Brazos County prohibits any form of sexual harassment. Umvelcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as a basis for employment decisions affecting such individual; or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. An employee who believes he or she has been or is being subjected to sexual harassment should bring the matter to the attention of Ruth McLeod. An employee who believes sexual harassment has occurred or is occurring should report such conduct to the above person regardless of the position of the offending person. If a complaint of sexual harassment is received by any supervisor, the supervisor shall report the complaint immediately to Ruth McLeod. Nothing in this policy requires any employee complaining of sexual harassment to present the matter to the person who is the subject of the complaint. All complaints will be promptly investigated. It is intended that the privacy of the persons involved will be protected, except to the extent necessary to conduct a proper investigation. If the investigation substantiates that the complaint is valid, immediate corrective action designed to stop the harassment and prevent its reoccurrence will be taken. Such corrective action may, in appropriate instances, include discipline (up to and including discharge) of the offending person. An employee who believes he or she has been or is being subjected to sexual harassment, or who believes he or she has observed sexual harassment, and who reports the matter pursuant to this policy, shall not be retaliated against or adversely treated, with respect to terms and conditions of employment because of the making of the report. • VC) PAUEJ[ r EI 11 ACKNOWLEDGMENT I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the Brazos County's sexual harassment policy, that I have read the policy and agree to abide by it.

Jones County Judge Brazos County, Texas Dear Judge Jones: We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for Brazos County, Texas for the year ended September 30, 1996. We will audit the general-purpose financial statements of Brazos County, Texas as of and for the year ended September 30, 1996. The general-purpose financial statements consist of the combined balance sheets, the related statements of revenues and expenditures, statements of changes in fund balances and statements of cash flows for the proprietary funds and the accompanying notes to the financial statements. In addition, the financial statements will have included the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance that will be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements. Our audit will be made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and will include tests of your accounting records and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express an unqualified opinion that your financial statements are fairly presented, in all material respects, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. If our opinion is other than unqualified, we will fully discuss the reasons with you in advance. Our audit will also be a Single Audit conducted in accordance with the standards for financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States (the Yellow Book) as it relates to financial audits; the Single Audit Act of 1984; and the provisions of OMB. Circular A-128, Audits of State and Local Governments. V0 ~pAfap. 3 T7 • ( i V Page Two June 17, 1996 i . 1 Our reports will include a report on the Schedule of Federal Financial Assistance, the required reports on compliance with laws and regulations related to the financial statements and to the Federal financial assistance programs. Additionally, we will report on internal control in relation to the general-purpose financial statements and to the Federal financial assistance programs. You acknowledge that you are responsible for determining the compliance requirements and will make us aware of all such requirements. Our procedures will include tests of documentary evidence supporting the transactions recorded in the accounts, tests of the physical existence of inventories and fixed assets, and direct confirmation of certain terms, transactions, assets and liabilities by correspondence or other means with, selected customers, creditors, banks and their employees. We will request written representations from your attorneys as part of the engagement, and they may bill you for responding to this inquiry. At the conclusion of our audit, we will also request certain written representations from management about the financial statements and related matters. i r t An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; therefore, our audit will involve judgement about the number of transactions to be examined and the areas to be tested. Also, we will plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. As required by the Single Audit Act of 1984 and OMB Circular A-128, our audit will include tests of transactions related to the Federal financial assistance programs for compliance with laws and regulations and appropriate tests of the control structure over such programs. Additionally, we will perform appropriate tests related to the "general requirements" as outlined in the compliance Supplement for Single Audits of State and Local Governments (1990 edition), published by OMB. However, because of the concept of reasonable assurance and because we will not perform a detailed examination of all transactions, there is a risk that material errors, irregularities, or illegal acts, including fraud or defalcations, may exist and not be detected by us. We will advise you, however, of any matters of that nature that come to our attention. Additionally, you acknowledge the requirement in certain circumstances for us to directly report certain identified illegal acts to the oversight agency. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any matters that might be incurred during any later periods for which we were not engaged as auditors. VC)L-t PA P, 2AD • 0 i Page Three June 17, 1996 We understand that you will provide us with the basic information required for our audit and that you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information. We will advise you about appropriate accounting principles and their application and will assist in the preparation of your financial statements, but the responsibility for the financial statements remains with you. This responsibility includes the maintenance of adequate records and related internal control policies and procedures, including controls over compliance with laws and regulations, the selection and application of accounting principles, and the safeguarding of assets. You agree that your employees will assist in preparing schedules, type correspondence and confirmations we request, and will locate any invoices selected by us for testing. We expect to begin our final audit work in early November and issue our reports no later than February 20. You agree that all of the reports referenced above will be bound into one document with the general-purpose financial statements. Our fees for these services will be based op the actual time spent at our standard hourly rates, plus travel and other out-of-pocket costs such as report production, typing, postage, etc. Our standard hourly rates vary according to the degree of responsibility involved and the experience level of the personnel assigned to your audit. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered periodically as work progresses and are payable on presentation.

Alvin Jones County Judge Brazos County Brazos County Courthouse 300 East 26th Street Bryan, Texas 77803 • • RE: Estimate for proposed redistricting Dear Judge Jones: This letter is in response to your request for an estimate of the cost of legal services to the County in connection with the proposed modifications to Justice of the Peace and Constable precincts. It is my understanding that certain members of the Commissioners Court believe it r to be appropriate to reduce the number of such precincts within the County as a budgeting measure. Obviously any such changes would need to be authorized and approved by the Commissioners Court in the manner authorized by State and Federal law, and thereafter submitted to the Department of Justice for preclearance. We estimate that the breakdown of legal costs to assist the County in this matter would be as follows: ' i Attorneys Hrs. Paralegal Hrs, 1. Retrieve, review and modify 3.0 15.0 existing JP Precinct plan pursuant to Commissioners' 1 instructions; draft appropriate Resolutions / Orders i ii 2. Prepare alternate plan(s) (1.0 per plan)* (3.0 per plan)* , *(optional) C•^ r t y k . 1 Hon. Alvin Jones June 26, 1996 Page 2 3. Travel, attendance and presentation 8.0 at public hearing incorporated into Commissioners Court meeting 4. Submission of plan to Department 4.0 of Justice TOTAL 16.0 Attorney Hours 16.0 x $175 / hour = $2,800 Paralegal Hours 31.0 x $ 60 / hour = $1,860 I I. 8.0 5.0 31.0 Based upon the foregoing estimate of time, we propose that a budget of $4,660 would be appropriate for assisting the County in these matters. Obviously, the budget would be impacted by the consideration of additional redistricting plans. However, we have the capability of bringing the redistricting computer and data to the Commissioners Courtroom at which time numerous different plans can be considered and/or modified in a cost-efficient manner. In such an event, we would draft the Commissioners Court Order in a manner so that the approved plan could be attached as an Exhibit and incorporated by reference into the Order. It is my understanding that the County desires that any redistricting changes to the Justice of the Peace and Constable Precincts would not take effect until some time in 1997. Please note that the newly elected Justices of the Peace (Nov. 1996) will be able to serve out the remainder of their terms despite any subsequent changes or reductions in the number of Justice Precincts made after January 1, 1997. Thank you for the opportunity of submitting this proposal to Brazos County. In the past, we have enjoyed working with the Commissioners Court and with Ruth McLeod on these issues. If I can be of any further assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at 1-800-749- 6646. Very truly yours, J.

Data on other usages, such as agricultural and industrial, is to be incorporated if available. If not, estimates for these usages will be made from Texas Water Development Board ' , (TWDB) projections. ; A1.2 Compare the projected populations developed in A1.1 above to ; the TWDB's population projections. A1.3 Review the projected water demands for the study area, determine the total demand, and compare this demand to the TWDB projections for the same area. AIA Discuss differences between the two sets of,•projections :'with; participating entities. If difference between the master Olin projections and the TWDB projections exceeds '15 percent in any one category;. . ; then a thorough analysis must be made of the discrepancies. If master plan numbers are to be used in lieu of TWDB projections, prepare letter to TWDB justifying use of alternative numbers and ask for their concurrence. A1.5 Develop an integrated geographical information system map of regional area including: A.1.5.1 All water system facilities denoting age, capacities and service area of each facility. - A1.5.2 Areas of projected population growth and water demand information as available. It is anticipated that this information is readily available, with the possible exception of the small water users, and the major work task would be bringing it together into one layout. A2. Determination of Groundwater Availability A2.1 Collect and review previous reports prepared on the availability of groundwater in the area by the Cities of Bryan and College Station, Texas A&M University, the TWDB, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Collect and review data for large-capacity wells, and sand thickness data from water well or oil and gas well electric logs drilled in the area to help estimate the dependable yield of the groundwater in the study area. • A2.2 Estimate the time when the area demand for water exceeds dependable yield from the aquifer. If master plan information does not project far enough in the future, TWDB population and demand projections will be used. A2.3 Collect and review records for potable water production wells in the study area to include well' age, pumping rates, specific capacities, pumping water levels, static water levels, and total production data. Also collect available data on required well and pumping unit rehabilitation work.
