Council President Harold Leeman
and Council Members
10th Floor City Hall
Lansing, Michigan 48933-1694
Dear President Leeman and Council Members:
We are pleased to submit the comprehensive annual financial report of the City of
Lansing, Michigan for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Responsibility for both the
accuracy of the data, and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all
disclosures, rests with the City. To the best of our knowledge and belief, the enclosed
data are accurate in all material respects and are reported in a manner designed to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations government wide and of the various
funds of the City. This management assurance is supported by a comprehensive system of
internal controls designed to reasonably ensure that assets of the City are protected from
loss, theft or misuse and to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow
for the preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such controls include appropriate policies and procedures,
ongoing risk assessment, and monitoring and review processes which are communicated
throughout City operations. Disclosures necessary to enable the reader to gain an
understanding of the City's financial activities have been included.
This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the Management’s Discussion and
Analysis and should be read in conjunction with it. The Management’s Discussion and
Analysis can be found immediately following the Independent Auditors’ Report
The financial reporting entity (the City) includes all of the funds and of the primary
government (i.e., the City as legally defined), as well as its blended component units.
Blended component units, although legally separate entities, are, in substance, part of the
primary government’s operations and are included as part of the primary government.
The Lansing Building Authority is a blended component unit. Discretely presented
component units are reported in a separate column in the combined financial statements
to emphasize that they are legally separate from the primary government and to
differentiate their financial position, results of operations and cash flows from those of
the primary government. The Lansing Entertainment & Public Facilities Authority, Tax
Increment Finance Authority, and the Brownfield Redevelopment Authority are reported
as discretely presented component units.
-iv-
The City of Lansing provides a full range of services, including police and fire
protection; sanitation services; the construction and maintenance of highways, streets,
sewers, and infrastructure; recreational activities and support for human services and
cultural events.
Serving as Michigan's capital since 1848, Lansing was incorporated in 1859 and operates
under provisions of Public Act 279 of 1909, as amended (the "Home Rule City Act").
The City is located in the lower middle of Michigan's Lower Peninsula and operates
under a strong Mayor form of government established by 1978 Charter revision. It is a
mature core City with a population of 119,286 according to revised 2000 Census figures.
ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK:
City of Lansing Economic Overview. Though the state of Michigan continues to suffer
through a one-state economic restructuring, averaging through the year a remarkable
7.2% unemployment rate, the highest in the nation, the city of Lansing has done very
well. In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the Metropolitan Statistical
Area (MSA Lansing/East Lansing) was the only MSA in the state of Michigan to
experience a net job growth increase for the calendar year 2006. Not Grand Rapids, Ann
Arbor, Birmingham or Royal Oak, but the city proper of Lansing. The city experienced
an average unemployment rate of approximately 5.4% through FY 2007, with the nation
in the mid to lower four percentile and, again, the state at the 7.2% rate or higher.
In comparing calendar years 2005 to 2006, the city experienced a 324% increase in
private investment and a 289% increase in job growth.
This growth can be attributed to a number of factors:
First, GM brought on line the new Lansing Delta auto assembly plant, located in the city,
employing over 3500 people. A third shift was added in the spring of 2007 due to the
leading sales of the Acadia, Outlook and Enclave SUVs. In addition, three new major
auto suppliers, all located in the city, ramped up creating several thousand jobs. This is in
addition to the five year old Lansing Cadillac car assembly plant, also located in the city,
which continues to produce one of the best selling cars in the GM product line, the
Cadillac CTS. All of these plants received significant incentive packages from the city of
Lansing.
Secondly, the Demmer Corporation morphed from an auto-related manufacturing
operation to military-related production, landing a number of very large Pentagon
contracts related to the depletion of equipment in the Iraq War. As the city of Lansing
announced an incentive package to consolidate this new work in a Lansing facility,
Demmer originally projected creation of 380 new manufacturing jobs. However, by June
of 2007, Demmer had already hired more than 700 new employees and was well on its
way to creating a total of over 1000 new manufacturing jobs. In addition, the city has
been very aggressive with as many smaller manufacturing firms as possible, giving
economic incentives and creating handfuls of new jobs at a time, resulting in a total of
-v-
hundreds of jobs. This all occurred, when there was no significant closures in our
manufacturing sector, unlike almost all other regions of the state.
Thirdly, a growing list of bio-tech firms and IT firms grew in the city. All due to a series
of city incentives and city recruitment and retention efforts, Neogen, Niowave,
Aquabiochip, IDV Solutions, Emergent Biosolutions, Spartan Internet and others
experienced job growth.
Fourthly, downtown Lansing and Old Town continue to blossom in economic growth
terms in ways not seen in over 40 years. Many to nearly all once-empty buildings have
been recently purchased and rehabilitated by a generation of young entrepreneurs who are
fierce about placing, not only retail, but the right kind of retail, in the first floors while
always utilizing higher floors with new loft, apartment and condo development. On
Washington Square, the main street of downtown Lansing and in Old Town, retail
vacancy rates are under a very healthy 10% while residential populations, in and around
downtown, are exploding with hundreds of new units that sell out before construction is
completed, creating a whole new attractive and a disposable income-related residential
activity. Nearly all of these projects are heavily supported by the city’s economic
development incentives.
Finally, Mayor Bernero and the Lansing Economic Development Corporation (LEDC)
have put in place new programs such as:
1) A greatly upgraded economic development office staff for the city.
2) The successful adoption of a joint Lansing/East Lansing TIF district in the
newly created Lansing Regional SmartZone.
3) The adoption of a Tool and Die Recovery Zone.
4) The award of a federal grant to put in place a historic district downtown.
5) The formal announcement of the state’s first multi-jurisdictional Corridor
Improvement District on the critical Michigan Avenue corridor, which
directly connects downtown East Lansing and Michigan State University
with the capitol building in downtown Lansing.
6) The Linking Lansing and “U” program, which is a multi-faceted approach to
connecting the city with the creative class, in particular, graduates and
students of Michigan State University, Cooley Law School and Lansing
Community College through job shadowing, internships, mentoring,
regular trolley service and new events such as “Blues on the Square”.
7) Beautification efforts in the downtown.
8) Mayor Bernero’s “Go Green” environmental initiative.
These are all examples of Mayor Bernero’s and the LEDC’s attempts to institutionalize a
successful and long term strategic economic development plan for the city.
-vi-
CHALLENGES:
But all is not rosy and there was and will be challenges facing the city:
1) The city endures a 24% poverty rate.
2) Updated census figures show another residential decline in city population,
dipping below the 115,000 level from near 120,000.
3) The Lansing School District saw further student enrollment declines.
4) The Tax Increment Finance Authority (TIFA) downtown was unable to make
full debt service payments (the TIFA pays most of the city parking debt,
Lansing Center debt and the Ingham County/City of Lansing consolidated
building debt service). The TIFA fell $350,000 short which was covered
by the full faith and credit of the city of Lansing. Revenue fell short in the
TIFA due to unexpected and hefty tax reassessment victories by the
private sector led by the significant hit of the Radisson hotel’s
reassessment. Future projections for the TIFA are strong and FY 2008
projections show the TIFA in the black and paying the city back the
$350,000. However, if the state were to pull another state building off the
tax rolls and expected projects (State Trooper headquarters and another
state department) do not come on line, the TIFA may again be in danger.
5) The south side of Lansing, where 60% of the city’s population lives and where
most retail activity takes place, is experiencing a 20% plus retail vacancy
rate.
6) As across the country, housing sales and values have decreased and Lansing is
experiencing a high foreclosure rate (the state has the fifth highest
foreclosure rate in the country).
7) While the downtown is strong in redevelopment activity, retail development is
focused on restaurant development, not on true store growth. Also, while
Class A office space vacancy is very low, Class B and C vacancy rates
remain very high, sometimes above 40% averages.
8) The downtown is also too dependent on state government, a classic no-growth
industry. While the state remains an obvious anchor to the downtown,
efforts must be redoubled to retain and grow a dwindling private sector.
This must include a strategic effort to retain and recruit state associations,
corporate headquarters and IT firms to downtown. It is entirely
unproductive for the region to grow (read: flatten out and disappear) with
these types of firms spreading from the downtown to outlying areas.
Utterly, the region will only succeed in the 21st century if there is a strong
re-concentration of private development in downtown Lansing (and in
East Lansing’s downtown for that matter), by a growing, skyline-
changing, interesting cluster of buildings that makes the region visible,
symbolically and in real terms, as a genuine cosmopolitan area, attractive
to younger people and high growth industry. This is the only way to truly
grow the entire region, especially the suburban areas.
-vii-
9) The arts and cultural industry again has been struck hard by reduced state grant
funding and private sector support. This critical piece to an economic
development puzzle, especially when thoughts are of a continued
strengthening of downtown Lansing as a source of growing young people
and young businesses, needs to be reinforced with an infusion of public
investment (the city needs to support the current arts community as well as
to build a Performing Arts Center). For instance, the Boarshead Theater,
Lansing Symphony and Lansing Art Gallery, both located in downtown,
remain in precarious financial positions and the future of the Old Town
Creole Gallery/Theater needs to be monitored and nurtured carefully.
10) The downtown and, in particular, attempts to retain and attract corporate
headquarters and newer and bigger convention business to the Lansing
Center, continues to be badly damaged by a Radisson/City of Lansing
non-compete agreement that seemingly does not allow for any downtown
development that includes incentives to support new downtown hotels.
11) The Majority restaurant closed in downtown and the LEDC agreed to a
temporary suspension of $344,000 LEDC loan repayments until the fall of
2007. The Boys Training School (Eastside Village) has not paid their
taxes, in 2007. While this particular residential development struggles, it
puts in danger Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority large bond
payments that are due in calendar year 2008. The bonds are covered by the
city’s full faith and credit and are also covered, at least in part, by letters
of personal credit of the developers.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK:
Mayor Bernero and the LEDC have crafted many, aggressive strategic plans that focus on
immediate project developments as well as long term solutions. Statistical evidence
supports the success of this program already. Lansing is experiencing a market-driven re-
birth, it is one of if not the strongest market in Michigan. Simply put, these
announcements will fully reconfigure downtown Lansing, its riverfront and its skyline
and radically shift its real estate, residential, retail and convention markets. These
projects will reinforce the city’s efforts to diversify and strengthen the private sector in
downtown and tech sector in the SmartZone, save Boarshead Theater from financial
demise, lead the state in how to retain and recruit the creative class and university
graduates from Michigan State University and help corridor neighborhood/commercial
areas including South Lansing. If the city can avoid a perfect disaster of a UAW/GM
strike and a prolonged state of Michigan government shutdown, expect Lansing to
continue to experience typical urban problems, but shine as “Michigan’s Miracle” in
economic development.

OTHER INFORMATION:
Budgeting Controls. The objective of the City's budgetary controls is to ensure
compliance with legal provisions embodied in the annual appropriated budget approved
by City Council. The City also maintains an encumbrance accounting system, whereby
purchase orders amounts are deducted from the available budget, as one technique of
accomplishing budgetary control. Encumbered amounts lapse at year end and require
Council approval to be carried forward to the ensuing fiscal year for amounts greater than
$5,000 or greater than eight months old. The budget is adopted at the activity level
within each department.
Risk Management. The City carries all-risk coverage on all real and business personal
property. The total coverage is $485 million with a $25,000 self insured retention.
Workers Compensation is self insured with excess reinsurance coverage for claims
exceeding $500,000 from the State Accident Fund. The City carries liability coverage in
the amount of $16 million per occurrence.
Independent Audit. State statutes require an annual audit by independent certified public
accountants. The accounting firm of Rehmann Robson, was selected by the City's Audit
Committee. In addition to meeting requirements set forth in State statutes, the audit also
was designed to meet the requirements of the Federal Single Audit Act of 1984 and
related OMB Circular A-133. The auditors’ report on the general-purpose financial
statements and schedules is included in the financial section of this report.
Awards. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate
of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City for its Comprehensive
Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. This was the 29th
consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. In order to be awarded
a Certificate of Achievement, the City must publish an easily readable and efficiently
organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report satisfied both generally
accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements.
The Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our
current Comprehensive Annual Financial Report continues to meet the Certificate of
Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine
its eligibility for another certificate.
-ix-
Acknowledgments. The preparation of this comprehensive annual financial report, on a
timely basis, was made possible by the dedicated service of the entire staff of the Finance
Department. Each member of the department has our sincere appreciation for their
contributions made in the preparation of this report and in the financial management of
the City. The 29th consecutive GFOA award, recognizing their efforts, is well deserved
indeed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
December 14, 2007
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
City of Lansing, Michigan
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, the aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund and
the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Lansing, Michigan, as of and for the year
ended June 30, 2007, which collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as listed in
the table of contents. These financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Lansing’s
management. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, the
aggregate discretely presented component units, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund
information of the City of Lansing, Michigan, as of June 30, 2007, and the respective changes in
financial position and cash flows, where applicable, thereof and the budgetary comparisons for the
General Fund for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.
-2-
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated
December 14, 2007, on our consideration of the City of Lansing, Michigan’s internal control over
financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts and grant agreements and other matters, in a separately issued single audit report. The
purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial
reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the internal
control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed
in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be considered in assessing the results
of our audit.
The Management’s Discussion and Analysis on pages 3-12 and the historical pension supplementary
information for the Employees’ and Police and Fire Retirement Systems listed in the table of contents
are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required
by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures,
which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and
presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit this information and do
not express opinion on it.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City of Lansing’s basic financial statements. The introductory section,
combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules, and statistical section are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements. The combining and individual fund financial statements and schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole. The introductory and statistical sections have not been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, accordingly, we express no opinion on
them.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS

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, 2007 for the benefit of the
readers of these financial statements. This management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) is intended
to assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues and provide an overview of the City’s
financial activity. The City encourages the readers to consider the following information here in
conjunction with the financial statements taken as a whole, which follow this section.
HIGHLIGHTS
Government-wide:
• The assets of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the fiscal year by $455.6 million
(reported as net assets), an increase of $2.6 million from the previous year. Component units of the
City reported a deficit of net assets of $41.3 million, a decrease of $1.4 million from the previous
year.
Fund Level:
• As of the close of the fiscal year, the City’s governmental funds reported combined ending fund
balances of $44.7 million. Of this, $40.3 million is reported as unreserved fund balance, inclusive of
$5.7 million in the City’s Budget Stabilization Fund and $7.0 million designated for capital projects
for subsequent year expenditure. The remaining fund balance of $4.4 million is reserved for specific
purposes, such as long-term advances to other funds and encumbrances. At the end of the fiscal year,
unreserved, undesignated fund balance for the General Fund was $4.4 million, an increase of $1.7
million.
• The business-type activities reported net assets at year-end of $231.0 million, an increase of $5.5
million during the year.
Debt:
• The City’s total debt was $265.3 million at June 30, 2007, an increase of $18.4 million (or 1.4%),
which represents the net difference between new issuances, and payments and refunding of
outstanding debt. During the year, the City issued debt of $46.4 million, including $21.7 million in
limited tax general obligation bonds for its Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) abatement project, and
refunded $9.2 million of limited tax general obligation bonds. More detailed information regarding
these activities and funds can be found in footnote 3-G, Long Term Debt which begins on page 49.
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 Statements (Reporting the City as a Whole) These statements include all non-
fiduciary assets and liabilities, but exclude assets and liabilities related to pensions. The Statement of Net
Assets and the Statement of Activities are two financial statements that report information about the City,
as a whole, and about its activities, which provide measurements of long term trends that should help
answer this question: Is the City, as a whole, better off or worse off as a result of this year’s activities?
Unlike the governmental funds, the current year’s revenues and expenses are taken into account
regardless of when cash is received or paid, known as “full accrual accounting”.
-4-
The Statement of Net Assets (page 13) presents all of the City’s assets and liabilities, with the difference
between the two reported as “net assets”. Over time, increases and decreases in net assets are an indicator
of whether the City’s long term financial position is improving or deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities (pages 14 and 15) presents information showing how the City’s net assets
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net assets are reported as soon as the
underlying events giving rise to the change occur, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Therefore, revenues and expenses are reported in these statements for some items that will only result in
cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The Statement of Net Assets and the Statement of Activities report three activities, as follows:
• Governmental Activities – Most of the City’s basic services are reported under this category.
Property taxes, income taxes, and intergovernmental revenues generally fund these services. The
Council (legislative branch), the District Court (judicial branch), and general operations of the
executive branch departments, such as police, fire, parks, public works, and staff departments fall
within the governmental activities.
• Business-type Activities – The City charges fees to customers to help cover all or most of the cost 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 three
such discretely presented units; the Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority, the Tax
Increment Finance Authority, and the Brownfield Redevelopment.
These financial statements include two schedules (pages 17 and 19) that reconcile the amounts reported
on the governmental fund financial statements (modified accrual accounting) with governmental activities
(full accrual accounting) on the appropriate government-wide statements. The following summarizes the
impact of transitioning from modified accrual to full accrual accounting:
• Capital assets used in governmental activities are not reported on governmental fund statements.
• Certain revenues that are earned, but not available for use within the reporting period, are reported as
revenues for governmental activities, but are reported as deferred revenue on the governmental fund
statements.
• Other long-term assets that are not available to pay for current period expenditures are deferred in
governmental fund statements, but not deferred on the government-wide statements.
• Internal service funds are reported as governmental activities, but reported as proprietary funds in the
fund financial statements.
• Bond issuance costs, discounts and premiums in the issuance of long term debt, are reported as
expenditures in governmental fund statements, but are capitalized and amortized in the government-
wide statements.
• Unless due and payable, long-term liabilities, such as capital lease obligations, compensated
absences, litigation, and others only appear as liabilities in the government-wide statements.
-5-
• Capital outlay spending in excess of capitalization thresholds are recorded as capital assets on the
government-wide statements, but are reported as expenditures on the governmental fund statements.
• Bond and note proceeds result in liabilities on the government-wide statements, but are recorded as
other financing sources on the governmental fund statements.
• Certain other outflows, such as debt service principal payments, represent decreases in liabilities on
the government-wide statements, but are reported as expenditures on the governmental fund
statements.
The Notes to the Basic Financial Statements provide additional information that is essential to a full
understanding of the data provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements. The notes can
be found beginning on page 30 of this report.
Fund Financial Statements (Reporting the City's Major Funds)
The City’s Major Funds are identified as its Sewage Disposal Fund, and it’s Parking System Fund, along
with its General Fund. The major fund financial statements begin on page 16. In addition to major funds,
individual fund data for the nonmajor funds begins on page 66. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity
with a self-balancing set of accounts that the City uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and
spending for a particular purpose.
• Governmental funds -- Most of the City's basic services are reported in the governmental funds,
which focus on how money flows into and out of those funds and the balances left at year-end that
are available for future spending. The governmental fund financial statements provide a detailed
short-term view of the City's general government operations and the basic services it provides.
Governmental fund information helps determine whether there are greater or fewer financial
resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the City's programs. These funds are reported
using modified accrual accounting, which measures cash and all other financial assets that can
readily be converted to cash. Governmental funds include the General Fund and special revenue,
capital project, debt service, and permanent funds.
• Proprietary funds -- When the City charges customers for the services it provides, whether to outside
customers or to other agencies within the City, these services are generally reported in proprietary
funds. Proprietary funds (enterprise and internal service) utilize full accrual accounting; the same
method used by private sector businesses. Enterprise funds report activities that provide supplies and
services to the general public. Examples are the Sewage Disposal Fund and the Parking Fund.
Internal service funds are reported as governmental activities on the government-wide statements.
• Fiduciary Funds -- The City acts as a trustee or fiduciary for its employee pension plans. It is also
responsible for other assets that, because of a trust arrangement, can be used only for the trust
beneficiaries. The City's fiduciary activities are reported in separate Statements of Fiduciary Net
Assets and Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets beginning on page 25. These funds, which include
pension and other employee benefit funds, are reported using full accrual accounting. The
government-wide statements exclude fiduciary fund activities and balances because these assets are
restricted in purpose and do not represent spendable assets of the City to finance its operations.

Additional Required Supplementary Information
Following the basic financial statements is additional Required Supplementary Information that further
explains and supports the information in the financial statements. The Required Supplementary
Information includes required pension supplementary information.
Other Supplementary Information
Other supplementary information includes combining financial statements for nonmajor governmental
and proprietary funds, internal service funds, 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.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOVERNMENT AS A WHOLE
The City’s combined net assets increased $2.6 million over the course of this fiscal year’s operations to a
total of $455.6 million. The net assets of the governmental activities decreased $2.9 million or 1.3% and
business-type activities increased $5.5 million or 2.5%.

The largest component (76.9%) of the City’s net assets reflects its investment in capital assets (e.g. land,
buildings, equipment, infrastructure, and others), less any related debt outstanding that was needed to
acquire or construct the assets. Restricted net assets are the next largest component, comprising 16.1 %,
and are subject to external restrictions such as bond covenants, City Charter, State legislation or
Constitutional provision. The remaining portion, unrestricted net assets, are resources that may be used at
the City’s discretion, but often have limitations based on policy action.

Property taxes comprised 27.5% of Governmental Activities revenue, with $2,273,042 representing debt
service on voted unlimited tax- general obligation debt. The City’s operating millage is currently 14.95
mills. In accordance with Charter and State Constitutional provisions, the City may levy up to 19.1692
mills for operations in FY 2008.
Income taxes comprised 20.2% of Governmental Activities revenue which fully appears within the
General Fund. Local income tax rates are prescribed by State law, and limited in Lansing’s case to 1% of
resident income and 0.5% of the income of persons working in the City, but living outside of its corporate
boundaries.
State shared revenue is collected by the State of Michigan and distributed to local governments by
formula allocation of portions of the State sales tax and motor fuel and weight taxes. FY 2007 receipts
from the State of Michigan trended downward, due to declining sales tax collections and discretionary
reductions in revenue sharing payments.

Business-type Activities
Net assets of the business-type activities increased by $5.5 million during the fiscal year.
The Sewage Disposal System Fund net assets increased by $4.5 million. This is primarily a result of
funding for capital costs of the combined sewer separation project. Sewage system revenues are expected
to increase by 4% per year over the next five years to continue this 30 year project.
Within nonmajor funds, Cemeteries, Golf, and Potter Park Zoo remain subsidized by the General Fund.
The City of Lansing is continuing its five year plan to eliminate the unrestricted net asset deficit in the
Golf Fund.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY’S FUNDS
As the City completed the fiscal year, its governmental funds reported fund balances of $44.7 million. Of
this total amount, $10.1 million, constitutes unreserved unrestricted fund balance, which is available for
appropriation for the general purposes of the City. This includes $5.7 million in the City’s Budget
Stabilization Fund and $4.4 million in the General Fund. Further of the total amount of $44.7 million,
$29.5 million constitutes unreserved fund balances but are restricted for the purposes of the funds they
were set up for. The remainder of fund balance is reserved and is not available for new spending because
it has already been reserved for specific purposes, including special assessments and encumbrances.
General Fund
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City. At the end of fiscal year 2007, the General Fund
fund balance was $6.9 million, including an unreserved fund balance of $5.0 million and a reserved fund
balance of $1.9 million. The General Fund’s total fund balance decreased $194,035. Unreserved fund
balance increased by $401,168.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights:
Due to the combination of a partial hiring freeze and the following highlights, the FY 2007 budgeted use
of reserves of $1.6 million was not required.
Expenditures came in $1.8 million less than originally budgeted spread over all departments.
Interest and rents revenue came in $545,220 higher than originally budgeted due to a healthy
investment market.
Sewage Disposal Fund
Net assets increased $4.5 million to $200.8 million in FY2007. This was attributable to an increase in
capital assets, net of related debt increasing $6.7 million for the City’s continuing combined sewer
overflow project.
Parking Fund
The Municipal Parking Fund had a decrease in capital assets net of related debt of $1.2 million, mainly
from depreciation of assets. Unrestricted net assets increased $2.4 million, through lower operating costs,
and increased revenues. Total net assets increased $1.1 million from this transaction.
Budget Stabilization Fund
Fund balance at June 30, 2007 remained at $5.7 million. The Fund is limited by Ordinance to 10% of
year end General Fund appropriations.
-11-
Capital Assets
Capital Assets: At the end of the fiscal year 2007, the City had invested $580.5 million, net of
accumulated depreciation, in a broad range of capital assets (see the table below). Total depreciation
charges for the fiscal year were $24.7 million. Additional information regarding the City’s capital assets
can be found in the notes to the basic financial statements.

Infrastructure capital assets in governmental activity funds of $13,179,571 were removed from service
during the year. More detailed information regarding the City’s capital assets is presented in Note 3-D
(Capital Assets) to the financial statements..
Debt Administration
The City, along with the Lansing Building Authority (LBA), a blended component unit of the City, are
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 only dedicated revenue bonds which are
currently outstanding. LBA’s bonds financed the construction of parking, golf course, and firing range
improvements. Revenues derived from user fees from persons using parking and golf facilities fund the
debt service requirements for related improvements, but they are also backed by a limited tax pledge. The
General Fund pays for firing range related debt service. More detailed information regarding the City’s
long-term obligations is presented in Note 3-G (Long-Term Debt) to the financial statements..

ECONOMIC CONDITION AND OUTLOOK
The State of Michigan’s slow economic recovery, combined with rising labor force and healthcare costs,
continues to place budgetary and fiscal constraints on the City of Lansing. A pick-up in income tax
growth (net of a one-time adjustment), along with stable property tax growth, is tentatively positive sign;
however, a structural imbalance between revenue and expenditure growth exists, as is the case for the
majority of cities, especially those that are urban centers, in Michigan.
To address these budgetary challenges, since his inauguration in January, 2006, Mayor Bernero has
implemented a budgetary strategy of maximizing revenues, reducing expenses, improving operational
efficiencies, and investing in productivity-gaining measures and technologies, with an emphasis on
protecting vital services to the public. The Mayor continues to work with Council and the unions to slow
the rising cost of healthcare and other compensation issues. The FY 2008 budget does not require the use
of reserves, and the Mayor has pledged to continue working with Council to eliminate any use of General
Fund reserves for the FY 2009 budget.

Reconciliation of Fund Balances on the Balance Sheet
for Governmental Funds to Net Assets of
Governmental Activities on the Statement of Net Assets
June 30, 2007
Fund balances - total governmental funds 44,671,452$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net assets are
different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources and
therefore are not reported in the funds.
Add - capital assets 462,536,608
Deduct - accumulated depreciation (248,700,455)
Because the focus of governmental funds is on short-term financing, some
assets will not be available to pay for current expenditures. Those assets
(i.e., receivables) are offset by deferred revenues in the governmental funds
and, therefore, not included in fund balance.
Add - deferred ambulance fees 611,512
Add - deferred nuisance fees 457,436
Add - deferred loans receivable 1,207,060
Add - deferred long-term interest receivable 1,663,117
Add - deferred long-term special assessments 717,138
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
equipment maintenance to individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the
internal service funds are included in governmental activities in the statement
of net assets.12,600,622
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and therefore
are not reported in the funds.
Deduct - bonds, loans and leases payable (35,930,925)
Deduct - accrued interest on bonds, loans and leases payable (542,623)
Add - deferred bond issuance costs 67,344
Deduct - compensated absences and other long-term liabilities (14,789,057)

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances of Governmental Fundsto the Statement of ActivitiesFor the Year Ended June 30, 2007
Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds 798,096$
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are
different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlay as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives as
depreciation expense.
Add - capital outlay 20,687,180
Deduct - depreciation expense (12,775,918)
Deduct - loss on disposal of capital assets (3,700,189)
Deduct - capital assets transferred to internal service funds (1,861,442)
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds, but rather are deferred to subsequent
fiscal years.
Add - change in ambulance fees 331,308
Deduct - change in deferred special assessments (131,529)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of certain
equipment maintenance to individual funds. The net increase (decrease) in the
net assets of the internal service funds is reported with governmental activities.
Add - net operating income from governmental activities in internal service funds 1,178,106
Add - gain on sale of capital assets from governmental internal service funds 88,605
Deduct - interest expense from governmental internal service funds (74,038)
Add - capital contributions from governmental internal service funds 3,175,958
Add - transfers in governmental internal service funds 162,000
Debt proceeds provide current financial resources to governmental funds in the
period issued, but issuing debt increases long-term liabilities in the statement of
net assets. Repayment of debt principal is an expenditure in the funds, but the
repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets.
Deduct - issuance of long-term debt (16,711,227)
Add - principal payments on long-term liabilities 3,875,909
Deduct - premium on bond issuances (273,905)
Add - payments to bond escrow agent 1,795,055
Add - bond issuance costs 50,471
Certain expenditures are reported in govenmental funds that reduce long-term
liabilities for purposes of the statement of net assets.
Add - decrease in liability for workers' compensation 362,147
Some expenses reported in the statement of activites do not require the use of current
financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in the funds.
Deduct - increase in accrued interest payable on long-term liabilities (348,392)
Deduct - amortization of debt-related costs (1,314)
Add - decrease in the accrual for compensated absences 477,955

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1-A. Reporting Entity
The City of Lansing (the “City”) was incorporated in 1859. In 1909, the City came under the
provisions of Act 279, P.A. 1909, as amended (“Home Rule City Act”). The City operates
under a strong Mayor form of government in which the Mayor is responsible for
implementation and administration of City policy as established by City Council.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City conform in all material respects to generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applicable to governments. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the standard setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles, which are primarily set forth in
the GASB’s Codification of Governmental Accounting and Financial Reporting Standards
(GASB Codification). Following is a summary of the significant policies:
As required by generally accepted accounting principles, these financial statements present the
City and its component units, entities for which the City is considered to be financially
accountable. The financial data of the component units are included in the City’s reporting
entity because of the significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
(1) Blended Component Units: A blended component unit is a legally separate entity from the
City but is so intertwined with the City that it is, in substance, the same as the City. It is reported
as part of the City and its financial data is combined with data of the appropriate funds. The City
has one blended component unit, the Building Authority with a fiscal June 30 year-end. This
component unit provides services primarily to benefit the City. The blended unit is described as
follows:
(a) Building Authority (the “Authority”): The Authority was established by the City under
Act 31, Michigan Public Acts of 1948. The Mayor, with the advice and consent of City
Council, appoints the Authority's governing body and designates management. The
Authority uses the proceeds of its tax-exempt bonds to finance the construction or
acquisition of capital assets for the City only. The bonds are secured by lease agreements
with the City and will be retired through lease payments from the City. The financial
activity, assets, liabilities and equity of the Authority are incorporated within the City’s
Municipal Parking System and Golf enterprise funds, and the 1998 Building Authority Debt
Service Fund.
(2) Discretely Presented Component Units: Discretely presented component units are entities that
are legally separate from the City but for which the City is financially accountable, or their
relationship with the City is such that exclusion would cause the City’s financial statements to be
misleading or incomplete. The City has three discretely presented component units, the
Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, the Tax Increment Financing Authority and the Lansing
Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority, each with a fiscal June 30 year-end. The
discretely presented component units are as follows:
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-31-
(a) Brownfield Redevelopment Authority: The Authority was established by the City on
August 17, 1997, under the authority contained in Act 381, Michigan Public Acts of 1996
(the Act). The Act authorizes the City to establish and to designate the boundaries of a
Brownfield redevelopment zone. The 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 Authority to participate in a
broad range of improvement activities intended to encourage the reuse of industrial and
commercial property by offering economic incentives for redevelopment to prevent
property value deterioration. Tax increment financing plans must be approved by the City.
Tax increment financing permits the Authority to capture tax revenues which are
attributable to increases in the value of real and personal property located within an
approved project area. Current activities of the Authority include collections of property tax
revenues on project areas for the Rite Aid Pharmacy and the former Motor Wheel Site
Plant.
(b) Tax Increment Finance Authority (“TIFA”): The TIFA was established by the City
under the authority contained in Act 450, Michigan Public Acts of 1981. The Act
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 Act allows the TIFA to participate in a broad range of improvement activities
intended to contribute to economic growth and prevent property value deterioration. The
TIFA’s governing body is appointed by the Mayor with the advice and consent of the City
Council. Bond issuances, to fund the above activities, are approved by the City Council and
the legal liability for the debt remains with the City.
(c) Lansing Entertainment and Public Facilities Authority (“LEPFA”): LEPFA was
established under the charter of the City of Lansing in February 1996, replacing the former
Greater Lansing Convention/Exhibition Authority, which had been responsible for
operating and managing the Lansing Center and the Lansing Civic Arena (the latter through
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995). LEPFA was established to oversee the management
and operations of the Lansing Center, the City Market and the Oldsmobile Park stadium.
The Authority 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 the Authority, all
assets and rights of the Authority shall revert to the City. The Authority's Board of
Commissioners consists of thirteen members appointed by the Mayor of the City of Lansing
and approved by the City Council.

1-B. Basis of Presentation
Government-wide Financial Statements. The statements of net assets and activities display
information about the primary government (the City) and its component units. These statements
include the financial activities of the overall government, except for fiduciary activities.
Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. These
statements distinguish between the City’s governmental and business-type activities. Governmental
activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange
transactions. Business-type activities are financed in whole or in part by fees charged to external
parties.
The statement of activities presents a comparison between direct expenses and program revenues
for the different business-type activities of the City and for each function of the City’s governmental
activities. Direct expenses are those that are specifically associated with a program or function and,
therefore, are clearly identifiable to a particular function. Indirect expense allocations that have been
made in the funds have been reversed for the statement of activities. Program revenues include (a)
fees, fines and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and (b)
grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a
particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are
presented as general revenues.
Fund Financial Statements. The fund financial statements provide information about the City’s
funds, including its fiduciary funds and blended component unit. Separate statements for each fund
category – governmental, proprietary and fiduciary – are presented. The emphasis of fund financial
statements is on major governmental and enterprise funds, each displayed in a separate column. All
remaining governmental and enterprise funds are aggregated and reported as nonmajor funds.

1-C. Measurement Focus / Basis of Accounting
Government-wide, Proprietary and Fiduciary Fund Financial Statements. The government-wide,
proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except for agency funds, which do not have
a measurement focus. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time
liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place.
Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions
associated with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each
party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and
investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods
in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal ongoing operations. The principal operating
revenues of the City’s enterprise and internal service funds are charges to customers for sales and
services. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of
sales and services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and
expenses not meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
Nonexchange transactions, in which the City gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or
giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.
Governmental Fund Financial Statements. Governmental funds are reported using the current
financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this
method, revenues are recognized when measurable and available. The City considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if they are collected within three months after year-end, except for income taxes that use a 45-day collection period, property taxes that use a 60-day collection period, and reimbursement-based grants that use one year. Property taxes, income taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual.
Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred, except for principal and
interest on general long-term debt, compensated absences, and claims and judgments, which are
recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases, if any, are reported as other financing sources. Under the terms of grant agreements, the City funds certain programs by a combination of specific
cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program
expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the
program. It is the City’s policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs,
followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues, subject to satisfying any grant program matching provisions.

All governmental and business-type activities and enterprise funds of the City follow private-sector standards of accounting and financial reported issued prior to December 1, 1989, unless those standards conflict with guidance of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private-sector guidance for their business-type activities and enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The City has elected not to follow
subsequent private-sector guidance.
1-D. Assets, Liabilities and Equity Deposits and Investments The City maintains an investment pool for all City funds. Each fund’s portion of the investment pool is displayed on the statement of net assets/balance sheet as “equity in pooled cash.” The City’s
cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term
investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
State statutes authorize the government to deposit in the accounts of federally insured banks, credit unions, and savings and loan associations, and to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, certain commercial paper, repurchase agreements, bankers acceptances, and mutual funds composed of otherwise legal investments.
Investments are stated at fair value. Short-term investments are reported at cost, which approximates fair value. Securities traded on a national or international exchange are valued at the
last reported sales price at current exchange rates. Mortgages are valued on the basis of future
principal and interest payments, and are discounted at prevailing interest rates for similar
instruments. Investments that do not have established market values are reported at estimated fair
value. Cash deposits are reported at carrying amounts, which reasonably approximates fair value.
Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on pension trust fund investments due to changes in fair
value are recognized each year.
Receivables and Payables
All trade and delinquent property tax receivables are shown net of an allowance for uncollectibles,
as applicable.
Certain notes receivable in governmental funds consist of rehabilitation and redevelopment loans
that are generally not expected or scheduled to be collected in the subsequent year.
Activity between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements outstanding at the
end of the fiscal year are referred to as either interfund receivables/payables (i.e., the current
portion of interfund loans) or advances to/from other funds (i.e., the non-current portion of interfund
loans). All other outstanding balances between funds are reported as due to/from other funds. Any
residual balances outstanding between the governmental and business-type activities are reported in
the government-wide financial statements as internal balances.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-36-
Inventories, Prepaid Items and Other Assets
All inventories are valued at cost using the first-in/first-out method. Inventories of governmental
funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed.
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded
as prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.
Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads,
bridges, sidewalks, and similar items acquired or constructed since June 30, 1980), are reported in
the applicable governmental or business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial
statements. Capital assets that are used for governmental activities are only reported in the
government-wide statements. Infrastructure (“public domain”) assets, including roads, bridges,
sanitary sewers, drains, curbs, and gutters are capitalized. With this measurement focus, all assets
and liabilities (whether current or noncurrent) associated with the operations of these funds are
included on the government-wide statement of net assets.
All land and non-depreciable land improvements are capitalized, regardless of cost. Equipment and
vehicles are capitalized when the cost of individual items exceed $5,000. The road and sewer
networks are all capitalized regardless of cost. Buildings are capitalized over $100,000, and the
recreational facilities’ thresholds range from $25,000 to $50,000.
Capital assets of the primary government are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:
Assets Years
Buildings 20-50
Improvements 8-50
Equipment 3-15
Sanitary sewers 50
Infrastructure 10-75
Compensated Absences
It is the government’s policy to permit employees to accumulate earned but unused vacation and
compensatory time benefits, subject to certain limitations. Certain bargaining unit employees are
also permitted to accumulate earned but unused sick leave. All vacation and compensatory time pay
and 50 percent of sick leave are accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary
fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if
they have matured, for example, as a result of employee resignations or retirements.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-37-
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 type statement of
net assets. Bond premiums and discounts, as well as issuance costs, are deferred and amortized over
the life of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount. Bond issuance costs are reported as deferred charges and
amortized over the term of the related debt.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts,
as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported
as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.
Fund Equity
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report reservations of fund balance for
amounts that are not available for appropriation or are legally restricted by outside parties for a
specific purpose. Fund balance designations represent tentative management plans that are subject
to change.
NOTE 2 – STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY
2-A. Budgetary Information
The City follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial
statements:
On or before the fourth Monday in March, the Mayor submits to the City Council a proposed
operating budget for the fiscal year commencing the following July 1. The operating budget
includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them.
A public hearing on the proposed use of funds is held by the Mayor, and a public hearing on the
annual appropriations as proposed by the City Council is held no later than one week prior to
adoption of the annual appropriation measure.
Not later than the third Monday in May, the Council adopts a budget for the ensuing fiscal year,
makes an appropriation of the money needed therefore, and sets the property tax rate necessary
to support the appropriations measure.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements
-38-
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. The legal level
of budgetary control is the mandatory expenditure accounts level. The mandatory accounts are
personal services, supplies and operating expense, capital outlay, debt service, transfers and
contingency. Transfers of appropriations between the mandatory accounts require the approval
of the City Council. However, the Mayor may authorize budget transfers between mandatory
accounts in a department, but the additional amount may not exceed fifteen (15%) of the
Council's appropriation being added to, or five thousand dollars ($5,000), whichever is less.
Budget-to-actual schedules that demonstrate compliance at the legal level of budgetary control
are not included herein as it would be impractical due to the high level of detail that would be
needed. Such schedules are included in the City's separately issued Budget Report. Copies of
the report may be obtained from the Finance Department, 124 West Michigan Avenue, Lansing,
Michigan 48933.
The City formally adopts operating budgets for the General Fund and all Special Revenue
Funds.
Budgetary integration is employed as a management control device during the year for all
budgeted funds. Except for the General Fund, these budgets are adopted on a basis consistent
with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). In the General Fund, capital lease
payments / installment payments are budgeted, but capital lease acquisitions are not.
Appropriations lapse at year-end for all annual budgets. Appropriations are automatically
carried forward for project-type budgets.
Encumbrance accounting is employed in governmental funds. Encumbrances (e.g., purchase orders
or contracts) outstanding at year end are reported as reservations of fund balances and do not
constitute expenditures or liabilities because the commitments will be reappropriated and honored
during the subsequent year.
2-B. Deficit Fund Balance/Net Assets
The Special Assessments capital projects funds has a deficit fund balance of $139,463. This deficit
is the result of a long-term advance from the general fund that was used to provide the working
capital for the fund in prior years. As special assessments are collected, this deficit will be
eliminated, and the advance repaid.
The Golf Enterprise Fund has a deficit in its unrestricted net assets of $431,171. Total net assets
amount to $2,023,771.

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.
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements

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, have been identified above for the City’s investments.
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, $35,833,653 of the City’s bank balance of
$36,763,126 was exposed to custodial credit risk because it was uninsured and uncollateralized.
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.
Concentration of Credit Risk. 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.
3-B. Deposits, Investments and Securities Lending – Pension Trust Funds
The deposits and investments of the City’s pension trust funds are maintained separately from the
City’s pooled cash and investments, and are subject to separate investment policies and state
statutes. Accordingly, the required disclosures for the pension deposits and investments are
presented separately.
Deposits - The pension trust funds do not maintain any checking or other demand/time deposit
accounts. Amounts reported as cash and cash equivalents in the statement of plan net assets are
composed entirely of short-term investments in money market accounts.

Investments - The Michigan Public Employees Retirement Systems’ Investment Act, Public Act
314 of 1965, as amended, authorizes the pension trust funds to invest in stocks, government and
corporate securities, mortgages, real estate, and various other investment instruments, subject to
certain limitations. The retirement boards have the responsibility and authority to oversee the
investment portfolio. Various professional investment managers are contracted to assist in
managing the pension trust funds’ assets. All investment decisions are subject to Michigan law and
the investment policy established by the retirement boards.
The investments of each pension trust fund are held in a bank-administered trust fund. Following is

Custodial Credit Risk. For investments, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the
failure of the counterparty, the City will not be able to recover the value of its investments or
collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The City’s pension investment
policies require that investment securities be held in trust by a third-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 are not subject to custodial credit risk.

Securities Lending. Under contracts approved by the City, the pension 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 funds’ custodial banks manage the securities
lending programs and receive cash as collateral. The collateral securities cannot be pledged or sold
by the City unless the borrower defaults. Collateral cash is initially pledged at 100 percent of the
fair value of the securities lent, and may not fall below 95 percent of the market value of the loaned
security during the term of the loan. At all times, collateral cannot be more than $100,000 less than
the market value of the loaned security. There are no restrictions on the amount of securities that
can be loaned. Securities on loan at year-end are classified in the preceding schedule of custodial
credit risk according to the category for the collateral received on the securities lent. At year-end,
the pension trust funds have no credit risk exposure to borrowers because the amounts the City
owes the borrowers exceed the amounts the borrowers owe the City. The contract with the pension
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.

data processing, boiler and machinery, police professional and errors and omissions. The City has
not experienced settlements in excess of insurance coverage during the past three years.
The City is uninsured for acts of nature and environmental clean-up costs.
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.
The current liability is accounted for in the General Fund, with long term liabilities accounted for in

The City is permitted by charter and state law to levy taxes up to $19.198 per $1,000 of assessed
valuation for general operations other than the payment of principal and interest on long-term debt.
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, 2007 was $14.95 per $1,000 of taxable value.
4-C. Contingent Liabilities
Amounts received or receivable from grantor agencies are subject to audit and potential adjustment
by grantor agencies, principally the federal government. Any disallowed claims, including amounts
already collected, may constitute a liability of the applicable funds. The amount, if any, of
expenditures which may be disallowed by the grantor cannot be determined at this time although the
government expects such amounts, if any, to be immaterial.
The government is a defendant in various lawsuits. Although the outcome of these lawsuits is not
presently determinable, it is the opinion of the government’s counsel that resolution of these matters
will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the government.
4-D. Defined Benefit Pension Plans
Employees’ Retirement System
The City sponsors and administers the Employees’ Retirement System (the “Plan”), a single-
employer, defined-benefit pension plan. It is accounted for as a separate pension trust fund. No
stand-alone financial reports are issued. It covers general full-time employees of the City of
Lansing and employees of the 54-A District Court. It does not include elected officials, who are
members of the Employees’ Money Purchase Pension Plan, nor does it include police officers and
firefighters, who are members of a separate City pension plan. The payroll for employees covered
by the plan for the year ended December 31, 2006, was $31,943,723; the City’s total payroll was
$58,915,953. Administration of the plan is funded through the General Fund.
As of December 31, 2006, employee membership data was as follows:
Retirees and beneficiaries currently receiving
benefits and terminated employees entitled
to benefits but not yet receiving them 831
Active members:
Vested 265
Nonvested 380
645
CITY OF LANSING, MICHIGAN
Notes To Financial Statements

Approximately 22.5% of the active membership may retire with a combination of age plus service
equal to 65. All other members may retire at age 50 with 25 or more years of credited service or
age 58 with 8 or more years of credited service. Members are vested after completing 8 years of
credited service. For all members, annual regular retirement allowances are determined by
multiplying total credited service times 1.6% to 2.8% times final average compensation. Final
average compensation is the member's highest wages for two consecutive years during the last 10
years. Retirement options that provide for survivor benefits are available to members. The plan also
provides death and disability benefits. If a member leaves employment or dies before vesting,
accumulated member contributions plus interest are refunded to the member or designated
beneficiary. Members who are vested and terminate their employment have the option of deferring
retirement benefits until age 58 or withdrawing their contribution, thereby forfeiting any future
benefits.
Active members contribute between 1.7% and 7.25% of wages as determined by individual labor
agreements. Chapter 292 of the City of Lansing's Code of Ordinances establishes benefit provisions
and requires that the annuity and pension reserves (which are determined annually by the City’s
actuary) not financed by member contributions shall be financed by annual appropriations.
The City’s funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined
rates that expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll, are designed to accumulate sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due. The normal cost and amortization payment for the year ended
June 30, 2007, was determined using an entry age actuarial funding method. Unfunded actuarial
accrued liabilities are being amortized as a level percent of payroll over an open period of 30 years.
Contributions are recognized when due pursuant to formal commitments, as well as statutory or
contractual requirements. The fund is accounted for in essentially the same manner as the
Proprietary Funds and uses the full accrual method of accounting.
Plan valuation assets are equal to the reported market value of assets except that only 20% of the
difference between the mark-to-market rate of return and the 8% actuarial rate of return is
recognized each year. This five year smoothing method reduces the fluctuation in the City’s
computed contribution rate which might otherwise be caused by market value fluctuations. The
entry-age actuarial cost method is used to determine plan liabilities. Significant actuarial
assumptions used in determining the entry-age actuarial accrued liability include (a) a rate of return
on investments of 8% per year compounded annually (b) projected salary increases of 4%
attributable to inflation and 0% to 7% per year depending on age attributable to seniority/merit (c)
assumption that benefits generally will increase $200 annually after age 60.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, total contributions of $6,616,185 were made in accordance
with actuarially determined requirements computed through an actuarial valuation performed as of
December 31, 2005. The City contributed $5,230,666 (16.09% of projected valuation payroll),
excluding contributions for health insurance; employees contributed $1,385,519 (4.78% of
projected valuation payroll). The City’s contribution consisted of (a) $3,283,602 normal cost
(10.10% of projected valuation payroll) and (b) $1,947,066 amortization of the unfunded actuarial
accrued liability (5.99% of projected valuation payroll).

Police and Fire Retirement System
The City sponsors and administers the Police and Fire Retirement System (the “Plan”), a single-
employer defined-benefit pension plan. It is accounted for as a separate pension trust fund. No
stand-alone financial reports are issued. It covers all police officers and firefighters who are full-
time employees of the City. The City’s payroll for employees covered by the plan for the year
ended December 31, 2005, was $29,582,427, the City’s total payroll was $58,915,953.
Administration of the plan is funded through the General Fund.

benefits and terminated employees entitled
to benefits but not yet receiving them 641
Active members:
Vested 256
Nonvested 198
454
Members may retire at any age with 25 or more years of credited service, or age 55 with 10 or more
years of credited service. Members are vested after completing 10 years of credited service.
Members are required to retire at age 70. Annual retirement allowances are determined by
multiplying final average compensation by 3.2% for the first 25 years of credited service. The
maximum allowance is 80% of final average compensation. Final average compensation is the
member's highest wages for 2 consecutive years.
When an employee who had retired subsequent to August 31, 1966, dies, the plan provides for an
automatic pension to the retiree's spouse. This automatic pension is equal to 50% of the regular
retirement benefit the employee had been receiving at time of death. Effective July 30, 1990,
members may elect a reduced benefit, either 93% or 86% of the regular benefit, thereby increasing
the spouse pension to 75% or 86% of the regular benefit, respectively. Alternately, members may
elect a non-spousal beneficiary option. The plan provides death and disability benefits. If a member
leaves employment or dies before vesting, accumulated member contributions plus interest are
refunded to the member or designated beneficiary. Members who are vested and terminate their
employment have the option of deferred retirement benefits until age 55 or withdrawing their
contribution, thereby forfeiting any future benefits.
Fire members are required to contribute 7.58% of their annual wages to the plan. Police supervisors
are required to contribute 9.52% and police non-supervisors, 8.50%. Chapter 294 of the City of
Lansing's Ordinance establishes benefit provisions and requires that the portion of the annuity and
pension reserves (which are determined annually by the City’s actuary) not financed by member
contributions shall be financed by annual appropriations.
In addition to the payments under this plan, the City made payments from the General Fund to
provide benefits for the beneficiaries of a prior pension plan. This prior plan was superseded by the
present plan as of January 1, 1944. There were no payments made to beneficiaries under that plan.
The City’s funding policy provides for periodic employer contributions at actuarially determined
rates that, expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll, are designed to accumulate sufficient
assets to pay benefits when due. The normal cost and amortization payment for the year ended
June 30, 2007, was determined using an entry age actuarial funding method. Unfunded actuarial
accrued liabilities are being amortized as a level percent of payroll over an open period of 30 years.

Plan valuation assets are equal to the reported market value of assets except that only 20% of the

attributable to inflation and .51 to 11.5% per year depending on age attributable to seniority/merit
(c) assumption that benefits generally will increase $525 annually after retirement.
During the year ended June 30, 2007, total contributions of $8,105,603 were made in accordance
with actuarially determined requirements computed through an actuarial valuation performed as of
December 31, 2005. The City contributed $5,385,960 (18.35% of projected valuation payroll),
excluding contributions for health insurance; employees contributed $2,719,643 (9.47% of

Employees’ Money Purchase Pension Plan
The City of Lansing sponsors and contributes to the Employees’ Money Purchase Pension Plan (the
“Plan”), which is a single-employer defined - contribution pension plan. Administration of the plan
is funded by the General Fund.
A defined contribution pension plan provides pension benefits in return for services rendered,
provides an individual account for each participant, and specifies how contributions to the
individual's account are to be determined instead of specifying the amount of benefits the individual
is to receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive
depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant's account and the returns earned on
investments of those contributions. As established by Chapter 292.30 of the City of Lansing's Code
of Ordinances, this plan includes all elected officials hired subsequent to September 30, 1990. As
of June 30, 2007, there were 10 active members in this plan. Contributions made by employees vest
immediately, and contributions made by the City vest after three years of full-time employment.
When employees terminate employment, they are entitled to their contributions and the City’s
contributions if vesting requirements are satisfied. Employees may contribute up to 8% of their
wages in 1% increments. The City contributes an amount equal to 6.0% of the employees’ wages
for retirement benefits.
During the year, the City’s required and actual contributions amounted to $20,146, which was
approximately 6% of covered payroll of $335,752. There were no employee contributions.
No pension provision changes occurred during the year that affected the required contributions to be
made by the City. In addition, the plan does not issue stand-alone financial statements.

4-E. Postemployment Benefits
The City of Lansing contributes to the Employees’ Retirement System, the Police and Fire
Retirement System, and the Voluntary Beneficiary Association (VEBA), amounts to pre-fund post
employment healthcare. In the Employees’ Retirement System and the Police and Fire Retirement
System, these other postemployment benefits (OPEB) are set up as reserves in the pension plans,
and their investments are commingled with the investments of the pension. Portfolio makeup is
reported as a percentage of total pension plan assets. Earnings are calculated based on a seven year
smoothed rate of return of the retirement systems. Eligible participants include any retirees who
receive pension benefits under the respective pension plans. OPEB plan provisions are established
and may be amended by the City Council, subject to the City’s various collective bargaining
agreements.
Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA). The City of Lansing Voluntary Employees
Beneficiary Association (the “Plan”) is a single-employer defined benefit post employment
healthcare plan established by the City to provide medical and healthcare benefits for retirees and
their beneficiaries. Eligible participants include any retirees who receive pension benefits under one
of the City’s pension plans. The Plan is funded by a trust agreement established pursuant to Section
501(c)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code that allows for the formation of a VEBA. During the year,
the City contributed $2,000,000 to the plan.
Employees’ Retirement System. The City provides postretirement health care benefits, in
accordance with labor agreements, to full-time employees of the City and employees of the 54-A
District Court (not including police officers and firefighters who are members of the Police and Fire
Retirement System). Depending on date hired, members are eligible to receive health care benefits
with a minimum of 8 to 15 years of service and an age requirement ranging from none to age 58.
The City provides the full cost of health benefits to retirees, payable to health care vendors, and also
reimburses retirees eligible for Medicare benefits of $88.50 per month for each covered retiree and
dependent(s). The payments are charged to the Fringe Benefit Internal Service Fund of the City and
are recognized as expenses as payments are made. During the year, payments for health care
benefits were approximately $8,038,064 and the City contributed $700,000 to the Employees’
Retirement System.
There were no significant changes in health benefits over the previous year.
Police and Fire Retirement System. The City also provides postretirement health care benefits, in
accordance with labor agreements, to full-time police officers and firefighters with a minimum of
15 years of service and an age requirement of 55 years. If service is 25 years or more, there is no
age requirement. The City provides the full cost of health benefits to retirees, payable to health care
vendors, and also reimburses retirees eligible for Medicare benefits of $88.50 per month for each
covered retiree and dependent(s). The payments are charged to the Fringe Benefit Internal Service
Fund of the City and are recognized as expenses as payments are made. During the year, payments
for health care benefits were approximately $7,808,111 and the City contributed $570,000 to the
Police and Fire Retirement System to fund retiree healthcare.

There were no significant changes in health benefits over the previous year.
Plan valuation assets for the OPEB plans are equal to the reported market value of assets except that
only 20% of the difference between the mark-to-market rate of return and the 8% actuarial rate of
return is recognized each year. The entry-age actuarial cost method, with a 30 year amortization of
unfunded accrued liabilities was used to determine the liabilities. The entry-age method is a stable
method that is consistent with a level percentage of payroll financing. The actuarial accrued
liability assumes a healthcare cost trend rate of 12% to 4%.
At December 31, 2003 (the date of the most recent actuarial valuation), the assets in excess of
actuarial accrued liability were determined as follows:
