Dear President Wood and Council Members,
The Finance Department is pleased to submit the comprehensive annual financial report for the City of Lansing,
Michigan,for the fiscal year ended June 30,2023.
The City of Lansing 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
is accurate in all material respects and is reported in a manner designed to present fairly the financial position
and results of the government operations 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 2022/2023 financial statements have been audited by Maner Costerisan, an independent
firm of licensed, certified public accountants located within the Capital Region. The goal of the independent
audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements for the City for the fiscal year-end June 30,
2023, 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 unmodified opinion on the statements,meaning the financial statements present fairly
and accurately in all material respects in conformity with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles(GAAP).
The Independent Auditor Report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) and
should be read in conjunction with it. The Management Discussion and Analysis can be found immediately
following the Independent Auditor Report.
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(Home Rule City Act). The City incorporates 34.7 square miles
and is in Michigan's Lower Peninsula within the northwestern corner of Ingham County and the northeastern
corner of Eaton County. The City operates under a mayor/council form of government,where the Mayor serves
as the chief executive of the City and is elected on an at-large basis to serve a four-year term. Lansing is a mature
core city with a population of 112,644 according to the 2020 census and offers a full range of services. During
the fiscal year ended June 30,2023,the City operated a police headquarters and precinct with 211 sworn police
officers,six fire stations with a fire protection force of 170,over 365 miles of sanitary sewers,239 miles of storm
sewers and 184 miles of combined sewers,over 413 miles of roads, 113 parks,a District Court and support for
human services and cultural events. The City's main sources of revenue are property taxes,income taxes,State
revenue sharing,Federal entitlement grants and charges for services including utility billings.
3
Reporting Entity
The financial reporting entity (the City) includes all of the funds of the primary government (i.e., the City as
legally defined)as well as its blended component unit the Lansing Building Authority. 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. 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,and the
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority are reported as discretely presented component units.
Financial Management and Control
Management of the City of Lansing is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls. These
controls are 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. This allows for the accurate presentation of 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.
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 Title
2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principals, and Audit
Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). 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.
Financial results and applicable policies affecting year-end results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, are
discussed in the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A),located immediately following the Independent
Auditor Reports.
Budgeting Controls
The annual budget serves as the foundation for the City's financial planning,policymaking and control. The City
Charter requires that the Mayor submit to the City Council a proposed budget by the fourth Monday in March.
Not later than the third Monday in May of each year,the City Council shall,by resolution,adopt a budget for the
ensuing fiscal year. Budgetary controls and limitations are noted in the Note Disclosure Section of the financial
statements.
The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system, whereby purchase order amounts are deducted
from the available budget as one technique of accomplishing budgetary control. Encumbered amounts lapse at
year-end and require City Council approval to be carried forward to the ensuing fiscal year for amounts greater
than$5,000 or greater than eight months old.
4
Local Economy
The City of Lansing is the seat of the Michigan state government. The local economy is comprised of a diversified
mix of business,health care, education, and industries. With Michigan State University, Davenport University,
Western Michigan University, and Lansing Community College, the region has a strong higher education
presence. The metro Lansing region is also home to several national insurance company headquarters and
healthcare services with two major hospitals in the City and a wide variety of technology firms. Manufacturing
also has a strong presence, especially in the automotive and biotech engineering sectors, with two General
Motors assembly plants and related facilities located in the City, including a Logistics Center and a regional
stamping plant, automotive suppliers throughout the region, production of particle accelerators, and vaccine
research and production. Within the City, major taxpayers and employers include, but are not limited to, the
health care sector - Sparrow Health Systems and McLaren Health Care Corporation, manufacturing - General
Motors,research sector- Emergent BioSolutions,Neogen Corporation,and Niowave, Inc.,and financial services
and insurance-Jackson National Life and AF Group.
Lansing serves as the cultural center for the region. Recent major investments have continued to revitalize Lansing
and power the local economy. These new projects range in size from large to small and will continue to make
Lansing a great place that offers the benefits of a big city with the affordability and convenience of a small town.
Some notable business expansion and real estate projects that are attributed to the success of the City's economic
development include:
• The City's Arts grant program continues to support local arts and culture organizations including the
Lansing Art Gallery, Impression 5 and the Lansing Symphony Orchestra. In addition, the City will be
providing$167,500 of arts impact grants through the Fiscal Year 2022/2023 City of Lansing budget.
• City View, Building#2: The second phase of the City View project,which includes a new building with
117 residential units, was completed in mid-2023 and units are available to lease. The total project
investment is estimated at$32,000,000.
• Lansing Shuffleboard and Social Club: The Lansing Shuffle project includes a full renovation of the
former Lansing City Market building and upgrades to the patio. Lansing Shuffle opened in January 2023
and offers a variety of food and drink options from local food entrepreneurs as well as community event
space. Full-sized shuffleboard courts and an additional two restaurants are expected to open in early
2024. Voted as Best New Business of 2023 in the local"Top of the Town"awards,this project serves as
a hub for delicious food and unique entertainment and continues the momentum of riverfront activation,
adding to the flourishing lifestyle amenities in downtown Lansing. The total project investment is
estimated at over$3,000,000.
• Grewal Hall/Hall 224:The transformation of 224 S.Washington Sq.into a live music and event venue is
nearing completion. The estimated$1.4 million development opened in 2023 and has a capacity of about
600 for general admission and 250 people for tabled events.
• Grand River Pedway Improvements: The complete refurbishment of the city owned pedway that
provides pedestrian access across the Grand River reopened to the public in 2023. The Lansing
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority was able to leverage private development investment from its
Brownfield Revolving Fund to help finance this important public improvement. The update pedway will
promote stronger connections across downtown and improve access to several assets such as the river
trail,the Lansing Center,and numerous local businesses.
• Holmes Street School Redevelopment: Lofts in the recently converted former Holmes Street School
became available to new tenants in 2023. The project includes 47 new residential units that incorporate
many of the original details of the building in the redevelopment such as high ceilings,large windows,
and original terrazzo as well as using reclaimed wood floors.
5
• Moneyball Sportswear:The new Moneyball Sportswear Headquarters opened in spring 2023. Moneyball
Sportswear is well known local business and premier retailer for athletic wear. When Moneyball owner
and founder Desmond Ferguson looked for a new headquarters and main retail store location for his
expanding business,he wanted to invest back in the community and the 927 W.Saginaw St.property was
the perfect opportunity. The complete renovation and reactivation of this dilapidated and long vacant
commercial building in a key commercial focus area along West Saginaw further catalyzes investment in
the area by building on recent improvements and new businesses in the 900 block,several of which were
supported in part by the City of Lansing Facade Improvement Program. Furthermore, this project is
located in a Neighborhood of Focus within the Saginaw Street Corridor Improvement Authority
Development Area (SSCIA) and aligns with the Authority's mission to enhance the corridor by attracting
investment in commercial properties and reinvigorating commercial/retail activities.
Future development projects currently underway include:
• $175 million Lansing public safety bond will pay for newly constructed public safety and courts campus.
This new facility will house the headquarters of the Lansing Fire Department, the Lansing Police
Department, a new fire station, temporary detention facility, and the 54-A District Court. The new,
central location for public safety services will be on S. Washington Ave, next to the City's South
Washington Office Complex.
• The Ovation Music and Arts Center, which will be located downtown next to the former Lake Trust
location will be a new,state of the art live performance venue.
The City of Lansing brought our economic development team back in-house, re-establishing the Lansing
Economic Development Corporation. With six full-time staff, the Lansing EDC accomplishes this by attracting
and growing businesses, redeveloping properties, and using public/private partnerships. We continue our
regional partnership with the Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP).
For the year 2023, the City and our EDC was able to get 3 projects from the Prospect to the Approved stage.
These projects represent nearly $30 million in new investment in Lansing and are now ready to start
construction or are already underway.

Commercial Corridor Improvement
The City and Lansing EDC has also targeted four commercial corridors throughout the city to focus special
redevelopment efforts. These Corridor Improvement Authorities are the Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement
Authority (MACIA), Saginaw Street Corridor Improvement Authority (SSCIA), South Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Corridor Improvement Authority(SMLKCIA)and the Lansing Gateway Corridor Improvement Authority.
The S.Martin Luther King Corridor Improvement Authority(SMLKCIA)with the assistance of Lansing EDC staff
has been in contact with vendors,supporting businesses and local organizations to begin implementing a traffic
safety programs as well as transit improvements. These measures strive to cut down on the number of deaths
on the corridor as well as encourage more pedestrian activity. In conjunction with CATA and with the assistance
of the Thriving Communities Grant the corridor is looking at improving or establishing 4 bus shelters with
murals along Martin Luther King. The corridor is also working with local business owners on applying for the
facade improvement grant to improve the front facing look of businesses on MLK. The MLK CIA has also been
very influential in assisting with the redevelopment plan for the Logan Square shopping center. Finally, The
SMLKCIA is working with the city to demolish abandoned buildings along the corridor.
6
The Saginaw Street Corridor Improvement Authority (SSCIA) has been working on a marketing and
communications outreach program. So far this year they have attracted the interest of numerous businesses
along the corridor. These local businesses have been attending the monthly meetings and have shown interest
in joining the board. The SSCIA has also established a communications and marketing subcommittee made-up
of individuals from the community as well as the board and they have also established a beautification project
which started in the fall of 2023 and will be completed early spring of 2024. This beautification project will
enhance and beautify the entrance to the West side neighborhood as well as West Saginaw corridor at a place
marking landmark called the point.
The Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority(MACIA)this past year has worked on measures to assist
local businesses on the corridor as a transition through a lengthy street redesign. MACIA has developed its own
website full of exciting content,up-to-date news,and information from the corridor,as well as discount coupons
and hidden gems. The MACIA has also assisted with the Red Cedar's development project in the form of providing
promotional products for the Red Cedar Social District. Finally, the corridor has a renewed focus on branding
Michigan Ave.as"The Avenue",making the Michigan Ave.corridor safe and welcoming for pedestrians and visitors.
The North Grand River Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority known as the Lansing Gateway CIA has begun
the initial steps on the creation of their Development and Tax Increment Finance Plan, including community
engagement and prioritization of efforts.
Lansing Equitable Economic Development(LEED) Initiative
In 2021, the Jobs and Economic Development Workgroup of Lansing Mayor Andy Schor's Racial Justice and
Equity Alliance (MRJEA) identified the critical need to ensure Lansing's BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of
Color)populations have the tools,opportunities,and access to expertise,resources,and training needed to start
and sustain successful businesses,and to participate in the economic development process.
To address these findings, the Lansing EDC developed the Lansing Equitable Economic Development (LEED)
Initiative. In 2022, the Lansing City Council approved the allocation of$2 million of ARPA funds to the LEED
Initiative. The LEED Initiative was designed to equip BIPOC entrepreneurs with financial resources and
technical assistance to build strong successful businesses and increase the number of BIPOC-led real estate
development projects.
In 2023,the Lansing EDC launched the inaugural cohort of the Empower Program. The Empower Program is a
6-month program that provides a cohort of 10 business owners with a team of dedicated project managers,
consultants, and business specialists to create and implement an individualized business development plan.
Business owners also participate in bi-weekly in-person training sessions around business strategy,marketing,
establishing systems and automation to scale their operations, and other topics. Participants have received
photography services to develop marketing and promotional materials,human resource consulting to develop
staffing strategies and systems,financial management consulting,and a host of other technical assistance free of
charge.
The Lansing EDC provided over 40 grants in the amount of$2,500 to the graduates of the LEAP One & All
Program that are operating in the city of Lansing. This much needed funding is helping to sustain and expand
small businesses in the city of Lansing.
The Lansing EDC is in the process of developing additional programs to launch in early 2024 that will provide
funds for BIPOC-owned business sustainability and expansion as well as programs to provide training,
mentorship, and networking opportunities for emerging BIPOC real estate developers and spur investment in
focus areas in the city of Lansing.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lansing,Michigan
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinions
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 (the City),as of and for the year ended June 30,2023,and the
related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as
listed in the table of contents.
In our opinion,the 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, as of
June 30,2023,and the respective changes in financial position,and,when applicable,cash flows thereof for the
year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in GovernmentAuditing Standards,issued by
the Comptroller General of the United States. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described
in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required
to be independent of the City of Lansing and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the
relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 21 to the financial statements, in 2023 the City adopted new accounting guidance, GASB
Statement No. 96, Subscription-based IT Arrangements. Our opinions are not modified with respect to this
matter.
11
Responsibilities of Management of the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or
events, considered in the aggregate,that raise substantial doubt about the City of Lansing's ability to continue
as a going concern for twelve months beyond the financial statement date, including any currently known
information that may raise substantial doubt shortly thereafter.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement,whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinions.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing
Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are
considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that,individually or in the aggregate,they would influence
the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing
Standards,we:
➢ Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
➢ Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud
or error,and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include
examining,on a test basis,evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
➢ Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the City of Lansing's internal control. Accordingly,no such opinion is expressed.
➢ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates made by management,as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
➢ Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that
raise substantial doubt about the City of Lansing's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable
period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters
that we identified during the audit.
12
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis,budgetary comparison schedules,and the pension and OPEB schedules,as identified in
the table of contents,be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information,although not
a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, who
considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an
appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the
required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America,which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information
and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries, the basic
financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We
do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not
provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Supplementary Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying other supplementary information, as
identified in the table of contents,is presented for purpose of additional analysis and is not a require part of the
basic financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and
relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements.
The information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and certain additional procedures,including comparing and reconciling such information directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic
financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United State of America. In our opinion,other supplementary information,as identified
in the table contents, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements as a
whole.
Other Information
Management is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. The other information
comprises the introductory and statistical sections but does not include the basic financial statements and our
auditor's report thereon. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information,and
we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon.
In connection with our audit of the basic financial statements,our responsibility is to read the other information
and consider whether a material inconsistency exists between the other information and the basic financial
statements, or the other information otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work
perform, we conclude that an uncorrected material misstatement of the other information exists, we are
required to describe it in our report.
13
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards,we have also issued our report dated December 18, 2023,
on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with
certain provisions of laws,regulations,contracts,and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of that
report is 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 internal control over financial reporting or on
compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF LANSING
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, 2023 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.
Financial Highlights
Total net position $ (65,743,898)

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.
Government-Wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide
readers with a broad overview of the City's finances, in a manner similar to a private-sector business. The
Statement of Net Position 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 Position presents all of the City's assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and
deferred inflows of resources with the difference between these categories reported as"net position". Over time,
increases and decreases in net position are an indicator of whether the City's long-term financial position is
improving or deteriorating,but can also change as a result of governmental accounting standards.
The Statement of Activities presents information showing how the City's net position changed during the most
recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying 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).
16
CITY OF LANSING
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Statement of Net Position 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 other general 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 various discretely
presented units: the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, the Tax Increment Finance Authority,
Saginaw Street Corridor Improvement Authority, Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority,
and the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority.
These financial statements include two schedules 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 inflows of resources 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.
➢ Bond discounts and premiums in connection with the issuance of long-term obligations are reported as
other financing sources/uses 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,
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.
17
CITY OF LANSING
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
➢ 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.
➢ Pension and other postemployment benefits liabilities and related deferrals relating to governmental
funds are only reported in the government-wide statements.
The Notes to the Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of
the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Fund Financial Statements. The City's major funds are identified as the General Fund,State and Federal Grants
Fund, CERA-MSHDA Grant Fund, Public Safety Capital Projects Fund, Sewage Disposal System Fund, and
Municipal Parking System Fund. Data for all other funds,termed"nonmajor funds",are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. 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 projects, 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 Municipal 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 and other
postemployment benefit plans and for the 54-A District Court. 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 Position and Changes in Fiduciary Net Position.
These funds,which include pension and other postemployment benefit funds, 54-A District Court, and
Current Tax Collections Fund 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.
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 and individual fund 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.

The largest component of the City's net position reflects its net investment in capital assets (e.g.,land,buildings,
equipment,infrastructure,and others). Restricted net position is the next largest component,which represents
amounts subject to external restrictions such as bond covenants, State legislation or Constitutional provision.
The remaining portion, unrestricted net position are resources that may be used at the City's discretion, but
often have limitations based on policy action. The large increase in unrestricted net position of governmental
activities was primarily due to the recognition of ARPA funds and lost revenue.

General government comprises the second largest component of governmental activity expenses,at 12.1%,
or$20,719,165,an 5.6% ($1,090,649) increase from FY 2022,due to normal increases in expenses.
Community and economic development represented 10.6%,or$18,257,000,of total governmental activities
expenses. This category decreased$57,361,976,or 76%from FY 2022 due to a decrease in grant programs

Business-type Activities. Net position of the business-type activities increased by$14,219,870 from FY 2022
to$270,303,356. This increase was largely attributable to ARPA funding and charges for service increases.

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 structures,golf courses,and other related 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.

Economic Condition and Outlook
The City has received substantial support from the federal stimulus American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and is
reviewing potential support on infrastructure. These have empowered ARPA funds have allowed the City to
maintain government services, increase community support-without sacrificing financial health. Many of the
employers in the City continue to have staff work remotely or remote hybrid, resulting in reduced business
activity downtown impacting income tax and parking revenues.
Strengthening the City's economic base,maintaining General Fund reserves,and addressing long-term pension
and retiree healthcare obligations are top priorities. The City continues to work diligently with its employees
and unions to address the ongoing structural imbalance between projected revenues and long-term pension and
retiree health care costs. The City's financial picture will continuously be evaluated to address any budget
constraints for future fiscal years.
The City continues to experience significant economic development and national recognition of its economic
development efforts and accomplishments. For more information,please see the"Local Economy"section of the

of these assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation/amortization
expense.This is the amount by which capital outlays exceeded depreciation/amortization expense in the
current period.

CITY OF LANSING
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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:
Reporting Entity
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.
Blended Component Unit
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:
The City of Lansing Building 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 enterprise fund.
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 discretely presented component units are as follows:
The Lansing Brownfield RedevelopmentAuthority("LBRA")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 LBRA 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
Discretely Presented Component Units (continuedl
Tax increment financing permits the LBRA 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 LBRA include collections of property tax revenues on project areas for the Rite Aid Pharmacy and
the former Motor Wheel Site Plant.
The Tax Increment Finance Authority("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.
The Saginaw Street Corridor Improvement Authority ("SSCIA") was created in 2009 with the goals to
correct and prevent deterioration in the business district,redevelop the city's commercial corridors and
promote economic growth. The Authority followed several key principles that were used in the creation
of the plan and are supported by the city's master plan to transform the visually unappealing character
of the corridor,to encourage pedestrians and to market the quality of the adjacent neighborhoods. In
2019, the development and tax increment financing plans were approved and allow the Authority to
begin its first steps in executing the vision set forth by the corridor's residents, businesses, and other
stakeholders. The Authority's governing body is appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of
the City Council. The Authority relies on tax increment revenues as available, along with grants and
other revenues. If there are bond issuances to fund the above activities,they are approved by the City
Council and the legal liability for the debt remains with the City.
The Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority("MACIA") was created in 2009 with the goals to
correct and prevent deterioration in the business district,redevelop the city's commercial corridors and
promote economic growth. The Development and Tax Increment Financing plans arrange projects into
three categories: public infrastructure, current and prevent deterioration, and promote neighborhood
aligned economic growth. In 2019, the development and tax increment finance plans were approved
and allow the Authority to begin its first steps in executing the vision set forth by the corridor's residents,
businesses,and other stakeholders. The Authority's governing body is appointed by the Mayor with the
advice and consent of the City Council. The Authority relies on tax increment revenues as available,
along with grants and other revenues. If there are bond issuances to fund the above activities,they are
approved by the City Council and the legal liability for the debt remains with the City.
The Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority ("LEPFA") was established under the charter
of the City of Lansing, Michigan 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,Center Park Productions,
Grosbeck Golf Course,and the Jackson Field.

Discretely Presented Component Units (concluded)
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.
Component Unit Financial Statements
Complete financial statements for the following individual component units may be obtained from each
entity's administrative offices. Because separately issued financial statements are readily available for these
component units, detailed notes applicable to each Component Unit are not duplicated here in accordance

For the SSCIA and the MACIA,these discretely presented component units financial statements are included

Fiduciary Component Unit
The Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits Trust Funds were established to account for the assets set
aside to fund the City's pension and OPEB plans. The primary purpose of the Trusts are to provide the
necessary funding for pension payments and retiree healthcare coverage provided to eligible City employees
during retirement. The Trusts were established with a Board of Trustees made from individuals from the
City, Council, retirement plans, and the public for each of the Employees' Retirement System and Police
Officers'and Fire Fighters' Retirement System. The assets of the Trusts are for the exclusive benefit of the
participants and their beneficiaries, and the assets shall not be diverted to any other activity prior to the
satisfaction of all liabilities. The assets are protected from any of the City's creditors. The respective Boards
of Trustees have the ability to exercise responsibility,specifically in the area of designation of management.

NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Joint Venture
In 1998,the City entered into an agreement with Ingham County(the"County")to form the City of Lansing
and County of Ingham Joint Building Authority(JBA)for the purpose of constructing and managing a building
in downtown Lansing that houses the courts,prosecuting attorney,and other related departments. The JBA
is governed by a three-member board composed of one member each appointed by the City and the County
and one appointed jointly by the two units. Both the County and the City contribute cash and/or property
to the JBA. Bonds were issued in 1999 by the JBA to provide the funding necessary to construct the building.
Because the joint venture agreement does not provide an explicit contractual formula outlining the City's
claim to the JBA's assets,it is considered to be a"joint venture with no equity interest"and accordingly,no
amounts are reported in the accompanying financial statements for an equity interest. Financial information
for the JBA may be obtained by writing the Ingham County Financial Services Division,P.O.Box 319,Mason,
Michigan 48854.
Government-wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements(i.e.,the statement of net position and the statement of activities)
report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government and its component units.
Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are
reported separately from business-type activities,which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for
support. Likewise,the primary government is reported separately from certain component units for which
the primary government is financially accountable.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Program revenues include (1) charges to customers or applicants who
purchase,use,or directly benefit from goods,services,or privileges provided by a given function or segment
and (2)grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are
reported instead as general revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds,proprietary funds,and fiduciary funds,
even though the latter are excluded from the government-wide financial statements. Major individual
governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the fund
financial statements.
Measurement Focus.Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus
and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and fiduciary fund financial statements.
Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of
the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are
levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed
by the provider have been met.
54
CITY OF LANSING
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation (continued)
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.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough
thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. 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. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is
incurred,as under accrual accounting. However,debt service expenditures,as well as expenditures related
to compensated absences and claims and judgments,are recorded only when payment is due.
Property taxes,intergovernmental revenue,licenses,and interest associated with the current fiscal period
are all considered to be susceptible to accrual and as such have been recognized as revenues of the current
fiscal period. Only the portion of special assessments receivable due within the current fiscal period is
considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are
considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City.
The City reports the following major govern mental funds:
General Fund. This fund is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all the financial resources
of the primary government,except those accounted for and reported in another fund.
State and Federal Grant Fund. This Special Revenue fund accounts for all revenues from intergovernmental
grants and various contributions. These revenues are used for projects as detailed in individual grant
applications.
CERA-MSHDA Grant Fund. This fund accounts for all revenues received from the CERA grant through the
Michigan State Housing Development Authority. These revenues are used for projects as detailed in
individual grant applications.
Public Safety Capital Projects Fund. This fund accounts for capital project and debt service activity for the
Public Safety.
The City reports the following major enterprise funds:
Sewage Disposal System Fund. This fund accounts for the activities of the 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 are used to 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
that comprise or are expected to comprise a substantial portion of the fund's total reported inflows.
Debt Service Funds are used to account for and report financial resources that are restricted,committed,
or assigned to expenditure for principal,interest,and related costs.
55
CITY OF LANSING
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES(continued)
Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting,and Financial Statement Presentation(concluded)
Capital Projects Funds are used to 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 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.
Enterprise 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 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,health care and
self-insurance services,engineering,311 program,and information technology.
Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit Trust 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 postemployment benefit distributions.
The Custodial Funds accounts for resources held in a fiduciary capacity for the 54-A District Court,and
property taxes collected and distributed to other governments.
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. Also, current internal balances between governmental activities and
fiduciary activities have not been eliminated.
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.
Restricted net position are amounts that are subject to restrictions beyond the government's control. The
restrictions may be externally imposed or imposed by law. When both restricted and unrestricted resources
are available for use, it is the government's policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted
resources as they are needed.

Assets,Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows of Resources,and Equity
Deposits and Investments
Restricted cash consists of amounts required to be maintained separately in accordance with bond
covenants or other restrictions limiting usage of amounts in certain accounts.
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 position/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.
State statutes authorize the City to invest in:
Bonds, securities, other obligations and repurchase agreements of the United States, or an agency or
instrumentality of the United States.
Certificates of deposit,savings accounts,deposit accounts or depository receipts of a qualified financial
institution.
Commercial paper rated at the time of purchase within the two highest classifications established by not
less than two standard rating services and that matures not more than 270 days after the date of purchase.
Bankers'acceptances of United States banks.
Obligations of the State of Michigan and its political subdivisions,that,at the time of purchase are rated
as investment grade by at least one standard rating service.
Mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 with the authority to purchase only
investment vehicles that are legal for direct investment by a public corporation.
External investment pools as authorized by Public Act 20 as amended through December 31, 1997.
Investments are stated at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost,which 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/Payables
All receivables are reported at their gross value and, where appropriate, are reduced by the estimated
portion that is expected to be uncollectible.
Amounts due from other governments include amounts due from grantors for specific programs and capital
projects and for capture property tax revenues not received by applicable component units as of year-end.
Program grants and capital grants for capital assets are recorded as receivables and revenues at the time
reimbursable project costs are incurred. Amounts received in advance of project costs being incurred are
reported as unearned revenue.

Assets,Deferred Outflows of Resources, Liabilities,Deferred Inflows of Resources.and Equity(continued)
Receivables/Payables(concluded)
Transactions between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as either due to/from other funds (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 activities and business-type activities are reported in the government-wide financial
statements as internal balances.
Certain receivables in governmental funds consist of rehabilitation and redevelopment loans that are
generally not expected or scheduled to be collected in the subsequent year.
Contract receivable consist of amounts collectible from local municipalities for which the City has
irrevocably pledged its full faith and credit as collateral for certain construction and improvement bonds. In
accordance with contractual agreements, these entities will provide all future amounts due for bond
principal and accrued interest payable. The receivable has been reported as current based on the amounts
to be collected next year to satisfy obligations.
Inventories and Prepaids
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. In governmental funds, prepaid
items are charged to expenditures using the consumption method.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, flowage rights, right to use, 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 are defined by the City as assets having a useful life in excess of three
years and whose costs exceed$5,000 ($100,000 for buildings). Capital assets are stated at historical cost or
estimated historical cost where actual cost information is not available. Donated capital assets are recorded
at their estimated acquisition cost as of the donation date.
In addition to land and construction in progress, the amount presented as capital assets not being
depreciated includes intangible assets consisting of land development rights acquired for the purpose of
farmland and ranch preservation. Land development rights are deemed to have an indefinite useful life,and
therefore are not being amortized. Right to use assets of the City are amortized using the straight-line
method over the shorter of the subscription period or the estimated useful lives.

Capital Assets(concluded)
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend
asset lives are not capitalized. Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects
are constructed. The other capital assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:
Years
Buildings 20-50
Improvements 8-50
Equipment 3-15
Sanitary sewers 50
Flowage rights 30
Right to use-SBITA 7
Infrastructure 10-75
The City reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its fair value. If it is determined that an impairment loss has
occurred,the asset is written down to its net realizable value and a current charge to income is recognized.
Deferred Outflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources,
represents a consumption of net assets that applies to a future period(s)and so will not be recognized as an
outflow of resources(expense/expenditure)until then. The City reports a deferred charge on advance bond
refunding for the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount
is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. The City also reports
deferred outflows of resources for changes in expected and actual investments returns, assumptions, and
benefits provided,related to the net pension and other postemployment benefit liabilities.
Compensated Absences
The City permits 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% 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.
Unearned Revenue
Unearned revenue consists of amounts received prior to the delivery of goods/service or expenditure on
allowable costs.

Long-term Obligations
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 statement of net position. Bond premiums and
discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight-line basis. Bonds payable
are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as expenses
when incurred.
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.
Deferred Inflows of Resources
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for
deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources,
represents an acquisition of net assets that applies to one or more future periods and so will not be
recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The governmental funds report unavailable
revenues, which arise only under a modified accrual basis of accounting that are reported as deferred
inflows of resources. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period
that the amounts become available. The City also reports deferred inflows of resources for changes in
expected and actual investments returns,assumptions,and benefits provided,related to the net pension and
other postemployment benefit liabilities when applicable.
Fund Balances
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 Council has not delegated the authority to assign fund
balance. Unassigned fund balance is the residual classification for the General Fund. In other funds, the
unassigned classification is used to report a deficit balance resulting from overspending for specific
purposes for which amounts had been restricted,committed,or assigned,when applicable.
When the City incurs an expenditure for purposes for which various fund balance classifications can be used,
it is the City's policy to use restricted fund balance first,then committed,assigned,and finally unassigned.

Stabilization Arrangement
On May 23, 1994,the Council adopted a resolution to establish and maintain a revenue stabilization reserve
in the general fund.
For any year in which actual general fund revenues exceed actual general fund expenditures (including
encumbrances and reappropriation into the succeeding fiscal year) according to the annual City audit and
reappropriations by Council, Council shall appropriate at least 25% of such excess of revenues over
expenditures to the fund until the fund balance reaches a sum equal to 10% of the net current fiscal year
general fund appropriations. Council, upon recommendation of the Mayor, may make additional
appropriations to the fund from one time or intermittent revenue sources or as provided by policy, except
that such appropriations shall not cause the fund balance to exceed a sum equal to 10%of net current fiscal
year general fund appropriations. Appropriations to the fund shall require approval by vote of two-thirds
of the members elected and serving on Council.
Money in the fund may be appropriated by an ordinance or resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of the
members elected and serving on Council for the following purposes:
a. To cover a general fund deficit,should the Cit/s annual audit reveal such a deficit;
b. To prevent a reduction in the level of public services or in the number of employees at any time in
the fiscal year when the City's budgeted revenue is not being collected in an amount sufficient to
cover budgeted expenses;
c. To prevent a reduction in the level of public services or in the number of employees when, in
preparing the budget for the next fiscal year,the City's estimated revenue does not appear sufficient
to cover estimated expenses;and
d. To cover expenses arising because of a natural disaster, including flood, fire or tornado, with the
proviso that if Federal or State funds are received to offset the appropriations from the fund, that
such money shall be returned to the fund.
Subscription-based ITArrangements(SBITA)
Subscriber: The City is a lessee for a noncancelable subscription of an IT arrangement. The City recognizes
a SBITA liability and an intangible right-to-use SBITA asset in the government-wide financial statements.
At the commencement of a subscription,the City initially measures the SBITA liability at the present value of
payments expected to be made during the SBITA term. Subsequently, the SBITA liability is reduced by the
principal portion of SBITA payments made. The SBITA asset is initially measured as the initial amount of the
SBITA liability,adjusted for SBITA payments made at or before the SBITA commencement date,plus certain
initial direct costs. Subsequently,the SBITA asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its useful life.

Subscription-based ITArrangements(SBITA) (concluded)
Key estimates and judgements related to SBITA's included how the City determines (1) the discount rate it
uses to discount the expected SBITA payments to present value, (2) SBITA term,and (3) SBITA payments.
➢ The City uses the interest rate charged by the lessor as the discount rate. When the interest rate
charged by the lessor is not provided,the City generally uses its estimated incremental borrowing
rate as the discount rate for SBITA.
➢ The SBITA term includes the noncancelable period of the subscription. SBITA payments included in
the measurement of the SBITA liability are composed of fixed payments and purchase option price
that the City is reasonably certain to exercise.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of its SBITA and will
remeasure the SBITA asset and liability if certain changes occur that are expected to significantly affect the
amount of the SBITA liability. SBITA assets are reported with other capital assets and SBITA liabilities are
reported with long-term obligations on the statement of net position.
Leases
Lessor: The City is a lessor for a noncancelable lease of a building. The City recognizes a lease receivable
and a deferred inflow of resources in the government-wide and governmental fund financial statements.
At the commencement of a lease, the City initially measures the lease receivable at the present value of
payments expected to be received during the lease term. Subsequently, the lease receivable is reduced by
the principal portion of lease payments received. The deferred inflow of resources is initially measured as
the initial amount of the lease receivable, adjusted for lease payment received at or before the lease
commencement date. Subsequently,the deferred inflow of resources is recognized as revenue over the life
of the lease term.
Key estimates and judgements include how the City determines (1) the discount rate is uses to discount the
expected lease receipts to present value, (2) lease term,and (3) lease receipts.
➢ The City uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for leases.
➢ The lease term includes the noncancelable period of the lease. Lease receipts included in the
measurement of the lease receivable is composed of fixed payments from the lessee.
The City monitors changes in circumstances that would require a remeasurement of this lease and will
remeasure the lease receivable and deferred inflows of resources if certain changes occur that are expected
to significantly affect the amount of the lease receivable.

Interfund Transactions
During the course of normal operations, the City has numerous transactions between funds, including
expenditures and transfers of resources to provide services, construct assets, and service debt. The
accompanying financial statements generally reflect such transactions as transfers. Operating subsidies are
also recorded as transfers. The amounts recorded as subsidies or advances are determined by the City.
Balances outstanding at year-end are reported as due to/from other funds. Transfers between
governmental or proprietary funds are netted as part of the reconciliation to the government-wide financial
statements. Internal service funds are used to record charges for services to all City departments and funds
as transfers or operating revenue. All City funds record these payments to the internal service funds as
transfers or operating expenditures/expenses.
Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit Plans
For purposes of measuring the net pension and other postemployment benefit liabilities,deferred outflows
of resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions and other postemployment benefits,and
pension and other postemployment benefit expense, information about the fiduciary net position of the
plans and additions to/deductions from the plan fiduciary net position have been determined on the same
basis as they are reported by the plans. For this purpose,benefit payments (including refunds of employee
contributions)are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms. Investments are
reported at fair value.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly,actual results could differ from those estimates.
The City utilizes various investment instruments which are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
credit,and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities,it
is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near-term and
that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

NOTE 2-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.
➢ Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments.
➢ Not later than the third Monday in May,the Council adopts a budget through passage of a resolution.
➢ 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. Within the General Fund, the legal
level of budgetary control is the mandatory expenditure accounts (personal services, supplies and
operating expenses, capital outlay, debt service, transfers, and contingency) within each department.
Within other funds,the legal level of budgetary control is the mandatory expenditure accounts(personal
services, supplies and operating expenses, capital outlay, debt service, transfers, and contingency)
within that fund. Transfers between appropriations (mandatory accounts) require City Council
approval. An exception to City Council approval is allowed by City Charter for transfers between
appropriations (mandatory accounts) for amounts less than five thousand dollars,but not in excess of
15%of the appropriation in cases where five thousand dollars exceeds 15%of the appropriation.
Copies of the City's separately issued budget report may be obtained from the Finance Department, 124 West
Michigan Avenue,Lansing,Michigan 48933 or on the City's website at www.lansingmi.gov.
➢ 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").
➢ Appropriations lapse at year-end for all annual budgets. Appropriations are automatically carried
forward for project-type budgets.
NOTE 3 -DEFICIT FUND EQUITY
The Cemetery,Garbage and Rubbish Collection,and Recycling Enterprise Funds reported deficits in unrestricted
net position of$1,165,744, $1,098,132, and$5,394,947,respectively,primarily as a result of the recognition of
net pension and net other postemployment benefit liabilities in these funds.
The Tax Increment Finance Authority and the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority component units reported
deficits in unrestricted net position of$31,995,624 and$35,301,098,respectively at June 30,2023. The deficits
are a result of full-accrual accounting for long-term obligations, without reflecting a corresponding receivable

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,
$304,723,192 of the City's bank balance of$307,517,892 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was
uninsured and uncollateralized. The book balance of all deposits (other than pension & OPEB related) was
$288,672,734.
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
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. Disclosure related to the TIFA pooled investment are described in their separately issued,
readily available financial statements so they are not presented here in accordance with GASB 61.
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:

AA 2,510,779
Not rated 28,846,762
Assets not subject to credit risk 21,878
$ 48,236,760
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. For investments held at year end maturities are as follows:
Due within 1 year $ 48,215,641
No maturity 21,119
$ 48,236,760
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of the City's investment in a single
issuer. State law limits allowable investments but does not limit concentration of credit risk 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 concentration of credit risk. All investments held at year-
end are reported above.

Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of
the asset, as determined by the City's investment advisors. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets; level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs.
Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current
exchange rates. Debt securities are valued by the City's investment custodian using independent pricing services
based on the type of asset. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing,which consider: (a)
benchmark yields, (b) reported trades, (c) broker/dealer quotes, (d) benchmark securities, (e) bids or offers,
and (f) reference data. The City's level 2 investments as noted in the table below are valued using significant
other observable inputs of the underlying securities.

Investments in Entities that Calculate Net Asset Value per Share
The City holds shares in Michigan CLASS whereby the fair value of the investment is measured on a recurring
basis using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investment pool as a practical expedient. It has a
rating of AAAm from Standard and Poor's with a weighted average maturity of 45 days.
At year end, the net asset value of the City's investment in Michigan CLASS was $16,857,341. The investment
pool had no unfunded commitments,specific redemption frequency or redemption notice period required. The
Michigan CLASS investment pool invests in U.S. treasury obligations, federal agency obligations of the U.S.
government, high-grade commercial paper (rated 'A-1' or better) collateralized bank deposits, repurchase
agreements (collateralized at 102% by Treasuries and agencies), and approved money-market funds. The
program seeks to provide safety,liquidity,convenience,and competitive rates of return,and is designed to meet
the needs of Michigan public sector investors. It purchases securities that are legally permissible under state
statutes and are available for investment by Michigan counties, cities,townships, school districts, authorities,
and other public agencies.

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-party
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. Short-term investments in money market funds and
open-end mutual funds are not exposed to custodial credit risk because their existence is not evidenced by
securities that exist in physical or book form.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of the City's investment in a single
issuer. State law limits allowable investments but does not limit concentration of credit risk 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 concentration of credit risk. All investments held at year-
end are reported above.
The City's pension and other postemployment benefits investment policies require diversification of fixed
income securities; however,they do not specify percentages of dollar amounts by industry or issuer.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair market value of an
investment. The City's pension investment policies provide that the average duration of fixed income securities
shall not deviate from the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index duration by+/-20%. As of June 30,2023,maturities
of the City's pension and other postemployment benefits trust debt securities, money market funds, and
collateralized mortgage obligations were as follows:
Employee Retirement System

Securities Lending
Under contracts approved by the City,the pension and other postemployment benefits 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 other postemployment benefits funds' custodial banks manage
the securities lending programs and receive cash as collateral. Collateral cash is initially pledged at 100%of the
fair value of the securities lent and may not fall below 95%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 collateral held by the custodians exceeds the market value of the related
securities lent. At June 30, 2023,the fair value of securities on loan by the Employees' Retirement System and
the Police and Fire Retirement System were $10,284,926 and $16,874,932, respectively, for which the Plans'
received cash collateral of$10,468,911 and$17,151,028,respectively. The contract with the pension and other
postemployment benefits 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.
Fair Value Measurement
The City categorizes its fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy established by generally
accepted accounting principles. The hierarchy is based on the valuation inputs used to measure the fair value of
the asset,as determined by the City's investment advisors. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets; level 2 inputs are significant other observable inputs; level 3 inputs are significant
unobservable inputs.
Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at current
exchange rates. Debt securities are valued by the Plans' investment custodian using independent pricing
services based on the type of asset. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which
consider: (a)benchmark yields,(b)reported trades,(c)broker/dealer quotes,(d)benchmark securities,(e)bids
or offers, and (f) reference data. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities funds are valued based on the
future cash flows of the principal and interest payments of the underlying collateral of mortgages on various
assets. The Plans'level 2 investments as noted in the tables below are valued using significant other observable
inputs of the underlying securities.

The City is self-funded for Blue Cross Blue Shield healthcare coverage for employees and retirees. The City
maintains stop/loss coverage that limits its per-case exposure to$250,000. The City estimates healthcare claims
that are incurred but not reported as of year-end,which is accounted for in the City's Fringe Benefits Internal
Service Fund. Changes in the estimated liability were as follows:
Fiscal Year Ended June 30,
2023 2022

Estimated liability,end of year $ 1,380,000 $ 1,500,000
The City is self-insured for workers' compensation costs. The City estimates the liability for workers'
compensation claims that have been incurred through the end of the fiscal year,including those claims that have
been reported as well as those that have not yet been reported to the City. When appliable,the current portion
of this liability is accounted for in the General Fund with long-term liabilities accounted for in the Statement of
Net Position. The City has liability insurance coverage up to a maximum amount of$17,500,000 per occurrence
with a$100,000 deductible. Changes in the estimated long-term liability as well as the total estimated cost of
claims for the past two fiscal years were as follows:

NOTE 14-PROPERTY TAXES
Property taxes attach as an enforceable lien on property as of the date they are levied. City,community college,
and 50%of school taxes are levied and due July land become delinquent after August 31. County taxes and the
balance of school taxes are levied and due December 1 and become delinquent after February 14. In March,
taxes on real property still delinquent are purchased by the County's tax revolving funds. Collections of
community college, school, and county taxes and remittances are accounted for in the general fund. City
property tax revenues are recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied to the extent that they
result in current receivables (i.e.,are collected within 60 days after fiscal year-end). The 2022 taxable value for
all properties within the City is$2,541,061,751.
The City is permitted by charter and state law to levy taxes up to $20.00 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for
general operations other than the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt. The tax rate to finance
general governmental services other than the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt for the year
ended June 30, 2023 was$19.44 per$1,000 of taxable value.
NOTE 15 -CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The City and its component units participate in a number of Federal and State assisted programs that are subject
to compliance audits. The audit of the Federal programs and the periodic program compliance audits of many
of the State programs have not yet been conducted, completed, or resolved. Accordingly, the City's and its
component units' compliance with applicable grant requirements will be established at some future date. The
amount,if any,of expenditures which may be disallowed by the granting agencies cannot be determined at this
time although the City and its component units expect such amounts,if any,to be immaterial.
There are various other legal actions pending against the City and its component units. Due to the inconclusive
nature of many of the actions, it is not possible for the City's Counsel to determine the probable outcome or a
reasonable estimate of the potential liability, if any. These actions, for which a reasonable estimate can be
determined of the potential liability,if any,are considered by the City and/or component unit management and
legal counsel to not have a material effect on the financial condition of the City.
NOTE 16 -PENSION PLANS
EMPLOYEES'RETIREMENT SYSTEM

Council appointed by the City Council,the City Treasurer,the City Human Resources Director,three members of
the retirement system to be elected by the members of the system under rules adopted by the board, two
residents of the State of Michigan appointed by the Mayor, by and with the consent of the City Council, one of

EMPLOYEES'RETIREMENT SYSTEM (continued)
Plan Description (concluded)
All 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. 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
prior to retirement will receive their benefit as a life annuity beginning at age 58.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Plan member
contributions are recognized in the period which the contributions are due. The City's contributions are
recognized when due and a formal commitment to provide the contribution has been made. Benefits and
refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Administration of the
Plan is funded through the Plan's investment earnings.
Method Used to Value Investments
Plan investments are reported 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. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair values as determined by the custodian under the direction of the Plan Board of Trustees,with the assistance
of a valuation service.
Plan Membership
At December 31, 2022,plan membership consisted of the following:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries receiving benefits 926
Inactive employees entitled to but not yet receiving benefits 206
Vested and non-vested active participants 411
Total employees covered by the Plan 1,543
Benefits Provided
Employees who retire with minimum age and years of service requirements are entitled to annual retirement
benefits, payable in monthly installments for life, in an amount equal to a percentage of their final average
compensation times years of credited service. Final average compensation is defined as the average of the
highest annual compensation paid over two consecutive years of credited service within the last 10 years of
credited service immediately preceding a member's termination of employment.

Investment Policy
The Plan's policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be amended by the Board
of Trustees. The investment policy has been formulated based on consideration of a wide range of policies and
describes the prudent investment process that the Board deems appropriate. The Plan's asset allocation policy
is shown on the following pages.
Rate of Return
For the year ended June 30, 2023,the annual money-weighted rate of return on pension plan investments,net
of pension plan investment expense, was 2.29%. The money-weighted rate of return expresses investment
performance,net of investment expense,adjusted for the changing amounts actually invested.
Concentrations
At June 30, 2023,the Plan held certain investments (other than those issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S.
government,mutual funds,external investment pools,or other pooled investments) in certain organizations that
represent 5%or more of the Plan's fiduciary net position. Please see Note 4 for the details of these concentrations.
Reserves
In accordance with the Plan policy,the City establishes reserves for various purposes. The reserves are adjusted
annually based on recommendations from the City's actuaries. The policy for creating and adjusting reserves
was established and can be amended by the Plan Board of Trustees. The market value change from December
31, 2022 to June 30, 2023 has been included in the Pension accumulation fund amount as it has not been
allocated to the other funds as of year-end. A summary of the Plan reserves at June 30,2023 is as follows:
Reserve/Group Balance
Employee savings fund $ 12,141,302
Retirement reserve fund 119,644,824

Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability was determined by an actuarial valuation as of December 31,2022,rolled forward to
June 30,2023,using the following actuarial assumptions,applied to all periods included in the measurement:
Inflation: 2.50%
Salary increases: Inflation,plus service based increases.
Investment rate of return: 7.00%,net of investment expense,including inflation.
Mortality is based on the Pub2010S tables (below median), 50% for pre-retirement deaths. For Disabled
members, the disabled versions of these tables are used. Each of these tables is projected generationally
with Scale SSA(2020).
The actuarial assumptions used in the December 31, 2022 valuation were based on the 2015-2019 experience
study.
Assumption changes - there were no changes in actuarial assumptions during fiscal year 2023. More details
regarding actuarial assumptions can be found in the December 31,2022 valuation reports for each system.
Benefit changes-there were no changes to benefits in the current year.
The long-term expected rate of return on pension plan investments was determined using a building-block
method in which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns, net of pension plan
investment expense and inflation) are developed for each asset class. These ranges are combined to produce
the long-term expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset
allocation percentage and by adding expected inflation. This is then modified through a Monte-Carlo simulation
process,by which a (downward) risk adjustment is applied to the baseline expected return. Best estimates of
arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in the pension plan's target asset allocation as
of December 31,2022,and the final investment return assumption,are summarized in the following table:

Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.00%. The projection of cash flows used to
determine the discount rate assumed that plan member contributions will be made at the current contribution
rate and that City contributions will be made at rates equal to the difference between actuarially determined
contribution rates and the member rate. Based on those assumptions, each plan's fiduciary net position was
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payments of current plan members. Therefore,the
long-term expected rates of return on pension plan investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit
payments to determine the total pension liability.

POLICE AND FIRE RETIREMENT SYSTEM (continued)
Plan Description (concluded).
Members may retire at age 55,or at any age with 25 or more years of credited service. Members are vested after
completing 10 years of credited service. Members are required to retire at age 60 (Police) or 70 (Fire). 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.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting. Plan member
contributions are recognized in the period which the contributions are due. The City's contributions are
recognized when due and a formal commitment to provide the contribution has been made. Benefits and
refunds are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Administration of the
Plan is funded through the Plan's investment earnings.
Method Used to Value Investments
Plan investments are reported 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. Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair values as determined by the custodian under the direction of the Plan Board of Trustees,with the assistance
of a valuation service.
Plan Membership
At December 31, 2022,plan membership consisted of the following:
Inactive employees or beneficiaries receiving benefits 791

Investment Policy
The Plan's policy in regard to the allocation of invested assets is established and may be amended by the Board
of Trustees. The investment policy has been formulated based on consideration of a wide range of policies and
describes the prudent investment process that the Board deems appropriate. The Plan's asset allocation policy
as of June 30,2023 is summarized in the table on the following page.
The long-term expected rate of return on OPEB plan investments was determined using a building-block method
in which best-estimates of expected future real rates of return (expected returns,net of OPEB plan investment
expense and inflation) are developed for each asset class. These ranges are combined to produce the long-term
expected rate of return by weighting the expected future real rates of return by the target asset allocation
percentage and by adding expected inflation. This is then modified through a Monte-Carlo simulation process,
by which a(downward)risk adjustment is applied to the baseline expected return. Best estimates of arithmetic
real rates of return for each major asset class included in the OPEB plan's target asset allocation as of June 30,
2023 are summarized in the following table:
Long-Term Expected Money-Weighted

NOTE 18 -TAX ABATEMENTS
Because Lansing is an older city, vacant land, or "green space" for new buildings is scarce, the City offers tax
abatements to make redevelopment and rehabilitation of existing buildings economically viable for developers,
who must consider the cost of rehabilitating existing, often older, buildings which may involve environmental
remediation,against the generally lesser cost of building on vacant land outside the City. These tax abatements
are designed to level the"playing field"for urban communities to encourage redevelopment of vacant buildings,
and to attract and retain private investment and jobs within the City. The City of Lansing provides tax
abatements under several different programs:
➢ Industrial property tax abatements are granted in the State of Michigan under Public Act 198 to promote
economic development, creation of jobs, and new or improved facilities. The Industrial Facilities Tax
(IFT) Exemption must be approved by both the City (after a public hearing is held) and the State of
Michigan. IFT exemptions can cover real and/or personal property. By State law,the exemption must
be applied for no later than six months after commencement of the project and must be accompanied by
a written agreement between the taxpayer and the local unit. An exemption allows for taxation on IFT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 18-TAX ABATEMENTS(concluded)
➢ To incentivize new or expanded businesses,Public Act 328 allows for Personal Property Tax Exemptions
for qualified businesses located within eligible distressed communities. The exemption must be
approved by the City Council and the State Treasurer. Once approved, the taxpayer is exempt from
personal property tax on new investments after the date of the exemption. The City can recapture the
taxes if the business defaults on the terms of the written agreement. Property taxes abated by the City
under this program for fiscal year 2023 amounted to$3,572,195.
➢ The Brownfield Redevelopment Authority encourages environmental cleanup and economic
development through its Brownfield Redevelopment Plan under Public Act 318. A developer performs
redevelopment and cleanup activities at a site that is obsolete or blighted. The increased tax revenues
resulting from the increase in taxable value are captured by the City and used to repay the developer for
qualifying expenses. There is no provision for recovery of abated taxes because the developer is only
paid for eligible expenses on a reimbursement-basis. In addition,there are reserve liabilities reported
in the financial statements that represent tax captures set aside for future developer reimbursements.
Property taxes abated by the Authority under this program for fiscal year 2023 amounted to$2,402,422.
NOTE 19-ASSETS HELD BY FOUNDATION

did not make any contributions during fiscal year 2023. The expenditure related to the contribution is recorded
within a nonmajor capital project fund. The CRCF has explicit variance power and therefore these amounts are
not shown in the financial statements of the City. This variance power allows CRCF to modify any restrictions
or considerations on the distributions of the funds. Distributions will be made to the City annually as requested,
according to the spending guidelines. The City elected not to receive any distributions this year. At June 30,
2023,the fund has a value of$1,593,553.

reporting entity be reported by adjusting beginning balances of the current period,and(c)changes in accounting

for compensated absences be recognized for (1) leave that has not been used and (2) leave that has been used

not been used if(a)the leave is attributable to services already rendered, (b)the leave accumulates,and(c)the
leave is more likely than not to be used for time off or otherwise paid in cash or settled through noncash means.
This Statement also establishes guidance for measuring a liability for leave that has not been used, generally

NOTE TO REQUIRED SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
NOTE 1 -EXCESS OF EXPENDITURES OVER APPROPRIATIONS
State statutes provide that a local government unit not incur expenditures in excess of the amounts
appropriated. The City's budgeted expenditures for the General Fund have been shown at the activity level.
Within the General Fund,the legal level of budgetary control is the mandatory expenditure accounts (personal
services, supplies and operating expenses, capital outlay, debt service,transfers,and contingency) within each
department. Within other funds, the legal level of budgetary control is the mandatory expenditure accounts
(personal services, supplies and operating expenses, capital outlay, debt service, transfers, and contingency)
within that fund. Transfers between appropriations (mandatory accounts) required City Council approval. An
exception to City Council approval is allowed by City Charter for transfers between appropriations (mandatory
accounts) for amounts less than five thousand dollars, but not in excess of 15% of the appropriation in cases
where five thousand dollars exceeds 15%of the appropriation.
During the year ended June 30, 2023, the City incurred expenditures in the General Fund and certain Special
Revenue Funds as noted in excess of the amounts appropriated as follows:
