INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
Board of Directors
North Park Public Utility District
Harris County, Texas
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and each major
fund of North Park Public Utility District (the "District"), as of and for the year ended September 30,
2018, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the District'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.
Auditor's 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. 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 policies 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 the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants

Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and each major fund of the District as of September 30, 2018, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the Management's Discussion and Analysis and the Schedule of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balance -Budget and Actual - General Fund be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such 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 financial reporting for placing the basic fmancial 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 basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial 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 express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of fanning opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise the District's basic financial statements. The supplementary information required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality as published in the Water District Financial Management Guide is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The supplementary information, excluding that portion marked "Unaudited" on which we express no opinion or provide any assurance, has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, includmg 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, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2018
Management's discussion and analysis of North Park Public Utility District's (the "District") financial perfonnance provides an overview of the District's financial activities for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018. Please read it in conjunction with the District's fmancial
statements.
USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The basic financial statements include: (1) combined fund financial statements and government-wide financial statements and (2) notes to the financial statements. The combined fund financial statements and government-wide financial statements combine both: (1) the Statement of Net Position and Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and (2) the Statement of Activities and Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances. This report also includes required and other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FmANCIAL STATEMENTS
The District's annual report includes two financial statements combining the govemment-wide financial statements and the fund financial statements. The govemment-wide financial statements provide both long-term and short-term information about the District's overall status. Financial reporting at this level uses a perspective like that found in the private sector with its basis in full accrual accounting and elimination or reclassification of internal activities.
The Statement of Net Position includes all of the District's assets, liabilities and, if applicable, deferred inflows and outflows of resources with the difference reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the District as a whole is improving or deteriorating. Evaluation of the overall health of the District would extend to other non-financial factors.
The Statement of Activities reports how the District's net position changed during the current
fiscal year. All current year revenues and expenses are included regardless of when cash is received or paid.
-3-NORTH PARK PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2018
FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The combined statements also include fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related
accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific
activities or objectives. The District has three governmental fund types. The General Fund
accounts for resources not accounted for in another fund, customer service revenues, costs and
general expenditures. The Debt Service Fund accounts for ad valorem taxes and financial resources restricted, committed or assigned for servicing bond debt and the cost of assessing and collecting taxes. The Capital Projects Fund accounts for financial resources restricted, committed or assigned for acquisition or construction of facilities and related costs.
Governmental funds are reported in each of the financial statements. The focus in the fund financial statements provides a distinctive view of the District's governmental funds. These statements report short-term fiscal accountability focusing on the use of spendable resources and balances of spendable resources available at the end of the year. They are useful in evaluating annual financing requirements of the District and the commitment ofspendable resources for the near-tenn.
Since the government-wide focus includes the long-term view, comparisons between these two
perspectives may provide insight into the long-term impact of short-term financing decisions. The adjustments columns, the Reconciliation of the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet to the Statement of Net Position and the Reconciliation of the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities explain the differences between the two presentations and assist in understanding the differences between
these two perspectives.
NOTES TO THE FmANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accompanying notes to the financial statements provide information essential to a full understanding of the govemment-wide and fund financial statements.
OTHER INFORMATION
In addition to the financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information ("RSI"). The budgetary comparison schedule is included as RSI for the General Fund.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the District's financial position. In the case of the District, assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded liabilities by $7,065,815 as of September 3 0,2018.
A portion of the District's net position reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g. land, buildings and equipment as well as water and wastewater facilities, less any debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding).

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Net Position are different because:
Land, construction in progress and capital assets used in governmental activities are not current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as assets in the
governmental funds. 6,154,914
The difference between the net carrying amount of the refunded bonds and the reacquisition price is recorded as a deferred outflow in the governmental activities and systematically charged to interest expense over the remaining life of the old
debt or the life of the new debt, whichever is shorter. 35,434
Deferred inflows of resources related to property tax revenues and penalty and interest receivable on delinquent taxes for the 2017 and prior tax levies became part
of recognized revenues in the governmental activities of the District. 5,796
Certain liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and, therefore, are not reported as liabilities in the governmental funds. These liabilities at year-end consist of:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 1. CREATION OF DISTRICT
North Park Public Utility District, located in Harris County, Texas (the "District"), was created by a Special Act of the Texas State Legislatire, Regular Session, on June 4, 1971. Pursuant to the provisions of Chapters 49 and 54 of the Texas Water Code, the District is empowered to purchase, operate and maintain all facilities, plants and improvements necessaiy to provide
water, wastewater service, storm sewer drainage, irrigation, solid waste collection and disposal,
including recycling, and to construct and maintain parks and recreational facilities for the residents of the District. The District is also empowered to contract for or employ its own peace officers with powers to make arrests and to establish, operate and maintain a fire department to perform all fire-fighting activities within the District. The District does not currently provide for police protection or fire-fighting services. The first bonds were sold on June 7, 1979.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTmG POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ("GASB"), In addition, the accounting records of the District are maintained generally in accordance with the Water District Financial Management Guide published by the Commission.
The District is a political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by an elected board. GASB has established the criteria for determining whether an entity is a primary government or a component unit of a prmary government. The primary criteria are that it has a separately elected governing body, it is legally separate, and it is fiscally independent of other state and local governments. Under these criteria, the District is considered a primary government and is not a component unit of any other government. Additionally, no other entities meet the criteria for inclusion in the District's financial statement as component units.
Financial Statement Presentation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GASB Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards Part II, Financial Reporting ("GASB Codification").
The GASB Codification sets forth standards for external financial reporting for all state and local government entities, which include a requirement for a Statement of Net Position and a Statement of Activities. It requires the classification of net position into three components: Net Investment in Capital Assets; Restricted; and Unrestricted. These classifications are defined as follows:
17-NORTH PARK PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT
NOTES TO THE FmANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
• Net Investment in Capital Assets - This component of net position consists of capital assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are
attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvements of those assets.
• Restricted Net Position - This component of net position consists of external constraints placed on the use of assets imposed by creditors (such as through debt covenants),
grantors, contributors, or laws or regulation of other governments or constraints imposed
by law through constihitional provisions or enabling legislation.
• Unrestricted Net Position - This component of net position consists of assets that do not meet the definition of Restricted or Net Investment in Capital Assets.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, generally it is the District's
policy to use restricted resources first.
Govemment-Wide Financial Statements
The Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities display information about the District as a whole. The District's Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities are combined with the governmental fund financial statements. The District is viewed as a special-purpose government and has the option of combining these financial statements.
The Statement of Net Position is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report on
the full accmal basis, economic resource basis, which recognizes all long-term assets and
receivables as well as long-term debt and obligations. Any amounts recorded due to and due from other funds are eliminated in the Statement of Net Position.
The Statement of Activities is reported by adjusting the governmental fund types to report only
items related to current year revenues and expenditures. Items such as capital outlay are
allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. Internal activities between governmental funds, of any, are eliminated by adjustment to obtain net total revenues and expenses of the government-wide Statement of Activities.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)
Fund Financial Statements
As discussed above, the District's fund financial statements are combined with the govemment-wide financial statements. The fund financial statements include a Governmental Funds Balance Sheet and a Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund
Balances.
Governmental Funds
The District has three governmental funds and considers these funds to be major funds.
General Fund - To account for resources not required to be accounted for in another fund, customer service revenues, costs and general expenditures.
Debt Service Fund - To account for ad valorem taxes and financial resources restricted,
committed or assigned for servicing bond debt and the cost of assessing and collecting taxes. Capital Projects Fund - To account for financial resources restricted, committed or assigned for acquisition or construction of facilities and related costs.
Basis of Accounting
The District uses the modified accrual basis of accounting for governmental fund types. The
modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes revenues when both "measurable and available."
Measurable means the amount can be determined. Available means collectable within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. The District considers revenues reported in governmental funds to be available if they are collectable within 60 days
after year-end. Also, under the modified accrual basis of accounting, expenditures are recorded
when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on long-term debt, which are recognized as expenditures when payment is due.
Property taxes considered available by the District and included in revenues include taxes collected during the year and taxes collected after year-end, which were considered available to defray the expenditures of the current year. Deferred inflows of resources related to property tax revenues are those taxes which the District does not reasonably expect to be collected soon enough in the subsequent period to finance current expenditures.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Basis of Accounting (Continued)
Amounts transferred from one fund to another fund are reported as other financing sources or uses. Loans by one fund to another fund and amounts paid by one fund for another fund are reported as interfund receivables and payables in the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet if there is intent to repay the amount and if the debtor fund has the ability to repay the advance on a timely basis.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets, are reported in the govemment-wide Statement of Net Position. All capital assets are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost if actual historical cost is not available. Donated assets are valued at their fair market value on the date donated. Repairs and maintenance are recorded as an expenditure in the governmental fund incurred and as an expense in the govemment-wide Statement of Activities. Capital asset additions, improvements and preservation costs that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Developer interest, engineering fees and certain other costs are capitalized as part of the asset. Assets are capitalized, including infrastructure assets, if they have an original cost of $20,000 or more and a useful life of at least two years. Depreciation is calculated on each class of depreciable property using no salvage value and the straight-line method of depreciation. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Years
Buildings 40
Water System 10-45 Wastewater System 10-45 Drainage System 10-45 All Other Equipment 3-20 Budgeting
In compliance with governmental accounting principles, the Board of Directors annually adopts an unappropriated budget for the General Fund. The budget was not amended during the current
fiscal year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2018
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTmG POLICIES (Continued)
Pensions
The District has not established a pension plan as the District does not have employees. The Internal Revenue Service has determined that fees of office received by Directors are wages subject to federal income tax withholding for payroll tax purposes only.
Measurement Focus
Measurement focus is a term used to describe which transactions are recognized within the various financial statements. In the govemment-wide Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities, the governmental activities are presented using the economic resources
measurement focus. The accounting objectives of this measurement focus are the determination
of operating income, changes in net position, financial position, and cash flows. All assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows and outflows of resources associated with the activities are reported. Fund equity is classified as net position.
Governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or financial flow measurement focus.
Accordingly, only current assets and current liabilities are included on the Governmental Funds Balance Sheet, and the reported fund balances provide an indication of available spendable or appropriable resources. Operating statements of governmental fund types report increases and decreases in available spendable resources. Fund balances in governmental funds are classified using the following hierarchy:
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.
Restricted: amounts that can be spent only for specific purposes because of constitutional provisions, or enabling legislation, or because of constraints that are imposed externally.
Committed: amounts that can be spent only for purposes determined by a formal action of the Board of Directors. The Board is the highest level of decision-maldng authority for the District. This action must be made no later than the end of the fiscal year. Commitments may be established, modified, or rescinded only through ordinances or resolutions approved by the
Board. The Disb-ict does not have any committed fund balances.
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. The District has not adopted a formal policy regarding the assignment of fund balances and does not have any assigned fund balances.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTmG POLICIES (Continued)
Measurement Focus (Continued)
Unassigned: all other spendable amounts in the General Fund.
When expenditures are incurred for which restricted, committed, assigned or unassigned fund balances are available, the District considers amounts to have been spent first out of restricted funds, then committed funds, then assigned funds, and finally unassigned funds.
Accpunting 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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expendihires during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates

The bonds are payable from the proceeds of an ad valorem tax levied upon all property subject to taxation within the District, without limitation as to rate or amount.
During the year ended September 30, 2018, the District levied an ad valorem debt service tax at the rate of $0.195 per $100 of assessed valuation, which resulted in a tax levy of $431,254 on the adjusted taxable valuation of $220,793,266 for the 2017 tax year. The bond orders require the District to levy and collect an ad valorem debt service tax sufficient to pay interest and principal on bonds when due and the cost of assessing and collecting taxes.

NOTE 8. NORTH HARRIS COUNTY REGIONAL WATER AUTHORITY
The District is located within the boundaries of the North Harris County Regional Water Authority (the "Authority"). The Authority was created under Article 16, Section 59 of the Texas Constitution by House Bill 2965 (the "Act"), as passed by the 76th Texas Legislature, in
1999. The Act empowers the Authority to provide for the conservation, preservation, protection, recharge and prevention of waste of groundwater, and for the reduction of groundwater withdrawals. The Authority has entered into a contract for purchase of surface water from the City of Houston, Texas to assure that its participants comply with the Han-is-Galveston Subsidence District ("HGSD") pumpage requirements, which mandate that districts within HGSD boundaries, including the District, convert a percentage of their water use to surface water
over a period of time.
The Authority currently charges a fee, based on the amount of water pumped from a well, to the owner of wells located within the boundaries of the Authority, unless exempted. This fee enables the Authority to fulfill its purpose and regulatory functions. The current rate is $3.40 per 1,000 gallons of water pumped from each well. The District recorded an expenditure of $640,024 for fees assessed during the current fiscal year.
NOTE 9. RISK ASSESSMENT
