax revenue bonds and general obHgation bonds are made by the debt service fimds. The compensated absence payments are made by the general fimd, the sales tax special revenue fimd and the public safety special revenue fund.

The City has issued two types of revenue bonds. The fu t type is utility revenue bonds whereby the City pledges mcome derived from the acquired or constructed assets to pay debt service. This long-term debt is reported in the business-type activities, in which payments are made by the Sewer and Water fimds. The second type is sales tax revenue bonds whereby the City has pledged revenue from specifically dedicated sales tax collections to pay debt service and is reported as govemmental activities long-term liabilities.

City of Leesville Notes to the Budgetary Comparison Schedule

For the Year Ended June 30,2009

A. BUDGETS

Formal budget integration (within the accounting records) is employed as a management control device. All budgets are controlled at the function level. Budget amounts included in the accompanying financial statements include the original adopted budget and all subsequent amendments. These revisions were considensd insignificant by the Council.

Budget Basis of Accounting The major govemmental funds' budgets are prepared on the cash basis of accounting. Budgeted amounts are originally adopted or amended by theCouncil. Legally, the Council must adopt a balanced budget; that is, total budgeted revenues and otiier financing sources including fimd balance must equal or exceed total budgeted expenditures and other financing uses. State statutes require the Council to amend its budgets when revenues plus projected revenues within a fund are expected to be less than budgeted revenues by five percent or more and/or expenditures within a fund are expected to exceed budgeted expenditures by five percent or more. The City approves budgets at the function level and management can transfer amounts between line items within a function.

B. EXCESS OF ACTUAL EXPENDITURES OVER BUDGETED APPROPRIATIONS

For those funds for which a budget to actual comparison was made, 2009 actual appropriations exceeded budgeted appropriations at the level of budgetary control as follows:

Public Safety-Special Revenue Fund Budeet

$3,272,379 Actual

$3,297,873

Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements

Performed in Accordance With Government Auditing Standards

Mayor and Council Members City of Leesville Leesville, Louisiana

We have audited the financial statements ofthe govemmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fimd information of the City of Leesville as of and for the year ended June 30,2009, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements and have issued our rqport thereon dated December 31,2009. We issued an adverse opinion on the aggregate discretely presented component units and an unqualified opinion on the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fond, and the aggregate remaining fund information. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards appHcable to financial audits contained in Govemment Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States.

Intemal Control Over Financial Reporting hi planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's intemal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe City's intemal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness ofthe City's intemal control over financial reporting.

Our consideration of intemal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the preceding paragraph and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. However, as discussed below, we identified certain deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting that we consider to be significant deficiencies.

A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of perfomung then- assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the entity's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or rqport financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement ofthe entity's financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected by the entity's intemal control. We. consider the deficiencies described in the accon^ianying Schediole of Findings as items 09-Fl, 09-F2,09-F4, and 09-F5 to be significant deficiencies in intemal control over financial reporting.

A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not he prevented or detected by the entity's intemal control.

Our consideration ofthe intemal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and would not necessarily identify all deficiencies in the intemal control that might be significant deficiencies and, accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all significant deficiencies that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, ofthe significant deficiencies described above, we consider items 09'F4 and 09-F5 to be material weaknesses.

Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are fi:ee of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compHance 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 an instance of noncompliance or other matters that is reqxiired to be r^wrted under Govemment Auditing Standards and which is described in the accompanying Schedule of Findings as item 09-F3.

The City's responses to the findings identified in our audit are described in the accompanying Corrective Action Plan for Auditor's Current Year Findings. We did not audit the City's responses and, accordingly, we express no opinion.

This report is intended solely for the information and use ofthe council members, management, others within the City, federal awarding agencies, and pass-through entities and is not iatended to be and should not be uised by anyone other than these specified parties. Although the intended use of these reports may be limited, under Louisiana Revised Statute 24:513, this report is distributed by the Office ofthe Louisiana Legislative Auditor as a public document.

Recommendations to prevent future occurrences: We recommend that the City refund to the grantor agency the excess funds received for reimbursement of costs not actually incurred and clear the liability on its books.

Reference # and title: 09-F4 Financial Accounting System

Entity-wide or program/department specific: This findmg is entity-wide.

Criteria or specific requirement: The objectives of intemal controls are to provide management with reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to p^mit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The City's intemal controls should include procedures to ensure its financial transactions are recorded and reported properly.

Condition found: When reviewing the City's information system, it was noted that the City does not have detailed password protection. Once an employee has accessed into an accounting program, then the employee is allowed to have access to aH fiinctions within that program. Due to full access, change reports should be printing and reviewed to ensure changes are not being made by unauthorized personnel. The City also does not currently have an information system policy nor a recovery plan in the event of a disaster. When reviewing the back up process, it was noted that back up tapes are not stored offsite to ensure information is safeguarded.

It was noted that old outstanding items that were voided were not properly sent to the State's unclaimed property division.

It was noted that an accounts payable listing is not prepared by the City to ensure outstanding liabihties are reflected. The City is relying on the auditor to accme accounts payable and a material journal entry was required.

During the review of compensated absences, it was determined that one City department is not properly accruing sick and vacation time. An adjustment to compensated absences was required to accurately reflect the hability for fmancial reporting. Some employees responsible for tracking compensated absences are unaware ofthe City's poHcies regarding sick and vacation time. In addition, supervisors are keeping up with their own leave and no one is approving supervisor's compensated absences. Per the City charter, specific salary amounts require board approval. All salaries were approved in total by the council; however details should be provided to assist in the approval process.

Possible asserted effect (cause and effect):

Cause: The accoxmting software has not been adapted to limit access to different modules to only those employees needing access. There is currently no information system policy in place to address back ups or a recovery plan in the event of a disaster. There is no log detailing changes to critical data and changes are not approved by City administration.

City employees have not gathered all unclaimed checks that should be forwarded to the State. There are currentiy no procedures hi place to develop an accounts payable hsting. The City's system of tracking the compensated absences is not centralized. It was also noted that not all leave has to be approved before taken.

Recommendations to prevent future occurrences: The City should establish procedures to ensure controls over financial accounting and information system are strengthened.

Reference # and title: 09-FS Inventory Controls

Entity-wide or program/department specific: This finding is entity-wide.

Criteria or specific requirement: Good internal controls require that the City maintain a system limiting access to the inventory of suppHes and fuel. Any additions and deletions to inventory should be properly documented and approved. The inventory system along with the accountiag records should be updated to the changes in inventory. At year-end, a physical coimt of inventory should be made and tlie inventory balances should be adjusted to the actual amoimt. Any large fluctuations should be investigated.

Condition found: During the review of inventory, it was noted that the City does not have good controls to ensure inventory is safeguarded and properly reported. It was also noted that the accounting books were not adjusted to the year-end counts for both the materials/supplies and fuel.

City of Leesville Summary of Prior Year Audit Findings

June 30,2009

A strong internal control system requires functions to be segregated in preparing payroll and adduig employees. There should be good segregation of duties when adding employees, entering time records, processing payroll, printing and signing checks and payroll bank reconciliations functions. Furthermore, all salary amounts for employees should have proper ^provals documented in employee files.

The City's accounting clerk prepares and posts all manual journal entries to the general ledger without having anyone approve her work. When testing tfie payroll functions, it was noted that one person performs all payroll functions as well as reconciles the bank account containing payroll transactions. In addition, during the test of payroll disbursements, six employees out of thirty did not have proper salary ^provals in the employees file.

Corrective action taken: City management has implemented new procedures in order to aid in the segregation of duties. All journal entries are approved by someone other than the preparer and are approved prior to the posting of the entry. The City finance department operates with an extremely limited staff consisting of two cashiers, one utility billing clerk, one accounts payable clerk, and one accounting/payroll clerk. City management anticipates tiiat this segregation of duties will provide for more adequate intemal controls in this area. This action has cleared the finding.

Reference # and title: 08-F3 Capital Assets

Origination date: June 30, 2007.

Entity-wide or program/department specific: This finding is entity-wide.

Condition found: In accordance with LSA-RS 24:515 (b) (1), the head of every auditee subject to audit shall maintain records of all land, buildings, improvements other than buildings, equipment and any other general fbced assets which were purchased or otherwise acquired and for which such entity is accountable. Intemal control requires a complete and adequate listing that is updated on a timely basis.

When tracing items on the depreciation schedule to the physical asset, it was noted that descriptions are too vague on the depreciation schedule for some items in order to determine if the City still has the asset In addition, the inventory listings kept by the accounts payable clerk only contain a description and a tag number. The listmgs do not contain the purchase date, purchase amount or any other information which would assist in properly tracking fiom the list to the actual asset Currently, there is no way to tie the depreciation schedule to the inventory listing. It was also noted in the test of capital assets that new asset purchases are not properly recorded. For govemmental fimds, not all assets are being recorded to capital outlay accounts. Furthermore, the capital asset purchases for enterprise funds are being recorded to capital outlay expenditure accounts rather than capital assets.

Corrective action planned: See current year fmdmg 09-F2.

Intemal control requires a complete and adequate listuig that is updated on a timely basis.

When tracing items on the asset to the depreciation schedule, it was noted that descriptions are too vague on the dq)reciation schedule for some items in order to determine if the asset is still on the listing.

When reviewing the City's information system, it was noted that the City does not have detailed password protection. Once an employee has accessed into an accounting program, then the employee is allowed to have access to all functions within that program.

During the review of compensated absences, it was determined that one City department is not properly accruing sick and vacation time. A material adjustment to compensated absences was required to accurately reflect the liabiHty for financial r^orting. Some employees responsible for tracking compensated absences are unaware ofthe City's policies regarding sick and vacation time. In addition, supervisors are keeping up with their own leave and no one is approving compensated absences. Per the City charter, specific salary amounts require board approval. All salaries were approved in total by the council; however details should be provided to assist in the approval process.

Corrective action planned: The City anticipates purchasing new city-wide financial software that will allow for user defined software access, thus allowing for the granting of individual permissions. Our current software only provides password-protection to access each individual program function. Any upgrades that would enhance security to a higher level are not avaflable through our current software provider. Back-up tapes are currentiy secured and are kept m a fire proof vault. After the purchase of new city-wide fmancial software, the City plans to outline a recovery plan which will be used in the event of a disaster.

City management will begin property reporting old outstanding utility deposit refimds to the State of Louisiana Unclaimed Property Division and in the future will provide a detailed accounts payable listing to our auditors at year-end.

City management will implement a pohcy to insure that all conpensated absences are calculated correctly and that all leave forms for department heads are properly reviewed and approved by the City Administrator. In the future. City management will provide more detailed mformation to the City Council conceming salary increases, as required by the City Charter.
