HARRIS COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 185

Minutes of Meeting of Board of DirectorsAugust 24, 2020

The Board of Directors (“Board”) of Harris County Municipal Utility District No.

185 (“District”) met on August 24, 2020 by telephone conference and in accordance with the

duly posted notice of said meeting and the March 16, 2020 Order by Governor Abbott, with a

quorum of Directors present as follows:

Walter B. Deason, PresidentDeji Adeyeye, Vice PresidentJohn W. Marks, SecretaryDavid Lalor, Director

and the following absent:

Phillip B. Costa, Jr., Assistant Secretary.

Also present were Mr. Alan Hirshman, District engineer; Mr. Bob Ideus,

bookkeeper for the District; Ms. Trina Kilgore, District operator; Ms. Miranda Burks, tax

assessor-collector for the District; and Mr. W. James Murdaugh, Jr., attorney for the District.

The President called the meeting to order and declared it open for such business

as might regularly come before it.

1. The Board reviewed the minutes of the meeting held July 27, 2020. Upon

motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the Board approved the minutes as

presented.

2. The Board opened the floor for public comment. No public comment was

given.

3. Ms. Burks presented the tax assessor-collector’s report, copy attached.

She noted that 2019 taxes were 98.21% collected with current certified taxable value in the

District of $124,730,635. Upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried, the

Board approved the tax assessor-collector’s report and the checks drawn on the tax fund.

4. The Board discussed the District’s 2020 tax rate. The attorney advised

that Harris County Appraisal District had not provided certified taxable values for 2020 taxes

3

291185.002 492892v1

and thus no action could be taken with respect to the tax rate. The Board should be in a position

to address the matter at the September meeting, but in the interim the attorney directed the

Board’s attention to a memorandum from the law firm discussing new procedures for

consideration in setting tax rates in 2020 and going forward.

5. Mr. Ideus presented the bookkeeper’s report, copy attached. He noted a

favorable 10-month budget-to-actual comparison and stated that he would provide a draft budget

prior to the September meeting so that the Board would be able to adopt a budget for the next

fiscal year at that time. Subject to that discussion, upon motion duly made, seconded, and

unanimously carried, the Board approved the bookkeeper’s report and the payment of the checks

listed thereon. The Board discussed the required review of the District’s investments in

compliance with Senate Bill 253. The Board requested that the District’s bookkeeper and

investment officer review the list promulgated by the State Comptroller and monitor it

periodically to prevent violations of Senate Bill 253.

6. Ms. Kilgore presented the operations report, copy attached. She noted 40

active connections with 99% water accountability. Seven bacteriological tests had been

performed, all with good results. No excursions had occurred at the sewage treatment plant. She

further advised that the inspections of the District’s ground storage and hydropneumatic tanks

had been completed, and that her office was in the process of obtaining estimates for the cost of

work required. She also noted the operator’s schedule for valve survey repair items. Finally, she

confirmed that the Last Wishes enterprise in the District continued to cause no problems as far as

discharge into the sanitary sewer system was concerned. No accounts were presented for writing

off. However, the operator presented one account for termination of service due to delinquent

payment and stated that the account in question has been given written notification of the

opportunity to appear, either in person or in writing, at the Board meeting to contest, explain, or

correct the charges, services, or disconnection. The operator noted that the account has neither

attended the Board meeting nor contacted the operator’s office or the District to contest or

explain the charges. After discussion, upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously

carried, the Board authorized the District’s operator to proceed with termination of utility service

to said account pursuant to the provisions of the District’s Rate Order.

4

391185.002 492892v1

7. The Board discussed its annual review of the District’s Code of Ethics

which had been distributed previously. After review it was agreed that the Code of Ethics was in

good form and that no changes or modifications were advisable or necessary.

8. The Board discussed the District’s Industrial Waste Order, a draft of

which was provided to the Board. The attorney stated that additional changes were in order and

that therefore action on an amended, updated Industrial Waste Order would be postponed until

the September meeting. Ms. Kilgore also confirmed that she had reviewed the District’s Rate

Order as part of an annual discussion and that she was recommending no changes or

amendments. The Board previously had received a copy of the District’s current Rate Order.

9. Mr. Hirshman presented the engineer’s report, copy attached. He

confirmed that he and the operator continue to work on their list for repairs and/or improvements

at the District’s water plant and would have recommendations to present at the September

meeting. He also discussed traffic safety issues at the sewage treatment plant site and was

awaiting a response from Harris County to his request for a traffic study for installation of

flashing lights at a nearby stop sign. In the meantime, at the Board’s request he agreed to

investigate the feasibility and costs of the District’s installing its own flashing lights on the fence

at the lift station site. He agreed to coordinate with the operator on the matter and report at the

next meeting.

There being no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was

adjourned.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Municipal Utility District Clients

FROM: Smith, Murdaugh, Little & Bonham, L.L.P.

RE: Senate Bill 2; Texas Property Tax Reform and Transparency Act of 2019

DATE: August 4, 2020=====================================================================

For many years the District has been required to calculate the “effective tax rate” and the“rollback tax rate” based on the value of the average homestead in the District. If the District seta tax rate in excess of 1.08 times the effective tax rate, the District would be subject to a petitionrequiring a rollback election. If the election passed, the District’s operation and maintenance taxrate would be rolled back to 1.08 times the previous year’s maintenance tax rate.

Senate Bill 2 became effective January 1, 2020. In 2020, calculations similar to theeffective tax rate and rollback tax rate calculations will be performed, but the rates will bereferred to as the “voter-approval rate,” “mandatory tax election rate” and “unused incrementrate1”. The calculations are essentially the same as in previous years but the limitations havechanged and exceeding the limitations may result in an automatic election without the necessityof a petition, depending on which of three categories the District falls into. The following are thethree categories established by the legislature:

a) LOW TAX RATE DISTRICTS (TWC 49.23601) are districts that levy amaintenance tax of 2.5 cents or less. Low Tax Rate Districts will continue to besubject to the 8% increase limit and if the limit is exceeded an election to approvethe tax rate as set is automatic. If the election fails, the maintenance tax ratewould be rolled back so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approval rate;

b) DEVELOPED DISTRICTS (TWC 49.23602) are districts that have financed,completed and issued bonds to pay for all land, works, improvements, facilities,plants, equipment and appliances necessary to serve at least 95% of the projectedbuild-out of the District. If a Developed District sets a total tax rate higher thanthe mandatory tax election rate increase limit of 3.5%, there will be an automatic

1 Per Texas Water Code §49.23602 (a) (3), “unused increment rate” has the meaning assigned by §26.013, TexasTax Code, which provides the definition and formula for calculation. In essence, the unused increment rate is thesum of the differences between the voter approval rate and the tax rate actually set for the preceding three years.However, under §26.013, the 2020 unused increment rate is $0.00.

19

election to approve the tax rate as set. If the election fails, the maintenance taxrate would be rolled back so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approvalrate; and

c) DEVELOPING DISTRICTS (TWC 49.23603) are districts that are not a Low TaxRate District or a Developed District. The tax rate increase limit remains 8% andexceeding the limit is subject to an election to approve the tax rate as set uponpetition of three percent (3%) or more of the qualified voters in the District. If apetition is received and the election fails, the maintenance tax rate would be rolledback so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approval rate.

There is a provision that gives some relief if all or a portion of a Developed District is ina declared disaster area. Specifically, §49.23602 (d) of the Water Code provides that if any partof a Developed District is located in an area declared a disaster during the current tax year, theDistrict’s board may utilize the Low Tax Rate District provisions (8% increase limit) to calculatethe voter-approval tax rate, determine whether an election is required, and give the notice of theDistrict’s tax rate hearing. If the District adopts a combined tax rate that would impose more than8% of the amount of tax imposed in the previous year on a residence homestead, there will be anautomatic election on whether to approve the adopted tax rate. If the election fails, themaintenance tax rate would be rolled back so that the total tax rate is equal to the voter-approvalrate (8% increase limit).

Utility District No. 185Harris County, Texas

Members of the Board:

We are pleased to confirm the arrangements of our engagement and the nature of the services wewill provide to Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 185.

ENGAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE

We will audit the basic financial statements of Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 185(the District) as of and for the year ended September 30, 2020, and the related notes to the financialstatements. This audit will encompass all funds of the District.

Our audit will be conducted with the objective of expressing an opinion on the financial statements.If our opinion is other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

We will conduct our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America (GAAS). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtainreasonable rather than absolute assurance about whether the financial statements are free ofmaterial misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. An audit involves performing proceduresto obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Theprocedures selected depend on the auditoris judgment, including the assessment of the risks ofmaterial misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. An audit alsoincludes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness ofsignificant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overallpresentation of the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internalcontrol, an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements may not be detected exists, eventhough the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS.
