DIVIDER City of Monroe, Louisiana Mayor-Council Government James E. "Jamie" 3»Liyo Stacey Rowell, CPA ^^avor Director of Admimstration October 31, 2019 The Citizens, The Honorable Mayor, And Members of the City Council City of Monroe RE: Financial Statement Letter of Transmittal Fiscal Year Ended April 30, 2019 Dear Citizens, Mayor, and Council Members: Pursuant to Louisiana State Statutes, I hereby issue the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the government of the City of Monroe for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019. The Accounting Division of the Administration Department prepared this report in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). We believe the data, as presented, is accurate in all material respects; that it is presented in a manner designed to set forth fairly the financial position and results of operations of the City of Monroe as measured by the financial activities of its various funds and the entity-wide presentation; and that disclosures necessary to enable readers to gain an understanding of City of Monroe financial affairs have been included. Responsibility for the accuracy of the presented data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures, rests with the local government. The City of Monroe financial statements have been audited by Allen, Green & Williamson, LLP, a firm of licensed certified public accountants. The goal of the independent audit was to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and the disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unmodified opinion that the Government of the City of Monroe, Louisiana, financial statements for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP. The independent auditor's report is presented as the first document of the financial section of this report. The City of Monroe is required to undergo an annual single audit in conformance with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1996 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget 2CFR Part 200 (Uniform Guidance). Information related to this single audit, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, findings and recommendations, and the auditor's reports on the internal control structure and compliance with applicable laws and regulations are available in the City's separately issued Single Audit Report. GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction. 1 PROFILE OF THE GOVERNMENT POPULATION 47,877 (2013) MEDIAN VALUE OF HOUSING UNITS $143.2K The first residents of what is now Monroe were the Ouachita Indians who inhabited the area around 1350 BC. The site later attracted a transitory population of traders, trappers, and hunters, but few permanent inhabitants. The first non-native settlers to Ouachita Parish were likely remnants of LaSalle's 1680 expedition to Louisiana. By the time these settlers arrived AMEAN TRAVEL in the 17th century, little was left of the TIME TO WORK Ouachita Indians who had inhabited the 14.3 min. area for generations. In 1782, the Governor of New Orleans sent Don Juan (Jean) Filhiol to establish a post along the Ouachita River. By 1790, this trading post, called Ft. Miro, had evolved into a community of 49 families. LAND AREA IN SQUARE MILES In 1803, the United States purchased the 29.21 Louisiana Territory from France, and for the first time, Ft. Miro was under U.S. authority. Ouachita Parish was established March 31, 1807, with Ft. Miro as the parish seat. In 1819, the town's name was changed from Ft. Miro to Monroe. BACHELOR'S DEGREE OR HIGHER Monroe is the eighth-largest city in the U.S.

Competitive. Connected. The former Guide Plant is conveniently located on Interstate 20 and Millhaven Road in Monroe with direct access to an interstate on-ramp. The 425,146 square foot plant situated on 182.2 acres was a former automotive headlamp manufacturing and distribution center for General Motors which has been closed for many years. The property has access to multiple rail spurs, and its ceiling height ranges from 21 to 70 feet. There is 70’ clearance in the 22,400 SF high bay area (80’ x 280’). Since the plant has been shuttered for many years, the private owners of this facility are motivated to sell, which would allow you more square footage for your investment. Detailed information about the property is available in the property section of this proposal. This facility is located along Interstate 20 in the Monroe MSA, which is the seventh largest metropolitan statistical area in Louisiana. Monroe has an estimated 2014 population of 252,828 with a median age of 34.4. The four parish area around Monroe has a civilian workforce of 110,159 persons.
