Kennedy Blvd | Suite 240 | Houston, TX 77032 |Tel: 281.907.8788 | Fax: 888.875.0587 | www.BrooksWatsonCPA.com INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council City of Sanger, Texas: Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinions We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, business-type activities, the discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Sanger, Texas (the “City”)as of and for the year ended September 30, 2025, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,the discretely presented component units,each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Sanger, Texas, as of September 30, 2025, and the respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinions We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements The City’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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. 13 Item 3. 2 In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 City’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements. Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control–related matters that we identified during the audit. 14 Item 3. 3 Emphasis of Matter As discussed in Note V.G. to the financial statements, due to the implementation of GASB 101, Compensated Absences,the City restated its beginning net position within governmental activities, business-type activities, component unit activities, and the water, sewer, and electric fund. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters Required Supplementary Information Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis, schedule of changes in net pension liability and related ratios, schedule of employer contributions to pension plan, schedule of changes in other postemployment benefits liability and related ratios, and general fund budgetary comparison information 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 financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the 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 forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise City of Sanger, Texas’ basic financial statements. The combining schedule by department for the proprietary fund is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The combining schedule by department for the proprietary fund is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relate directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the combining financial statements are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole. 15 Item 3. 4 Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated January 22, 2026 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance. BrooksWatson & Co. Certified Public Accountants Houston, Texas January 22, 2026 16 Item 3. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 5 17 Item 3. (This page intentionally left blank.) 6 18 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (MD&A) September 30, 2025 7 As management of the City of Sanger, Texas (the “City”), we offer readers of the City’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. Financial Highlights The City's total combined net position is $74,507,016 at September 30,2025.Of this, $32,914,662 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors. At the close of the current fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $24,083,496, a decrease of $547,505. As of the end of the year, the unassigned fund balance of the general fund was $18,520,185 or 114%of total general fund expenditures. The City had an overall increase in net position of $8,974,058, which is primarily due to revenues exceeding expenses for both governmental and business-type activities. Overview of the Financial Statements The discussion and analysis provided here are intended to serve as an introduction to the City’s basic financial statements. The City’s basic financial statements consist of three components: 1) government- wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) the notes to financial statements. This report also includes supplementary information intended to furnish additional detail to support the basic financial statements themselves. Government-Wide Statements The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the City’s finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the City’s assets, liabilities, and deferred inflows/outflows 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 City is improving or deteriorating. Other non-financial factors, such as the City’s property tax base and the condition of the City’s infrastructure, need to be considered in order to assess the overall health of the City. The statement of activities presents information showing how the City’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses 19 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued September 30, 2025 8 are reported for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave). Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business- type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public safety, public works, and culture and recreation. The business-type activities of the City include water, sewer and electric operations. The government-wide financial statements include not only the City itself (known as the primary government), but also the legally separate Sanger Industrial Development Corporation (“4A”) and the Sanger Texas Development Corporation (“4B”), for which the City is financially accountable. Financial information for these component units is reported separately from the financial information presented for the primary government itself. FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Funds may be considered as operating companies of the parent corporation,which is the City of Sanger.They are usually segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of Sanger uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal reporting requirements. The two categories of City funds are governmental and proprietary. Governmental Funds Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of spendable resources,as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the year. Such information may be useful in evaluating the City’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements.By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions.Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The City of Sanger maintains three individual governmental funds. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, 20 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued September 30, 2025 9 expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the general,debt service, and capital projects funds. All three funds are considered to be major funds. The City of Sanger adopts an annual appropriated budget for all funds. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided to demonstrate compliance with the general fund budget. Proprietary Funds The City maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Proprietary funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the government-wide financial statements. The City uses a proprietary fund to account for its public utilities. All activities associated with providing such services are accounted for in these funds, including administration, operation, maintenance, debt service, capital improvements, meter maintenance, billing and collection.The City's intent is that costs of providing the services to the general public on a continuing basis is financed through user charges in a manner similar to a private enterprise. Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among the City’s various functions. The City uses an internal service fund to account for administrative support services to other funds of the City. Component Units The City maintains the accounting and financial statements for two component units. The 4A and the 4B are both discretely presented component units displayed on the government-wide financial statements. Notes to Financial Statements The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes are the last section of the basic financial statements. Other Information In addition to the basic financial statements, MD&A, and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain Required Supplementary Information (RSI). The RSI that GASB Statement No. 34 requires is a budgetary comparison schedule for the general fund and schedules for the City’s Defined Pension Plan. RSI can be found after the basic financial statements. GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS As noted previously, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of the City’s financial position. For the City of Sanger, assets and deferred outflows exceeded liabilities and deferred inflows by $74,507,016 as of September 30, 2025,in the primary government. 21 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS, Continued September 30, 2025 10 A large portion of the City’s net position, $34,340,623,reflects its investments in capital assets (e.g., land, city hall, police station, streets, and drainage systems, as well as the public works facilities),less any debt used to acquire those assets that are still outstanding. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently,these assets are not available for future spending.Although the City’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities. An additional portion of the City’s net position, $7,251,731, represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining balance of $32,914,662 is unrestricted and may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to its citizens and creditors. Long-term assets of governmental activities increased by $3,354,542 primarily due to greater capital asset balances, which is the result of new roadway improvements and purchase of public safety vehicles/equipment during the year. Other liabilities of business-type activities decreased by $789,333 and is primarily attributable to fewer outstanding payables to vendors and timing of repayments during the current year.

Neither transaction, however, has any effect on net position. Also, governmental funds report the effect of issuance costs, premiums, discounts, and similar items when they are first issued; whereas, these amounts are deferred and amortized in the statement of activities. This amount is the net effect of these differences in the treatment of long-term debt and related items.

Description of Government‐Wide Financial Statements    The government‐wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and  the statement of activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of  the primary government and its component units. Governmental activities, which  normally are supported by taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other  nonexchange transactions, are reported separately from business‐type activities,  which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges to external customers for  support. Likewise, the primary government is reported separately from certain legally  separate component units for which the primary government is financially  accountable.    B. Reporting Entity    The City of Sanger, Texas (the “City”) was incorporated in 1886 and operates under  a Council‐Manager form of government. The City provides: general government,  public safety, public works, culture and recreation, water, sewer, and electricity  operations.     The City is an independent political subdivision of the State of Texas governed by  an elected council and a mayor and is considered a primary government. As  required by generally accepted accounting principles, these basic financial  statements have been prepared based on considerations regarding the potential for  inclusion of other entities, organizations, or functions as part of the Cityʹs financial  reporting entity. The Sanger Industrial Development Corporation (“4A fund”) and  the Sanger Texas Development Corporation (“4B fund”), although legally separate,  are considered part of the reporting entity. No other entities have been included in  the Cityʹs reporting entity. Additionally, as the City is considered a primary  government for financial reporting purposes, its activities are not considered a part  of any other governmental or other type of reporting entity.    Considerations regarding the potential for inclusion of other entities, organizations  or functions in the Cityʹs financial reporting entity are based on criteria prescribed  by generally accepted accounting principles. These same criteria are evaluated in  considering whether the City is a part of any other governmental or other type of  reporting entity. The overriding elements associated with prescribed criteria  considered in determining that the Cityʹs financial reporting entity status is that of a  primary government are that it has a separately elected governing body; it is legally  separate; and is fiscally independent of other state and local governments.   49 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  38  Additionally, prescribed criteria under generally accepted accounting principles  include considerations pertaining to organizations for which the primary  government is financially accountable, and considerations pertaining to  organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the  primary government are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entityʹs  financial statements to be misleading or incomplete.    Discretely Presented Component Units    Sanger Industrial Development Corporation (4A)     The Sanger Texas Industrial Development Corporation (“4A”) is governed by a  board of five directors, all of whom are appointed by the City Council of the City of  Sanger and any of whom can be removed from office by the City Council at its will.  The 4A fund was incorporated in the state of Texas as a non‐profit industrial  development corporation under Section 4A of the Development Corporation Act of  1979. The purpose of the 4A fund is to promote economic development within the  City of Sanger. Discrete presentation is appropriate because the Corporation’s  Board is not substantially the same as the City.    Sanger Texas Development Corporation (4B)    The Sanger Texas Development Corporation (“4B”) is governed by a board of seven  directors, all of whom are appointed by the City Council at its will. The 4B fund was  incorporated in the state of Texas as a nonprofit industrial development corporation  under Section 4B of the Development Corporation Act of 1979. The purpose of the  4B fund is to promote economic and community development within the City of  Sanger. Discrete presentation is appropriate because the Corporation’s Board is not  substantially the same as the City.    C. Basis of Presentation Government‐Wide and Fund Financial Statements    While separate government‐wide and fund financial statements are presented, they  are interrelated. The governmental activities column incorporates data from  governmental funds while business‐type activities incorporate data from the  government’s enterprise funds. Separate financial statements are provided for  governmental funds and the proprietary funds.    As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the  government‐wide financial statements. Exceptions to this general rule are payments  in lieu of taxes where the amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the  50 Item 3.

City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  40  Proprietary Fund Types     Proprietary funds are used to account for activities that are similar to those often  found in the private sector. All assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses, and  transfers relating to the government’s business activities are accounted for through  proprietary funds. The measurement focus is on determination of net income,  financial position, and cash flows. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues  and expenses from non‐operating items. Operating revenues include charges for  services. Operating expenses include costs of materials, contracts, personnel, and  depreciation.  All revenues and expenses not meeting this definition are reported as  non‐operating revenues and expenses. Proprietary fund types follow GAAP  prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) and all  financial Accounting Standards Board’s standards issued prior to November 30,  1989.  Subsequent to this date, the City accounts for its enterprise funds as presented  by GASB. The proprietary fund types used by the City include enterprise funds.    The government reports the following major enterprise fund:    Water, Sewer, & Electric Fund     This fund is used to account for the provision of water, sewer and electric  services to the residents of the City. Activities of the fund include administration,  operations and maintenance of the water production and distribution system,  water collection and treatment systems, and electric services. The fund also  accounts for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of long‐term  debt. All costs are financed through charges to utility customers.    Additionally, the government reports the following fund type:    Internal Service Fund    Revenues and expenses related to services provided to organizations inside the  City on a cost reimbursement basis are accounted for in an internal service fund.  The Cityʹs internal service fund was set up to provide administrative support  services to other funds of the City.    During the course of operations the government has activity between funds for  various purposes. Any residual balances outstanding at year end are reported as  due from/to other funds and advances to/from other funds. While these balances  are reported in fund financial statements, certain eliminations are made in the  preparation of the government‐wide financial statements. Balances between the  52 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  41  funds included in governmental activities (i.e., the governmental and internal  service funds) are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal  balances in the governmental activities column. Similarly, balances between the  funds included in business‐type activities (i.e., the enterprise funds) are eliminated  so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the business‐type  activities column.    Further, certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources  between funds. In fund financial statements these amounts are reported at gross  amounts as transfers in/out. While reported in fund financial statements, certain  eliminations are made in the preparation of the government‐wide financial  statements. Transfers between the funds included in governmental activities are  eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the governmental  activities column. Similarly, balances between the funds included in business‐type  activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the  business‐type activities column.    D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting     The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable  measurement focus and basis of accounting. Measurement focus indicates the type  of resources being measured such as current financial resources or economic resources.  The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition  in the financial statements.    The government‐wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources  measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when  earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the  timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year  for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as  soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met.    The governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial  resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are  recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are  considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or  soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the  government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days  of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a  liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service  expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, and claims  53 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  42  and judgments, are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset  acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long‐ term debt and acquisitions under leases are reported as other financing sources.    Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest associated with the  current fiscal period are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and so have been  recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Entitlements are recorded as  revenues when all eligibility requirements are met, including any time  requirements, and the amount is received during the period or within the  availability period for this revenue source (within 60 days of year end).  Expenditure‐driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying  expenditures have been incurred and all other eligibility requirements have been  met, and the amount is received during the period or within the availability period  for this revenue source (within 60 days of year end). All other revenue items are  considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the  government.    E. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources and Net  Position/Fund Balance    1. Deposits and Investments    The City’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand  deposits and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less  from the date of acquisition.  For the purpose of the statement of cash flows, the  proprietary fund types consider temporary investments with maturity of three  months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.    In accordance with GASB Statement No. 31, Accounting and Reporting for Certain  Investments and External Investment Pools, the City reports all investments at fair  value, except for “money market investments” and “2a7‐like pools.”  Money market  investments, which are short‐term highly liquid debt instruments that may include  U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, are reported at amortized costs.  Investment  positions in external investment pools that are operated in a manner consistent with  the SEC’s Rule 2a7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, such as TexPool, are  reported using the pools’ share price.    The City has adopted a written investment policy regarding the investment of its  funds as defined in the Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, of the Texas  Governmental Code.      54 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  43  In summary, the City is authorized to invest in the following:     Obligations of the United States Government, its agencies and  instrumentalities, not to exceed two years to stated maturity.   Fully collateralized certificates of deposit from a bank doing business in  the State of Texas, not to exceed three years to the stated maturity.   Money market funds authorized by the Public Funds Investment Act of  the Texas Government Code Chapter 2256   Statewide investment pools    2. Fair Value    The City has applied Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”)  Statement No. 72, Fair Value Measurement and Application. GASB Statement No.  72 provides guidance for determining a fair value measurement for reporting  purposes and applying fair value to certain investments and disclosures related to  all fair value measurements.    3. Receivables and Interfund Transactions    Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing  arrangements outstanding at the end of the year are referred to as either “interfund  receivables/payables” (i.e., the current portion of interfund loans) or “advances  to/from other funds” (i.e., the non‐current portion of interfund loans).  All other  outstanding balances between funds are reported as “due to/from other funds” in  the fund financial statements.  If the transactions are between the primary  government and its component unit, these receivables and payables are classified as  “due to/from component unit/primary government.” Any residual balances  outstanding between the governmental activities and business‐type activities are  reported in the government‐wide financial statements as “internal balances.”    Advances between funds are offset by a fund balance reserve account in the  applicable governmental fund to indicate they are not available for appropriation  and are not expendable available financial resources.    All trade receivables are shown net of any allowance for uncollectible amounts.    4. Property Taxes    Property taxes are levied by October 1 on the assessed value listed as of the prior  January 1 for all real and business personal property in conformity with Subtitle E,  55 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  44  Texas Property Tax Code. Taxes are due on receipt of the tax bill and are delinquent  if not paid before February 1 of the year following the year in which imposed.  Penalties are calculated after February 1 up to the date collected by the government  at the rate of 6% for the first month and increased 1% per month up to a total of  12%. Interest is calculated after February 1 at the rate of 1% per month up to the  date collected by the government. Under state law, property taxes levied on real  property constitute a lien on the real property which cannot be forgiven without  specific approval of the State Legislature. The lien expires at the end of twenty  years. Taxes levied on personal property can be deemed uncollectible by the City.    5. Inventories and Prepaid Items    The costs of governmental fund type inventories are recorded as expenditures when  the related liability is incurred, (i.e., the purchase method). The inventories are  valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost method. Certain  payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods (prepaid  expenditures) are recognized as expenditures when utilized.     6. Capital Assets    Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets  (e.g., roads, bridges, sidewalks, and similar items) are reported in the applicable  governmental or business‐type activities columns in the government‐wide financial  statements. Capital assets are defined by the government, as assets with an initial  individual cost of more than $10,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one  year.  Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if  purchased or constructed.  Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair  market value at the date of donation. Major outlays for capital assets and  improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed.    Interest costs incurred in connection with construction of enterprise fund capital  assets are capitalized when the effects of capitalization materially impact the  financial statements.    The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the  asset or materially extend assets’ lives are not capitalized.            56 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  45  Property, plant, and equipment of the primary government, as well as the  component units, are depreciated using the straight‐line method over the following  estimated useful years.      Asset Description   Estimated   Useful Life  Vehicles  5‐10 years  Furniture and equipment  5 to 10 years  Infrastructure  10‐30 years  Water and sewer system  10‐30 years  Buildings and improvements  5‐40 years    7. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources    In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a  separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial  statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net  position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an  outflow of resources (expense/ expenditure) until then. An example is a deferred  charge on refunding reported in the government‐wide statement of net position. A  deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of  refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized  over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt.    In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a  separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement  element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that  applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources  (revenue) until that time. The government has only one type of item, which arises  only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, which qualifies for reporting in  this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the  governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable  revenues from two sources: property taxes and EMS revenues. These amounts are  deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts  become available.    8. Net Position Flow Assumption    Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both  restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In  order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted – net position and unrestricted  – net position in the government‐wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a  57 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  46  flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are  considered to be applied.    9. Fund Balance Flow Assumptions    Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both  restricted and unrestricted resources (the total of committed, assigned, and  unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted,  committed, assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the governmental fund  financial statements a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the  resources are considered to be applied. It is the government’s policy to consider  restricted fund balance to have been depleted before using any of the components of  unrestricted fund balance. Further, when the components of unrestricted fund  balance can be used for the same purpose, committed fund balance is depleted first,  followed by assigned fund balance. Unassigned fund balance is applied last.    10. Fund Balance Policies    Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the  nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The  government itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a  commitment (committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance).    The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only  for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government’s highest  level of decision‐making authority. The governing council is the highest level of  decision‐making authority for the government that can, by adoption of an  ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted,  the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is  taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation.    Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the  government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as  committed. The governing body (council) has by resolution authorized the City  Manager to assign fund balance. The Council may also assign fund balance as it  does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue  and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike  commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an  additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an  assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to  either remove or revise a commitment.  58 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  47  11. Compensated Absences    The liability for compensated absences reported in the government‐wide and  proprietary fund statements consist of unpaid, accumulated vacation and sick time  balances. The liability has been calculated using the vesting method, in which leave  amounts for both employees who currently are eligible to receive termination  payments and other employees who are expected to become eligible in the future to  receive such payments upon termination are included. Vested or accumulated  vacation leave and compensated leave of government‐wide and proprietary funds  are recognized as an expense and liability of those funds as the benefits accrue to  employees.    It is the Cityʹs policy to liquidate compensated absences with future revenues rather  than with currently available expendable resources. Accordingly, the Cityʹs  governmental funds recognize accrued compensated absences when it is paid.    12. Long‐Term Obligations    In the government‐wide financial statements, long‐term debt and other long‐term  obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities  statement of net position. The long‐term debt consists primarily of bonds payable  and accrued compensated absences.    Long‐term debt for governmental funds is not reported as liabilities in the fund  financial statements until due. The debt proceeds are reported as other financing  sources, net of the applicable premium or discount and payments of principal and  interest reported as expenditures. In the governmental fund types, issuance costs,  even if withheld from the actual net proceeds received, are reported as debt service  expenditures.  However, claims and judgments paid from governmental funds are  reported as a liability in the fund financial statements only for the portion expected  to be financed from expendable available financial resources.    Long‐term debt and other obligations, financed by proprietary funds, are reported  as liabilities in the appropriate funds.  For proprietary fund types, bond premiums,  and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the  effective interest method, if material. Bonds payable are reported net of the  applicable bond premium or discount. Issuance costs are expensed as incurred in  accordance with GASB statement no. 65.    Assets acquired under the terms of leases are recorded as liabilities and capitalized  in the government‐wide financial statements at the present value of net minimum  59 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  48  lease payments at inception of the lease. In the year of acquisition, lease transactions  are recorded as other financing sources and as capital outlay expenditures in the  general fund. Lease payments representing both principal and interest are recorded  as expenditures in the general fund upon payment with an appropriate reduction of  principal recorded in the government‐wide financial statements.    13. Estimates    The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted  accounting principles, 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 the financial statements and the reported amounts  of revenues and expenditures/expenses during the reporting period. Actual results  could differ from those estimates.    14. Pensions    For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources  and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense,  information about the Fiduciary Net Position of the Texas Municipal Retirement  System (TMRS) and additions to/deductions from TMRS’s Fiduciary Net Position  have been determined on the same basis as they are reported by TMRS. For this  purpose, plan contributions are recognized in the period that compensation is  reported for the employee, which is when contributions are legally due. Benefit  payments and refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with  the benefit terms. Investments are reported at fair value.    15. Other Postemployment Benefits (“OPEB”)    The City has implemented GASB Statement No. 75, Accounting and Financial  Reporting for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions. This statement  applies to the individual employers (TMRS cities) in the TMRS Supplemental Death  Benefits (SDB) plan, with retiree coverage. The TMRS SDBF covers both active and  retiree benefits with no segregation of assets, and therefore doesn’t meet the  definition of a trust under GASB No. 75 (i.e., no assets are accumulated for OPEB)  and as such the SDBF is considered to be an unfunded OPEB plan. For purposes of  reporting under GASB 75, the retiree portion of the SDBF is not considered a cost  sharing plan and is instead considered a single employer, defined benefit OPEB  plan. The death benefit for active employees provides a lump‐sum payment  approximately equal to the employee’s annual salary, calculated based on the  employee’s actual earnings on which TMRS deposits are made, for the 12‐month  60 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  49  period preceding the month of death. The death benefit amount for retirees is  $7,500. GASB No. 75 requires the liability of employers and nonemployer  contributing entities to employees for defined benefit OPEB (net OPEB liability) to  be measured as the portion of the present value of projected benefit payments to be  provided to current active and inactive employees that is attributed to those  employees’ past periods of service (total OPEB liability), less the amount of the  OPEB plan’s fiduciary net position.    16. Leases    Lessee: The City is a lessee for a noncancellable lease of equipment. The City  recognizes a lease liability and an intangible right‐to‐use lease asset (lease asset) in  the government‐wide financial statements. The City recognizes lease liabilities with  an initial, individual value of $5,000 or more.    At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease liability at the  present value of payments expected to be made during the lease term.  Subsequently, the lease liability is reduced by the principal portion of lease  payments made. The lease asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the  lease liability, adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease  commencement date, plus certain initial direct costs. Subsequently, the lease asset is  amortized on a straight‐line basis over its useful life.    Key estimates and judgments related to leases include how the City determines (1)  the discount rate it uses to discount the expected lease payments to present value,  (2) lease term, and (3) lease payments.    •  The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When  the interest rate charged by the lessor is not provided, the City generally uses its  estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.    • The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments  included in the measurement of the lease liability are composed of fixed  payments and purchase option price that the City is reasonably certain to  exercise.    The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of  its lease and will remeasure the lease asset and liability if certain changes occur that  are expected to significantly affect the amount of the lease liability.    61 Item 3. City of Sanger, Texas  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued  September 30, 2025  50  Lease assets are reported with other capital assets and lease liabilities are reported  with long‐term debt on the statement of net position.  Lessor: The City is a lessor for a noncancellable lease of a cell tower. The City  recognizes a lease receivable and a deferred inflow of resources in the government‐ wide and governmental fund financial statements.    At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at  the present value of payments expected to be received during the lease term.  Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by the principal portion of lease  payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as the  initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payments received at or  before the lease commencement date. Subsequently, the deferred inflow of  resources is recognized as revenue over the life of the lease term.    Key estimates and judgments include how the City determines (1) the discount rate  it uses to discount the expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term, and  (3) lease receipts.    • The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for  leases.    • The lease term includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease receipts  included in the measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments  from the lessee.    The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of  its lease, and will remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources  if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the amount of the  lease receivable.    17. Subscription based information technology arrangements (“SBITA”)    The City has adopted the provision of Governmental Accounting Standard Board  (GASB) Statement No. 96, entitled Subscription‐Based Information Technology  Arrangements (“SBITA”). When implementing GASB 96, the City records right to  use assets and subscription liabilities based on the present value of the payments  for the related arrangements. The assets will be included within capital assets, and  amortized straight‐line over the term of the arrangement. The liabilities will accrue  interest at the implied rate estimated by the City, and are relieved with payments  over the term of the arrangements.    62 Item 3.

Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund balance sheet  and the government‐wide statement of net position.    The governmental fund balance sheet includes reconciliation between fund balance‐ total governmental funds and net position‐governmental activities as reported in the  government‐wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation  explains that long‐term liabilities, including bonds, are not due and payable in the  current period and, therefore, are not reported in the funds.    B. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund statement of  revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances and the government‐wide  statement of activities.    The governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund  balances includes a reconciliation between net changes in fund balances – total  governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental states that, “the  issuance of long‐term debt (e.g., bonds) provides current financial resources to  governmental funds, while the repayment of the principal of long‐term debt  consumes the current financial resources of governmental funds. Also,  governmental funds report the effect of premiums, discounts, and similar items  when debt is first issued, whereas these amounts are deferred and amortized in the  statement of activities.”      III.  STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE, AND ACCOUNTABILITY    Annual budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted  accounting principles for all governmental and enterprise funds.     The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, function, and department. The legal  level of control is the fund level. No funds can be transferred or added to a  budgeted item without Council approval. Appropriations lapse at the end of the  year. Budget amendments were only re‐classes at the function level and below and  there was no increase in budgeted revenues or expenses by function from  amendments.           63 Item 3.

New Accounting Standards    The City adopted GASB 101, Compensated Absences, during the year. The goal of the  standard is to create a more consistent model for accounting for compensated absences  that can be applied to all types of compensated absence arrangements.   The new guidance introduces three criteria for recording a liability in financial  statements prepared using the economic resources measurement focus (often referred  to as a “full accrual” basis). A liability should be recognized for leave that has not been  used if all of the following are true:   The leave is attributable to services already rendered.    The leave accumulates.   The leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in  cash or settled through noncash means (likelihood of more than 50 percent).  This standard was applied retroactively and resulted in a sick leave liability of  $316,554, which was included within compensated absences as of September 30, 2025.    I.

Porter Park East City of Sanger, TX December 31, 2025 Page 5 of 28 Halff RCH | Halff.com TASK 2 – DATA COLLECTION TASK 2.1 – GEOTECHNICAL REPORT SCOPE OF SERVICES The objective of this geotechnical investigation will be to obtain subsurface data and develop foundation, pavement, pavement subgrade and earthwork recommendations for the facility. All services provided will be performed in accordance with and limited to those generally accepted engineering standards prevailing at the time and in the area where the work is performed. Field Services Based on the PROJECT layout, we propose to drill a total of nine (9) borings across the site. Six (6) borings will be drilled within the proposed parking and field areas to depths of about 10 feet, or to top of competent bedrock, whichever occurs first. Three (3) borings will be drilled in the vicinity of the concession building, shaded bleachers, pavilion, and restroom buildings to depths of about 20 feet, or 10 feet into competent bedrock, whichever occurs first. The borings will be drilled and sampled using a truck-mounted drilling rig, however, if an ATV- mounted drilling rig is required, an additional fee of $550 will be charged. Conventional tube or split- barrel (standard penetration test) samples will be collected as appropriate for the soils encountered. Bedrock strata, if encountered, will be tested in-place using the Texas Cone Penetration Test. The recovered subsurface samples will be preserved and labeled as to the appropriate boring number and depth in the field. These materials will later be described in further detail in the laboratory by a staff geologist or engineer. Groundwater, if observed, will be recorded during and at the completion of drilling. Borings will be backfilled with on-site cuttings to near surface grade. Backfilled borings should be expected to settle over time and should be monitored; CONSULTANT will not be responsible for any additional future backfilling required, nor damage or injury that may result from settlement of the boreholes after the initial backfill process. Laboratory Services Selected laboratory testing of the recovered samples will be performed to evaluate soil index, volume change, and strength properties of the subsurface materials, and to provide data for analysis. These tests may include but may not be limited to the following: · Moisture content · Atterberg limits · Percent passing No. 200 mesh sieve · Unconfined compressive strength (soil and rock) · Overburden swell · Soluble sulfates · CONSULTANT will retain recovered samples for 30 days after submission of the geotechnical · report unless other arrangements are made by the client. Engineering Analysis and Report Data obtained from the field investigation and laboratory tests will be presented in a geotechnical data report. Information to be provided includes the following: · A plan sheet indicating the approximate location of each boring. 126 Item 6. Porter Park East City of Sanger, TX December 31, 2025 Page 6 of 28 Halff RCH | Halff.com · A log of each boring with the boring number, depth of each stratum, material description, soil classification with laboratory test results, and groundwater information. · A discussion of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions. · A brief discussion of site geology. · Estimates of soil movement related to settlement and expansive soils (if present). · Outline of the engineering properties of the natural soils present, and any existing fill, if encountered · Recommendations for foundation type, depth and allowable loading, uplift considerations, · L-Pile parameters and Seismic Site Class (2018 IBC). · Earthwork recommendations, including material type(s), compaction, and backfill requirements. · Pavement and pavement subgrade recommendations. CONDITIONS We respectfully request that the Owner provide the following: · Landowner permission, right(s) of entry, permits, easements or other access authorization required to perform our proposed services. · The CLIENT must also provide access to each boring location for the drill rig and crew prior to drilling operations. Collateral damage to landscaping and/or flatwork may occur in the event of limited access; CONSULTANT will not be responsible for any damage to these items or responsible for any repair. If the above conditions are not met and the PROJECT site is not accessible to the drilling rig at time of initial mobilization, standby and travel time (portal to portal) will be billed at the rate of $250/hour for additional mobilizations. · CONSULTANT will contact DigTess/Texas811 One Call for general subsurface utility clearing within the easements. Locating and marking any private non-franchise subsurface utilities or other structures or items which might be damaged during the field exploration program is not part of this scope. The client must provide these services before drilling can proceed; however, these services can be provided by third-party vendor to CONSULTANT for an additional fee. CONSULTANT will not be responsible for damaged utilities that are not clearly marked. Task 2.1 Deliverables Deliverables provided by the CONSULTANT shall include the following: · One (1) PDF electronic copy of the report.

Task 2.2 Deliverables Deliverables provided by the CONSULTANT shall include the following: · 3D digital terrain model and 2D planimetric and boundary/legal reference files in Civil 3D TASK 2.3 – ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES Environmental  Cultural Resources Assessment: Because the PROJECT is being developed by the City, a political sub-entity of the State of Texas, it falls under purview of the Antiquities Code of Texas (Title 9, Chapter 191 of the Texas Natural Resources Code), which requires that the Texas Historical Commission (THC) review actions that have the potential to impact archeological historic properties within the public domain. In addition, the PROJECT requires authorization by the USACE pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, which is considered a federal action requiring compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (Section 106). Halff will perform desktop research and agency consultation as described below to enable the City to comply with the Texas Antiquities Code (TAC) and Section 106 for the proposed PROJECT. Based on the initial assessment of the PROJECT, it was determined that preliminary consultation with the Texas Historical Commission (THC) will be necessary due to the proximity of the Greenwood/Old Greenwood Cemetery and its shared boundary with the PROJECT area. Halff will subsequently conduct a review of the Texas Archeological Sites Atlas to identify any documented archeological sites, above-ground historic resources, or additional cemeteries within or adjacent to the PROJECT area that may be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or for designation as a State Antiquities Landmark (SAL). In addition, historic aerial imagery and topographic maps will be reviewed to identify potential above-ground historic resources. Background research will also include an assessment of local soils, geology, and other physiographic data to evaluate the potential for buried archeological deposits, with consideration of the proposed PROJECT’s horizontal and vertical footprint. The results of this desktop review will inform recommendations regarding the potential for the PROJECT to affect cultural resources or cemeteries eligible for NRHP listing or SAL designation. The results of the desktop review will be summarized in a report submitted for review by THC and USACE. If the desktop review and agency consultation results in the need for additional cultural resources investigations (e.g., archeological and/or historic resources field surveys), this will be considered an additional service and scoped separately. 128 Item 6. Porter Park East City of Sanger, TX December 31, 2025 Page 8 of 28 Halff RCH | Halff.com  Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment: Because a Section 404 permit is a federal action, documentation must be provided to make an effect determination under the Endangered Species Act to remain in compliance with the conditions of the Section 404 permit program. The Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment will include the following: o Obtaining an official species list for the PROJECT area and other related construction areas utilizing the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPAC) service. o Conducting background research including review of aerial photography, topographic maps, vegetation maps, and soil survey maps to identify potentially suitable habitat for species listed in the IPaC report. o An opinion regarding the potential of the proposed PROJECTs to affect federally listed threatened and endangered species. · Section 404 Permitting Assessment: This task assumes the PROJECT would not exceed the impact thresholds of a Nationwide Permit. Upon completion of Cultural Resources Assessments, and Threatened and Endangered Species Assessment, Halff specialists will coordinate with design team to evaluate site alternatives pursuant to the Section 404 Nationwide Permit program.
