Office of the Mayor
March 18, 2024
President Jeremy Garza and Councilmembers
Lansing City Council
124 W. Michigan Ave
Lansing, MI 48933
Dear President Garza and City Council Colleagues:
I am pleased to present to you my Executive Budget Recommendation for Fiscal Year(FY)
2025, which begins this July 1 and runs through June 30, 2025.
My FY 2025 proposed spending plan for the city is $270.8 million, a 3.7% increase from the
adopted FY 2024 budget. The proposed General Fund budget for FY 2025 is $165.1 million, a
2.4% increase from the adopted FY 2024 budget.
Over the past few years, we have aggressively pursued grant funding making strategic
investments to save the City money in the long-term, while also controlling our expenditures
against inflation to get through these tough times while continuing to maintain the essential
services that we are proud to provide to our community. These efforts have culminated in
balancing our General Fund budget without the use of American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)
dollars or rainy-day funds.
The City is making steady progress in addressing our pension and retiree healthcare costs, i.e.,
"legacy costs". The City continues to assess costs, carriers, and other means to reduce pre-fund
other post-employment benefits (OPEB), for which we include the full actuarially required
payments necessary to prefund the system in our proposal. The City is seeing the results of this
effort materialize and will be able to fund the full cost of these benefits, including past liabilities,
with benefits now being able to be paid from the trusts themselves.
We also have the State to thank, which has recognized the hard work of the City of Lansing and
many other local communities in addressing these long-term costs by getting us to the next step:
contributing $11.5 million in addition to this past year's full pension payment to the Employees
Retirement System to get up to 60% funded(an investment that will save us $500,000 in annual
costs for the system), and we are well on track to going all the way to fully covering our
commitments on behalf of all employees past, present, and future who have done so much for the
City and the public.
Page 1
We also have the State to thank for$40 million in funding to move our City Hall to a new
customer centered campus maintaining our presence in the Downtown area while making long-
needed improvements to our facility design. Some of these transition costs are included in
departments budgets, and we are hard at work in anticipation of the move.
Governments are addressing not one, but many challenges at the same time and it is incredible to
see the State House of Representatives pass long-needed revenue sharing reforms to prioritize
public safety and violence reduction. Over the past few years, the City of Lansing has worked
hard in finding the necessary budget to hire new community policing and patrol officers, social
workers, and data-driven gun violence reduction programs to respond to the need we see in the
Community. Should public safety revenue sharing legislation passed by the House also be passed
by the Senate and be signed into law, the City of Lansing is projected to receive a$3.5 million
investment which will allow the City to build even further on this progress in hiring 15 new
officers, a crime analyst, and camera technician along with additional funding for non-police
violence reduction services to make Lansing even safer for its residents.
In consideration of the challenges and continued development occurring within the City of
Lansing, it is equally important that we make strategic investments in the services we provide to
continue growing the City's economy and to strengthen the quality of life for our current and
prospective residents, business owners, workers, and visitors.
The City of Lansing has many responsibilities and has the responsibility to address as much as
we can with the limited dollars that we receive. We have had many requests to navigate,
including more than $2 million in Council budget priorities and more than $3 million in new
budget asks from our Departments. We were not able to fund everything that we want,but we
continue to make important investments to address our strategic priorities.
As such, my FY 2025 Executive Budget Recommendation includes several key investments:
Public Safety
Over the past year we have continued to focus on hiring and training our first responders, and
this includes giving them the tools to help our citizens. We are adding funds for training,
replacing vehicles and equipment, and funding both physical and mental health services to keep
our first responders healthy and at their full potential across the board. Additional highlights
include:
• The 15 police officers, crime analyst, and camera technician mentioned above
• A cadet program in the Fire Department to train new firefighters and paramedics to
expand on our capacity to hire externally
• $300k in general fund to continue the Advance Peace program
• $260k for two new firefighters
• $150k for annual firefighter medical exams
• $80k for EMPCO promotion and testing services in the Police Department
Page 2
Government Operations
It is essential that we not only make it through each year, but that we are able to provide
excellent services to the customers we serve. Across the budget, we are seeking efficiencies and
investing in recruitment, training, and equipment to do our job better and maintain our services
into the future.
• Replacing the vacant Deputy Finance Director position with two accountants
• A dispute resolution and training staffer for HR
Development
The City continues to aggressively support development throughout the City of Lansing and has
been seeing the results of this work come to fruition in our property tax revenues. Our Lansing
Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority(LEPFA)has also restored its operating margins
coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic allowing more of our funds to go to City operations.
• A grant funded staff member for the Lansing Economic Development Corporation(EDC)
• A general fund fund staff member to address housing needs outside of the limited eligible
uses of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds.
Infrastructure and Equipment
We all want to "Fix the Damn Roads" and the City is well on its way. We have a lot of work
ahead of us and are continuing to maintain and improve the infrastructure of the City and its
departments. This includes:
• $50k for the Jackson Field Stadium
• An additional arborist to better maintain our rights-of-way and parks in the forestry
division
• Two solid waste operators to better operate our trash and recycling services
• $2.35 million for the Federal Surface Transportation Program
• A historic investment in major maintenance of our streets, including one-time funds to
invest a total of$9.7 million into capital improvements to our major streets
• Continued combined sanitary and stormwater sewer separations
• $700,000 for new sidewalks, sidewalk repairs, sidewalk gap closures, and trailways
• $750k for construction, maintenance, signage, and engineering costs within our Parking
System
• Maintaining two full time staff for sustainability, with a general fund operating budget
increasing to a total of$100,000 for sustainability efforts (not including staffing being
provided by Bloomberg Philanthropies as well as significant grant funding not part of the
annual budget adoption and enterprise fund investments).
Page 3
Vehicles/Equipment Purchases
Our fleet continues to catch up with vehicle replacements and is encumbering its reserves with
orders up to three years out as we build our way back from long-deferred investments in our fleet
services.
Council Priorities
All priorities of City Council were carefully considered. However, due to limited available
funding and in reviewing the cost effectiveness of individual proposals, we were not able to
include everything as part of this proposed budget. We will continue to search for funding
options though grant opportunities to achieve many more priorities.
• Committee of the Whole
o The budget proposes adding a staff member to address housing needs, funding for
sidewalks and roads, maintaining two full time staff for sustainability, and an
additional arborist. LPD already prints business cards with information on how to
file a complaint.
• Committee on Development and Planning
o The budget proposes a grant funded staff member for the EDC and $175,000 for
the Facade Improvement Grant Program.
• Committee on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
o The budget proposes $300k in general fund to continue the Advance Peace
program and the continuation of a DEI Specialist in the Human Relations and
Community Services department.
• Committee on Public Safety
o The budget proposes a cadet program in the Fire Department to train new
firefighters and paramedics. We have already purchased portable speed trailers
and speed monitoring signs.
• Committee on Ways and Means
o The city entered a contract to determine eligibility for an IRA22 Tax Credit for
the new Public Safety Building and is continually looking for opportunities from
the Inflation Reduction Act.
• Ad Hoc on Homelessness and Solutions 2023
o EDP is currently in the process of reviewing their fee schedules and a plan will be
brought forward once this is completed. The administration is also working on
plans for warming and cooling centers, as well as landlord incentive programs.
• City Council
o The proposed budget addresses the City's infrastructure,preserves clean, safe,
and well-maintained housing and neighborhoods, and explores alternatives for
improved efficiency in service and delivery.
• Board of Public Service
o The proposed budget includes two solid waste operators to better operate our trash
and recycling services, $2.35 million for the Federal Surface Transportation
Program, $9.7 million for our major streets, continued combined sanitary and
stormwater sewer separations, and continued fleet replacement.

Financial Health
It is important that as we pay our bills and provide the best services possible to our community,
we also monitor and protect our long-term financial health. We began our FY 2025 budget by
sending Council's budget priorities directly to Department heads and met in November to
discuss the strategic challenges we face and to set a plan in place to meet those objectives. This
budget is the culmination of those efforts, and I thank you for your consideration and
contribution to the City of Lansing's success.
I look forward to discussing the FY 2025 Executive Budget Recommendation and working with
you to finalize our spending priorities over the coming months.
Sincerely,
Andy Schor
Mayor

FUNDS STRUCTURE
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
The City's finances are organized into governmental, proprietary (enterprise and internal service), and
fiduciary funds which are fiscal and accounting entities 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.
Major funds are determined by whether any element (assets, liabilities, revenues, or expenditures)
equal or exceed 10% of the corresponding total for that element among all funds of the same type
and 5% of the corresponding total for that element among all governmental and enterprise funds as
determined by GASB 34 (including both operating and non-operating revenues, excluding transfer in
and out).
GOVERNMENTALFUNDS
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. 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 budgeted and reported using modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other
financial assets that can readily be converted to cash.
The City's major governmental fund is the General Fund, which is the general operating fund of the
City. It is used to account for and report all financial resources not accounted for and reported in
another fund. Nonmajor special revenue funds included within the budget proposal are as follows:
• Stadium
• Major Streets
• Local Streets
• Public Safety Revenue Sharing
• Building Department
• Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG, ESG, HOME)
• Disaster Contingency
• Drug Law Enforcement Federal
• Drug Law Enforcement State and Local
• Tri-County Metro
• Opioid Settlement
• Downtown Lansing, Inc.
• Other Capital Projects
• Parks Millage Capital Projects

FUNDS STRUCTURE
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
PROPRIETARY
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. Internal
service funds account for activities that provide supplies and services to other departments and funds
internal to the City (internal service fund expenditures are appropriated though their charges to other
funds).
The City's major proprietary funds are the Sewage Disposal System Fund, which accounts for the
activities of sewage disposal services to City residents; and the Municipal Parking System Fund,
which accounts for the operation of City-owned parking facilities. Nonmajor enterprise funds include
the following:
• Cemetery Fund
• Golf Fund
• Garbage and Rubbish Collection Fund
• Recycling Fund
COMPONENT UNITS
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the City of
Lansing are financially accountable. These include the following:
• Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (LBRA)
• Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA)
• Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority (LEPFA)
• Saginaw Street, Michigan Avenue, and South MLK Blvd Corridor Improvement Authorities
FIDUCIARY FUNDS
The City acts as a trustee or fiduciary for these funds, which use full accrual accounting and are not
appropriated by the City. These assets are restricted in purpose and do not represent spendable
assets of the City to finance its operations.

CITY OF LANSING, ►
Fiscal Year July 1, 2024 -June 30, 2025
COUNCIL AND O. PRIORITIES
Prior to October 1 of each year, City Council transmits its budget priorities to the administration.
Directors were then instructed by the Mayor to review these priorities and by the Chief Strategy
Officer to provide updated summary information of their departments including a comprehensive
inventory of their services.
The Mayor developed an outline of City priorities to promote growth and excellence across all
functions of local governance. The Mayor and Directors met in early November to discuss this mission
and its specific objectives to develop and align department's goals and strategies for the upcoming
fiscal year. This established the basis of the strategic priorities within each department, which was
used to evaluate later budget requests.
BUDGET INSTRUCTIONS
Instructions for submitting budgetary requests were distributed in two parts. Part I budget
instructions were distributed in late September, providing forms and guidance to update department
overviews and service inventories to be included in the departmental narratives presented in this
budget book. Officers were provided two weeks to update department overviews, and four weeks to
update service inventories.
Part 11 budget instructions were distributed in early November, providing an initial projection of
internal services and personnel expenditures based on existing positions along with the forms and
instructions necessary to complete the remainder of department budgetary requests. The City utilized
a zero-based budgeting approach with forms to provide line-item budget requests, to request
personnel changes and capital funding, and to provide detailed contractual and miscellanous
expenditure inventories. Officers were provided three weeks for personnel changes and capital
requests, and six weeks for the remaining items.
TECHNICAL REVIEW
Department budget requests are evaluated through January, February, and March against projected
revenue sources (utilizing or contributing to reserves pursuant to established fund balance policies).
This involved discussions between Finance, the Mayor's Office, and City departments who received a
preliminary draft of the budget proposal for any corrections. The budget is finalized and reviewed by
the Mayor for final changes and approval.

Fiscal Year July 1, 2024 -June 30, 2025
RECOMMENDED
In accordance with the State Uniform Budgeting and Accounting Act (P.A. 2 of 1968), as amended,
and the City Charter, the Mayor submits a proposed budget for each fiscal year to the City Council on
the fourth Monday of March.
After holding televised hearings and a public hearing, the City Council adopts a budget no later than
the third Monday in May. A copy of the budget resolution is presented in the "Budget Resolution and
Fee Changes" section of this budget document. Copies of the budget can be obtained on the City's
website, www.Lansingmi.gov, by contacting the Finance Department at 124 W. Michigan Ave.,
Lansing, MI, 48933, or by calling (517) 483-4500.
BUDGET AMENDMENTS
At any time during the fiscal year, the City Council (by affirmative vote of two-thirds of serving
Council members) may consider appropriations which modify the previously adopted annual
resolution to do any of the following:
• Transfer an unencumbered balance in whole or in part from any account;
• Provide for the expenditures of revenues in excess of those in the budget; or
• Meet a public emergency affecting life, health, property, or the public peace.
REPORTING AND CONTROLOF EXPENDITURES
During the months of October,January, and April in each fiscal year, the Director of Finance shall
submit to the Mayor and City Council data showing the relationship between the estimated and
actual revenues and expenditures to date.
If it shall appear that the revenues are less than anticipated, the City Council may, by resolution,
reduce appropriations, except amounts required for debts and interest charges, to such a degree as
may be necessary to keep expenditures within the revenues.

CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Fiscal Year July 1, 2024 -June 30, 2025
ACCOUNTINGGENERALLY ACCEPTED PRINCIPALS
The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform in all material respects to generally
accepted accounting principals (GAAP) as applicable to governments. The Governing Accounting
Standards Board (GASB) is the standard setting body for establishing governmental accounting and
financial reporting principles, which are primarily set forth in GASB's Codification of Governmental
Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards (GASB Codification). Following is a summary of the
significant policies:
REPORTING
As required by GAAP, the City's financial statements and this budget book 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 year-end of June 30. 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 Public Act 31 of

Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority
The Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority (LBRA) was established by the City on August 17,
1997 under the authority of PA 381 of 1996, which authorizes the City to establish and 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. LBRA is authorized to
participate in a broad range of improvement activities intended to encourage the reuse of industrial
and commercial property by offering economic incentives for redeveloopment to prevent property
value deterioration.
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. Tax
increment financing plans must be approved by the City.
Tax Increment Finance Authority
The Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) was established by the City under the authority of PA
450 of 1981, which 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.
The TIFA is authorized to participate in a broad range of improvement activities intended to
contribute to economic growth and prevent property value deterioration. The TIFA's governing board
is appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City Council. Bond issuances to fund
TIFA activites are approved by the City Council and the legal liability for any debt that is issued
remains with the City.
Saginaw Street Corridor Improvement Authority
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.

Michigan Avenue Coridor Improvement Authority
The Michigan Avenue Corridor Improvement Authority (MACIA) was created in 2009 with the goals to

Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority
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.
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

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 defined by the City as those 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.
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 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.

Fiscal Year July 1, 2024 -June 30, 2025
Long-term Obligations
In government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial summaries,
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.
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.
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 City'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.
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 budget generally reflect such transactions as transfers. Operating subsidies are also
recorded as transfers.
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.

Prior to October 1 of each year, City Council transmits its budget priorities to the administration.
Directors were then instructed by the Mayor to review these priorities and by the Chief Strategy
Officer to provide updated summary information of their departments including a comprehensive
inventory of their services.
The Mayor developed an outline of City priorities to promote growth and excellence across all
functions of local governance. The Mayor and Directors met in November to discuss this mission and
its specific objectives to develop and align department's goals and strategies for the upcoming fiscal
year.
CITY •
The City Council, in adopting its annual statement of Budget Policies and Priorities, has established
the following mission for the City of Lansing:
The City of Lansing's mission is to ensure quality of life by:
I. Promoting a vibrant, safe, healthy, and inclusive community that provides opportunity
for personal and economic growth for residents, businesses, and visitors,
II. Securing short- and long-term financial stability through prudent management of city
resources,
III. Providing reliable, efficient, and quality services that are responsive to the needs of
residents and businesses,
IV. Adopting sustainable practices that protect and enhance our cultural, natural, and
historic resources,
V. Facilitating regional collaboration and connecting communities.
In developing the FY 2025 budget recommendation, the Mayor transmitted the budget priorities to
all Directors requesting that Council priorities be reviewed and carefully considered as part of
department budget requests. The mission established as above was included directly in Department
budget instructions as the underlying basis for all specific department objectives to be considered.

SHORT
The City of Lansing primarily supports this objective through the hard work and dedication of the
Departments of Finance; Assessing; Treasury; and by the support of the Chief Strategy Officer.
The City's strategic planning summit identified many of the ways that funding remains a challenge
throughout City departments. There are many needs, and limited resources for which the City must
prioritize to return the best value for our taxpayers. The proposed budget seeks to address these
challenges through the following:
• Balancing the General Fund budget without the use of rainy day funds or by using
proceeds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to subsidize government
operations for revenue losses.
• Adding two staff accountants for the City to eliminate repeat audit findings and
improve financial practices and internal controls across funds and activities.
• Reducing short and long-term liabilities for active and retiree pension and health
benefits by negotiating rates, seeking efficiencies, and paying the full actuarial
defined contribution to stay ahead of our long-term funding needs.
• Careful evaluation of internal service and affiliated agency costs and available
resources to reduce charges to the City while maintaining sufficent funding for
contingencies and annual operations.
• Auditing the methodology for various costings, including the recognition of indirect
costs, charging City 311 by actual call volumes and department support; recognizing
parking costs directly in Department's budgets where previously charged to Human
Resources; and other technical adjustments.
• Aggressively pursuing grant and funding opportunities for essential investments to
improve long-term sustainability and meet long-deferred funding needs, and setting
aside streams of funding for meeting recurring funding obligations as part of the
annual budget.

SOURCESREVENUE OUTLOOK
The Act 51 Major Streets Fund is a statutory Special Revenue Fund under Michigan Public Act 51 of
1951, as amended. It derives its operating revenue from statewide allocation of the tax placed by the
State of Michigan on motor fuel, and from charges against utilities for cutting pavement to access
buried infrastructure. Also included in the above is revenue the City receives under contract with the
State of Michigan for maintenance of State Trunklines within the City.
The City also receives allocations from the Metro Communications Act, in which subscribing local
units such as Lansing that chose to forgo local ordinances and revenue for distributions from the
State under the Act 51 formula which must be used for maintenance of the right of way.
The City, by maintaining a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP), has fewer restrictions in
the amount of Act 51 major streets funding that may be transferred to use for local street projects.
The City currently transfers $4 million for local street projects.
The City's FY 2025 estimate of Gas and Weight Taxes is based on steady growth projected in Sec. 20-
109 Road and Bridge Programs in the Governor's recommended budget proposal using a population
factor of 112,644, 106.92 Major Miles, 65.24 Trunkline Miles, and 304.66 Local Miles.

PUBLIC SAFETY REVENUE SHARING FUND
CITY OF 1 1
Fiscal Year July 1, 2024 -June 30, 2025
REVENUE SOURCES AND OUTLOOK
Funding shall be used for operational and capital expenditures that serve the purposes of public
safety and violence prevention and may be subgranted in whole or part for that purpose. These
reoccuring funds will allow the City of Lansing to hire 15 new police officers and to fund community-
based violence reduction programs.
For distributions made between October 1, 2026 and September 30, 2028, the share of any city,
village, or township whose rate of violent crime does not decrease by at least 5% from the base crime
level will have their distribution reduced by 5% with the reduced amount reallocated proportionately
among recipients that meet the target reduction rate.

The Sewage Disposal System Fund supports the sewer collection system, wastewater plant
operations, and testing, monitoring, and regulating industrial and commercial effluent. Most of the
activity in the fund is directed at meeting the requirements of the City's National Pollutants
Discharge Eliminations Standards (NPDES) permit, under Federal and State law. It is the City's most
capital intensive operation with total net assets of more than $272 million.
Substantial resources of the fund are used to maintain its infrastructure. It derives operating revenue
from fees based on water usage in the City and subscribing sewer districts. This is collected by the
Lansing Board of Water and Light. It also receives revenue from charges to industrial and commercial
customers for testing effluent, along with non-operating revenue from interest income.
Siginificant capital investments include the ongoing Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) separation of
sanitary and stormwater sewer systems as mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
This is funded in part through rate-subsidized State Revolving Loan Fund Program (SRF) borrowing
for eligible costs of this project.

The District Court fund and budget are self-contained operations. The District Court budget
expenditure and the Court-related revenue are accounted for in a separate fund during the fiscal
year, and then both expenditures and revenues are returned to the General Fund at June 30. This
accounting convention effectively makes the Court a General Fund agency, with special budget
considerations attached to its status as the judicial branch of government.

ALLOCATION BASIS
Departments that partner directly with City 311 services are able to develop "knowledge articles" for
frequently asked questions and may share controlled access to data systems, giving City 311 staff the
ability to answer even highly specific and technical questions.
Costs are allocated in the FY 2025 budget in two parts, with half of costs allocated by departments'
share of actual calls received over in FY 2023 (the most recent and first full fiscal year data is
available), and the other half allocated by the number of knowledge articles created on behalf of
Departments that have partnered directly with City 311.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
No significant changes are proposed directly in the proposed budget for City 311 operations. Charges
within departments' budgets have been updated to incorporate actual call results now that a full
operating year of data is available, rather than by personnel counts for public-facing departments.
