Dear President Robinson and Council Members:
We are pleased to submit the comprehensive annual financial report of the City of
Lansing, Michigan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
The City assumes full responsibility for both the accuracy of the data and the
completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures. To the best of
our knowledge and belief, the enclosed data are accurate in all material respects and are
reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position and results of
operations government wide and of the various funds of the City. All disclosures
necessary to enable the reader to gain an understanding of the City's financial activities
have been included.
The City's fiscal year 2010/2011 financial statements have been audited by Rebmann
Robson, an independent firm of licensed, certified public accountants. The goal of the
independent audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements for the
City of Lansing for the fiscal year-ended June 30, 2011, are free of material
misstatement. The independent audit involved examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures contained in the financial statements; assessing
the accounting principles used; and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. The independent audit concluded with the rendering of an unqualified
opinion on the statements, meaning the financial statements present, fairly and accurately
in all material respects, the financial position of the City in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The independent auditors' report is
presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the Management's Discussion and
Analysis (MD&A) and should be read in conjunction with it. The Management's
Discussion and Analysis can be found immediately following the Independent Auditors'
Report.

"Equal Opportunity Employer"
Profile of the City of Lansing
Serving as Michigan's capital since 1848, the City of Lansing was incorporated in 1859
and operates under provisions of Public Act 279 of 1909, as amended (the "Home Rule
City Act"). The City incorporates 34.7 square miles and is located in the lower middle of
Michigan's Lower Peninsula and operates under a strong mayor form of government
established by 1978 Charter revision.
Lansing is a mature core city with a population of 114,297, according to the 2010 census,
and offers a full range of services. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the City
operated police headquarters and two precincts with over 300 sworn police officers; eight
fire stations with a fire protection force of over 200; over 300 miles of sanitary sewers,
230 miles of storm sewers, and 180 miles of combined sewers; over 400 miles of roads;
114 parks; a District Court; and support for human services and cultural events. The
City's main sources of revenue were property taxes, income taxes, State revenue sharing,
Federal entitlement grants, and charges for services, including utility billings.
Reporting Entity
The financial reporting entity (the City) includes all of the funds and of the primary
government (i.e., the City as legally defined), as well as its blended component units.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the
primary government's operations and are included as part of the primary government.
The Lansing Building Authority is a blended component unit. Discretely presented
component units are reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements
to emphasize that they are legally separate from the primary government and to
differentiate their financial position, results of operations and cash flows from those of
the primary government. The Lansing Entertainment & Public Facilities Authority, Tax
Increment Finance Authority, the Smart Zone, and the Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority are reported as a discretely presented component units.
Financial Management and Control
Management of the City of Lansing is responsible for establishing and maintaining
internal controls designed to ensure that the assets of the government are protected from
loss, theft, or misuse and to assure that adequate accounting data is compiled to allow for
the accurate presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
To provide a reasonable basis for making these presentations, management has
established a comprehensive system of internal controls designed to reasonably ensure
that assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate
accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of these financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Such controls include
appropriate policies and procedures, ongoing risk assessment, and monitoring and review
processes which are communicated throughout City operations. Because the cost of
internal controls generally should not outweigh their benefits, the City's framework of
internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance
that these objectives are met.
-viii-
Because the City is a recipient of federal grant dollars, the independent audit of the
financial statements of the City of Lansing was part of a broader, federally-mandated
"single audit" in conformity with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1996 and the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States. Local
Governments, and Non-profit Organizations. The standards governing the single audits
require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial
statements, but also on the audited government's internal controls and compliance with
legal requirements involving the administration of the federal awards. These reports are
available in the City's separately-issued Single Audit Report.
Budgeting Controls
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning, policy-
making, and control. The City Charter requires that the Mayor submit to the City
Council a proposed budget by the fourth Monday in March. The City Council must, by
charter, adopt the budget for the ensuing fiscal year by third Monday in May. The budget
is adopted at the activity level within each department.
The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system, whereby purchase orders
amounts are deducted from the available budget, as one technique of accomplishing
budgetary control. Encumbered amounts lapse at year end and require Council approval
to be carried forward to the ensuing fiscal year for amounts greater than $5,000 or greater
than eight months old. The budget is adopted at the activity level within each
department.
Risk Management
The City carries all-risk coverage on all real and business personal property. The total
coverage is $485 million with a $25,000 self-insured retention. Workers Compensation is
self insured with excess reinsurance coverage for claims exceeding $500,000 from the
State Accident Fund. The City carries liability coverage in the amount of$16 million per
occurrence.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF THE CITY OF LANSING 2010/2011
The Michigan economy is starting to show signs of rebounding from the "Second Great
Recession", Lenders and businesses are cautiously starting to invest in what are
considered safe investments. The City continues to move along and is poised to recover
as the National and World economies do. Lansing's regional unemployment rate has
dropped more than 2% and is one of the lowest rates in Michigan. Lansing also tops the
state in terms of growth in Gross Domestic Product. General Motors, Lansing's largest
private sector employer has been hiring and announced that there are no longer any GM
employees laid-off in the Lansing area. Also the LEDC has been working on a surprising
number of economic projects that have happened in 2011 and several more are slated to
break ground in 2012.
-ix-
• The former Knapps Centre, a $36 million, historic 150,000 sf. former department
store in downtown Lansing, will be renovated next year into a mixed use
development.
• Med Assurant, a medical service provider located in Lansing, created 250 jobs.
• The former YMCA building in Lansing will be demolished and be replaced by a
new four story, 228 unit, apartment building with 20,000 sf. of retail and
commercial space.
• There are several major projects in the planning stage that promise to accelerate
the Lansing Economy. These include two long vacant parcels of land, the former
Deluxe Inn site and the Ottawa Butler parcel. Mixed use developments on these
two parcels could create hundreds of jobs and provide more living options in
Lansing.
• There are also exciting things about to happen along the river front in downtown
Lansing. The former Lansing City market site will be redeveloped and other
major develop projects will be announced very soon. These projects will carry on
the momentum created the $182 million Accident Fund project and new Lansing
City Market.
• The Lansing Board of Water and Light has recently begun construction of a new
$180 million co-generation plant that will use natural gas to produce clean and
affordable electricity and steam for Lansing's residents and businesses.
• Accident Fund Insurance Company of America had its grand opening of its new
national headquarters. The campus rests on 7 acres of land and consists of a
newly constructed parking ramp, the renovated Ottawa Street Power Station, and
a new building addition.
• Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan began renovations on the old Accident
fund headquarters. This is to accommodate moving 260 employees from their
Delta Township office and 130 employees from their Southfield office to the
Downtown location.
Lansing is an environment of high-growth possibilities and a reasonably safe return on
investment. Lansing is poised to benefit from the new generation of young people,
entrepreneurs and new economy businesses who are now demanding an urban
environment for living and working. Although tough times remain, and some people and
businesses are hurting, the City of Lansing is still poised for a remarkable, sustained and
historic period of economic diversity and growth.

Awards and Acknowledgements
The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010. This was the 33rd
consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded
a Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report satisfied both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
The Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine
its eligibility for another certificate.
Preparation of this comprehensive annual financial report was made possible by the
dedicated service of the entire staff of the Finance Department. Each member of the
department has our sincere appreciation for their contributions made in the preparation of
this report and in the financial management of the City. The 33rd consecutive GFOA
award, recognizing their efforts, is well deserved indeed.
Sincerely,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS'REPORT
December 22, 2011
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lansing, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lansing, Michigan, as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2011, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in
the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Lansing's
management. 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 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 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Lansing, Michigan, as of June 30, 2011, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the budgetary comparisons for the
General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also separately issued our report dated
December 22, 2011, on our consideration of the City of Lansing, Michigan's internal control over
financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that report is 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 internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our
audit.
The Management's Discussion and Analysis on pages 3-13 and the historical supplementary
information for the Employees' and Police and Fire Retirement Systems and other postemployment
benefit trust funds listed in the table of contents are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards
Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of
management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the required supplementary
information. However, we did not audit this information and express no opinion on it.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Lansing's basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on
them.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The management of the City of Lansing, Michigan("the City") provides this narrative overview and analysis
of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 for the benefit of the readers of
these financial statements. This management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") is intended to assist the
reader in focusing on significant financial issues and provide an overview of the City's financial activity. The
City encourages the readers to consider the following information here in conjunction with the financial
statements taken as a whole,which follow this section.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Total government-wide assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $427.9
million(reported as net assets), a decrease of$10.2 million from fiscal year 2009/2010. Component units
of the City reported a deficit of net assets of $34.2 million, an improvement of $700,000 from the
previous year. This component unit deficit is planned to be covered by future tax revenue captures in the
TIFA, Smart Zone, and Brownfield Component Units.
• As of the close of the 2010/2011 fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined ending
fund balances of$20.3 million. Of this, $10.6 million is legally restricted and/or unavailable to spend
(i.e. amounts tied up in inventories), and $5.1 million is committed for designated projects, leaving $4.6
million unrestricted/uncommitted.
• At the end of the fiscal year, unassigned fund balance for the General Fund, (including the amount
internally identified as a Budget Stabilization Fund), was $4.9 million. The general fund in total
experienced a fund balance decrease of$0.9 million from FY 2009/2010. Please see the "General Fund
and Budgetary Highlights" section of this Management Discussion and Analysis (page 14) for further
detail.
• The business-type activities reported net assets at year-end of$251.4 million, an increase of$6.4 million
during the year which is the result of the receipt of federal stimulus dollars for the City's Combined
Sewer Overflow(CSO) and tertiary building projects, sewer fund operations needed to support the CSO-
incurred debt long-term, and the conversion of a loan to a grant in the City's parking system.
• The City's total bonded and loaned debt was $272.7 million at June 30, 2011, a decrease of$5.4 million
(or 2.8%), which represents the net difference between new issuances, payments, refunding of
outstanding debt, and conversion of a loan to a grant. During the year, the City issued debt of $3.2
million in limited tax general obligation bonds for the consolidation of its fleet/garage operations from
two facilities to one and $5.1 million to refund sewer and fire station bond issues. $3 million of a $4.2
million loan from the State of Michigan was converted to a grant in the City's parking system. More
detailed information regarding these activities and funds can be found in footnote 3-G, Long Term Debt
which begins on page 70.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This MD&A is an introduction to the City's basic financial statements, which comprise three components: 1)
government-wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements.
-4-
Government-wide Statements (Reporting the City as a Whole) These statements include all non-fiduciary
assets and liabilities, but exclude assets and liabilities related to pensions. The Statement of Net Assets and
the Statement of Activities are two financial statements that report information about the City, as a whole, and
about its activities, which provide measurements of long term trends that should help answer this question: Is
the City, as a whole,better off or worse off as a result of this year's activities?Unlike the governmental funds,
the current year's revenues and expenses are taken into account regardless of when cash is received or paid,
known as"full accrual accounting".
The Statement of Net Assets (page 18) presents all of the City's assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as "net assets". Over time, increases and decreases in net assets are an indicator of
whether the City's long term financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities (pages 19 and 20) presents information showing how the City's net assets
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the underlying
events giving rise to the change occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Therefore, revenues and
expenses are reported in these statements for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal
periods (e.g.uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities report three activities, as follows:
• Governmental Activities — Most of the City's basic services are reported under this category. Property
taxes, income taxes, and intergovernmental revenues generally fund these services. The Council
(legislative branch), the District Court (judicial branch), and general operations of the executive branch
departments, such as police, fire,parks,public works, and staff departments fall within the governmental
activities.
• Business-type Activities — The City charges fees to customers to help cover all or most of the costs of
certain services it provides. Sewage collection and treatment and commercial area parking are examples
of business-type activities.
• Discretely Presented Component Units — Component units are legally separate organizations for which
the elected officials of the primary government are financially accountable. The City has four such
discretely presented units; the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority, the Tax Increment
Finance Authority,the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, and the Lansing Regional SmartZone.
These financial statements include two schedules (pages 25 and 27)that reconcile the amounts reported on the
governmental fund financial statements (modified accrual accounting) with governmental activities (full
accrual accounting) on the appropriate government-wide statements. The following summarizes the impact of
transitioning from modified accrual to full accrual accounting:
• Capital assets used in governmental activities are not reported on governmental fund statements.
• Certain revenues that are earned, but not available for use within the reporting period, are reported as
revenues for governmental activities, but are reported as deferred revenue on the governmental fund
statements.
• Other long-term assets that are not available to pay for current period expenditures are deferred in
governmental fund statements,but not deferred on the government-wide statements.
• Internal service funds are reported as governmental activities, but reported as proprietary funds in the
fund financial statements.
-5-
• Bond issuance costs, discounts and premiums in the issuance of long term debt, are reported as
expenditures in governmental fund statements,but are capitalized and amortized in the government-wide
statements.
• Unless due and payable, long-term liabilities, such as capital lease obligations, compensated absences,
litigation, and others only appear as liabilities in the government-wide statements.
• Capital outlay spending in excess of capitalization thresholds are recorded as capital assets on the
government-wide statements,but are reported as expenditures on the governmental fund statements.
• Bond and note proceeds result in liabilities on the government-wide statements,but are recorded as other
financing sources on the governmental fund statements.
• Certain other outflows, such as debt service principal payments, represent decreases in liabilities on the
government-wide statements,but are reported as expenditures on the governmental fund statements.
The Notes to the Basic 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 can be
found beginning on page 49 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements (Reporting the City's Major Funds)
The City's Major Funds are identified as its Sewage Disposal Fund, and it's Parking System Fund, along with
its General Fund. The major fund financial statements begin on page 24. In addition to major funds,
individual fund data for the nonmajor funds begins on page 94. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a
self-balancing set of accounts that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for
a particular purpose.
• Governmental funds -- Most of the City's basic services are reported in the governmental funds, which
focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that are available
for future spending. The governmental fund financial statements provide a detailed short-term view of
the City's general government operations and the basic services it provides. Governmental fund
information helps determine whether there are greater or fewer financial resources that can be spent in
the near future to finance the City's programs. These funds are reported using modified accrual
accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash.
Governmental funds include the General Fund and special revenue, capital project, debt service, and
permanent funds.
• Proprietary funds -- When the City charges customers for the services it provides, whether to outside
customers or to other agencies within the City,these services are generally reported in proprietary funds.
Proprietary funds (enterprise and internal service) utilize full accrual accounting; the same method used
by private sector businesses. Enterprise funds report activities that provide supplies and services to the
general public. Examples are the Sewage Disposal Fund and the Parking Fund. Internal service funds are
reported as governmental activities on the government-wide statements.
• Fiduciary Funds -- The City acts as a trustee or fiduciary, for its employee pension plans. It is also
responsible for other assets that, because of a trust arrangement, can be used only for the trust
beneficiaries. The City's fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net Assets
and Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets beginning on page 38. These funds, which include pension and
other employee benefit funds, are reported using full accrual accounting. The government-wide
statements exclude fiduciary fund activities and balances because these assets are restricted in purpose
and do not represent spendable assets of the City to finance its operations.

Additional Required Supplementary Information
Following the basic financial statements is additional Required Supplementary Information that further
explains and supports the information in the financial statements. The Required Supplementary Information
includes required pension and other postemployment benefit supplementary information.
Other Supplementary Information
Other supplementary information includes combining financial statements for nonmajor governmental,
proprietary, and fiduciary funds. These funds are added together, by fund type, and presented in single
columns in the basic financial statements, but are not reported individually, as with major funds, on the
governmental fund financial statements.

or construct the assets. Restricted net assets are the next largest component, comprising 5.8%, is subject to
external restrictions such as bond covenants, City Charter, State legislation or Constitutional provision. The
remaining portion, unrestricted net assets are resources that may be used at the City's discretion, but often
have limitations based on policy action.

Property taxes comprised 26.1%, or $37.2 million, of Governmental Activity revenue, with $606,598
representing debt service on voted unlimited tax general obligation debt. The City's operating millage is
currently 15.44 mills. In accordance with Charter and State Constitutional provisions, the City may levy up to
19.1692 mills for operations in FY 2011. 3.73 potential mills remain unlevied, which equates to
approximately$6.8 million in potential,but unlevied,property tax revenue.
Income taxes comprised 20.1%, or$28.7 million, of Governmental Activity revenue which,the full amount of
which is revenue to the General Fund. Local income tax rates are prescribed by State law, and limited in
Lansing's case to 1% of resident income and 0.5% of the income of persons working in the City, but living
outside of its corporate boundaries.
Restricted Operating Grants and Contributions made up $30.2 million, or 21.1% of Governmental Activity
revenue. In this category, $13.1 million are recurring revenues from: State Gas & Weight tax revenues
restricted for streets; Community Development, HOME, and Emergency Shelter entitlement grants; and drug
forfeiture funds restricted for drug enforcement efforts. The remaining $17.1 million is attributable to non-
entitlement grants.
-9-
Unrestricted Grants and Contributions account for the next-largest category of Governmental Activity
Revenue, comprising 19.1%, or$27.2 million, of revenues. Just-less-than-half of this category, $14.2 million,
is attributed to State revenue sharing, an amount distributed to municipalities by the State of Michigan by
formula allocation of portions of the State sales tax and motor fuel and weight taxes. Equity payments from
the independently-managed-and-operated Board of Water and Light account for$11.7 million of the category,
with remaining $1.3 million coming from payments from the State of Michigan for a payment in lieu of tax
for its fire protection for its properties and reimbursement of liquor license enforcement costs.

Business-type Activities
Net assets of the business-type activities increased by $6.4 million during the fiscal year. The main cause of
this increase was the result of the receipt of federal stimulus dollars for the City's Combined Sewer Overflow
(CSO) and tertiary building projects, sewer fund operations needed to support the CSO-incurred debt long-
term, and the conversion of a loan to a grant in the City's parking system.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY'S FUND STATEMENTS
As the City completed the fiscal year, its governmental funds (see pages 24-29) reported combined ending
fund balances of$20.3 million. Of this, $10.6 million is legally restricted and/or unavailable to spend (i.e.
amounts tied up in inventories), and $5.1 million is committed for designated projects, leaving $4.6 million
unrestricted/uncommitted, which is the "unassigned" the amounts in the City's General Fund and Budget
Stabilization Fund.
-10-
General Fund and Budgetary Highlights
The FY 2010/2011 budget was adopted as a balanced budget,based on projected revenues,without any use of
reserves. Due to the continued effects of the "Great Recession," income tax revenues and property tax
revenues, affected by bankruptcies, came in lower than anticipated. At the same time, the City experienced
higher-than anticipated healthcare and liability claims costs. During the fiscal year, revenue projections were
downgraded and expenses adjusted accordingly, and the budget was amended to include a$1.2 million use of
reserves, $911,972 of which was needed at year-end.
The FY 2011/2012 budget, adopted a level commensurate with the revenue levels experienced in FY
2010/2011, does not include any use of reserves.
Sewage Disposal Fund
Net assets increased $4.5 million to $225.0 million in FY 2011. $1.4 million of that increase was due to the
receipt of American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) monies for its Combined Sewer Overflow
(CSO) and tertiary building projects. The remaining $3.7 million of the increase resulted from operations
during the fiscal year necessary to fund the long-term debt associated with the CSO program.
Parking Fund
The Municipal Parking Fund net assets increased $2.1 million, the main reason for the increase being a
conversion of a loan from the State of Michigan to a grant. Operationally,the parking system had a$455,000
loss as a result of scheduled parking ramp maintenance.
Capital Assets
Capital Assets: At the end of the fiscal year 2011, the City had invested $623.8 million, net of accumulated
depreciation, in a broad range of capital assets (see the table below). Additional information regarding the
City's capital assets can be found in the notes to the basic financial statements. For more detailed

Debt Administration
The City, along with the Lansing Building Authority (LBA), a blended component unit of the City, is
empowered by law to authorize, issue, and sell debt obligations. Limited tax and unlimited tax general
obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the City. The City also issues revenue-dedicated
bonded debt, whose payment for principal and interest comes solely out of funds that receive legally-
restricted revenues. The Sewage Disposal fund has the City's only dedicated revenue bonds currently
outstanding. LBA's bonds financed the construction of parking, golf course, and firing range improvements.
Revenues derived from user fees from persons using parking and golf facilities fund the debt service
requirements for related improvements, but they are also backed by a limited tax pledge. More detailed
information regarding the City's long-term obligations is presented in Note 3-G (Long-Term Debt) to the
financial statements.

During the year, the City issued debt of $3.2 million in limited tax general obligation bonds for the
consolidation of its fleet/garage operations from two facilities to one and$5.1 million to refund sewer and fire
station bond issues. More detailed information regarding these activities and funds can be found in footnote 3-
G,Long Term Debt which begins on page 70.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The State of Michigan's economic challenges, including the national recession, American automobile
industry crisis, housing market and foreclosure impacts on property tax revenues, combined with rising labor
force and healthcare costs, continues to place budgetary and fiscal constraints on the City of Lansing. A
structural imbalance between revenue and expenditure growth exists, as is the case for the majority of cities,
especially those that are urban centers, in Michigan.
To address these budgetary challenges, and to protect vital services to the public, since his inauguration in
January, 2006, Mayor Bernero has implemented a budgetary strategy of maximizing revenues; reducing
expenses; improving operational and technological efficiencies; consolidating like functions; collaborating
with neighboring municipalities, counties, and non-profit entities to provide funding for City-owned assets
that benefit the entire region. The Mayor also continues to work aggressively with the unions to contain the
rising cost of healthcare and other compensation costs.
-12-
In this historic economic downturn, including the credit crisis in the private sector, the City saw significant
economic development announcements and national recognition(see Economic Condition and Outlook in the
Transmittal Letter). The City is poised to experience continued, significant economic growth in the next
several years. As with other municipalities, especially in Michigan,the City government will continue to face
significant challenges in this climate of declining property values and revenues in the face of rising
compensation, healthcare, and energy costs. The Mayor is committed to directing the City in a fiscally
responsible manner by living within the City's means and not relying on reserves to balance the budget.

to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended June 30,2011
Net change in fund balances-total governmental funds $ (6,803,642)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However,in the statement
of activities,the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as
depreciation expense.
Capital assets purchased/constructed 6,044,729
Depreciation expense (13,422,293)
Loss on disposal of capital assets (693,706)
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds,but rather are deferred to subsequent
fiscal years.
Change in deferred ambulance fees receivable 347,560
Change in deferred nuisance fees receivable (101,659)
Change in deferred loans receivable 53,076
Change in long-term interest receivable 69,250
Change in deferred special assessments receivable 21,078
Change in deferred taxes and tax settlement receivables 140,137

Gain on sale of capital assets from governmental internal service funds 108,601
Interest expense from governmental internal service funds (103,510)

period issued,but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of
net assets. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the funds,but the
repayment reduces long-tern liabilities in the statement of net assets.

Principal payments on long-term liabilities 3,210,220
Payments to refunded bond escrow agent 2,456,207

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1 —SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1-A. Reporting Entity
The City of Lansing (the "City") was incorporated in 1859. In 1909, the City came under the
provisions of Act 279, P.A. 1909, as amended ("Home Rule City Act"). The City operates
under a strong Mayor form of government in which the Mayor is responsible for
implementation and administration of City policy as established by City Council.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform in all material respects to generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to governments. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles, which are primarily set forth in
the GASB's Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards
(GASB Codification). Following is a summary of the significant policies:
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the
City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable. The financial data of the component units are included in the City's reporting
entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
(1) Blended Component Units: A blended component unit is a legally separate entity from
the City but is so intertwined with the City that it is, in substance, the same as the City.
It is reported as part of the City and its financial data is combined with data of the
appropriate funds. The City has one blended component unit, the Building Authority
with a fiscal June 30 year-end. This component unit provides services primarily to
benefit the City. The blended unit is described as follows:
(a) Building Authority (the "Authority"): The Authority was established by the City
under Act 31, Michigan Public Acts of 1948. The Mayor, with the advice and
consent of City Council, appoints the Authority's governing body and designates
management. The Authority uses the proceeds of its tax-exempt bonds to finance
the construction or acquisition of capital assets for the City only. The bonds are
secured by lease agreements with the City and will be retired through lease
payments from the City. The financial activity, assets, liabilities and equity of the
Authority are incorporated within the City's Municipal Parking System and Golf
enterprise funds, and the 1998 Building Authority Debt Service Fund.
(2) Discretely Presented Component Units: Discretely presented component units are
entities that are legally separate from the City but for which the City is financially
accountable, or their relationship with the City is such that exclusion would cause the
City's financial statements to be misleading or incomplete. The City has four discretely
presented component units, the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, the Tax
Increment Financing Authority, the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities
Authority, and the Smart Zone, each with a fiscal June 30 year-end. The discretely
presented component units are as follows:
-49-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
(a) Brownfield Redevelopment Authority: The Brownfield Redevelopment
Authority was established by the City on August 17, 1997, under the authority
contained in Act 381, Michigan Public Acts of 1996 (the "Act"). The Act authorizes
the City to establish and to designate the boundaries of a Brownfield redevelopment
zone. The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority is appointed by City Council to
preside over such a zone, and it is authorized to promote the revitalization of
environmentally distressed areas within the City of Lansing. The Act allows the
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority to participate in a broad range of
improvement activities intended to encourage the reuse of industrial and
commercial property by offering economic incentives for redevelopment to prevent
property value deterioration. Tax increment financing plans must be approved by
the City.
Tax increment financing permits the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority to
capture tax revenues which are attributable to increases in the value of real and
personal property located within an approved project area. Current activities of the
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority include collections of property tax revenues
on project areas for the Rite Aid Pharmacy and the former Motor Wheel Site Plant.
(b) Tax Increment Finance Authority ("TIFA"): The TIFA was established by the
City under the authority contained in Act 450, Michigan Public Acts of 1981 ("Act
450"). Act 450 authorizes the City to designate specific districts within its
corporate limits as TIFA districts. The TIFA presides over such districts,
formulating plans for public improvements, economic development, neighborhood
revitalization, and historic preservation within the districts. Act 450 allows the
TIFA to participate in a broad range of improvement activities intended to
contribute to economic growth and prevent property value deterioration. The
TIFA's governing body is appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of
the City Council. Bond issuances, to fund the above activities, are approved by the
City Council and the legal liability for the debt remains with the City.
(c) Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority ("LEPFA"): LEPFA
was established under the charter of the City of Lansing in February 1996, replacing
the former Greater Lansing Convention/Exhibition Authority, which had been
responsible for operating and managing the Lansing Center and the Lansing Civic
Arena (the latter through the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995). LEPFA was
established to oversee the management and operations of the Lansing Center, the
City Market and the Cooley Law School stadium.
LEPFA is chartered as a building authority under the provisions of Act 31, Public
Acts of Michigan, 1948. In the event of dissolution or termination of LEPFA, all
assets and rights of the Authority shall revert to the City. LEPFA's Board of
Commissioners consists of thirteen members appointed by the Mayor of the City of
Lansing and approved by the City Council.
-50-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
(d) Lansing Regional SmartZone ("Smart Zone"): The Smart Zone was established
by the City of Lansing and the City of East Lansing under the authority contained in
Act 281, Public Act of Michigan of 1986 ("Act 281"). Act 281 authorizes the Cities
to create a multi jurisdictional local development finance authority. The Smart
Zone shall be known and exercise its powers under title of the Local Development
Finance Authority of the Cities of Lansing and East Lansing. The Smart Zone is
fiscally dependent on the City of Lansing; the City approves the annual budget and
is responsible for managing the Smart Zone. The Smart Zone was created in order
to eliminate the conditions of unemployment, underemployment and joblessness,
and to promote economic growth in the City. The Smart Zone's Board of
Commissioners consists of seven members, three of which are appointed by the City
of Lansing, three are appointed by the City of East Lansing, and one is appointed by
the Ingham County Board of Commissioners.
Component Unit Financial Statements: Complete financial statements for the individual
component units may be obtained from each entity's administrative offices. Separate financial
statements are not prepared for the Smart Zone.

1-B. Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements. The statements of net assets and activities display
information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These statements
include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities.
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. These
statements distinguish between the City's governmental and business-type activities. Governmental
activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange
transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external
parties.
-51-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues
for the different business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City's governmental
activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and,
therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expense allocations that have been
made in the funds have been reversed for the statement of activities. Program revenues include (a)
fees, fines and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are
presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements. The fund financial statements provide information about the City's
funds, including its fiduciary funds and blended component unit. Separate statements for each fund
category—governmental,proprietary and fiduciary— are presented. The emphasis of fund financial
statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All
remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.
The City reports the following major governmental fund:
General fund. This fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts and reports all
financial resources not accounted for and reported in another fund.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Sewage Disposal System Fund. This fund accounts for the provision of sewage disposal services
to the residents of the City.
Municipal Parking System Fund. This fund accounts for the operation of City-owned parking
facilities.
Additionally, the City reports the following fund types:
Special revenue funds. These funds account for and report the proceeds of specific revenue
sources that are restricted or committed to expenditure for specified purposes other than debt
service or capital projects.
Debt service funds. These funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted,
committed, or assigned to expenditure for principal and interest on long-term general obligation
debt of governmental funds.
Capital projects funds. These funds account for and report financial resources that are restricted,
committed, or assigned to expenditure for capital outlays, including the acquisition or
construction of capital facilities and other capital assets.
Permanent funds. These funds account for resources that are legally restricted to the extent that
only earnings, and not principal, may be used for purposes that support the government's
programs.
-52-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Enterprise funds. These funds account for those operations that are financed and operated in a
manner similar to private business or where the City has decided that the determination of
revenues earned, costs incurred and/or net income is necessary for management accountability.
Internal service funds. These funds account for operations that provide services to other
departments or agencies of the City, or to other governments, on a cost-reimbursement basis.
This includes operating a maintenance facility for trucks and equipment used by the Public
Service Department, and health care self-insurance services.
Pension and other postemployment benefit trust funds. These funds account for the
accumulation of resources to be used for retirement annuity payments to eligible full-time
employees of the City, certain healthcare costs, and other retirement distributions.
Agency funds. These funds account for resources held in a trustee or agent capacity for the 54-A
District Court.
1-C. Measurement Focus/Basis of Accounting
Government-wide, proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements. The government-wide,
proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except for agency funds, which do not have
a measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each
parry receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and
investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the City's enterprise and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and
services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of
sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Nonexchange transactions, in which the City gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or
giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an
accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are
levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all
eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
-53-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Governmental fund financial statements. Governmental funds are reported using the current
financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this
method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues
reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within three months after
year-end, except for income taxes that use a 45-day collection period, property taxes that use a 60-
day collection period, and reimbursement-based grants that use one year. Property taxes, income
taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and
interest on general long-term debt, compensated absences, and claims and judgments, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are
reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and
acquisitions under capital leases, if any, are reported as other financing sources.
Under the terms of grant agreements, the City funds certain programs by a combination of specific
cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program
expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the
program. It is the City's policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs,
followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues, subject to satisfying any grant
program matching provisions.
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 and various other
functions of the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
1-D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity
Deposits and Investments
The City maintains an investment pool for all City funds. Each fund's portion of the investment
pool is displayed on the statement of net assets/balance sheet as "equity in pooled cash." 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.
Restricted cash consists of amounts required to be maintained separately in accordance with bond
covenants.
State statutes authorize the government to deposit in the accounts of federally insured banks, credit
unions, and savings and loan associations, and to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, certain
commercial paper, repurchase agreements, bankers' acceptances, and mutual funds composed of
otherwise legal investments.
-54-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Investments are stated at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which
approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the
last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Mortgages are valued on the basis of future
principal and interest payments, and are discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar
instruments. Investments that do not have established market values are reported at estimated fair
value. Cash deposits are reported at carrying amounts, which reasonably approximates fair value.
Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on pension and other postemployment benefit trust fund
investments due to changes in fair value are recognized each year.
Receivables and Payables
All trade and delinquent property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles,
as applicable.
Certain notes receivable in governmental funds consist of rehabilitation and redevelopment loans
that are generally not expected or scheduled to be collected in the subsequent year.
Certain restricted receivables in business type funds are for an external agreement related to the
effective sale of land.
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal 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. Any
residual balances outstanding between the governmental and business-type activities are reported in
the government-wide financial statements as internal balances.
Inventories,Prepaid Items and Other Assets
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out method. Inventories of governmental
funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
Costs related to the issuance of long-term debt are amortized over the term of the related debt on a
straight-line basis. The net unamortized costs at year-end is reported as "bond issue costs" in
proprietary fund financial statements and as a component of"other assets" in the government-wide
financial statements.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items acquired or constructed since June 30, 1980), are reported in
the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets that are used for governmental activities are only reported in the
-55-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
government-wide statements. Infrastructure ("public domain") assets, including roads, bridges,
sanitary sewers, drains, curbs, and gutters are capitalized. With this measurement focus, all assets
and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with the operations of these funds are
included on the government-wide statement of net assets.
All land and non-depreciable land improvements are capitalized, regardless of cost. Equipment and
vehicles are capitalized when the cost of individual items exceed $5,000. The road and sewer
networks are all capitalized regardless of cost. Buildings are capitalized over $100,000, and the
recreational facilities' thresholds range from$25,000 to $50,000.
Capital assets of the primary government are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 20-50
Improvements 8-50
Equipment 3-15
Sanitary sewers 50
Infrastructure 10-75
Compensated Absences
It is the government's policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and
compensatory time benefits, subject to certain limitations. Certain bargaining unit employees are
also permitted to accumulate earned but unused sick leave. All vacation and compensatory time pay
and 50 percent of sick leave are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary
fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if
they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations or retirements.
Lonz-term Obli,-ations
In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the
applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type statement of
net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over
the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and
amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts,
as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported
as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
-56-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Fund Equity
Governmental funds report nonspendable fund balance for amounts that cannot be spent because
they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) legally or contractually required to be maintained
intact. Restricted fund balance is reported when externally imposed constraints are placed on the
use of resources by grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments. Committed
fund balance is reported for amounts that can only be used for specific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed by formal action of the government's highest level of decision-making
authority, the City Council. A formal resolution of the City Council is required to establish, modify,
or rescind a fund balance commitment. The City reports assigned fund balance for amounts that are
constrained by the government's intent to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted
nor committed. The City currently has no assigned fund balance, as the City Council has not yet
given the authority for the making of such assignments. Unassigned fund balance is the residual
classification for the general fund.
When the government incurs an expenditure for purposes for which various fund balance
classifications can be used, it is the government's policy to use restricted fund balance first, then
committed fund balance, assigned fund balance, and finally unassigned fund balance.
NOTE 2—STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
2-A. Budgetary Information
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
■ On or before the fourth Monday in March, the Mayor submits to the City Council a proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
■ A public hearing on the proposed use of funds is held by the Mayor, and a public hearing on the
annual appropriations as proposed by the City Council is held no later than one week prior to
adoption of the annual appropriation measure.
■ Not later than the third Monday in May, the Council adopts a budget for the ensuing fiscal year,
makes an appropriation of the money needed therefore, and sets the property tax rate necessary
to support the appropriations measure.
■ The appropriated budget is prepared by fund, department and the mandatory expenditure
accounts as established by the State of Michigan's Uniform Chart of Accounts except for the
state and federal programs special revenue fund which is adopted on a project basis. The legal
level of budgetary control is the mandatory expenditure accounts level. The mandatory accounts
are personal services, supplies and operating expense, capital outlay, debt service, transfers and
contingency. Transfers of appropriations between the mandatory accounts require the approval
of the City Council. However, the Mayor may authorize budget transfers between mandatory
accounts in a department, but the additional amount may not exceed fifteen (15%) of the
Council's appropriation being added to, or five thousand dollars ($5,000),whichever is less.
-57-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Budget-to-actual schedules that demonstrate compliance at the legal level of budgetary control
are not included herein as it would be impractical due to the high level of detail that would be
needed. Such schedules are included in the City's separately issued Budget Report. Copies of
the report may be obtained from the Finance Department, 124 West Michigan Avenue, Lansing,
Michigan 48933.
■ The City formally adopts operating budgets for the general fund and all special revenue funds.
■ Budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all
budgeted funds. Except for the general fund, these budgets are adopted on a basis consistent
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the general fund, capital lease
payments/installment payments are budgeted, but capital lease acquisitions are not.
■ Appropriations lapse at year-end for all annual budgets. Appropriations are automatically
carried forward for project-type budgets.
2-B. Deficit Fund Balance/Net Assets
Governmental activities reported a deficit in unrestricted net assets in the amount of$18,799,588 at
June 30, 2011. Total net assets amounted to a positive $176,508,091.
The community development block grant program special revenue fund reported a deficit
unassigned fund balance of $200,000. Total fund balance (which included $200,000 classified as
nonspendable related to a long-term advance), was $0.
The special assessments capital projects fund reported a deficit fund balance of$171,285. The fund
received a long-term advance from the general fund that was used to provide the working capital for
the fund in prior years. The deficit is the result of deferred special assessments receivable. As
special assessments are collected, this deficit will be eliminated, and the advance repaid.
The fringe benefits internal service fund has a deficit net asset balance of$473,392. This deficit will
be eliminated in future periods through adjustments to the internal charges to other funds.
The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority reported a deficit in unrestricted net assets in the amount
of$378,162 and the Tax Increment Finance Authority reported a deficit in unrestricted net assets in
the amount of$34,344,177 at June 30, 2011. These deficits are a result of full-accrual accounting
for long-term debt, without reflect a corresponding receivable for tax captures to be received in
future periods (which cannot be accrued in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles).

Custodial Credit Risk—Deposits. Custodial credit risk is the risk that in the event of a bank failure,
the City's deposits may not be returned. State law does not require and the City does not have a
policy for deposit custodial credit risk. As of year-end, $34,243,594 of the City's bank balance of
$35,031,701 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and uncollateralized.
-59-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
The City's investment policy does not specifically address this risk, although the City believes that
due to the dollar amounts of cash deposits and the limits of FDIC insurance, it is impractical to
insure all bank deposits. As a result, the City evaluates each financial institution with which it
deposits City funds and assesses the level of risk of each institution; only those institutions with an
acceptable estimated risk level are used as depositories.
Custodial Credit Risk—Investments. Following is a summary of the City's pooled investments as of
June 30, 2011:
Government agencies $ 1,999,577
Mutual funds 1,753,923
Total $ 3,753,500
For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty,
the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or collateral securities that are in the
possession of an outside party. State law does not require and the City does not have a policy for
investment custodial credit risk. On the investments listed above, there is no custodial credit risk, as
these investments are uncategorized as to credit risk.
Credit Risk. State law limits investments to specific government securities, certificates of deposit
and bank accounts with qualified financial institutions, commercial paper with specific maximum
maturities and ratings when purchased, bankers acceptances of specific financial institutions,
qualified mutual funds and qualified external investment pools as identified in the list of authorized
investments in the summary of significant accounting policies. The City's investment policy does
not have specific limits in excess of state law on investment credit risk. Credit risk ratings, where
applicable, are summarized as follows:
S&P AAA/AAAm $ 2,108,790
Unrated 1,644,710
Total $ 3,753,500
Interest Rate Risk. State law limits the allowable investments and the maturities of some of the
allowable investments as identified in the summary of significant accounting policies. The City's
investment policy does not have specific limits in excess of state law on investment maturities as a
means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. Maturity
dates for investments held at year-end are summarized as follows:
Due in 1 to 5 years $ 1,999,577
No maturity 1,753,923
Total $ 3,753,500

of state law on concentration of credit risk. All investments held at year end are reported above.
3-B. Deposits, Investments and Securities Lending — Pension and Other Postemployment
Benefit Trust Funds
The deposits and investments of the City's pension and other postemployment benefit trust funds
are maintained separately from the City's pooled cash and investments, and are subject to separate
investment policies and State statutes. Accordingly, the required disclosures for the pension and
OPEB deposits and investments are presented separately.
Deposits - The pension and OPEB trust funds do not maintain any checking or other demand/time
deposit accounts. Amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents in the statement of plan net assets
are composed entirely of short-term investments in money market accounts.
Investments - The Michigan Public Employees Retirement Systems' Investment Act, Public Act
314 of 1965, as amended, authorizes the pension trust funds to invest in stocks, government and
corporate securities, mortgages, real estate, and various other investment instruments, subject to
certain limitations. The retirement boards have the responsibility and authority to oversee the
investment portfolio. Various professional investment managers are contracted to assist in
managing the pension trust funds' assets. All investment decisions are subject to Michigan law and
the investment policy established by the retirement boards.
The investments of each pension trust fund are held in a bank administered trust fund. Following is

Custodial Credit Risk. For investments, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City's pension investment
policies require that investment securities be held in trust by a third-parry institution in the name of
the pension trust fund. As such, although uninsured and unregistered, the City's pension
investments are not exposed to custodial credit risk since the securities are held by the
counterparty's trust department in the name of the pension trust fund.

Securities Lending. Under contracts approved by the City, the pension and OPEB trust funds are
permitted to lend their securities to broker-dealers and banks (borrowers) for collateral that will be
returned for the same securities in the future. The pension trust and OPEB funds' custodial banks
manage the securities lending programs and receive cash as collateral. The collateral securities
cannot be pledged or sold by the City unless the borrower defaults. Collateral cash is initially
pledged at 100 percent of the fair value of the securities lent, and may not fall below 95 percent of
the market value of the loaned security during the term of the loan. At all times, collateral cannot be
more than $100,000 less than the market value of the loaned security. There are no restrictions on
the amount of securities that can be loaned.
Securities on loan at year-end are classified in the preceding schedule of custodial credit risk
according to the category for the collateral received on the securities lent. At year-end, the pension
trust funds have no credit risk exposure to borrowers because the amounts the City owes the
borrowers exceed the amounts the borrowers owe the City. At June 30, 2011, the fair value of
securities on loan by the Employees' Retirement System and the Police and Fire Retirement System
were $19,062,882 and $22,758,391, respectively, for which the Plans' received cash collateral of
$19,355,677 and $23,155,846, respectively. The contract with the pension and OPEB trust fund
custodians require them to indemnify the City if the borrowers fail to return the securities (and if the
collateral is inadequate to replace the securities lent) or fail to pay the City for income distributions
by the securities' issuers while the securities are on loan.

CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
The City is permitted by charter and state law to levy taxes up to $19.198 per $1,000 of assessed
valuation for general operations other than the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt.

4-C. Contingent Liabilities
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and potential adjustment
by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts
already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds.
The amount, if any, of expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined
at this time although the government expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The government is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not
presently determinable, it is the opinion of the government's counsel that resolution of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the government.
4-D. Pension Plans
Employees' Retirement System
The City sponsors and administers the Employees' Retirement System (the "Plan"), a single-
employer, defined-benefit pension plan. It is accounted for as a separate pension trust fund. No
stand-alone financial reports are issued. It covers general full-time employees of the City of
Lansing and employees of the 54-A District Court. It does not include elected officials, who are
members of the Employees' Money Purchase Pension Plan, nor does it include police officers and
firefighters, who are members of a separate City pension plan. The payroll for employees covered
by the plan for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $30,601,855; the City's total payroll was
$61,044,500. Administration of the plan is funded through the general fund.
As of December 31, 2009, employee membership data was as follows:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees entitled
to benefits but not yet receiving them $6_1
Active members:
Vested 292
Nonvested 278
570
-77-
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Approximately 13% of the active membership may retire with a combination of age plus service
equal to 65. All other members may retire at age 50 with 25 or more years of credited service or
age 58 with 8 or more years of credited service. Members are vested after completing 8 years of
credited service. For all members, annual regular retirement allowances are determined by
multiplying total credited service times 1.6% to 2.8% times final average compensation. Final
average compensation is the member's highest wages for two consecutive years during the last 10
years. Retirement options that provide for survivor benefits are available to members. The plan also
provides death and disability benefits. If a member leaves employment or dies before vesting,
accumulated member contributions plus interest are refunded to the member or designated
beneficiary. Members who are vested and terminate their employment have the option of deferring
retirement benefits until age 58 or withdrawing their contribution, thereby forfeiting any future
benefits.
Active members contribute between 1.7% and 7.25% of wages as determined by individual labor
agreements. Chapter 292 of the City of Lansing's Code of Ordinances establishes benefit provisions
and requires that the annuity and pension reserves (which are determined annually by the City's
actuary)not financed by member contributions shall be financed by annual appropriations.
The City's funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined
rates that expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll, are designed to accumulate sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due. The normal cost and amortization payment for the year ended
June 30, 2011, was determined using an entry age actuarial funding method. Unfunded actuarial
accrued liabilities are being amortized as a level percent of payroll over an open period of 30 years.
Contributions are recognized when due pursuant to formal commitments, as well as statutory or
contractual requirements. The fund is accounted for in essentially the same manner as the
proprietary funds and uses the full accrual method of accounting.
Plan valuation assets are equal to the reported market value of assets except that only 20% of the
difference between the mark-to-market rate of return and the 8% actuarial rate of return is
recognized each year. This five year smoothing method reduces the fluctuation in the City's
computed contribution rate which might otherwise be caused by market value fluctuations. The
entry-age actuarial cost method is used to determine plan liabilities. Significant actuarial
assumptions used in determining the entry-age actuarial accrued liability include (a) a rate of return
on investments of 8% per year compounded annually (b) projected salary increases of 4%
attributable to inflation and 0% to 3.5% per year depending on age attributable to seniority/merit (c)
assumption that benefits generally will not increase after retirement.
During the year ended June 30, 2011, total contributions of$8,867,238 were made in accordance
with actuarially determined requirements computed through an actuarial valuation performed as of
December 31, 2009. The City contributed $7,297,083 (22.63% of projected valuation payroll),
excluding contributions for health insurance; employees contributed $1,570,155 (4.33% of
projected valuation payroll). The City's contribution consisted of (a) $3,327,702 normal cost
(10.32% of projected valuation payroll) and (b) $3,969,381 amortization of the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability (12.31% of projected valuation payroll).

Police and Fire Retirement System
The City sponsors and administers the Police and Fire Retirement System (the "Plan"), a single-
employer defined-benefit pension plan. It is accounted for as a separate pension trust fund. No
stand-alone financial reports are issued. It covers all police officers and firefighters who are full-
time employees of the City. The City's payroll for employees covered by the plan for the year
ended December 31, 2009, was $30,442,645, the City's total payroll was $61,044,500.
Administration of the plan is funded through the general fund.
As of December 31, 2009, employee membership data related to the plan was as follows:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees entitled
to benefits but not yet receiving them bm
Active members:
Vested 297
Nonvested 161
Members may retire at any age with 25 or more years of credited service, or age 55 with 10 or more
years of credited service. Members are vested after completing 10 years of credited service.
Members are required to retire at age 70. Annual retirement allowances are determined by
multiplying final average compensation by 3.2% for the first 25 years of credited service. The
maximum allowance is 80% of final average compensation. Final average compensation is the
member's highest wages for 2 consecutive years.
When an employee who had retired subsequent to August 31, 1966, dies, the plan provides for an
automatic pension to the retiree's spouse. This automatic pension is equal to 50% of the regular
retirement benefit the employee had been receiving at time of death. Effective July 30, 1990,
members may elect a reduced benefit, either 93% or 86% of the regular benefit, thereby increasing
the spouse pension to 75% or 86% of the regular benefit, respectively. Alternately, members may
elect a non-spousal beneficiary option. The plan provides death and disability benefits. If a member
leaves employment or dies before vesting, accumulated member contributions plus interest are
refunded to the member or designated beneficiary. Members who are vested and terminate their
employment have the option of deferred retirement benefits until age 55 or withdrawing their
contribution, thereby forfeiting any future benefits.
Fire members are required to contribute 7.58% of their annual wages to the plan. Police supervisors
are required to contribute 9.52% and police non-supervisors, 8.50%. Chapter 294 of the City of
Lansing's Ordinance establishes benefit provisions and requires that the portion of the annuity and
pension reserves (which are determined annually by the City's actuary) not financed by member
contributions shall be financed by annual appropriations.
In addition to the payments under this plan, the City made payments from the general fund to
provide benefits for the beneficiaries of a prior pension plan. This prior plan was superseded by the
present plan as of January 1, 1944. There were no payments made to beneficiaries under that plan.

Employees' Money Purchase Pension Plan
The City of Lansing sponsors and contributes to the Employees' Money Purchase Pension Plan (the
"Plan"), which is a single-employer defined - contribution pension plan. Administration of the plan
is funded by the general fund.
A defined contribution pension plan provides pension benefits in return for services rendered,
provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how contributions to the
individual's account are to be determined instead of specifying the amount of benefits the individual
is to receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive
depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant's account and the returns earned on
investments of those contributions. As established by Chapter 292.30 of the City of Lansing's Code
of Ordinances, this plan includes all elected officials hired subsequent to September 30, 1990. As
of June 30, 2011, there were 8 active members in this plan. Contributions made by employees vest
immediately, and contributions made by the City vest after three years of full-time employment.
When employees terminate employment, they are entitled to their contributions and the City's
contributions if vesting requirements are satisfied. Employees may contribute up to 8% of their
wages in 1% increments. The City contributes an amount equal to 6.0% of the employees' wages
for retirement benefits.
During the year, the City's required and actual contributions amounted to $17,633, which was
approximately 6% of covered payroll of$298,155. There were no employee contributions.
No pension provision changes occurred during the year that affected the required contributions to be
made by the City. In addition, the plan does not issue stand-alone financial statements.

4-E. Other Postemployment Benefit Plans
Plan Descriptions. The City of Lansing contributes to the Employees' Retirement System, the
Police and Fire Retirement System, and the Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association amounts
to pre-fund postemployment healthcare. In the Employees' Retirement System and the Police and
Fire Retirement System, these other postemployment benefits (OPEB) are set up as reserves in the
pension plans, and their investments are commingled with the investments of the pension. Portfolio
makeup is reported as a percentage of total pension plan assets. Earnings are calculated based on a
seven year smoothed rate of return of the retirement systems. Eligible participants include any
retirees who receive pension benefits under the respective pension plans. OPEB plan provisions are
established and may be amended by the City Council, subject to the City's various collective
bargaining agreements. Separate financial statements are not prepared for the plans.
Basis of Accounting. The Plans' financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of
accounting. Plan member contributions are recognized in the period in which the contributions are
due. Employer contributions are recognized when due and the employer has made a formal
commitment to provide the contributions. Benefits and refunds are recognized when due and
payable in accordance with the terms of the plans.
Method Used to Value Investments. Plan investments are reported at fair value. Securities traded on
a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current exchange
rates. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair
values as determined by the custodian under the direction of each plans' board of trustees, with the
assistance of a valuation service.
Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA)
The City of Lansing Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (the "Plan") is a single-
employer defined benefit post employment healthcare plan established by the City to provide
medical and healthcare benefits for retirees and their beneficiaries. Eligible participants include any
retirees who receive pension benefits under one of the City's pension plans. The Plan is funded by a
trust agreement established pursuant to Section 501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code that allows
for the formation of a VEBA. During the year, the City made no contributions to the Plan.
Employees' Retirement System
The City provides postemployment health care benefits, in accordance with labor agreements, to
full-time employees of the City and employees of the 54-A District Court (not including police
officers and firefighters who are members of the Police and Fire Retirement System). Members
eligible for pension benefits under the Employees' Retirement System are also eligible to receive
health care benefits. The City provides the full cost of health benefits to retirees, payable to health
care vendors, and also reimburses retirees eligible for Medicare benefits of $96.40 per month for
each covered retiree and dependent(s). The payments are charged to the fringe benefit internal
service fund of the City and are recognized as expenses as payments are made. During the year, the
City contributed $9,773,601 to the Plan, all which was to fund current retiree premiums.

CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes to Financial Statements
Funded Status and Funding Progress. As of December 31, 2009, the most recent actuarial valuation
date, the Plan was 12.0 percent funded. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was
$203,399,633, and the actuarial value of assets was $24,363,831, resulting in an unfunded actuarial
accrued liability(UAAL) of$179,035,802. The covered payroll (annual payroll of active employees
covered by the Plan) was $30,601,855, and the ratio of the UAAL to the covered payroll was 585.0
percent. The Employees' Retirement System and VEBA were combined in the actuarial valuation.
Actuarial valuations of an ongoing plan involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and
assumptions about the probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include
assumptions about future employment, mortality, and the healthcare cost trend. Amounts
determined regarding the funded status of the plan and the annual required contributions of the
employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared with past expectations and
new estimates are made about the future. The schedule of funding progress, presented as required
supplementary information following the notes to the financial statements, presents multiyear trend
information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time
relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.
Actuarial Methods and Assumptions. Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are
based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and
include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of
sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point. The actuarial
methods and assumptions used include techniques that are designed to reduce the effects of short-
term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities and the actuarial value of assets, consistent with the
long-term perspective of the calculations.
In the December 31, 2009 actuarial valuation, the entry age actuarial cost method was used. The
actuarial assumptions included a 8.0 percent investment rate of return (net of administrative
expenses), which is a blended rate of the expected long-term investment returns on plan assets and
on the employer's own investments calculated based on the funded level of the plan at the valuation
date, and an annual healthcare cost trend rate of 9.0 percent initially, reduced by decrements to an
ultimate rate of 4.0 percent after ten years and a flat rate of 4.0 percent for Medicare Part B. Both
rates included a 4.0 percent inflation assumption. The actuarial value of assets was determined
using techniques that spread the effects of short-term volatility in the market value of investments
over a five-year period. The UAAL is being amortized as a level percentage of projected payroll on
an open basis. The remaining amortization period at December 31, 2009, was thirty years.
Police and Fire Retirement System
The City also provides postemployment health care benefits, in accordance with labor agreements,
to members who are eligible to receive pension benefits under the Police and Fire Retirement
System. The City provides the full cost of health benefits to retirees, payable to health care
vendors, and also reimburses retirees eligible for Medicare benefits of$96.40 per month for each
covered retiree and dependent(s). The payments are charged to the fringe benefit internal service
fund of the City and are recognized as expenses as payments are made. During the year, the City
contributed$9,844,226 to the Plan, all which was to fund current retiree premiums.

4-F. Restatement
Beginning fund balance of the general fund was increased by $5,750,666 in order to include the
balances for the stadium special and budget stabilization special revenue funds of $22,607 and
$5,728,059, respectively, previously reported as nonmajor governmental funds. This change is a
result of implementation of GASB Statement No. 54 Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental
Fund Type Definitions. While these funds will continue to be accounted for separately for internal
purposes, the stadium and budget stabilization funds will no longer be separately presented for
external financial reporting.
